Summit Sessions 100 has finally arrived! To celebrate this momentous (to me) occasion, I'm celebrating by doing four weeks of mixes, three of which are guestmixes from some great DJs and producers. To start us off is one from Blugazer, who is one of the trance & progressive scene's most consistently-amazing producers. All of his music has a unique style that sets him apart from everyone else, and this mix is a great example of that. If you enjoy this great intro mix to #100 (which I'm sure y...

We're almost to #100! This one's coming pretty late - I've been bad about uploading this weekly lately (having a full-time job can do that occasionally), but we're almost to #100. I've got something pretty big planned that you won't want to miss. For now, let's just say that part 1 of episode 100 will be coming on the 20th of August. As for episode 99 , this one is more of what you've probably come to expect by now - lots of darker-sounding progressive, techno, and trance music. Enjoy! (00:00) A...

The heat here has been getting intense the last few weeks. How about we have an episode that reflects that? As usual, there's some great progressive tracks here, and a steady build-up until the end. Enjoy! (00:00) Mark Found - Flashback (Tencode Remix) [Saturate] (04:59) You Are My Salvation - What Makes Us Human [JOOF] (10:40) Enertia-Sound - Acid Rain [Electronic Tree] (14:19) Estiva - Space Dust [Colorize] (18:27) Paul Thomas & Whit-Aker - Red Skies [Armada Electronic Elements] (22:51) Or...

With the current heat wave sweeping Colorado, stay inside and listen to some nice tunes while you wait it out. That's what this episode is for. (00:00) NTS-51 - The Box [Sunlight Tunes] (06:21) Phase Difference - Black Rose (Alter Future Remix) [Saturate] (11:51) Gordey Tsukanov - Strange Type [JOOF] (16:21) Danny Fontana - Proxima Centauri (Darmec Remix) [Syncopate] (20:51) Wellenrausch - The Pages Of Time (Rex Mundi Remix) [Afterglow] (27:06) Airwave & DJ Fire - Without Roots [Bonzai Progr...

This week , we're breaking all the rules. As the first week of July, this episode should be an Everest edition, correct? Well, it's not. I felt like doing a progressive mix instead. It's a bit slower-paced than usual - it's only 10 tracks instead of the usual 11 or 12 - but I think it's super smooth and flows really well. (00:00) Yotto - The Owls [Anjunadeep] (06:04) Pion - Fade (Andre Sobota Remix) [A Must Have] (12:50) Marsh & Jesse Bullitt - Ritual [Colorize] (17:31) Peter Steele - Mantra...

Up now is an intense one hour journey. All the tunes in this episode of Summit Sessions are dark and full of tension, even more so than normal. It goes deep too, with some great techno from Fehrplay, Max Graham & Tim Penner, and Rick Pier O'Neil. (00:00) Ryan Z - Cortana [Nuevadark] (04:15) Jiminy Hop - Lunatek (Marboc 'Moon' Mix) [Electronic Tree] (08:58) Rick Pier O'Neil - Crystallized [Clinique] (13:50) Faithless - Not Going Home 2.0 (Eric Prydz Remix) [Cheeky] (20:22) Fehrplay - Pandora ...

With summer quickly approaching, you would be expecting a happy-go-lucky mix, right? Wrong. This one is dark and mean and fun. (00:00) Oovation - Solar [Mango Alley] (04:59) Voxy P - Aural Anagram (March 13 & Hexlogic Remix) [Macarize] (09:38) Platunoff - Give Me (Solid Stone Remix) [Clinique] (14:48) Thomas Vink - Beneath [THNK] (20:41) Trilucid & Philthy Chit - Precision (Styller Remix) [Saturate] (25:31) Max Graham - One Hundred (Estiva Remix) [Cycles] (30:32) Evil Tribe - Blacklist [...
Jun 11, 2017
It's the first week of June, the sun is out, the weather is warm, and there's a huge episode of Summit Sessions waiting for you. That's right - it's an Everest Edition mix. That means an hour of high-energy trance guaranteed to blow out your eardrums or your money back. (00:00) Sean Tyas - Banshee (Evan Pearce Remix) [Unreleased] (04:04) Angry Man - Tyrant (Angry Acid Mix) [Monster Digital] (09:46) Abstract Vision & Aimoon - #Joker [Universal Nation] (14:48) Liam Wilson - The Speed Of Design...

