***UPDATED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE***

In the 7th archive, Bass is the name of the Game. In the 3rd archive, my fallen brother DJ Chronic provided us with an angle he never tried before, progressive breaks. He was so proud of that mix and the emotional attachment can be clearly heard throughout the mix. He told me on many occasions it was his favorite he ever did and thanked me for pushing him outside his comfort zone. Anyone that knows Scott knows he like his comfort zone.

Retrospect 007 is dedicated to the many hours conversing with Scott about 1 subject; BASS!!! So my brother this one is for you. I hope they like it, brother. I followed where the bass lead me.

I am Efocus and this is Retrospect 007 Dirty Bass.

I hope this mix helps center you amidst all this chaos surrounding us. It's a life-changing event that will not be forgotten any time soon. Step away from it all and come with me on this 2hr journey through the wonderful calming sounds of Progressive Breaks.

This was a very special mix for many reasons, some you will discover for yourself, but for me just being blessed to vibe with Bea aka Navitas. What an absolute gem to work with. We chose to keep our mixes secret from each other until it was time to put it all together. What a surprise that turned out to be, it showed both of us that shedding another passing year and welcoming a new one can be an almost telepathic conversation among friends when expressed through music. With this being her first EVER official release I couldn't be happier for her and grateful she chose Retrospect. Really enlightening and fulfilling project.

Navitas making her mission clear - "Focused on the feeling she is sharing with those through music, and inspiring others to shine their light too. Passion & Love = 2 of the forces this budding artist ignites as she blossoms before us. Her magnetic performance draws you close. Moving bodies to the rhythmic flow. Energy "get up and go"!

We truly hope you enjoy the work we put into this one and as always...

Wanna dance? This mix will be sure to get you moving and keep you moving. As a huge fan of Breaks and music, in general, I like to challenge myself with different genres, styles, and energies. This mix is an example of how you can keep the heartfulness of strong vocals and lay it over some dope funky beats and elaborate basslines.

Please enjoy to your heart's content and share with your friends and BASS family. And remember.....

For the folks that could not catch my set at The Gemini Party D-Xtreme Tribute @ Ace Cafe, here you go.

Derek and I both loved the sounds of funk, I have always been drawn to the funk sounds incorporated into breaks and other dance music. You will often find these sounds within music I choose for my mixes. He always said not alot of DJs play that and supported my desire to be a little different and play what I feel. So please enjoy this short but sweet journey into some straight up funk delivering plenty of bass.

If you were not able to attend this tribute event, it was absolutely phenomenal. The vibe was extraordinary and the production was top notch, I'm so blessed to have been an integral part of such an amazing event to celebrate the life of a dear friend and Legend in music. I certainly look forward to next year, and other events to come. Keep on the look out because they will be coming.
