Guest Mix #45: ALSTON (Hawaii / NYC)

Soul

Since St-Valentine’s is just around the corner we figured we’d ask one of the biggest aficionados of Soul 45’s. ALSTON is originally from Hawaii, but based in NY for the last 9 years.

About the mix in his own words: “Im not too good with words or describing things, but when i was asked to make a Valentines mix these were the songs that came to mind. They are mostly heart wrenching songs with some songs of hope and happiness mixed in. I connect with the sadder more heart crushing songs because i feel they carry more weight and true feelings”
