“Clutch Shift Gas Go!” is bar none the most ambitious mix I ever tried to record, and probably ever will record. I just wanted to do something that opened with house and ended with drum and bass, in the timespan a CD-R would allow. I remember practicing the hell out of this mix and getting it so tight I practically had the cues commited to memory. It was a bit over the top as far as pre-planning goes, but going from 130-180 bpm in 80 minutes on entirely vinyl is a pretty cool thing to look back on in retrospect.
Monsta’s cover art was pretty badass too. This was a mix CD I was very excited to hand out to people at raves and parties around Boston in 2008.
