no doubt about it, one of the first songs i fell in love with was the mike koglin rmx of enjoy the silence, found on Gianni's live at rebirth... the man definitely has a special place in my mixtapes box! and as for 1015, i reallly dig that place as far as the layout, look and music goes, but the crowd can be full of CREEPS. but thats a whole 'nother discussion...
