One of the most important projects for my warrior friend battling cancer. Together we worked on this release where I would play tracks and watching Alok's responses to the music with delight. Born in India from humble beginning, Alok is one of the most gentlest souls I've ever met, with are warmth that radiates from his heart and touches souls around him. I am fortunate to call him my friend and thank you for working on this project with me!

Join our journey of Eastern vibes through curated with deep dark organic house.

Love you brotha....

To close out celebrating 25 years dj’ing and most likely alienating most listeners, Jess goes back to his roots of where it all began as Transit. Before Hard Style, there was Hard NRG, Freeform, and Hard Trance. Influenced by 90s warehouse raves, this high energy set represents the genres Jess first learned to play. Many have not heard these styles before and may not be for everyone, but art is art.

This goes out to that "one fan" that will probably blow their mind. If you happened to like this mix, check out "Alive!" that was produced in 2002.

Happy New Year and thank you all for supporting my art over the years! 🖤
