Dinner in your own home is a complexly different experience than dinner out at a restaurant. I personally prefer to share food with people I love from the quiet comfort of my home. You don’t have to worry about crowds, broaching sensitive topics in a room full of strangers or splitting the bill. Set the mood for your next dinner party with this soundtrack.

This mix keeps the atmosphere fresh, weaving between r&b, house, pop and downtempo electronica. There are festive parts, introverted parts and everything in between, but it’s all comfortable to talk over. Better known tracks are sprinkled in to give non-music-nerd guests something to relate to. At 2 hours in length, you can throw it on while you’re still cooking and have it still playing by the time you finish dessert.
