Only Love has been a labor of love. The project had no corporate funding and we’re giving it away for free. We created it because we felt it should exist and you should have it.

Our ability to create and fund projects like this depends entirely on your support. We hope it inspires you the way Coldcut’s Journeys by DJ, DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing and the movie Scratch inspired us. If you appreciate it, help us support the future of DJing.

On behalf of The DJ Hookup & SLEEPER, thanks and enjoy![/alert]

About Only Love

 
2016 has been tough.

We lost Phife, Bowie & Prince.
