This event last year was one of my favourite parties of the year. So for this podcast I decided to share the first 2 1/2 hours of my set. It's rare for me to have the opportunity to open and close a room. I believe this set was 6am to noon last year. So this starts at 6am and builds the way I believe it should be done. Slow and steady, building tension and teasing excitement. Hope you enjoy this throwback to last Winter Party and hope to see you on the dance floor in March!

This full- fledged flexing of technology allows him to create an unrelenting dance-floor experience that is unrivalled in terms of intensity, creativity, and fluidity.
