DESCRIPTION:
This is a mix set that Dean De Benedictis (aka Surface 10) made on Halloween eve during a blackout, alone at a large house in CT, in 2011. It features some of his favorite tracks at the time by Jon Hopkins, Solar Fields, Gel Sol, J-Walt, Signal Drift, Smite Matter, Ian Boddy and others, including a few tracks Dean created with colleague Vic Hennegan.

 Dean had no mixing gear or even mixing software at this time. He just used the finder-window players on his Macbook, back and forth between that and iTunes. He sent the mix to a few friends afterwards. It was during his Travels Rendered project trip on the East Coast in 2011. The mix was called "Creep You, Blissy."

(We apologize for the few audio dropouts you may experience further into this mix. The mix was made in the dark, without the proper software or equipment for mixing.)
