The music is dated a bit by the Myspace reference in the title – and it's definitely full of the beats that are promised too – as the work is from a period when Parker was experimenting a lot with his talents as a DJ, as most of these tracks mix older samples from jazz and soul music with more contemporary rhythms – tunes that echo the sounds that were moving across Parker's turntable at the time, with plenty of vintage sounds that you'll recognize throughout the double-length set", Dustygroove.
