“I wanted to create something timeless for World Whisky Day, and producing my very first Walkers Mixtape felt like the perfect way to do it. Michael Jackson’s music transcends generations, cultures, and eras just like great whisky brings people together. This mix is about celebration, nostalgia, energy, and great vibes. I hope everyone enjoys this experience as much as I enjoyed creating it.”
