Skip to Tracks
HOUR 1

DJSoS (E! Network, Thunder Bay/Toronto, soundcloud.com/deejaysos)

Friends,
Here are the tracks that helped ME get through this tough time. This is NOT an example of my mixing ability, it's all about programming. This set includes rare DB samples, is mastered using BBE® processing and contains the very best quality representations of the tracks that i could find (vinyl/digital).
I encourage you to buy a drink for the person behind you - in Don's honour.

Great tribute by Len. I was fortunate to have been part of the T.O rave scene in the 90s and, without Don, who knows what would have happened.

Thanks guys. Bryan, we have to agree. Don was truly a father of the scene. Not only from organizing everything he did, but also his passion for the scene and people that were part of it.

My friends and I have had so much difficulty with Don's passing here and it is so strange that it is a show out in Ottawa that helps us to most. :)

Thank you for tuning in, spreading the word, and for such wonderful comments. This was the most emotional program we've done. Your comments are indeed also helping us to deal with the pain. And your comments remind us that even though he has left us, Don has influenced our lives in lasting ways, and we will never forget you.
