Excited to share with you a new series by one of our favorite ladies Teknacolorninja! This mix starts a series of deep cuts and rare tracks, be sure to check out her other mixes as well.

From the Ninja:

“Love Letter Series”:

I’ve been hankering to do a ‘love mix’ for some time now and wanted it to be more than just a vibe. My idea was to showcase the emotional, gentle, funky, groovy and uplifting beats in the form of a lyrical journey of “letters”. The song selections may seem different from my bassy queen self, but yet, another shade of musical goodies via the NINJA. I’ve been harboring some of these tracks for a while, so expect more from this series as it develops, I hope you enjoy Love Letters Vol. 1!
