Happy Valentines day to all of you lovers and haters-of-love out there. Here’s a special little mix we made a couple of years ago just for this occasion, aptly called “The Mouth is for to Fuck”. Clicky clicky the lovely ladies below to download the mix, and printable PDF valentines we made just for you. Any man or lady or plant or animal will be sure to swoon:
Also, this Saturday (February 18th) at Cheer Up Charlie’s, we’ll be teaming up with Leisure Tourniquet for a special post-valentines day variety show of music, dance and et ceteras. We’ll be DJing, Little Stolen Moments will be performing, Willow House (some members of My Education and friends) will be playing covers of the best break up love songs, plus much much more. Click the image below to go to the event and for more information.
Recspec loves you long time. Don’t ever forget that.
Xoxo,
Lau and Dave
Our friend Prince Klassen recently transfered his self to NYC from Austin, and we feel that his move is reflected in this lovely fall mix. Seems like the perfect thing to bundle up and walk the cold concrete of a big city to. It’ll definitely keep you warm.

As part of our monthly nights at Rio Rita, we also have a podcast representative of the style of music and theme specific to each month. This month we are lucky enough to have The Cosmic Orphan as a guest DJ, playing on the night and crafting the podcast. It is really a stunning, perfect mix, and very very recommended listening.
