Composed for a friend's stag weekend in Ibiza.

Fun vocals and super positive housey love vibes.  Lots of Easily Led acapella action!

I didn't get to go along to the stag weekend due to tragic circumstances but this mix is a fitting celebration of dance music now dedicated to my older brother who left us that year. He made me my very first acid house compilation back in '89 and was the man who taught me how to mix two records.

Peace and Love.
