Worldwide Breakfast: Valentine Comar w/ DJ Tara (guest mix)

Valentine Comar continues her “Breakfast in…” series, where she invites DJs and collectors from around the world to curate a guest mix under the breakfast theme, exploring the sounds, places, and moods that shape our mornings.

For the first hour, she pays tribute to the legend D’Angelo, setting a warm and reverent tone before passing the baton to DJ Tara, whose soulful “Breakfast in Bed (With U)” mix offers a much-needed dose of comfort on a sad day like today. It’s an intimate and tender selection that leans into the lingering quiet of morning hours shared with someone close: “I’m not a morning person, but mornings with a partner can be so intimate and sweet.”

Brooklyn-born and deeply rooted in the city’s dance music scene, Tara’s intention is to amplify artists and uplift the crowds that move with her across NYC dance floors. Her DJ sets are a collage of soulful sounds that acknowledge the past, celebrate the now, and look to the future. On air, she hosts misc. on The Lot Radio in Brooklyn and UpBeat on Soho Radio in London, blending music across eras, genres, and continents, from the familiar to the unexpected.
