First we have our girl in Los Angeles – Louisahhh – with her mix for Nicky Digital x Kaviar & Cigarettes.
“In celebration of Valentines Day 2013 and our collaboration with Kaviar & Cigarettes we’ve got our special DJ friend LOUISAHHH!!! to mix up a lil something special for your ears! Download it, Enjoy it and share it with your lover(s)!”
French producer and all around amazing fella Sam Tiba is about to release his “Saddest Show In Town EP” on Pelican Fly, this smooth Valentine’s mix makes us very anxious to hear what he has in store for the upcoming release.
L.A duo Classixx with a sexy mix for all you lovebirds out there.
Valentine’s Day according to Julio Bashmore who shares his remix of “Suit & Tie”.
Vancouver duo Expendable Youth smashes it with some serious bass music dance vibes.
David Heartbreak with a mix of “the perfect chill future bass vibes”:
“Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Benzi & Mike Posner unleash their super sexy new mix made exclusively for Diplo’s BBC Radio show “Diplo & Friends” and that aired this past weekend.

Last, Hudson Mohawke continues his classic Slow Jams Valentine’s mixes for LuckyMe.
Brooklyn producer and latest addition to the LuckyMe roster Baauer is sweeping the internet with YouTube videos of people dancing to his massive “Harlem Shake” track, here he chooses some of his favorite tracks in the Red Bull Music Radio segment Headphone Highlights.
“…he connects the dots from his origins as a hardcore Wu-Tang and Madlib fanboy, to his fascination for the sticky raps from the dirty dirty and UK bred bass stylings. And just in case you’re wondering how a, say, semi-acclaimed, long-time defunct German rap outfit ended up finishing his otherwise water-proof selection: We were just as surprised as you are. Tune in and get the full picture…”
Angel Haze & Lunice “Gimme That” (Songs from Scratch Session) from Yours Truly on Vimeo.
“This October, in the aftermath of Angel Haze’s first ever London performance, she and LuckyMe producer Lunice – fresh from a gig at the Warehouse Project with Hudson Mohawke as TNGHT – met for the first time at Metropolis Studios, where they worked into the night creating a new song, from scratch. “Gimme That,” is an all-out assault as Angel Haze lays a relentless tongue-lashing to Lunice’s synth, kick, and snap stew. The single, available for free download November 14 at Yours Tru.ly is the latest in Adidas Originals and Yours Truly’s “Songs from Scratch” series that also includes Danny Brown & Araabmuzik’s “Molly Ringwlad” and Joey Bada$$’ “Daily Routine”.
Glaswegian producer S-Type just released his stellar “Billboard EP” next week on LuckyMe Records and here he among other things adds some triumphant sounding synths to the Pusha T track “What Dreams Are Made Of”.
Our NYC buddy Nick Hook (of Cubic Zirconia) with a mix for LuckyMe that pleases our ears with everything from Lunice to Kraftwerk for a perfect saturday night hype vibe or for when – as the title suggests – you’re dreary from crossing time zones.
“Seven degrees of separation is all bullshit. It doesn’t exist. The maths add up but really people in this world are not equally connected. See most of us are just nodes, all individuals. We do our work and we see our friends and we retire for the night. But if you want to know people, really meet people, you need these ‘hubs’ – these guys who spent their life doing their work and then going out to meet people, refusing to retire for the night. And Nick Hook is one those hubs. We met at SXSW in 2010 and me and Mo instantly fell in love with him after watching Cubic Zirconia melt this packed lil show to 150 people in a tiny style bar. The next day we all gatecrashed Peter Rosenbergs beats showcase and Nick was hitting shots of Jameson and freaking out the backpackers by blowing a rave whistle over the MPC hip hop sets. Ever since, we’ve been cool. The last few years of knowing him have resulted in us meeting some of our heroes through him (YAKBALLZ!) and introducing him to mutual friends (AZEALIA BANKS!). We’ve played a couple great parties together in New York, London & Scotland. And we’re still trying to get a release out of him but Nick is always flying somewhere to hang out and work with someone else. Anyway – we’re looking forward to SXSW again this year. And this tape is a SXSW flyer for him. It sums up the people he knows and works with – as well as the insane amount of travelling he does and the good vibe he effortlessly exudes. Salute Nick Hook. Most popular unsung hero in every single scene right now.”

“5 years deep, the kid Hudson Mohawke returns with the definitive soundtrack to Valentines. Look, cancel that reservation. Put the money into good pizza and champagne. You’re getting this shit for free so buy your spiritual counterpoint something: the Heathers DVD. A single rose. Some salted caramels. Whatever. You got all the other magic you need right here. And if you’re alone tonight that’s okay; being into shit like this you’re gonna be fine. Trust us. Buy yourself those caramels. Get naked enough. Let a lil Mo get inside you… Happy Valentines everybody.”
