For me, this mix is a trip back to Chicago in 1993. The Bulls had just completed their first three-peat, the soundtrack of the city was coming through WGCI, Power 92, and WBMX, and weekends meant backyard cookouts, basketball, cruising with the windows down, or a night at Club Riviera.
This isn't a "greatest hits" mix. It's a collection of the records that made that summer feel like...summer. The songs that had your head nodding before you realized what was playing. The ones you forgot you knew every word to.
So grab a plate, find a lawn chair, turn it up, and let the memories do the rest.
