“I have always been inspired by rock, reggae/dub, soul, 80s, disco, hip-hop, funk and just about everything in-between” reveals Migs “and I wanted to showcase some of that diversity in this compilation, focusing on creating an enjoyable listening experience through a span of time, while also having some updated and unreleased versions to spice things up.

“I hope the listener is able to appreciate the spectrum of sounds and understand that I just love music, plain and simple” he concludes “and that regardless of current trends or hype I try and stay true to creating music that I feel and enjoy.”
