Dedicated to: Hexxorba's drives — all of them.

I'm listening to this mix for the first time after a long, exciting, stressful, adventuresome, and reflective day of helping the family be well on a cool late-winter Tuesday.

The last time I can remember really getting into mixing was over 11 years ago, just before my first-born's arrival.

Last Xmas, family bestowed upon us a generous cash gift, with a directive to spend as we saw fit. I used part of it to buy a DJ controller, and chose one that leveraged as much as I could from my existing possessions.

Two months later, I felt comfortable enough to compose a mix from tracks I had been curating since that purchase.

You're listening to the first take. It has a few crunchy spots. Bear with me.

Enjoy the mix, and keep dancing!
