Seattle's Jason Baxter & Kyle Hargus craft colorful electronic music under the moniker USF, rising up with the pioneering chillwave album Ocean Sunbirds in 2009 as Universal Studios Florida. They've been unleashing more club-inspired jams on a string of EPs under the shortened alias, most recently on this summer's vibrant, kaleidoscopic OASISM EP on Ceremony Recordings. Their exclusive DJ mix for Midnight In A Perfect World is split up into two distinctive halves, kicking off with Jason storming through some of his favorite funky, uptempo, house-leaning club jams before Kyle provides the post-club soundtrack with more cerebral, spacious, celestial cuts. Top-notch track selection from start-to-finish.
