copy/paste 213: PJ forever
This past week one of my favourite djs of all-time, one of the greatest to ever do it, the Chicago house legend Paul Johnson passed away at the age of 50. I’m not gonna lie, this one hit me in the gut. but instead of asking pointless questions to the sky, i’m channelling this feeling into an all-PJ mix, traversing the decades, and arriving at the final release of his staggering career. it’s all PJ, PJ forever. ✌️

copy/paste 212: endless summer nights
I think my favourite part about summer is when we can go out at night with just shorts and a tee. no sweater, jacket, no bulky bag, just freedom in a breezy night. and it’s just about that time of year in vancouver! here’s to an endless summer, and endless summer nights. it’s not true, but we can dream 🌚

copy/paste 211: a summer mix
more of a dip-your-toes-in type of summer than a jump-without-looking, and yet, I feel the optimism all the same. I do “the summer mix” annually on copy/paste, but this year feels far too different. I am past the point of making definitive proclamations, so there will be no definite article coming from me. Instead, I present to you, “a summer mix.” See ya soon, I hope 🤙
