Breaks Of Day


Tracks and Sketches 04-09



Hello,

I've put a mix together of 15 tracks I made from 04 to 09.

At the moment I'm concentrating on writing my own compositions that are sample free,

but I have a load of tracks made from some of my favorite jazz and soul records sitting around doing nothing. So I put 15 of them together in this mix so they can be heard and enjoyed.



I hope you like.
