LONELY HEARTS SOCIAL CLUB

This mix is dedicated to those who have lost love and are struggling with heartbreak and loneliness while separated from someone deeply missed. These feelings have been hardened by the isolation and disruption of the global pandemic. Here’s to hoping this helps us feel less alone.

The opening and closing sample as well as the covert art were lifted from the 1950 film In A Lonely Place starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame. These are direct from vinyl mixes (and I am still learning!) so forgive any imperfections.
