luciano's new mix is my favorite of the year so far. not that it doesn't have some decent competition in the get physical 4th anniversery mix, but somewhat counterintuitively that didn't hit me so hard and fast. philip sherburne's new mix is also nice, as is the tape crew's, but my oh my is sci.fi.hi.fi. volume 2 in a whole 'nother league of purdy. it's also nice to hear a mix where i don't know most of the tracks, and to hear someone try to mix with a track off of achso (and make it work).

i would feel bad about linking to the whole mix if ysi's new look didn't portend that it'll be impossible for me to do so in the future. so here it is, for a brief time:

• luciano – sci.fi.hi.fi vol. 2
