Mama said knock you out with bass

Recorded this mix live while looking at a beautiful Philly sunset over the city... reflecting on the bittersweet Frankie Knuckles Def Mix memorial and the (Paradise) Garage Block Party Tribute that I had recently attended.

It was made and played first on my man DJ Zo's show - Montreal's MetissageMtl HouseMusic RadioShow on 101.5 FM and www.cibl1015.com worldwide!

All of the music is from 2013-14. Some of the music is original production and some are remixes from some of my talented music colleagues:  Sandy Rivera, Josh Milan, Terry Hunter, Mark Di Meo, Colonel Abrams, Jask, Frankie Knuckles, and Dave Lee... thanks for the great music guys!!  ... for the rest of you music lovers/dancers:  BUY THEIR MUSIC!!
