Martin King created this mix as an ode to that point — usually at around 3AM — when you’re “trying to artfully sandwich an adult contemporary number like Darren Hayes’ Insatiable between a 155BPM Peshay jungle classic and some NuMetal anthem like System of a Down’s Chop Suey” and you pause to ask, “why do I keep doing this to myself?” Not all of us spend the hours after midnight wrestling with the work of Serj Tankian, but the sentiment rings true.
