Here's a mix I did for Big Chill Radio that was played straight after the Bugz In The Attic live set. Recorded at Jose Carettas studio / Adela Street / W10. The first half of the mix contains some classic Bugz runnings including tracks from Blakai (Kaidi Taham, Mark Force and Bembe Segue)Inverse Cinematics, Domu, Neon Phusion and Bloodfire. The second half delves deeper into the crates with some older classics from the likes of Norman Conners, Raw Soul Express, Pleasure and Womack and Womack. ENJOY!
