2025 marks ten years of Love International, the legendary festival taking place in paradisiacal Tisno, Croatia. You get a sense of things here. There are a ton of mixes in the TP archive worth taking in as well. I've never made it but it looks absolutely brilliant & mad year after year.
For the last seven years, Love International Recordings have issued a compilation to set the vibe. The tracklists are an eclectic blend - uncut gems, $1 bangers, futurism, guilty pleasures. Past selectors have included Gatto Fritto, Beautiful Swimmers, Shanti Celeste.
Moxie started out on KISS FM and has been an NTS radio stalwart since the station's inception fourteen (!) years ago. Her Wednesday slot, coming on just as we get into the workday on the USA west coast is an essential listen week after week. Whether it's her impeccable taste in UK garage or dub, promoting up & comers like NIKS and so many other brilliant guests it's an essential humpday vibe. Not only that but she's got one of those rare brilliant radio voices and is in demand as a voice actor as well.
Love International 007 finds Moxie putting her spin on the euphoric Adriatic sound. First order of business is a big up for putting Helen Sharpe's legendary Strobe Records street soul/house banger back on vinyl--doesn't get much sweeter than that. Aquatic vibes courtesy of AOTN/East Coast Love Affair. Len Lewis's techy Aughts channeling "Vogue". Dub vibes from Karizma and Glyn "Bigga" Bush. Rare 90s garage house. Everything you'd expect and more.
The Sound of Love International 007 is out now on digi and 2xLP via Bandcamp.
