The April Pool shipment, as you can see above, had a lot of tracks that I’d play in a warmup set – generally non-vocal progressive house tracks with decent drums and production, but not necessarily good in a club during a peak-hour set. Maybe I’ll try to record a ten or twelve-hour set in August when I have some free time. I could call it something ridiculous like, “Bolivia’s Best Beach Background Beats.” Nothing that really catches your ear – just a lot of great non-stop tracks.

This shipment also had some cuts of some classic tracks. However, my pick of the month for April would be the Vibrasphere track, "Isolation."
