To close out celebrating 25 years dj’ing and most likely alienating most listeners, Jess goes back to his roots of where it all began as Transit.

Many have not heard these styles before and may not be for everyone, but art is art. This goes out to that "one fan" that will probably blow their mind. If you happened to like this ...

25 years ago, I first laid my hands on some Technic 1200s and became addicted!

Devastated, Jess changed almost the entire project based on what he was feeling at the time as a tribute to those that tragically lost their lives at the hands of those that are supposed to be protectors. This recording was filed away and almost forgotten. Unfortunately, the set list has ...
