Every year on the weekend after Labor Day, many of my friends and I converge on Virginia Beach for the annual Blues on the Beach festival. We spend our days playing in the ocean and relaxing on a not-so-crowded beach, and we spend our nights dancing until the sun comes up. And every year, the day after the party ends, I take one last look at the ocean before I leave, and I can't help but think that another summer has slipped away from us…

This week's mix is dedicated to the passing of another summer. No matter when you listen to this, close your eyes and imagine an ocean in front of you, and a little bit of summer will be there with you.
