After deciding a few years ago to pull back from playing live shows, I've been on my own personal journey with music. Going deep into musical theory, learning to play an instrument properly and expanding my music collection to a size that massively out weights anything I had while I was Djing as my regular gig. Sourcing and experimenting with all music styles and trying to figure out a way to get them to work together musically has reignited my love of music and Djing and got me back to the roots of why I started to do it in the first place.

Chasing a music career is a double-edged sword. On one side, it gives so much and — on the other — weighs you down. As people tend to follow and love what you do, it can start to hamper you musically as the weight of expectation starts to mess with your head. Taking some time off has allowed me to focus on myself again, play music because I love it and not let anything else get in the way.

This mix is an embodiment of that process, and one that I thoroughly enjoyed doing. 

Hopefully, you can enjoy the journey as well.
