CoachMVP dropped Lillo’s I’m In Love, which segues effortlessly into Kashif’s Personality, Kashif’s dip into New Jack Swing.
Both tracks were produced by Kashif. CoachMVP then surprised me by dropping Midnight Star’s Night Rider, which I had not heard in more than 15 years. Love Is For Suckers, with it’s humorous intro, is one of my favorite cuts from them, with it’s infectious beat.

Jane Child’s I Don’t Wanna Fall In Love was brought to you by Thierno. "The track brought Teddy back into the game," he says, "after a messy break up with his partner Gene Griffin. Teddy said the success of this remix project made him realize he was still relevant in the scene. Thank God." But Thierno didn’t stop there. He dropped two cuts from the Jackson family, She and Jermaine and Face’s cut Treat U Right, which has Color Me Badd on background vocals.

CoachMVP dropped Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass’ Route 101, a breezy track from 1981. I personally think I caught a lot of trash talkin’ in high school for digging this track so much. But then to make me shake my head even more, he dropped Rockie Robbins’ Time To Think after an exhaustive search. Incredible. Hitting me once more, he pulled out Kool & The Gang’s Jones vs Jones.

Continuing on with the schmooveness, CoachMVP dropped Luther’s Make Me A Believer, while Thierno mixed in Wednesday Lover. Rounding it out, we’re blessed with Gary Taylor’s Tease Me and Anita Baker’s No One To Blame.

This is an absolutely solid mix, and starts off autumn nicely. Much love to CoachMVP and Thierno. Hope you enjoy.
