currently working on a track thats heavily inspired by a type of early 2000's techno that is heavily dependent on swing and percussive elements like bongos and congas.
i think the bass here really carries it

It's been 11 years since I heard this mix, & I still ain't found out the identity of the song at 36:22.

It's eaten at me for more than a decade... 😭😭😭

Mix I did at an open deck night in the next state over. It's just a replicated & extended version made to be an hour long since the original was just 30 minutes. Please enjoy! We got bass, breakbeats, & electro! :D
