Nothing can add more to the ambiance of a Halloween party than some spooky music. I put together a mix of tunes with death as a theme, and found some fun oldies too.
Our first mix is an eerie, yet upbeat set of tunes that cover the topic of life and death—in the most thoughtful way—mixing rock and more moody stuff. Also, one playlist from Mixcloud [DJ All That Jazz, Leeds] featuring old, classic jazz tunes to add a bit of whimsy to the gathering.
