MDMA Mix [March 2010]

I admit it, this mix probably doesn't work all that well as a soundtrack to an MDMA-trip. It's not that I'm against chemicals or anything---I know lots of people who use drugs for recreation without ruining their lives, becoming addicts or committing heinous crimes; I just feel that I'm much better suited to making mixes for drugs I'm actually partial to (like my previously posted Stoner Night Mix, for example).

Which isn't to say that the songs on here are bad, either. They are, quite obviously, wicked. Again, they're just maybe not that well-suited to an MDMA-trip, which is more of an uptempo, optimistic (and, usually, just plain sappy) affair. So, for those of you who dig the MDMA-vibe, I'm sorry if I got your hopes up (but don't worry, my club-ready New Order introductory mix is coming soon). I did honestly set out without the intent of making an MDMA-friendly mix (after being asked to do so by some friends) but, looking back on it now, I think it got away from me.

Oh well.
