The mix was made by Michael Diekmann of IY on ProTools

This mix skitters across three and half decades, pulls in some our touchstones from the late 70's -- early 80's, and moves over the next two decades touching down on some outstanding tracks that pushed that original aesthetic forward - expanding it, redefining it for both the uninitiated and those of us that have followed it through time. We included artists from the US, UK, Germany, and Switzerland. The mix concludes with an unreleased Ike Yard track submitted for a documentary on the architect Rem Koolhaas.
