The DJ mix has become ubiquitous and wading through the universe of mixes leads to a certain blandness and sameness as DJs often share the same tracks amongst themselves, especially when you are into a certain genre and come across mix after mix of the same tracks reused like one gigantic universal DJ mix that becomes the air you breathe.
That being said, occasionally a mix emerges that catches your ear and sends you traversing through a different wormhole. This was one of them.
It's a mix that does an incredibly fluid job of revealing where a certain punk aesthetic and a certain strain of techno aesthetic morph which leads to, on a more singular level, a parallel understanding how a band like Joy Division morphed into New Order.
The mix runs the gamut from the late 70s to the now and back in a fashion where the whole trip has a timeless element to it.
Essential.
