luv004 Logan's Last Run

Logan’s Last Run

i made this mix just before my 30th birthday. initially thinking it was to be my last because where i come from everyone at the age of 30 must enter the Carrousel and be renewed. i was not ready, i had many more mixes to make, so i became a runner. to this day, almost 13 years later, i am still running from the Sandmen.
