Says Mick Boogie:
"Last month, I deejayed one of the release parties for Need For Speed: The Run. Truthfully, the game is amazing. It feels like you're really on the road driving your own car from Cali to New York. I checked out the website and they had some awesome trailers that really had me psyched to play the game. They used a lot of cool tracks in some of their trailers... From bands that I love like The Black Keys. As I was flying back from San Francisco to NYC over the weekend, I realized I was making the same path the characters in the game must complete.
So I made this mix to coincide with the game, the music, and the cities it takes you through, inspired by the journey. Among the regions represented are Philadelphia (The Roots), Ohio (The Black Keys, and Chicago (Common). It's a true racing soundtrack... Hence the title The Race. Play it while driving. Play it while running. Mute your TV and play it while gaming. The important thing is... Just play it."
