Jensen Sportag - Modcast #91 - Body Haiku

My goodness I’ve missed you all— these last two weekends are known as a bit of a birthday blowout in our family, considering that my mother and father have birthdays a week apart (and both expect separate celebrations); really though, it was a well received vacation break but I’m ready to get back into the rhythm.

Speaking of rhythm, a great way to reintroduce me into the music blog/site/whatever world is a combination of a great mix series and one of my favorite duos, Jensen Sportag. As I hit the ground running to compile all the other artists I ran into while vacationing (You didn’t expect me to go cold turkey on my workaholic tendencies, did you?), note that I’ll probably be writing while listening to this mix:

Morning Alarm: Jensen Sportag - Gentle Man

Having had an eventful trip back home from Outside Lands and missing an entire work day, sleeping in was mandatory. So when I wobbled over to my computer this morning only to find a new Jensen Sportag track— little did I know that my excitement would slowly turn to me curled up in my chair with my hands hiding my reddening face. Maybe my bashful reaction should be on point, considering the content and the duo. Not for everyone, but definitely for the easily shamed and shameless.

Jensen Sportag - Pure Wet + The Wet Mix

It’s no mystery that my love of Jensen Sportag has extended to near cosmic levels— however, their last release Pure Wet  has pushed that limit; it has since become a staple in my sexy-time/commuter-hits rotations. Something about playing “Everything Good” when running after an early bus that keeps my spirits high. Highly recommended listening below:

Jensen Sportag - Pure Wet EP by CASCINE

So when I got this goodie from CASCINE in my inbox this morning, not only was I thrilled at the idea of Jensen remixing Jensen, I was even more anticipatory at the result. Though presented as a companion piece, it stands well on its own; The Wet Mix gives us 14 minutes of blush-inducing melodies + nostalgia-evoking sampling and will be on replay for the rest of the day:
