Chocōlate Sōul ~ G.O.O.D. Music Mixed....

Hello there 2012.. I've been waiting for you. Thought I'd start the New Year off with a mix of what I'd like to spin exclusively. A mixture of S.O.U.L. Music that keep heads noddin' to dancin'. So I'm looking forward to the spring so that I can try to find a venue for "Chocolate Soul" to spin on a weekly basis where I currently live. I just think it's time for something outside the box yet soulful all night long. Here's an example of what I night could be like for an after work "Soul Session". Order a nice drink, meet up with friends & just chill to some G.O.O.D. Music. Why not? Hope you dig the (((vibes))) & feel free to post anywhere, share with those who may like as well & spread the good word: "Good Music Lives". (Let me know what you think with a comment as well...) Til next time, Peace & Thanks for listening. (smoovy)
