Yeah! Here's hoping this goes well. Anyway, your list had quite a few of the choices I would put on there, along with some which I love but wouldn't have thought to put on such a list (eg music for airports). I've got a few ideas though - what about the Round 1-5 comp? I'm surprised that wasn't there. Also, I'd consider putting on some of the house albums, like something from Larry Heard perhaps, or Ron Trent or Nicholson. Bob Marley is a definite candidate. So is Juan Atkins, although you do mention him. What do y'all think?
