A major inspiration for me in the last year has been my friendship with sci-fi house technician Elliott Thomas aka Etbonz . In these days of over-done, trendy, and distracted music culture, it's great to meet someone who loves to listen in his music, restrain, and slowly build. I've been trying to get some unreleased original stuff from the man lately for the blog, but instead (for the time being he assures me) he dropped this mix in my inbox, and I couldn't be happier. A proper mix in the dance-floor realm from a guy who could have taken us anywhere. You can hear the space, emotion, jack, and future on this journey, all hallmarks of our local electronic taste-master alchemist Etbonz. If you like the good stuff I'm sure you will dig! Also check out his 7" track on this BIS mix. -Avalon
