lack of focus

another day, another repost……i’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot of the dchousegrooves mix back-catalog being surfaced here over the coming weeks until I can pull my finger out and get a new mix together. i’ve got my brand new zoom h2 handy recorder ready to go, but a business trip to the uk next week stands in the way. next weekend i will do a new mix. promise. got a stack of fantastic new records from dj-hut standing by and ready to go.

anyway, i digress. here’s another mix to keep things ticking over – lack of focus. this was done over 2 years ago, but many plays later i feel it has stood the test of time. particular highlights on this one are jori hulkonnen’s “the moment” (a true timeless classic) and alonzo savoy’s “life drifts”, although in calling them out i don’t want to downplay the rest.
