Happy Father’s Day

So, originally this was a Father’s Day gift.  It was kind of a rough mix at the time.  After I gave it to him, I straightened it out a bit. That was two years ago yesterday.

Looking back I have to wonder a little bit about what exactly I was thinking.  There’s an edge to the mix, a message, that really makes me sad. Music was one of the few ways I could ever really communicate with him.

I remember, just a few weeks after giving it to him, he asked me curiously about the craft of djing.  He actually listened to the mix! He actually listened to me!  His reply was a sincere “I get it.”

I’m still not exactly sure what there is to get though. I had no objective with the mix other than that it would be for my father.  Likewise, I don’t really know what to take from my father’s life. I’m pretty resentful, and perhaps also a little happy that he’s gone. Still, the short of it is that I miss him.

I know that doesn’t make a lot of sense, but I guess it doesn’t have to.

I hope you enjoy the tunes!
