Here's a flood themed playlist I did when Lowell, MA suffered a flood earlier this year.

I put together the playlist by choosing songs from my personal collection that contained words or themes dealing with rivers, floods, rain, water, etc. I then used these songs to choose from when making my playlist. I always create my playlists on the spot, trying my best to create interesting and purposeful transitions. This particular playlist, with its limited selection of materials, is one I am proud of and that I think accomplished my goals as a DJ.
