A couple of DJ sets from Nora En Pure

I'm back with a pair of wonderfully deep DJ mixes from South African-Swiss producer and DJ Nora En Pure. I managed to catch the pair, yesterday, while back at work, trying to set an upbeat, speedy tempo for accomplishing a rather insurmountable task in a relatively unrealistic amount of time.Yup, you heard that right.
