I set out to do a mix that represents my past, present and future - the records that have inspired me, records i grew up listening to, some of my favourite tracks ive made, brand new music from me and of course the music I play in clubs and producers that rock my world at the moment.

It's a tricky one to balance to make it a coherent journey across the 2 hours. Luckily, I think I've nailed it and am really proud of this musical journey through my brain. It takes in disco, synth funk, techno, indie, big beat, electro, house music and a whole lot more. Lots of exclusives and lots of special edits and mashups made for the mix. Expect the unexpected. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as i did making it. Let me know what you think here on the dance blog.
