This is a live set for a private party that was never really made for release. It was made for the magic of one night. In October of 2013 a Great Gatsby party happened and it was the social event of the season. Everyone was there dressed to the nines, cocktails, and cigars between the pool and rotunda. Hors d’oeuvres of canapés, crudités, and patisserie by the grand foyer. A photo session in the drawing-room, and plenty of action in the ballroom. The creation of a proper mood for this event was crucial and began with crafting a new cocktail (mash-up) of Lana Del Rey’s song from the Great Gatsby soundtrack. Everything else was built from there using lounge, future jazz fusion, and a touch of hip hop. The cocktail was released on November 5th of that year but the setlist was lost to a cocktail napkin and found again inside a smoking jacket. Eventually to be released as a full the full mixset in Feb of 2014.
