this series was started for Samantha Wagar per her request for tunes to listen to. whether or not she listens to it anymore, i like the name for the series and will continue it. I guess i can thank her for the inspiration to start it and thank everyone else for their support and encouragement to keep it going... 

Swaggar Series

I started the 'Swaggar' series close to mid-2013 per request of a good friend, Samantha Wagar, hence the title. It started off as just a recording of music that I own ,for you, or anyone, to listen to and hopefully enjoy. It has been a fun creative outlet for me. I started uploading them to google drive in the beginning, but it's about time I relieve everyone of that nonsense and make it easier for people by posting it here.

Swaggar #06 - "The Big Apple, where you become your own -wood" - bilaliwood

the opening song is for zoe...since she loved it so much when she heard it...

you may find her or her love toxic.. its not for everyone. and its not easy to navigate. but, for me at least.. its worth it <for now>. 
everything can change. and i am ok with change. or im learning to be ok with it.

anyway, as she would say.... no techno. you can leave cuz u wont find any techno here. 
i say...i do what i want. and u will find techno here. along with whatever other generic dance music i play.
...and so...her and i establish trust and boundaries. and thats why i have never really had any issues with her.  this is my experience. dont compare yours to mine. just do better for yourself.


recorded in mid August 2024

swaggar #43 - "When Zoe Said U Got Really Good...Like Even Better Than Before" - bilaliwood
