A collection of mixes featuring my own take on the Balearic sound. Slo-mo music to make you happy x

The Balearic Breakdown Sessions

It's been a while hasn't it? Apologies, been busy setting up a new business www.discotees.co.uk - which has taken up most of my time.

So here is my first mix since February - Two-and-a-half hours of slightly more uptempo and chuggy tracks, with an eclectic twist. I had in mind the eclectics stage at Alfresco, which I'll be playing at on 27th August, so this will give a flavour of what it might be like.

Enjoy x
