Time To Track 2016-03-27 feat. Jac Frier, Oscillate Darkly & Scatterbrain

I recently did a guest mix for Andrew Wowk’s Time To Track on Bondi Beach Radio, spinning some tunes you might not usually hear me play - a selection of deep and dubby techno, with twists and turns into acid and breakbeat. Catch my mix in the third hour, after the excellent Jac Frier and Oscillate Darkly in the first two.

What is your Ikigai? What a great concept! 

“Ikigai (生き甲斐, pronounced [ikiɡai]) is a Japanese concept meaning “a reason for being”. Everyone, according to the Japanese, has an ikigai. Finding it requires a deep and often lengthy search of self. “ - Wiki
