Back 2 Paradise

10/03/2026

Hey, what’s good, House Fam!!

It was both a pleasure and an honor to be blessed with the presence of two very important people in my life—Jonathan “JBK” Knox and Jerry Haley. The conversation JBK and I shared was truly enlightening, while the set Jerry laid down for us was an absolute vibe! We were definitely fed in more ways than one during this session of Back 2 Paradise!

A huge Happy 23rd Anniversary shout-out to Deep Sugar! Major congratulations to Ultra Naté, Jonathan, and the entire Deep Sugar family for 23 years of keeping this party—and this culture—alive and thriving. What you’ve built has become a true staple within our House community, and it continues to represent the spirit, energy, and freedom that make this music so special.

Below, you’ll find the playlist and download link for Jerry Haley’s guest set. As you can see, our brother in the beat dug deep into the archives and took us on a groove-filled journey through some serious gems!

Job well done, sir! 🙌🏾🔥

Now press play, turn it up, and Enjoy!
