For the upcoming San Francisco half marathon, running mix sixty opens with a love letter to the 90's San Francisco house scene: We used to dance.

We used to dance: Dubtribe (Muzique tropique's glasqow funk mi...

This may or may not have worked... let me know.  For the rest, I drew inspiration 90s and 00s for much of this one, deep cuts and remixes. I did surface to the present day with "I miss you" by Elypsis....

Happy 2021 everyone. I love to play the old progressive house from the deep in the record bins, but for mix 58, I wanted to feature some tracks that were produced and released in 2020...

And for those put on their masks, laced up your running shoes and to ventured ou...

I don't want to be hip and cool, I don't want to play by the rules. Why don't you call me? I feel like flying in two.
