DJ Mensa Presents: HAZE

Via DJMensa.com

Continuing where last year’s “Lazy Days” left off, HAZE is that feeling that you wanted to do something today but this summer heat has you in a camel clutch, and all you can do is tap out.

It’s not procrastination or apathy. It’s simply a HAZE.

We understand. You had every intention of doing that thing. But hey, it’s hot out. Wait until the sun goes down or something.

Some rare gems from a few years back along with tunes currently bubbling in the streets. And, as always: a healthy dose of remixes throughout.

HAZE is your soundtrack for doing nothing. So get to it.

“I’m in a HAZE, you’ve been amazed.”
