There are a lot of mixes posted on the internet, and frankly this will not often be the venue for other people's tastes, no matter how well informed they may be. That having been said, every once in awhile when a special one comes along that I feel a personal connection with, I'll insist you all download it.
This is one of those mixes. While Enigmatic Ocean is composed by Damon Palermo, phenomenal drummer for Mi Ami and probably the coolest person I know in San Francisco, I'd give equal credit to Forest Juziuk, who commissioned it as a tie-in to his Ann Arbor dance night, Dark Matter. Commissioned, inspired, however you want to put it, Forest has a way of making things happen with astonishingly frequent success rates of quality and quantity. Despite beginning our relationship as slightly contentious co-workers (at Wazoo Records) I'm proud to call Forest a good friend, and probably the funniest person I'll ever meet. Definitely the funniest looking.

Oh yeah, and I should talk about what's on it and why it's so good and so forth. Let's just say you were in the mood to take a cosmic voyage through a galaxy of cascading synthesizers and jazz fusion violinists. This is what you'd want to put on to help you pretend you were there in 1977. Disco wasn't dying, it was getting darker. It's like that but whoah.
