Back in The Box

mertz's latest mix, Back In The Box, is available at Exile on Main St in downtown Champaign, or at any of Mertz's performances.

the mix is aimed squarely at the dancefloor and features mertz's signature techy, squelchy, yet still deep, house sounds. featuring 19 tracks, it was mixed live on two turntables with no edits or computer trickery.

there is no set release date for a digital upload of the mix (although it will happen eventually), so if you want to hear it, you will need to pick up a CD copy.
