This is the first Boogie Mixx which I made and put online in February 2008. At first it wasn't meant to be the start of a series but more a celebration of the music I'd been enamored with.

It was made to celebrate 1000 posts on the record collecting forum at Soulstrut.com. I decided to go through everything I'd gotten and just put the killers in there, since I had a lot of fellow record collectors to impress. After that, when I decided to continue making mixes as the collection grew larger, I found myself getting pickier and pickier with what I put into the mixes and in what order. The first song had to be the one that had the biggest impact on me, there had to be a narrative and I couldn't stick to only one genre or one bpm were among a few of the rules I set myself.
