My first DJ experiences were as a radio DJ on my college radio station back in 2007 - 2011, when my music taste ranged from more indie sounds, to HypeMachine remixes, to some of my earlier forays into dance music. Lately I've been trying to dig back deeper into my library and connect the dots between various influences.
For this mix that first aired on 9/25 for @KEXP's 'Midnight In a Perfect World' radio series, I tried embrace the radio format to mix some sounds from disparate eras of my musical progression, and to reminisce about my early days as a radio DJ.
