Okay, my laptop's starting to act up, so I'd better hurry up and save this blog entry before everything I just typed disappears.

I came across this at TokyoMango yesterday.
The less I try to explain, the more awesome this video remains.

random blogging:

In about 24 hours, I'll be on a plane to Georgia for a family reunion! I haven't been there since 1996 when my grandmother passed away... Now that I think about it, I don't think I've even been in another state in this country at all since that time (hanging abouts Reno for a couple hours back in 2000 doesn't count, haha). It'll be nice to see all of my relatives again, many of whom I haven't seen since I was a child.

Oh, man, there's quite a bit more that I want to blog about, but I have a ton of things to do before heading out tomorrow morning (including getting a bit of sleep and working a full night's shift at the hotel).

one more last random tidbit:

If any of you are anywhere from Monterey up to San Francisco this coming Friday (8/15), you all should check out this rave that's gonna be up in Santa Cruz called Love is the Law. My buddies Mick (Mick Khaos) and Joe (Giuseppe Paolo) will be spinning there, alongside a ton of other talented DJs.

You can find more info here at the event's MySpace page.
Support your local underground parties, y'all!

So yep! Although this isn't the first mix I've posted with trance (part 1 of the "Two Sides..." mix was pretty trancy for the first half of the disc), I just wanted to try something different this time (hence the mix title) and record a set full of trance tracks. I also want to use this mixset to let everyone know that I'm not strictly a breaks DJ.

I hope you all have as much fun rockin' out to this set as I did compiling & mixing it!
