-For Mackish Affairs Only-

This was my first library compilation from back in '07. I didn't have much at the time, but it was meant to be the best of what I had. As I continued to listen and explore, I found much much better music. I was editing and re-working tracks daily. I thought surely I couldn't do better than this one. Well as it turns out, Volume 1: For Mackish Affairs Only is the first of five and perhaps many more compilations. And for you "smokers" out there, I'm told that is good music to smoke by.
