A mostly electronic mix from 2005 containing the obligatory Henrik Schwarz selection and Guido Schneider but then there's also some UB40, Lalomie Washburn and a pretty mad dubstep track thrown in. Grab it here
To launch this blog here is a Keep Love Alive mix inspired by a wonderful piece of music from Webster Lewis with Barry White's Love Unlimited Orchestra. The lyrics of this track say it all:
"Welcome Aboard ... Welcome Aboard
You don't need no reservations,
All it takes is you,
Music is your ticket (That's Nice!),
Hope You Enjoy It Too."
Great lyrics supported by sublime strings and a snare-heavy drum pattern that sounds way ahead of its 1981 release. Welcome Aboard is featured in this mix a few tracks into an hour long selection of soulful dance music that includes Melba Moore, The Jackson 5 and, ahem, Hot Chocolate. We hope you enjoy this Valentine's Day offering of musical love
