The White Light MixesWhite Light 35 - DCUPWhite Light 35 - DCUP
“Loving all the White Light mixes, listened to them many times over. Its a mix series where dj’s can really dig into their crates and put down a set that wraps you up like a warm blanket. I tried to stray from the path a bit and let the beat drive my set, but still letting the tracks breath and bringing in those lush synth lines and harmonies. After seeing alot of the world in ’10, it was a pleasure to go back through my music and put this together with a fresh musical outlook.”
