Sadly gone are the days of a DJ mix being cherished as a coveted artifact, a bold artistic statement that gives a glimpse into one's own unique musical DNA. On any given day you could download an infinite amount of mixes as people churn them out as part of the promotional merry-go-round. However, this is not to say that the romantic ideals and mysterious art of mixes do not remain. Part of the joy of putting together this mix series (albeit very slowly) has been the exposure to new music that you otherwise might never have stumbled upon. And so i must thank Venice Calypso for bringing the curator of Vol.9 in the series to my attention. His mix opened with the Space, Ladies remix of a track called 'Alpha' by a fellow Polish producer unknown to me at the time by the name of Intreau. A little investigation and some great music later and I found myself in the presence of a great new producer, so i quickly chased him up.
