Welcome back! Another episode with another fire guest mix. This time by my good friend Keith aka DJ Axel Foley. I first met Keith way back in the myspace days.

I met Jesse a while back. I’m pretty sure it was through my homie Evilldewer. I’ve always admired this artwork and we started working together on some cover art for some projects (Jazz Is Everything, The Loops, etc). Jesse has always had a dope ear for records. From inheriting psych rock records from his father to digging for records for his own beat, Jesse has always been listening to dope, way out s**t. It shows in his artwork and shows in this mix. Brace yourself for a psychedelic trip...

I’ve wanted to do something like this for a while. This podcast is an extension of me and the people that inspire me. Don’t listen to this podcast and expect to hear rants, rumors or pointless rap debates about your top ten list or some other s**t like that. This is all about the music. JUST RECORDS! GOOD MUSIC!
