Welcome to the Birthday edition of the Genre Salad!

This is the 12th Salad, ever since I started making them back in January 2008  – yeees I’ve been slacking sometimes and keep getting threatening calls and emails as a result   Well, let’s see how many birthdays we’re going to celebrate together!

True to the spirit of the Salad, lots of bass, sub, BPM ranges and random facts about the producers
I have to apologise in advance about the quality of my “speeches”, I sound like an alien but I did spend 1.5 days on noise cancellation software and settings, I swear! (obviously unsuccessfully). To compensate I’ve served an extra big portion!

Enjoy!
