Arguably one of the Pacific Northwest's most enigmatic and charismatic artists, Tilson XOXO has carved a singular lane within Seattle's music community with his leading role in party-starting Seattle trio The Saturday Knights and more recently emerging with new solo material that defies easy categorization. For his exclusive Midnight in a Perfect World guest DJ mix, Tilson pieced together a special Valentine's Day set dedicated to all the lovers in the world that blends together new and old soul favorites alongside some rare edits done by Seattle's own DJ DV-One. The mix also kicks off with one of Tilson XOXO's brand new solo songs that showcases his latest unique and exciting sonic direction.
