Some heavy hitters stopped by A Downtown Affair for a special night of sensual music making last Friday. Josh took us on a late night drive through Detroit & Chicago’s take on uptempo R&B during the latter half of the ’80s, before Bennett put the kids to sleep and showed us the more domestic, urbane side of an adult contemporary dance floor. Tackleberry & Mike McGill rounded it out with selections of offbeat ballads and fireside grooves.

Be sure to check out Josh Dunn over at 100 Limousines. Classy music, with the forthcoming mix ‘Tennis Court Place’ coming at ya real soon. Serious tip only!

Bennett’s supremely personal mix Wine Coolers is coming to this very domain shortly…

Up next on ADA, a special mix coming from Spankie Hazard from Japan!
