A mix I made for my first radio broadcast at my college's radio station. I wanted to open my first session up with a broad general overview of music I listen to. It is broken up into three sections, starting deeper and escalating to a dancy jiggy kind of funk.

4 Red Snapper : Cortina
Last song in the initial deeper section. I like the repetition in this song, it lets me drag out every last drop of the bass in the previous three songs. The jazz flute adds a nice concluding touch to this first set.
