Love is always on my mind for the month of February. I have always had a love/hate relationship with Valentine's Day and I think that's apparent in this mix. Sometimes love isn't always sunshine and rainbows, but then again, sometimes it is.
I present to you, the first Sea Beat mix: VIVA LA VALENTINES!
