Launching off with a beautiful a capella from The Beatles, Nordic Soul's mix seamlessly blends together 24 groovy, sexy, and downright amorous selections, with a particular focus on contemporary jams with a smoky R&B and pulsating house streak. Featuring tracks by artists such as FKA twigs, Dusky, and ODESZA, as well as unstoppable bootleg remixes by Soul Clap, L-Vis 1990, and Ryan Hemsworth, Nordic Soul's mix will transport your ears, body, and heart to a most seductive dance floor.
