Listening to this mix will bring me back to WMC this year in spirit.

i can't tell you how many times i've listened to this since wednesday last week -- thanks for my wmc anthem sir ^.^

I have to admit I haven't even listened to a full mix in a while, but I decided to pop on the "cloud" today and saw your mix. I am very very pleased good sir, excellent track choice and mixing as usual. Puts me in a happy place during my work day. =]

It's that time of year again.  MIAMI.  Sun, fun, and the entire dance music industry descending upon South Florida for one massive week of parties and industry events.

This is my promotional mix for this year's Winter Music Conference / Miami Music Week.  I'm particularly happy with how this mix took shape.  I covered a broad range of tempos, moods, and artists who's sounds have been instrumental in defining my own.  I started this sonic journey at a deep and groovy 118 bpm, and it gains momentum throughout, peaking at 126bpm, taking us into some later-night tempos and energies, while being reflective of my range as an artist. I've also included a new remix of mine, with a forthcoming release on Wulfpack.  Some of these tracks are brand spanking new.  Some are not.  And some are straight-up classics.  All of them have no expiration date, as proper progressive dance music never goes out of style.  Turn this up loud and enjoy.  :)
