No download links on this one for now (forgot that I left my podcast folks hanging) because I’d like to introduce everyone to a site that I think is really cool. Plus it gives me a little bandwidth break! ThePlayers.fm contacted me ages ago when they were just getting their site off the ground and asked me to upload something. I’m just now getting around to it. So if you didn’t catch it running on ProjectVIBE for the past month, check out my latest mix hosted by some cool UK fam.

It’s been a while…

This one has been sitting on ice because I wanted to tweak the transitions and selection a bit, which would essentially mean doing it over. Well, that was almost 3 months ago and I’ve reconciled myself to the fact that it isn’t going to happen. I tend to get a bit anal when I freestyle a mix instead of planning it out because I get hung up on how it could be better. There are a couple mixes in line behind #10 so I’ll stop obsessing for the sake of everyone’s iPods.
