As his DJ alias suggests, Bobby Virgona knows a thing or two about positive energy. He’s like a salt lamp with a heartbeat, radiating chillness and good ions all over Sydney. For his i-D mix, Bobby channels this ability to move from darkness into light, or as he describes it: “If the mix does tell a story, it’s one of finding resolve and happiness after more trying times.” Consider this a shot of euphoria to drag you through the Tuesday blues.
