I've spent a bit of time during lockdown going through my record collection and recording mixes and never being that satisfied with them. I think overthinking the process takes the spontaneous fun out of things. This time I decided to do this mix off the cuff and am pleased with the results. The tracklisting jumps all over the place starting with some deep and classy tech-house from the likes of Juan Atkins and the Primitive imprint. Then straight into some UKG and then back into the more techy stuff again before getting more and more intense. I'll shut up anyway and just let you listen. Tracklisting, as ever, below (sharing's caring).

AL 'OFF THE CUFF' MIX 30_05_20

A new one I did today. Picked the records out before and knew where I wanted it to go though so not spontaneous like the last one.  There's one massive clanger; pint for the first person to spot it.
