When preparing this mix, I felt it was most appropriate to focus on the past. I grew up with Nick since the 4th grade, where we shared the same focus on music all the way through high school, trading the latest import CD’s and vinyl rips in homeroom. While I mostly focused on electronic and dance, we both shared a love for hip-hop. It’s awesome to know that he and I still are passionate for music and the scene.

At the time, while I mostly focused on all things electronic and dance, we both shared a love for hip-hop- and this mix does encompass a ‘ghetto-tech’ edge. Most of these songs also strongly indicate the reasons I started DJing and producing Drum’n'Bass for close to 7 years; The talkative, sinister, and ever-morphing basslines. The breaks and fills that provided a funk. The relentless energy. It’s all here, just 50 bpm slower. My mixing style frequently displays double drops, teases, the switching of bass- more evidence of my devoted love and respect for the genre…But onto the new…

After a year hiatus, it’s good to be back in the music world. Thanks to all my friends and family in New York, Boston, and Chicago for the continued support. Enjoy.
