Rare Beef head honcho, Michael Imperial issues an end-to-end burner DJ mix. Perfectly suited for both night time joy rides and peak hours at the club, it highlights the infectious bass lines, syncopated vocal samples, and driving percussions found in house, club, techno and UK bass.

I wanted to capture the intensity and energy of a 1:00am DJ slot, as well as showcase music from Canadian electronic labels. Shout out to: Turbo, Main Course and obviously Rare Beef. The CRTC would be proud.
