For anyone looking to support, I'm selling CDQ downloads of this mix, with the tracks split up so you can skip/rewind. Audio quality is much higher (the stream was only encoded at 112 kbps), plus it comes with bonus tracks I never released to the public. If you're interested, just DM me, or email me at promoguy1@gmail.com

Definitely listening to this when I get a chance

[THE K-MAN]

Listening to it now
