New at Art of the Mix: your scary 80s 5 and your scary 80s 6. As I write on the site, odd-numbered volumes in this series contain songs that I’m ashamed to remember (e.g. “I Can’t Wait” by Nu Shooz), and even volumes contain songs I wish I had listened to at the time.

Copies will be on the way shortly to the usual suspects; if you’d like to be a usual suspect, let me know.

I’ve been trying to make these for several months, but it took a long time to put them together. Sometimes making these themed mixes feels like I’m clearing my throat... it’s necessary but there’s something else I have to say. Not sure what that is yet.