This episode , we're going back to my progressive roots. For once, there's no techno or tech trance thrown in. It's all progressive house, progressive trance, and maybe even an uplifting trance track or two. It's a mix that will suck you right in. (00:00) Mike Duz - Lihuen [WeRecommend] (05:46) Ummet Ozcan - Miami Sundown [Reset] (10:11) Basil O'Glue - Dropout [Afterglow] (15:37) Gai Barone - Blank Pages [Pure Progressive] (21:01) Stoneface & Terminal - Another Day (Gundamea Remix) [Euphonic...

Weather in Colorado is weird. It dumped snow here a few days ago. Of course, since it's late May, all that snow instantly turned to slush, making everything a soggy, muddy mess. This has absolutely no relevance to this episode of Summit Sessions; I just wanted to share it. SS91 is a more melodic mix than usual. Enjoy! (00:00) Michael Mashkov - Korea (Sam Davies Remix) [Encanta] (04:26) Above & Beyond ft. Gemma Hayes - Counting Down The Days (Yotto Remix) [Anjunabeats] (09:49) Mike Koglin &am...
May 21, 2017
I can't think of anything to say this week that I haven't already said in previous episodes. Just listen and have fun and stuff! (00:00) Movement Machina - Soul Muse [Mango Alley] (06:45) Abdomen Burst - The World Is Changing [Pineapple Digital] (11:06) E.F.G. & Marboc - 1111 Km [Electronic Tree] (14:56) Marcin Przbylski - Werther Effect [Pure Progressive] (19:32) Airwave - Amber Sky (Basil O'Glue Remix) [Bonzai Progressive] (24:37) Tioan - Punk't (Jeremy Rowlett Remix) [Electronic Tree] (30...
May 14, 2017
It's the first Sunday of May, so you know what that means: an Everest episode . This one explores a very wide range of high-BPM trance, all the way from progressive psy trance to melodic uplifting trance to raw tech trance. It's definitely not as heavy as most of the "Everest" episodes thus far, but it should still be a lot of fun. (00:00) Ace Ventura & Zen Mechanics - Come With Us (Lish Remix) [Iboga] (08:18) Liam Wilson & Will Atkinson - The Hurricane (Peter Hulsmans Aggressive Intro S...
May 07, 2017
Remember how the last two episodes of Summit Sessions were melodic and nice? This one isn't. We're back to our good old dark themes with this episode . I think you'll be more than satisfied here. This is a good one, folks. (00:00) Voxy P - Aural Anagram (March 13 & Hexlogic Remix) [Macarize] (04:49) Re:Locate vs. Robert Nickson and Neev Kennedy - Not Made To Break (Solid Stone Remix) [Amsterdam Trance] (09:54) Dulcet - Shivers [JOOF] (16:04) Rick Pier O'Neil - This Way (Techno Mix) [JOOF] (1...
Apr 30, 2017
Like last week, this episode is a little more melodic than usual. Enjoy the melodies while you can! (00:00) Cosmic Gate & JES - Fall Into You (Eskai Remix) [Black Hole] (05:21) Dennis De Laat - Sound Of Violence (Main Mix) [Confidence] (10:25) Ummet Ozcan - Miami Sundown [Reset] (14:51) Airwave - Amber Sky (Basil O'Glue Remix) [Bonzai Progressive] (20:16) Moshic - False Emotion (Airwave New School Breaks Mix) [Bonzai Progressive] (26:11) Cullen - Digital Emotions [Pineapple Digital] (31:12) ...
Apr 23, 2017
After last week's dark and hard mix, this one is rather more melodic. It should be a nice break from the dark stuff, at least until next week rolls around. (00:00) Blood Groove & Kikis - Harmonic (Mizar B Remix) [Silk] (06:00) Airwave - Amber Sky (Basil O'Glue Remix) [Bonzai Progressive] (11:31) Marcin Przbylski - Still Here (Rick Pier O'Neil Remix) [Vasilek] (16:16) Airwave - Pain Is My Relief [JOOF] (21:13) Naden - Crumbler [Record Union] (26:38) Placebo - Running Up That Hill (Jerome Isma...
Apr 16, 2017
I'd normally say that with the onset of spring, it's time for happy, feel-good music. This episode does not have any happy, feel-good music in it. Fun music, however? Yes. (00:00) Estiva - Stiekem [Statement!] (06:02) Alex Di Stefano - I've Got The Power [Outburst] (11:29) Danilo Ercole & Rafael Osmo - Morphosis [Create] (15:55) Fisherman & Hawkins ft. Sir Adrian - Never The Same (Rex Mundi Remix) [Coldharbour] (21:11) Stuart Ferguson - Thumper [Create] (25:40) Ikorus - Twitch [Outburst ...

