I like to work with music which is not purely "one style" because it allows me to play around with genres of all sorts and create my own brand of "Lounge".
A mix is only as good as the music you use to make it with.I therefore do a lot of research and choose my tracks carefully before I decide I got what I need to work with.
A lot of what I do is perhaps not for the next guy's ears...but that depends on the taste of the listener.I don't do this for "the masses".I do it for the freaks out there who have a unique relationship with music and an unorthodox lifestyle...something I can relate to...
