A very comprehensive megamix of slow jams from the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s. If you dig Slow Jams and R&B from this period, you’re in for a treat. Just in time for that Hallmark holiday. I understand it made its rounds more than 10 years ago, but never knew.
Years ago at my friends’ wedding, the DJ played an edited version during their money dance. Many of us were wondering what it was. Another friend confirmed a longer version available, and I finally found it not too long ago.
A few words from DJ Opus on Mixcrate DJ Opus on Mixcloud:
A slow jam medley from back in the days when slow jams were love songs and the love songs were classic…
If you feel like they don’t make slow jams like they used to, then this one is for you…
I have no idea how or why many of you have the original short edit of this mix, but by the time I finally “officially” released it to the world I had almost doubled its content, I re-edited it for sound quality, and I resequenced all the beats…
I hope you all fall in love (again) with this one!
I took the liberty to make a complete tracklisting. (As I’m a bit of a stickler for these things: if anyone sees an error, please leave a comment. I’d appreciate it.) I noticed the Pinay and Asian artists, so I could only guess DJ Opus is a fellow Flip. Over 70 minutes, divided into two mixes.

Where can I get a copy of the edited mix from? Do you have a download link?
@Glen: Thanks for stopping by and for your comment. I know the edited version was on Tumblr at some point, but looks like it’s not there anymore. See what Google searches bring up, I think there were a few I’ve seen previously.
Here’s the link where you can listen to the whole mix:

Enjoy!
@Mae: Thanks for including a link. It’s a great mix. I appreciate your comment.
For everyone else, it looks like you can access a download at the link above.
Nice work! Any idea what song the 3 second verse @20:09 is from?
@Ace: Thanks for the comment. I wasn’t sure about that one. Maybe a reader could answer that?
The song at 20:09 is Intimate by Coming of Age… 👍🏽
No way! It’s @DJ Opus himself?! HUGE THANKS for the info!! I appreciate it (and I’m sure the others do too). I’ve updated the list. Keep up the awesome work!
I’ve had the MP3 of the edited version since early 2000’s and it’s still on my playlist. I didn’t know there was a longer version. I Need it for my long trips.
@aey619: Great to hear, and thanks for your comment! Yup, the extended/final version is pretty epic. If you didn’t see, the SoundCloud player above has a download button.
Thanks all… because of DJ Wysiwyg’s track list I was easily able to create a playlist on YouTube!!! All 110 videos (there are intentional duplicates to follow the actual mix) but I named the playlist “Playlist inspired by DJ Opus’ Heartbeats Slow Jam Mix”
Check out this playlist on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXXec5Rt0xj4QQwVx_Q4tl48G16YAuMGf
@Foami1kenobi: Thanks for stopping in and for your message! Nice job on the YouTube playlist, check up on it periodically for videos that are removed. Appreciate the mention and info! I’ll have to edit the playlist here in a bit.
Also found another track missing… at 47:44 “Slow Love” by Doc Box & B-Fresh
Also correction to 1:04:03… I had a hard time finding it with the title of “Desire” by S1… I found it much easier by using “Destiny’s Desire” by As One
Hi!! Absolutely LOVE this mix and I have been trying to find it for YEARS! Thank you for putting a complete song list together! Anyway, was wondering if you could change the artist for the song at 44:13 to Forte and Glenn Medeiros? I know it’s just a small thing, but it’s helpful. Thank you!
@Gabby A great mix, cool to hear your input… thanks for pointing out the difference. Didn’t know it was him!
