Here is a live mix from Inner Eye Ecstatic Dance 5.5.22 

As a DJ the dancefloor feeds us and Ecstatic Dances are some of my favorite journeys since we move through multiple genres and BPM's. I love to see the bodies moving in all the ways while we transition between movements, moments emotions and tempos following the common thread that ties us all together... MUSIC

KICKIN IT

KICKIN IT (Dubstramental Mix) - TAKIMBA & MAXWELL CUTTY

Thanks for listening. Please share, comment and/or repost if youre feelin it. Fort Knox Five has had a huge influence on my sound and The Melting Pot Radio Show for years. 

Ive been a huge fan for years and decided to open up the vaults. What came out was 55 cuts mixed, looped and blended into a mix that is just under 3 hours done in one take. This was made as a tribute while he was alive and has turned into to a memorial mix.

These are some of my favorite Originals, Remixes, Rarities, Mashups and more. It starts with the 1st FK5 track i had ever heard and grabbed me immediately the last song happens to be the latest Ive heard. Hopefully it will encourage you to search through their catalog and get to know some of their friends a bit better. Big Love to Andy and the Fort Knox Crew for that consistent sound quality throughout the years.
