Wasn't it beautiful, weren't we cool... Oh those days! We used to mix tapes for ourselves, our friends and... for the cutest girls whom we would impress with personalized tapes, full of music they didn't know yet. For hours we would lock ourselves in our rooms, alone with records, 12"-s, singles, a turntable and a tape-deck. A perfect mix of two times 45 minutes, and you will be remembered for ever!
Who does not remember the time 'auto reverse' was introduced? Wow! That was innovation! And innovation lasted: now we have Spotify! An online library with a wide range of artists and genres! And with the possibility to share it with your friends.
Strangelove (a creative advertising agency in Amsterdam) had the idea to ask music professionals to make a Mixed Tape - a playlist in Spotify. A very simple idea with a really nice result!
You need Spotify to listen to the tapes.
Two friends who met each other 3 years ago at a party and had a click immediately. They both share a passion for music and fun.
They combined those two passions and start dj-ing together. After their first gig they were hooked, because they were having fun and they could
play the music they love for their friends and crowd. Now 3 years later, they're still having fun and combine dj-ing with they're daytime jobs.
Sheila runs her own dj agency http://www.theagent.nl and Claire is working at Spice PR, the biggest PR agency in Amsterdam.
You can follow them on their own blog www.claire-sheilahill.com
These tunes are a mix of songs we both love. They bring back good memories. Gigs at festivals or clubs where the crowd lifts you up, party's abroad, but also us having fun and sing along while driving the car on to a next gig. Enjoy
Cool sounds for real people. Presented to you by The HQ Meet + Greet, an initiative organized by Strangelove for the cool, creative, weird, loving and entrepreneurial folks we know and don't know. Sharing ideas while having some fun… The Stranglove HQ Parties are sponsored by Heineken Star Bottles.

Talking about music is like dancing about architecture. -Martin Mull
It's very simple, a compilation of music we enjoy at this moment and have enjoyed for years, you can play it in one go and it fits together as a set and at the same time it doesn't at all. A nice C12 compilation.
Juicy Soul, R&B and Rootsmusic. These songs inspired them to write their debut album 'These Times'. Have some and let it take you away!
Write songs in a dusty old cellar...
Where creatives and like-minded meet each other for a drink or a dance... in the living-room of clubbing Amsterdam! The Night tape of Bitterzoet
From classic drummachines to the crystal clear mixing techniques in Sade... Naturally there's also some tunes to move your feet to while u dream of sunny festivals, dusty feet instead of muddy boots....
