Chocolate Grinder Mix 26
Get Techno Mouse In The Ambient Hutch, Quick
He’s had a gram of speed and two microdots. Reign it in, brother. You don’t want to be that guy wrapped in a blanket at the main stage at 6 AM. Try mixing in a little calm, a little atmospheric downtempo, maybe a bit of glitch, then head back to the dance floor for a while. You’ve got the whole weekend to party. Pace yourself. Or, you can let this mix do it for you [speed, microdots, and main stage not included].
