Just got back from a trip to the East Coast to make a quick celebration, and when I say quick, it was QUICK. So quick, that I barely had time to rummage through VP Records’ finest vinyl selections. I kid you not, that I only had 15 minutes to bust in, flip through the stacks, chatty-chatted with the owner and bust the hell out, in order to make my flight back to L.A. The consequences of missing a flight is NO JOKE. But besides on missing flights, you also shouldn’t be missing out on some new 2009 tunes. Yes, it’s been a while since the last post, but we haven’t forgotten about you folks, and hopefully this 12-minute mix can rekindle our long lost flame from our Best Kept Secret.

To make this a double-header smasher, we not only provide you this VP Records exclusive mix free of charge, but to also announce that we will be starting up a new monthly spot at Culver City’s dark & dirty secret bar, CARBON. It will be on the 1st wednesdays of every month starting this April 1st, creating a slightly different format than the usual Best Kept Secret. We will definitely drop more info on it soon enough, but for now take heed of some Lover’s Rock stylii conjured by New York’s finest.
