We are happy to have 333 back with us this week. He always puts his heart and soul in to everythin g that he does and we love when he sends us stuff for us to share with you! Here is a little something he wrote up about the mix: "I started work on this mix almost a year ago in preparation for a boat party my dear friend Jonathan Melvin from the Rhythm Alliance crew was hosting in Portland, Maine - one of my favorite places in the world to play. Unfortunately Jonathan suffered a tragic loss in his family and the party did not happen. I kept trying throughout the winter to finish it up but for whatever reason could not get it to a point where I was happy with it so I left it alone for a little while. As Spring arrived and the music I was buying brightened up I was finally able to put the finishing touches on it. It definitely has a summer vibe to it but still has that sharp edge that I always look for. The mix transitions back and forth between techno, progressive, house and deep house without ever really settling on one genre and is maybe a reflection of the diversity I see and embrace in the world as well as the range of emotions I felt regarding the gig and my friends’ loss. I would like to dedicate this mix to Jonathan and his family as well as all my brothers and sisters in the Rhythm Alliance and the scene at large. The mix was recorded late one night in May in St. George Studios (my basement in Staten Island) and was mastered by my brother from another mother Joe Flores (aka DJ Joeski) at Maya Studios in Queens, NY.
