A four-and-a-half-hour light and smooth blend of groovy, funky beats for lounging.

This is the first mix CD I ever made. Before it, all my mixes were on cassette tape. It was a pretty big leap to be able to burn a CD at home, so I set out to make a memorable set devoted to my own tastes at the time and "Selfish" was the result. Though my approach to curating the set list was selfish, this set proved to have broad appeal and was the best selling set in my tape and cd club. Here it is now in streaming format. It encapsulates the "pretty," soulful, and uplifting sound popular on Fire Island in the mid-to-late nineties.
