April Mix

I had made a New Years resolution to make one new mix a month.  I'm still on track! Just because I don't post those mixes until a month or more later doesn't mean I've broken my resolution.

March Mix: A Decade of Dick at the Castle

A couple of months ago I celebrated DJing 10 years at the Castle.  As a way to commemorate the event, I decided to make a mix that represents the music that I've played there over the year.  As I started making a list of candidate songs, I quickly realized how daunting a task that was.  Nevertheless, I managed to make squeeze a decades' worth of my DJ life onto one CD.
