Tonight I was joined by DJ Pawnshop, aka Oak, who proposed a great new concept for the night: all songs played in chronological order. We started in the 1700s and ended with new releases, with stops along most major genres along the way. It made for a great night and great mix. Take a musical trip through time below!
