BLACKBALL

on with the series, this time fusing contemporary sounds with classics and some odd numbers..the challenge of this project is to give me the opportunity to dig my crates and mix alongside like minded people, without necessarily knowing what specific beatz they carry and so on...that was always the game for me, no preparation, no orders, all in one take, simply mix n match on the spot... and the
