***UPDATED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE*** In the 7th archive, Bass is the name of the Game. In the 3rd archive, my fallen brother DJ Chronic provided us with an angle he never tried before, progressive breaks. He was so proud of that mix and the emotional attachment can be clearly heard throughout the mix. He told me on many occasions it was his favorite he ever did and thanked me for pushing him outside his comfort zone. Anyone that knows Scott knows he like his comfort zone. Retrospect 007 is dedicated to the many hours conversing with Scott about 1 subject; BASS!!! So my brother this one is for you. I hope they like it, brother. I followed where the bass lead me. I am Efocus and this is Retrospect 007 Dirty Bass.

I hope this mix helps center you amidst all this chaos surrounding us. It's a life-changing event that will not be forgotten any time soon. Step away from it all and come with me on this 2hr journey through the wonderful calming sounds of Progressive Breaks. TRACKLIST: 1. Guy J – Lamur (Ozgur Ozkan Breaks Edit) 2.

This was a very special mix for many reasons, some you will discover for yourself, but for me just being blessed to vibe with Bea aka Navitas. What an absolute gem to work with. We chose to keep our mixes secret from each other until it was time to put it all together. What a surprise that turned out to be, it showed both of us that shedding another passing year and welcoming a new one can be an almost telepathic conversation among friends when expressed through music. With this being her first EVER official release I couldn't be happier for her and grateful she chose Retrospect. Really enlightening and fulfilling project. Navitas making her mission clear - "Focused on the feeling she is sharing with those through music, and inspiring others to shine their light too. Passion & Love = 2 of the forces this budding artist ignites as she blossoms before us. Her magnetic performance draws you close. Moving bodies to the rhythmic flow. Energy "get up and go"!

For the folks that could not catch my set at The Gemini Party D-Xtreme Tribute @ Ace Cafe, here you go. Derek and I both loved the sounds of funk, I have always been drawn to the funk sounds incorporated into breaks and other dance music. You will often find these sounds within music I choose for my mixes. He always said not alot of DJs play that and supported my desire to be a little different and play what I feel. So please enjoy this short but sweet journey into some straight up funk delivering plenty of bass. If you were not able to attend this tribute event, it was absolutely phenomenal. The vibe was extraordinary and the production was top notch, I'm so blessed to have been an integral part of such an amazing event to celebrate the life of a dear friend and Legend in music. I certainly look forward to next year, and other events to come. Keep on the look out because they will be coming. I Bring You Art From the Heart, Inspiration and Imagination. I Am Efocus

Only the finest mixes are chosen for this series so you are assured an immersive time traveling experience into the heart and soul of the artist with every mix archived. I love Drum & Bass. When creating this mix I had been filled with a rollercoaster of emotions. Like all of my mixes, I want to tell a story people can connect with. Because we are all human with similar emotions. I hope to present you with art you can not only vibe, dance, and connect with, but also relate to. Whatever draws you to the music I hope you can find your relief and express yourself how the music moves you. I find within all genres of music I am able to connect with a vibe that moves me and sharing that connection with you is what I believe to be my soul's purpose in music. Please enjoy this spiritual, emotional, and deeply expressive journey with what I choose to call "Liquid Funk DnB". Keep coming back for more, There is so much more to come.

As a Mentor, Big Brother, and Best Friend Derek Steplight aka DJ D-Xtreme brought so much to my life and countless others. His Legacy is and will remain timeless. As an artist, he was one of a kind, as a friend he was also one of a kind. He was Xtreme in every sense of the word. Not someone you could easily forget. I reflect daily on the many strong words of advice he shared with me and the many wild ass times we had together. I miss him more as the days go by, as I am sure many others share this sentiment. Thank you, Derek, for the time and energy you gave me. You always said time was valuable because you never get that back. That could never be truer than it is now, so I am grateful for the time we had. Derek loved House Music with Sasha being his favorite DJ and an inspiration to his own sound. While I was geared more to Breaks he often coerced me to give House a try and I just was not interested. So on your behalf my friend I dove in just like you taught me and this mix was the result. Fair to say I had an extraordinary sensei, not only did I put my entire heart and soul into this one, I enjoyed it and am really happy with the result. So much so that I will definitely be playing more of it. You were right, as you were about many things. Please enjoy this mix to your heart's content as you will feel your connection with Derek throughout this mix.

This series came to me during a very challenging time, recovering from a brain injury. I suffered unbearable pain, lost my taste, sense of smell, and lost 40% of my hearing, which as a DJ was terrifying. I had a lot of issues with memory and always very confused. Typing and texting remained intact which made it easier to not worry a lot of people while I recovered. Music also remained intact, it is bizarre, to say the least, that I have difficulties with basic household activity like eating, bathing, etc. Yet I can somehow type this description, create a mix series, and put a heartfelt mix together to kick it off 30 days after my injury, yes at the time of this writing I am still recovering, (8/12/2018) 10:37 pm. While I was laid up all I did was listen to music, but the soulful music of the 90s was most pleasing to my hurting brain. I believe it healed me, it certainly cultivated a new perspective on life and in music. The First mix 001 was what carried me through the emotional pain one endures through a traumatic event...as a very open window to my heart and soul, it felt wrong not to share this with others that may heal, enjoy, or experience the music for their first time.
