Dance Megamix w/ Don Play :: North Carolina's Disco Mixer Don Play

The complete EXTENDED mix (2 hours 40 minutes) of electroclash mayhem. This mix was a true labor of love, designed to give a decent impression of what the hipster electro scene was really like back in the early 2000's.

Bonus: Hear some tracks from the mixtape that Erin made me back in ...
