About the mix:
I approached this mix like no other…typically I will make a mixtape for people to bump in their car, or as a promo tool to give a sample of what you can expect from me as a DJ at a club. Most people in the electronic music scene have known me to be a house DJ only. But, in the past 1.5 years I have opened myself up to many different genres, including top 40, hip-hop, indy-dance, and dubstep. I used to be a big music snob – not anymore!
In this mixtape, I intended to cross several genres of electronic music and hip-hop, without making the flow seem weird. I wasn’t focused on what would make the dancefloor move, or what the music would create for someone driving in their car. This time, I imagined people listening to the mixtape at work, on the computer. While reviewing the mixtape for quality of flow late nite last week, I found myself dancing uncontrollably, thinking beautiful thoughts. Wow, how I love music.
If you know house music, you’ll recognize some heavy hitting classics from the 90′s. This was the golden era of house…at least for now.

Crisp air the sounds of summer’s last hurrah. We’re simultaneously giving up and celebrating winter’s arrival. I’ve been lucky to find myself in the company of so many talented people. Here is where dreams are thunder and life barrels down the tracks, subway style.
This year it feels smaller more intimate, more visceral. Maybe it’s the friends I’ve made or the personal triumpths of the past year that have made the difference. No matter how I look at it, it’s exciting. Bring on the music.
