As I was pulling together some songs for this Ecstatic Dance set I realized it has been 22 years since I first started to collect vinyl and DJ. 
So in celebration of this journey I decided to dip back into some classic artists and tunes that have inspired be over the decades. 
...As well as sprinkling in some freshness, a few cheeky mashups, and a few of my own too, of course. 
Enjoy!
