Untitled 909 Podcast 032: Aidan Ray
“I like it fast, hard and nasty” is something Aidan Ray may or may not have said to describe this mix.

Untitled 909 Podcast 027: Chrissy
When we asked Chrissy to provide a mix for our series, there was no guessing to what it would sound like. Chrissy’s knowledge of music goes above and beyond what I could ever dream of having tapped into the world of house, ghettotech, footwork, jungle, hardcore, disco and more.
