"I try to be intentional with the kind of music I play—solid dance tracks that hit a positive chord in the subconscious mind. For me, the nervous system and the mental state are honestly the whole reason I got into music in the first place. So I’m always trying to find tracks that not only go well together but actually tell a story. Especially for this mix—it’s a showcase of the different styles I’ve been getting into." - Danger Foley
