I had the opportunity to catch an old friend play the rooftop patio of The Well this past Friday hosted by the wonderful and . I also got to hang with my old crew and that has a combined raving years' experience of at least 1,000. Haha.

Unfortunately, I got there later than anticipated in my quest to find free parking - which took me an additional twemty minutes!

Somehow I forgot to post this live DJ set I recorded last year from the annual Rekindling festival in my hometown of Kitchener, ON, Canada.

Breaks, progressive house, melodic techno, some unreleased productions from yours truly and a classic techno tune to finish it all off!
