atypicalLIVING Resident DJ, DJ enJAY is dropping more than just the love this Valentine’s Day. We are proud to present the V-Day 2.0 mixtape. Featuring the finest in love tracks that will get you in the mood for this Sunday’s love fest. Or NBA All-Star game. Or whatever else you got planned that day.
About 20 minutes in, and I’m already getting flashbacks of nervous middle school dancing.
A surefire sign of a good mixtape.
I know I posted some of these songs last Sunday on my personal blog, but I’m gonna do my own little mix again, as part of the lightsleepers tradition of rocking a Love Song mixtape for February 14th.
So, here goes my list. You can also check out the other lists being brewed up by LOFA, KTC, and Newkon.

Your Touch – The Black Keys: Of Course, I’d have to start it off with something rocking. This song, if you watched Zombieland, comes up at the romantic peak of the movie.
Nothin’ On You – B.o.B feat. Bruno Mars: Ummm… I just like this song haha. Those beautiful girls… they got nothin’ on you, girl.
I Wanna Be – Avant: Now, we getting serious. I think this song speaks to the lover in all of us. Especially those that have to prove a point to make sure that they won’t hurt the other like the previous person.
A Song For You – Donny Hathaway: See the above description and apply it to this song too. This songs hits al the right emotional points and should demonstrate the way how a love song should be sung. I love you so much, that’s why I’m singing this song for you, girl.
Pretty Wings – Maxwell: This song speaks to me like I have to let you go to make your life better. No better love than one who lays his best interests in the better interest of another. I love you a lot, but I know there’s someone that can love you better, so I want you to be free and find yourself, hopefully finding that person in the process.
Or it can just be a dope song. Whatever.
Slow Dance – John Legend: This song reminds me of just chillin’ on the couch with your beloved and just reminiscing about all the dope times, making more memories along the way. Life is about making those moments you remember, not really dwelling on the petty stuff.
Knocks Me Off My Feet – Stevie Wonder: “There’s something about your love, that makes me weak… and knocks me off my feet.” SING IT STEVIE!
Dance with Me – Intrigue: Everyone has that song that reminds them of 9th grade prom/formal/dance/whatever. This is that song for me. When listening to this song, imagine trying to dance with one of your close female friends, all while trying to stare at her forehead.
(They Long To Be) Close To You – The Carpenters: It’s Homer and Marge Simpson’s wedding song. How can you not think this is romantic?
A Little Bit – Drake and Lykke Li: For some reason, when I think of a particular person, this song plays in my head.
Pretty Brown Eyes – Mint Condition: When this song comes on, you know it’s time to get the slow dancing started.
You Make My Dreams Come True – Hall and Oates: Did you watch 500 Days of Summer? I feel the same way walking out of my house when I hear this song. I think any woman that can have that affect on me is definitely wifey material. Serious.
And that’s my mix this year. Hope you enjoy it with someone you love.
This Saturday at both prototype locations, the PType fam will release a special edition collaboration with one of Hawaii’s best MCs, Creed Chameleon. This collabo, called the Ultimatum Pack, will feature this special washed denim, camo billed New Era dome piece along with a copy of Creed Chameleon’s Flip The Bird debut “The Ultimatum.”
I don’t know how to say this, but this is gonna be pretty special. So, make plans to make your way down to Pearlridge or Ala Moana for the release of this special collaboration.
