2023 has been a hard year, seemingly for a lot of us and for a lot of different reasons. As always, music has found ways to hold me down (and sometimes keep me up), and I'm always appreciative for that. 

2024 is going to be the year of more, so you'll be seeing a lot more mixes on here. I'm back. Figured I'd start with some of my favorite records that I liked listening to and that I liked playing in sets from the last 365 days. It's not all of them, but it's a solid amount. Mostly records you can find on streaming with a couple edits, I hope you dig it and maybe I could put you on.
