These songs are ones I remember playing for my dear friend, Josh H. (R.I.P.). I played them as he taught me how to use his CDJ2000 in his apartment in downtown LA. Josh's kindness, always welcoming me into his home whenever I was in town, allowed us to spend quiet hours from 2 to 4 AM each Wednesday experimenting with tracks.
For years, after the club closed, his apartment was a sanctuary—a safe haven sparing me from Hollywood streets as I waited for the train to carry me home. His generosity, along with his brother's, lifted the weight of the city’s harshness off my shoulders during those moments.
Our bond flourished over music, curating setlists, setting up sound systems, and discovering tracks together each week. These songs are fragments from that cherished collection—memories of camaraderie, passion, and solace in the rhythm of the nights we shared. May his spirit remain in the echoes of music forever.
