This episode features tracks from DJ Format, Biz Markie, RJD2, D-Sisive & DJ Serious, People Under The Stairs, J-Live, Grace Jones and more.

Featuring an an all new introduction by BRUCE TANTUM, DJ Mag North American Editor and veteran NYC nightlife writer/dj and man-about-town.  A longtime supporter and insider at Halcyon from the very beginning and throughout its two decade life, Bruce provides context and inside info on this and all episodes of THE HALCYON ARCHIVES.
