Friends, we made it. For the first time in my ever-lovin’ life, I have held onto a New Year’s Resolution, and held firm to a commitment on a project: as promised way back at the start of 2015, I have managed to cobble together a mix every month to share with you delightful people.
And I’m gonna do it again. Starting in January, I’m migrating things over to steelapesessions.tumblr.com (don’t go yet, there’s nothing to see), where you can count on me for a Spotify mix of old jams and new every month, on the month.
I’m also going to compile a year-end-best-of of the mixes in the next week or so, so keep an eye out!
