Despite the heat here in Ohio we're almost at the end of summer. School is revving back up and things are going to start turning. It's as good of a time as any to stay up late with good folks & good tunes. This mix is definitely leaning towards the cool end of summer nights. Some old familiars (can't go wrong with Sam Cooke), one of my favorite songs of all time (Brenton Wood's "Oogum Boogum Song") and an incredible song I recently discovered thanks to the fantastic Dardenne brothers (Petula Clark's "La nuite n'en finit plus", from which the mix got it's title) among other hard hitters & hip shakers. Call up some friends after hours and get to it.
