My friend Joe Flanagan, the10thvictim, passed away this weekend due to complications from a brain tumor. If any of you on my friends' list were acquainted with him, are in the SF area and would like to pay respects, I will have more information later today.

So, this is a stream of a mix I made yesterday at my co-DJ's place. Yes, its low bit-rate. Yes, there is noticeable seperation at moments of mixing cuz I was getting used to his limited set-up and using the cross-fader when I just unlearned that technique.
