Uncle Hank, I made you a mixed tape. Do not accidentally listen to side B, or you will fall in love.
OK, so a looong time ago, when the Freeform DJ Collective first started, I had an idea to make a Valentine’s Day Compilation. King Koopa, DJ Sweetie Pie and I got together and started working on it, but after a few hours we got drunk, went dancing at Gate 54, and I ended up sleeping in my bathroom. E-Rock also sent in a contribution from the UK, the project has since been put on hold because King Koopa moved to New York and DJ Sweetie Pie left Freeform DJs to focus on other projects.
The other day I was just fucking around and found some of my notes from then, so I threw some of the tracks together. The final mix, if we ever pick this project back up, will be much more cohesive and feature more tricks and will make you really fall in love. Consider this a “practice session”, as if to say: I like you, but I’m not in like with you. Yet!
If you’ve seen me play recent (at FUR, Sonar or Beyond) you probably heard parts of this mix already.

Once upon a time you offered to make a mix for everyone if they gave you names of artists they like. You totally have not yet done that for me. Boo!
