The Original Mix (click here for a sample)
Music has been an integral part of Brian Ffar’s life for as far back as he can remember. As a child, he recalls when it was impossible to sleep without the soothing sounds of his radio turned on by the head of his bed.
Brian began to take piano lessons at a young age and eventually joined the school band. It wasn’t until a then unknown CD, entitled “Homework”, by a then unknown group named Daft Punk was released that Brian would realize his future in music.
