AS ALWAYS THIS WAS MIXED THE OLD FASHIONED WAY - WITH TURNTABLES & VINYL!!!

This is a roughly 212 minute long mix of brand new releases from the Spring of 2012. However, as the trend has been for me the past few years, there is nothing "New" sounding or "Modern" as they say.

Smack dab in the middle of a time in music that spans the trendy copycat commercialism of "EDM" v. Disco Dubs, Edits and Reworks comes a very simple, perhaps "unfashionable" groove. There is no DubStep, no Bells & Whistles, not even a lick of new technology appears to be used to make any of these tracks. Almost every single one of these "brand new releases" are undeniably carbon copies of old school that never were, particularly in the deep dark Chicago styles of 1986-87. Those who require a driving beat may at first feel left out, turned away - but alas the energy is very much there - but requiring a trained or veteran ear, or at least an open mind to feel it.

I've been referring to this as "End of The World" because it has this haunting combination of post apocalyptic loneliness, infinite freedom and space, sadness and yet hope for a new beginning... not to mention the timing (2012)

This set is 100% ME - REAL UNDERGROUND MUSIC - REAL SOUL - that doesn't try to be popular or cater to trends, but is thoughtful, sometimes challenging. If you are charmed enough to try it, you WILL SURRENDER as the sound envelopes you and calls to you even after the music stops...

I fucking LOVE LOVE LOVE this mix - in all of its humbleness - and I have not been able to stop listening to it since its inception. Listen to it once. If you don't get it, listen again. Listen a third time. It's imperative to your own well being that you get in!
