At WestsideWax DJ School, one thing we really try to emphasise with students is the art of storytelling.  Whether verbal or musical, it takes a certain relaxed and open mindset to be able to spin a yarn that will hold people's attention for an extended period of time - even moreso in this day and age, where information is constantly conveyed in flashes of easy to digest and just as easy to forget bits and bites.

While some do have the natural ability to program an engaging DJ set, good storytelling most often tends to be a product of experience.  Veteran DJ Eric Lork has been in and around Toronto's Techno scene since the early days, and while his local profile has generally been low-key and under the radar, his dedication to the music he loves is unwavering.  With "Blindsided", Eric expertly layers a selection of class Techno and Tech-House tracks together to create a riveting soundscape that rolls like a smooth evening drive down a clear highway.  Newcomers to the craft pay attention - this is how it's done proper.
