Hello Again.
Looks like it is that time of year when people reflect back on the year now almost passed. I always find this time of year funny. With a twitter feed full of #dubstepmemories and bloggers writing about how entire genres of music are dying or dead I am looking to the future with optimism and excitement! I can’t wait for 2012, I am making huge plans and I think it’s...

Head over to music.djgsound.com and download both volumes. You can download them for free, or if you choose you can donate whatever you deem appropriate.
