as you all know by now, all of my mixes are produced, not ‘dj’ed’. i enjoy editing more than anything. anyways, there are a ton of edits in this mix, down to the millisecond. timing of tracks are made to be perfect, things are arranged and rearranged, and almost every transition you hear is a balance of about 3-4 tracks simultaneously playing at once. this is something i spend hours on.

i went for very much of a latin sound here with this mix. lots of brazilian influence in the first portion, then into the ‘tribal’/drums kind of stuff. yes, there are a few dj chus tracks on here, i’ve been on somewhat of a chus & ceballos kick lately. some of these tracks i played on my recent gig in ibiza, and they worked well with the other tracks i have come to enjoy.

the very last track in the mix is my original production called “Born to Be”, sort of a remix of an old disco track, inspired by Mark Knight’s “Devil Walking”. Hope you like it….because it’s not a final edit of the track. – ed

p.s. if you dont like it. too F’ing bad.

this is a compilation of several of my first original productions. overall this has taken me hours and hours of work, learning new things as i go, and collaborating with long time friend and talented musician Dan Grashof (Seance and Exorcism).

our work has gotten lots of positive feedback from friends and even my track Take That Drum, a ‘homage’ to ‘Take That Sax’ has gotten a nod directly from original dj/producer Mark Mendes as “sounds sick ”

i feel this compilation is a start to a true definition of my musical and production interests. i love the dark minimalism but i also love to see the light shine through every now and then with some flourishing progressive (which Dan and i will be exploring for future projects). please enjoy the mix and leave me any feed back.
