On any given Friday, Cool Your Jets Creative releases a new Fresh Friday. a hot and tasty vinyl mixtape with a custom cover. Tracks range from jazz to soul to hip-hop and beyond, with nearly every song ripped from original pressing vinyl, where each pop from the static patina tells a story of that record’s journey.

Mr. Magic

It’s Fresh Friday and the livin’ is easy. This week’s mix is like aloe on a crispy day, soothed by the cooling soul of The Twinkle Brothers, Bu Pleasant, Q-Tip, RAMP, Rasa, Chick Corea, Roberta Flack, and Meluken Melesse.
