“Two Turntables, a Mixer, a crate of VINYL and a lot of SOUL.

This is a mix that, like all other mixes I did and will do, is done in one take.

There are mistakes in there but I consider them as natural because there was no preparation whatsoever to make this mix.

I could just throw [away] the mix and do another one, but I know that it will be difficult to catch the vibe of this one.

The only idea I had for this mix is to be true to myself and the music I play and that most people associate me with. Here is a bit of my soul and a bit of my actual state of mind.

For those who might be surprised about the last track , all I can say is this: It was an improvised choice as i picked the record while mixing the last track, and to be honest, I couldn’t think of ending this mix in any other way. John Beltran is one of the musicians that I admire and love, and his music touches.

The deepest parts of my soul. So yes I wanted you to listen to his genius if you make it to the end of this mix.” -DJ Mourad, Recorded May 11th, 2013.
