Omid just sent over this mix he put together while filling in for Mike Nardone’s legendary We Came From Beyond show on Sunday night. True to form the LA producer drops a pretty incredible set, most notably rocking a gang of Project Blowed/Goodlife rarities towards the beginning – elusive demos from MC Aces (Spoon, Aceyalone & Mikah 9’s pre-Fellowship group) and the Nonce (then the Populist Division), old GL live recordings, remixes and much more.
