Every year I add to the Summer Nights series of mixes; originally it was a way for me to compile some of the quieter songs I'd been listening to without disturbing the flow of the regular mixes that I put out - those that tend to be a little more upbeat. Over time, I've come to listen to a lot of music in this style - maybe moreso than the upbeat stuff. It's possible that age just slows ya down or it's possible that the contemplative environment it breeds is just preferred to me personally.

As usual, I'm sure I'm overthinking it. Below is a collection of songs that set the scene for a quiet evening on a warm night with a drink in hand.

I put together a single mp3 mix of the undertaking if you're interested in that rather than the individual tracks.. cleaner in the iTunes and slightly less abrupt transitions between tracks.
