Why So Serious?

Dance music these days tends to overwhelmingly fall in the categories of dark, dreamy, melancholic, or minimal, but its roots are nothing but! To celebrate the end of summer, I compiled a list of classic-sounding house tracks with a distinctly sunny vibe, many of which incorporate acid and Afro influences quite explicitly. Berlin snobs beware - this is house music at its cheekiest and funkiest to be enjoyed on a hot summer day :)

The mixing is still not as tight as I would like but has improved significantly. I especially enjoyed the live, impromptu acid house mashup of Good Life that came up about halfway through the mix.
