Magic, Not Tragic

this mix has been trapped in a bottle and finely aged for 12 years. upon opening the ears are enveloped by classic robot rock with hints of electro, techno, house, broken and breakbeats heavily blended for overall satisfaction and an uplifting finish.

Sideways Glances

this is how i do. heavy mixing various styles of electronic music on 3 turntables to create a continuous flow that seems organic in its movements, smooth in its transitions, groovy as hell with a healthy dose of inner space psychedelics and moments of sheer beauty. on a good day i can create a living entity out of music. this was a good day.
