Hey there, we've got a new Golden Hour mix for you to hear, #12 no less, this time a boisterous yet smooth adventure through the cosmic lights in the sky that connect the constellations of jazz, jungle and footwork. Hopefully it will provide a worthwhile hours distraction to the ongoing crapola provided by the news networks, so turn it up loud and dance a little crazy with us, why don't you!
