Podcast Archive: The Dance Megamix with Don Play

I recorded this two hour vinyl mix of midtempo disco burners while my hardwood floors were being repaired. There was so much noise from the hammering that I couldn’t really talk on the mic! But thanks to the amazing technological advances in RUBBER BANDS, the needles never skipped and you can’t even hear the vibrations on the recording. Amazing.
