In DJ Voices’ words: “Growing up in Florida, driving was a significant part of everyday life. It was also one of the most formative ways of listening to music for me. Some of my fondest musical memories involve driving, usually alone and for long stretches, completely immersed in the sounds I was hearing as the road stretched out ahead of me. Largely for this reason, driving was also my favorite means of “escape” as it provided emotional release and a way to get in touch with a deeper sense of imagination and creativity.

“So for this mix I wanted to make something that I imagined I would listen to while driving, something literally transportive with plenty of dreamy sounds to zone out to. It’s still a mix comprised of dance music, but I think for me there’s a shared affinity between the club and the car as forms of escape through being totally consumed by the music you’re hearing.

“I wanted the pacing of the mix to mimic that of a long drive: acceleration and downshifting, moods transforming with the landscape. The title comes from the name of one of my favorite songs in the mix and summarizes what I think a good drive can achieve : )”
