This track from meginning to end is epic ! Do more 

Recorded live at Spybar Chicago - 04Oct2019
[supporting set for Dosem]

It was truly a pleasure to share the lineup with the mighty Dosem.  Most impressively, he has such a dynamic range in his sounds and productions, spanning from deep to house to tech to progressive, this guy can really do it all.  It felt really great for me to be able to cover a bit of ground myself, continue building the room and get some great reactions on so many of these selections I played (including a couple of Vested Recordings tracks).  We mic'd the room that night too, for added bonus, and you can hear some parts where people were really connecting with what was being played.

Thank you all who were part of this start-to-finish stellar night of music.  Those of you where there can press play and relive a bit of this great night again.  If you weren't there, here's what you missed.
Press play and crank it up.  

As always, if you're feeling this, please hit me with a Like / Favorite / Repost / Share / Comment, or all of the above!
Cheers, and thank you all for dancing with me.
