N 30 #8

Just came back from our showcases in Shanghai and Beijing, and I am feeling super invigorated. Being able to converse in Mandarin with Howie Lee and the Do Hits! crew certainly brought us closer together, and we are currently planning a quarterly residency with them in Beijing - Keep an eye out for that, but in the meantime, soak up the latest IN 30. Slightly rough around the edges in certain segments, but hey there's the beauty of improvisation. I hope you enjoy the selections nonetheless.
