description:
I'm only 15. Although I was alive in the early '90s, I didn't really become full aware of the music in my surroundings until around 2001 or so. No matter how much I may love '90s music, my true beginnings lie in the past seven years. Because of this, I would feel disingenuous if I didn't choose to pay homage to my past, and the years that sowed the seeds of music in me.

Also, my cover art was supposed to be a really rad picture of some fireworks, but for some reason every time I upload the picture and crop it, it refuses to show up. Oh well. Just visualize fireworks, and enjoy!

1 RJD2 : The Horror
RJD2 was one of the first DJs I got into, along with DJ Shadow, and this song's moody atmospherics sum up why I love him. Unfortunately, he sucks ass now. =(
