Sessions 12 - Luke Mele
“Fifth and Spring”

For Sessions 12, I tapped one of LA’s finest selectors, kindred spirit Luke Mele.
~
Luke delivers a 2.5+ hour marathon — a morning-time sipper that eases into an afternoon dance delight. It’s a lush journey through summertime spiritual jazz, fusion, soul, and disco, all pulled from crates at the iconic Last Bookstore in downtown LA.
~
Over the years, Luke has spent time digging at the shop, which he says holds a very special meaning to him. Hence the name of the mix: “Fifth and Spring.”
