I actually posted this mix earlier in the "Latest Tracklist" thread; I was a little unsure about it, but thanks to some elfreak encouragement, here it is.
It's a live recording from a house party I played to fellow law students, and I'll be the first to admit it is pretty sloppy and kinda cheesy from time to time. Oh well...
Like usual, I made up a little cover/tracklist graphic to make myself feel semi-pro.

i listened to this in the car the other day and i enjoyed it. There were a few sloppy moments for sure, but it did not detract too much from the listening experience.
I found myself enjoying the phonique to bingo bongo sluts segment the most
Thought this was pretty groovy. I did notice a couple of awkward transitions and is it just me or the quality wasn't that high? But I liked it, I was definitely tapping my foot and then some. That Ernesto Ferreyra track is great, and I like the EP's other side, Caleza, even better. In fact expect it in my next mix

Ya this was getting recorded straight into a laptop, and in retrospect it sounds really muddy. I'm not sure if it was the cable, the software, the sound card or something else (I think you can hear a pretty loud ground hum at times, so maybe it was the power even?). That gives me an excuse to upgrade some components at least...
