What went into making this mix? What was your inspiration? 

This mix was inspired by a recent set in Mexico City where we did a JACK DEPT party in collaboration with the EXT. crew there. 
The energy was very good and the last track I played at the very end of the night was the same one I close out this mix with. There is also a track in here from Hoshina Anniversary out of Tokyo that is coming out on JACK DEPT and some other tunes I am feeling at the moment. 

What is new on the horizon?

I am looking forward to playing Signal > Noise and then heading later this month to Europe for some dates, including my Lisbon debut. We are going to be releasing a new EP from my project B-Tracks with Soren Jahan, and also a new EP With Will Martin is in the pipeline. Looking forward to the next release on JACK DEPT from AAAA & Tin Man as well.
