For all you Photek fans out there who might not get a chance to nab some of
the older stuff, Asralwerks will be RE-releasing (maybe it's already out..)
some of his older stuff formerly found on Photek (his own label), and maybe
even some of his old Metalheadz stuff. It will be a compilation of a bunch
of old singles, etc.. I deleted the track listing I was sent a while back,
but I believe it will include some unreleased mixes by Peshay and the like..
