QUOTES:
"When it comes to being recorded, I'm more at home mixing tracks than talking. But I like to challenge myself, so when Digitally Imported approached me to host DI Journeys, I agreed to have a long chat with them and create an exclusive mix for the show. In the interview, we talk about my journey through music and DJ-ing. Hopefully folks will enjoy the conversation and the hour-long mix of mostly newer tracks and artists that I've been digging lately. I kept this mix in the deeper, more listenable, afterhours vibe with a few tunes of my own. I appreciate this opportunity to speak to and play for Digitally Imported listeners."
