This one is heavy! Thanx B
I love your stuff - a friend introduced me to your podcast now I am hooked...patiently anticipating for more!
Very nice Tate. Zen sounding hot, as is C4. Bit more energy though, let's hear the Sensai get live. 20/20 back this weekend, I'm on my NY shit.
Thanks all for listening. Appreciate the feedback. Will see how I can incorporate. Episode 15 is coming really soon watch out!
I'm stealing Illuminate's track for this week's 20/20 with Naturelle. Shit is fire. Watch for that.
Yeah Rob feel free to give me a shout out for that! I'll email you the actual track, unless you want the DJ Click & Drag effects on there.
