This mix probably means more to me then any other mix I ever recorded. It reflects when I first started playing vinyl. All of the time that I spent learning how to beatmatch, how to phrase songs, and how to mix effectively with the EQ. All of that time, effort, and work.
This mix is all progressive breaks effectively from 2003-5 This is when I graduated college, and this is when I got my first set of turntables as a graduation gift. Progressive House was in its waning years, but Nu-Skool Breaks and Progressive Breaks were excellent genres at the time.
I really took to that sound, so when I first started playing vinyl - these were the records I taught myself to play. I remember waiting weeks for these to arrive in the mail and the anticipation of playing them. This mix is based on the mp3s that I could obtain but I own a majority of this tracklist on vinyl.
There are some real classics in here from Hybrid, Fretwell to Habersham, Infusion, Phil K, Luke Chable and Greyarea to name a few.
Most of my mixes normally run about an hour - but when you are feeling it, you are feeling it. I may not play breaks anymore, but if need to I can still get my hands dirty.
