Notes on the Mix ///

"It was a really fun process putting this together with JC and finding a cohesive sound between our two musical tastes, which are very similar! I love the extra gay moments we came up with. I also love how the structure of this mix mimics what I consider to be an ideal dance floor experience: a warmup with lots of percussive groove; a slow build in energy with lots of soul and classic house styles that locks you in through to the peak; and a lush melodic wind down that ends on an optimistic note :)

If you know JC/SPRFRK, then you know he is a person who brings a special energy to a room (and to the decks!) Over the time I’ve known him, I’ve watched him grow and refine his sound as a dj and I love the chemistry that we’ve developed playing together, so I knew he was absolutely the right choice for this b2b. I’m so glad to have him both as a friend and a musical cohort and look forward to many more dance floor moments together!" -Kandylion

"I’m very honored to be part of this XOXA B2B mix with KANDYLION. Not only has she become a great friend of mine in the scene, but the more we get to know each other, the more in sync we become musically. Playing with KANDYLION has been such a fun adventure and this mix is a reflection of what fun we have playing together. Hope to continue this journey with her and reach many dance-floors with our energizing sound!" -SPRFRK
