2 The Groove × 01exethyl

Status: Currently working on some tracks that were laying on the MPC 2500 CF card, some old downtempo stuff that I'm revisiting, working on the mixing and a few mastering tests, sounding good so far. The reality is that I have tons of unreleased tracks, like 3 albums ready to go, I will find the moment to look on those too if time allows. 
Thanks for your support and being here listening to my tunes, I'm glad you guys are enjoying it.

Until the above project is finished, I will be posting some old tracks form the Red Folder, some direct recording acid tunes, perhaps also from other color folders, who knows...
