Greek Sessions: The Sounds of \\u03a3\\u03c0\\u03ad\\u03c4\\u03c3\\u03b1\\u03b9 (Happy Birthday Vivienne!)

Viv\\u2019s birthday set, which means that my only objective was to mix tunes she would know and /or like "a la premiere ecoute".
Pour yourselves a margarita or two, clear up the deck or\\xa0 living room, for I bet that at some stage within the set you will either sing-along or have a bit of a dance.
Happy House: a blend of soulful classics and funky current grooves. Very little if any acappellas as Viv hates them, just pure simple joyful music.
A word on the Intro: Spetses, greek island in the Aegean sea, .where only taxis are allowed and one either walks, cycles or takes a horse carriage ride around the island. It is the family\\u2019s favourite place in the world and I first started mixing the Greek Sessions overlooking the sea sipping a frappe at the Spetses Hotel in July.

Highlights: I really love all the tunes but if I had to pick: \\u201cSomeone like You\\u201d pure funky house bliss. \\u201cNothing Can Come Between Us\\u201d and \\u201cKeep the Fire Burning\\u201d, classic remixes of the Nelson/Shane D. duet..\\u201d You Make Me Feel\\u201d DJ Meme massive remix produced by Frankie Knuckles is AAA+.
I realized once I had mixed the set that it bears more than a resemblance with one of C&M\\u2019s latest\\u2026 This is pure serendipity! Not that I compare myself with them (we are not operating in the same universe let\\u2019s be serious) but I really did not have their set in mind when I started mixing mine.
Most probably I will go dark and trancy with my next one.
Enjoy.
