I'm going to "transfer" a bunch of my mixes from Art of the Mix over here. Since there's not a ton of people using the site during this "dead time", I figured it would be a good time to do it. These next few submissions are all from a time when I was just sort of listless, etc. I don't blame anyone who finds it all a little too much of a cloud-gazing affair.
