Subject Line: Friday Night Digger Recap: March Madness & Bandcamp Friday Exclusives 🔊

Shifting Sands Album Launch, Pete Tong Academy Update, and a Wall Of Sound Classic.
Yo yo, Blaze here. We are rolling into March already and the momentum is not slowing down.
First up, a massive thank you for the continued support on my Pete Tong DJ Academy Future Talent Awards entry. Your comments on the Session 6 mix are helping put our sound on the map. If you haven't dropped a word yet, please head over and help us highlight the genre we love.
The Friday Night Digger session was another heater. The crew stepped up for the "Time Capsule" and picked an absolute big-beat essential. You can find the full selection from the show right here: 👉 [Friday Night Digger Week 8 Chart] (https://www.beatport.com/chart/friday-night-digger-week-8/882244)
