it was very late on a friday night when i started on this mix and i having a good old time with mary jane. i hadn’t seen her around in awhile but she always help with the music processing. it ended being a lot more quiet than i had intented and i made it much too quick considering it only took me about an hour to nail down the first draft. after listening to it at home on the big stereo, i felt like it was a nice mix because there were enough moments that i didn’t […]
