Fall in love to this mix by Toronto's sweetheart @karimolenash . We're excited Karim will be DJing our upcoming Papi Valentine 2 on 2/14/20 in Brooklyn, NY! Read our sweet Q&A below and enjoy this beautiful mix <3

PJ: Tell us about this mix & where you want it to take people
KOA: This mix was heavily inspired by the energy of romance on the dance floor. I wanted to translate the same feelings of butterflies and lust that you feel when you lock eyes with that someone at the club and you know it’s about to be a situation. In this mix you’ll find odes to some of my musical influences of classic house, disco, ballroom, club, rnb and techno. You’ll also see many of the producers I respect and love in this mix. This mix is for the dancers, the stompers who walk every sidewalk like it’s a runway and most of all, the lovers on the dance floor

PJ: What’s an ideal night out in Toronto look like?
KOA: Ooo.. and ideal night in toronto??? Anywhere with my friends tbh. They’re the best. I guess specifically... throwing a pep rally with @chippynonstop then after a cute AP to decompress and kiki

PJ: Who are you obsessed with on IG right now?
KOA: Always and forever obsessed with MY QUEEN, SERENA WILLIAMS.

PJ: You just landed in NYC for the weekend — what’s your first destination?
KOA: First stop to see my girl Hannah, second stop wherever I can get a cute cocktail.
