DJ mixes by Christopher GallagherChris Gallagher - The OG “Chris Rocks” Tape - Live @ SIMONS - Winter 1991Thanks to the conservation, curation, and contribution of the original "OG" cassette recording of this particular evening by my close friends from back in the day, brother and sister Justin and Debbie Deleo, I present to you what very well may pre-date the just released "March 29, 1991" mix from Simons.

"This mix embodies what I was all about when I first started to learn the art...2023-03-211h 46
