It started out as a mix for listening to while riding the subway in New York. A mix of old school electro, hip-hop, electronic, instrumental, and soundtrack music with a focus on longer durations, and flashes of light. Then I moved to Vancouver, and left the world of tunnels for the world of highways. That's when I started to rethink the mix.
When you are on the subway you listen to music to escape into your own world. When you are in a car you listen to music to escape into the world around you. (see: Simplification) It's a perfect storm situation of a two-sides-of-the-same-coin type thing, and I think this mix reflects that.
