Starlight Thursdays Episode 274, DJ Philly Fresh is back with another fire mix UKG style. “Garage music is one of my favorite genres to spin. It's just a delightful sandbox for Djs. There aren't that many other genres where the music is so ripe for opportunities to do lots of fun tricks but still complex enough to stand alone. Some genres feel either more like the canvas or the painting. UKG feels...

Starlight Thursdays Episode 268 welcome Dj Philly Fresh to the show! We did a little interview to get a look behind the scenes. Why did you get into DJing?
