Well, what can I say... Wulfpack is a fantastic community, musical hub and record label that I've had the pleasure of watching evolve from its humble beginnings, albeit from a distance -- in my home city of Chicago. After getting to experience the ways of the Wulfpack firsthand and befriending the members of its high council, it was an honor and a no-brainer for me to accept their invitation to submit a guestmix and contribute to a future label release when the invitation was offered to me. The label offers a spectrum of sounds, ranging from deep to tech-house to melodic, and those are all sounds that resonate with me. And when paired with the pack's ideals, vision, and friendships I've made, it makes for something I'm truly happy to align myself with.

The mix I've exclusively crafted for this occasion contains a collection of tracks that I'm really feeling at the moment. Some are brand new. Some are not. Some I've had a role in producing or making a custom edit. Some tracks I've simply chosen because I love them. I've gone with an overall deep kind-of-vibe here, fused with a melodic and slightly more peak-hour momentum, without abandoning the confines of its original concept and feel. I've also tried to have this musical compilation take a few unexpected twists and turns to keep the listener on their toes, because after all, many times the journey IS the destination.

Made with love from the Windy City. Turn it up and enjoy.
