THE END
well, its march… 2011, the project is well over.

hope you enjoy listening as much as i...

SEPTEMBER MIX: 09
this was a fun one… i found an old mix tape that i made when i was 15 years old (cassette, maxell XL II-S 100 bitch!). pretty much used the same track list, with a couple of late add-ons. not to sound like a geezer, but there was “something” really special about early 90s hip hop, that is just lacking now-a-days. in particular, o.c.’s track still resonates with me, go...

FEBRUARY: MIX 02
mix no. 2!!!! the standout for me; the amazing (at exactly 3mins in, when the drums kick in and the bass… gorgeous). the panda bear track has a little blip in it, but, its just how the song is, can’t find a cleaner copy. hope you find some stuff on here that you like.
