Vampires are demon lovers - courtly but toxic beaux, your dreamiest, most dangerous blind date. That's been the movie norm, from the Bela Lugosi Dracula in 1931 to today's Twilight saga.

...This is because the track listings for these mixes are available online.Justice’s Essential Mix is an uninterrupted two-hour set in which the group weaves and patches together over 70 different songs from slightly fewer artists. You don’t have to know who Vamp, Tepr, Chromeo, or Goose are to connect to the mix. Hell, you don’t even need to know who Justice are to have a good time. This is owing to the fact that the best mixes are exceptional because they take already wonderful material as their foundation...
