My good pals were putting together a birthday party at their beautiful house in the woods of Western Mass and asked me to put together a mix.  Though I don’t think this mix reflects how I would have dj’ed the party if I were mixing live it covers a lot of territory.  It is meant to be “dance-y” but it kind of goes off track a few times (on purpose!) though ultimately I’m happy with (I even ended with slow dances!) and is great for driving (maybe less so for partying?) Most tracks haven’t made it up here on the blog so I thought, even though it’s a little out of unusual, it was worth posting and gives you some new tracks to check out!

Hope you enjoy!
