Take us through this mix/set
I haven’t done a mix by myself for awhile, generally it’s digital rockits live mixes that get distributed around…so i thought i would just sit down and do it, and that was 4 months ago…For me to sit down and do a mix takes alot of thought, i have to have an idea of a direction, and with my library being quite diverse i dont always know how to get from one style to the other..but here i decided to just do it and last sat i sat down and three hours went passed ..
