A mix is a transmission.

But it is never just one voice.

Every record within a mix came from somewhere. An artist made it. A label released it. Someone heard it. Someone remembered it. And eventually, it found its way into the hands of another listener.

That's the chain.

The DJ becomes part of that chain—not the owner of it.

That's why I include a track list.

Not because a mix needs an inventory.

Because the artists deserve to be named. Because the records deserve to be identified. Because someone listening might hear something that stops them in their tracks and wonder:

What was that?

The answer should be there.

A track list also gives the listener somewhere to go next.

Maybe one record leads to another. Maybe one artist opens a door to an entire catalog. Maybe a sound heard for three minutes becomes the beginning of a new obsession.

That's how music moves.

That's how movements survive.

The mix itself may be the transmission.

The track list is the acknowledgement of the voices that made the transmission possible.

So the Tower will remember them.

Every transmission will carry its record.

Not just what was played.

Who made it.
