2011 was one hell of a year for me. You might even say it was a banner year (I don’t really know what that means…but it sounds about right).

I connected with loved ones, music, and myself at levels I never even thought were possible. We’re talking BIG life changes, people. I’d go into more detail but I’d probably sound like an incoherent mess of hippie-ness.

One thing’s for sure though: 2011 is definitely a year I’ll look back on fondly for the rest of my life.

And since electronic dance music (and getting into DJing) was a huge part of what made my 2011 special, I thought, why not whip a mix together? A soundtrack for my memories, if you will?

So here it is. My first official mix. Performed and recorded live. 26 songs that each hold special meaning for me. A personal thank you to the moments and people who made this my “banner” year (I should probably google that, huh?).

And for those of you new to this music, consider this a good intro step to some of the biggest and best progressive house songs of 2011. My gift to you.
