Friends, here we are at the end of yet another great year, and as our tradition continues, the Classics Edition of 2023 will bring you the first part of a two-part Mix Compilation Series with a bonus genre. Over the years I recorded many mix compilations, especially during my early years. It was a way of tracking my progress.

This year I'll bring you the first CDs of three mix double albums I mixed in mid-to-late 2000s.

The first one is Yellow Silhouette, recorded live in the summer of 2006 during a Sunday morning after-party.

The second one is Black & White, recorded during a very difficult time in my life. I questioned a lot of my own dreams after so many setbacks. I got behind the decks and compiled a Triple Album.

The final installment was the last one ever before the six-year hiatus. Above The Emotions was a bi-monthly residency night I hosted during the Spring, Summer, and Winter of 2009. This compilation was to celebrate those beautiful nights we shared with some of the most amazing, Trance lovers, New England people. We created lifelong friends during that year.

To close the 2023 edition, I will play an hour of Freestyle. I was introduced to this genre by accident. I bought a few CDs that had some tracks featured, and I liked them. I got deeper into it and discovered a huge rabbit hole in this genre. This was a very interesting time that stayed with me, so I decided to share some of my favorite Freestyle tunes.

Hope you enjoy the 2023 Classics Edition. Happy holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

Cheers,

YO
