"Ears Wide Open" is the mix series I'm starting where it is all about the composition of the mix and the music, first and foremost. I will try to select and share the tracks that might be not that widely known, new or old, and make sure they reach the ears of the listeners. For the first mix I chose a little slower tempo to start it off, but decided to hold that pace throughout the mix.

Tracklist: 

Processory / Trickle Down
Robag Wruhme / Ende
Isolee / Celeste
Zeadron / When I Fall / Savile's Fall In Dub
The Legendary 1979 Orchestra / Body Rock / MannMadeMusic Remix
