Y. Whales are awesome, but as fellow mammals we are pretty awesome as well. So in an awesome fashion I mixed up a storm on the wheels of steel this evening and made this animal-themed downloadable 34 minute mp3 mix down. Some may be tempted to call it a podcast, but I can't make that commitment.

Since I have so much music, picking themes helps me narrow down my playlist selection a bit. My DJing philosophy is sort of like a genre-less stream of musical consciousness but if you had to peg it down I'd say this mix is a children's electronic dance mix, with bonus rap music.Download it here(28mb) or stream it with this:

I admit some parts of it didn't mix so hot but I'm new at this so cut me some slack. I realize it's pretty heavy on the childrens music, but that was just the case this time. Enjoy and don't forget to purchase music you enjoy.
