In this instance, I dive into my 90s mix. Though I was born in the 2000s, I feel that my first formative years were surrounded by the remnants of such an impactful decade. Even in my 20s, I feel I have embraced that wave and what better way than capturing it through the records I've collected this past decade. Here I present my Fronterizo POP 90s mix, or atleast what I interpret as such."
