Finally!

At long last, after quite a few requests, here's the follow-up to my 1st mix for House Dance Forever, which i did back in January 2018, over the years re-titled to "HOUSE MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE", from here-on shortened to HMWND.

This 2nd installment harbours 15 jammies; ranging from Garage to Techno to Afro House to Deeper Cuts to Gospel, as House Music embodies so many different styles and/or feelings, it would be a waste to stay in one pocket. 

Here's a good moment for a tiny disclaimer: this isn't your proper background house music, as I felt like incorporating a few tracks I tore up some dance floors with over the years (and myself too in the process), so at certain points the stuff goes. At least you're warned ;).

Lastly, but surely not least: this mix is dedicated to the memory of Phil Asher, who sadly left this planet in January 2021, and since The Great Reset was in full effect at the time, I never got around to do a proper tribute to the good man.  The two gems "Revolution = Solution" & the remix to Lisa Shaw's "Always" are done by him, the latter as a member of the Restless Soul collective. Phlash Forever!
