Tried & True is a vintage boutique in LA's famed Fairfax district, boasting an inventory of immaculately-curated shelves which contain everything from vintage Chanel bomber jackets to pristine Polo luggage. The shop has been making a lot of noise over the past couple of years, most recently hosting a little #NWTS soirée for Drizzy and a pop-up shop collaboration with Champion brand.

In an effort to capture the spirit and sensibility of Tried & True's inventory, I opted to strictly pull tracks from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s. This is a 60-minute mix of throwback selections conceived during the same era as much of the gear on Tried & True's shelves.

Plastic Off The Sofa (Vibe Conductor Crank Jont)

"We're grown enough to finally acknowledging the awesomeness of pop. When it's good, it's timeless, but when it's super corny, it deserves all the hate it can get. Now, I just wanted to make sure that we'll still like the song of the summer by Labor Day via a little help from a pop music god, the always important sample, and some keyboard work too."
