After making pancakes for the kiddo, I jumped right into it. I got back from a couple of days in London at the end of February which has me feeling particularly inspired & focused. DJing and making music has always been a really important form of creative relief for me - being a parent & stay at home dad, it feels more important than ever these days so I was really excited to record this one.
