When working on this mix the image of a girl in sunglasses and a big gaudy hat (like this: http://bit.ly/njcrSf) drinking lemonade kept popping in my head almost every time I worked on it...Perhaps the really nice San Francisco weather we're having (and our bizarre fashion sense) influenced my track selection and visual associations. The first few tracks of this mix open with a very very delicate, breezy, and sunny feel...the flute sounds at 11:34 [Marvin Zeyss - Hannah] are one of my favorite parts. The mid section of the mix gets just slightly trippy with reverberated sounds still floating along with a little more drive. It rounds itself out with a housey-influenced sound - a sound I don't explore that much...overbearing housey high-hats can get on my nerves. However, the prominent organ sounds complemented by round beautiful bass on the last few tracks (like Roberto Rodriguez - I Keep Thinking of You @ 38:00) fit nicely into my vision of sitting outside on a summer afternoon drinking a cold sugary lemonade.