It's time for another Everest episode . I do hope you have your seatbelts fastened. I decided to try something a little different for this one. Instead of starting out at both a high energy level and high BPM, this episode starts at just a high BPM but lower energy, with a progressive build until the predictably-crazy ending. It's something I've never really done before - frankly, until recently, I just didn't have the right content in my music library to try live DJing such a thing. Regardless,...
Apr 02, 2017
This week, we're going deep. Truthfully, this is almost a "Frontiers"-like episode, except it's much more focused on techno than melodic progressive house. In fact, one could make an argument that nine out of the 12 tracks in this week's show are techno. The BPM doesn't even go above 128 until the last song (when it hits 130). What I'm trying to say is that you should be ready to get lost. (00:00) Catskill - Barenziah [Dear Deer] (05:33) FromPetersburg & Alex Pich ft. Brightness - A Movable ...
Mar 26, 2017
We're back...again! This week's episode of Summit Sessions is particularly deep and dark - in fact, the first half is almost entirely techno. Need to go for a drive at night? This is the mix for you. There's a few tracks in here that I haven't played before, so I hope you enjoy. (00:00) Estiva - Tarmac [Statement!] (06:11) Elfsong - Tesseract (Jeremy Rowlett Remix) [Saturate] (11:44) Marcin Przbylski - Still Here (Rick Pier O'Neil Remix) (16:29) 2nd Phase - Protocol (Darmec Remix) [Techburst] (2...
Mar 19, 2017
Are you ready for an Everest Edition episode ? To make up for missing one last month thanks to my equipment issues, this one is extra good - though I might be biased. Regardless, it features a great assortment of psy trance and tech trance work that should leave your heart pumping. (00:00) Daniel Lesden & Mekka - Aurora [Borderline] (05:48) The Age Of Love - The Age Of Love (RAM 2017 Rework) [Grotesque] (10:42) ReOrder & Katty Heath - Love Again [Amsterdam Trance] (15:12) Sean Tyas - Mat...
Mar 05, 2017
The latest episode of Summit Sessions has arrived. As usual, there's a good mix of progressive trance, tech trance, and even a little bit of psy trance here. This particular episode is very dark indeed, but there are brief glimpses of light here and there. Enjoy them while they last. (00:00) Phase Difference - Nuage (Christopher Vassilakis Remix) [Saturate] (05:25) Airwave & DJ Fire - Without Roots [Bonzai Progressive] (08:55) Facade - Vuohi [JOOF] (13:55) Basil O'Glue & Gordey Tsukanov ...
Feb 26, 2017
We're back! I managed to wrangle my equipment into working enough to record this episode . To make up for not having one the past couple weeks, this one is extra-good, featuring both old favorites and future classics alike. Enjoy. (00:00) Max Graham - One Hundred (Estiva Remix) [Cycles] (05:36) Danilo Ercole - Global [Create] (11:03) Gordey Tsukanov & Marcus White - Invisible Bridge [JOOF] (15:59) Phase Difference - Black Rose (Alter Future Remix) [Saturate] (20:25) Vicky Devine - What To Do...

Instead of contrived metaphors, just use this episode to just forget about the world for a week or so. Seriously, it's pretty messed up out there, and it seems inappropriate to talk about that sort of stuff right now. If you need an escape of sorts, then listen to this for an hour. (00:00) Max Graham vs. Estiva - Generation (Breakbeat Mix) [Cycles] (05:58) Stephen Kirkwood - The Wolf (Dulcet Remix) [JOOF] (10:13) Airwave - Pray For Happiness (DeCode Remix) [JOOF] (16:58) Forerunners - Samadhi [S...

Do you like pretty music? Then the first half of this episode is for you. The second half, not so much. Anyone who knows me well knows that I like contrast when it comes to art. Whether it's a raw bassline underpinning something melodic, or something small next to something large, contrast - at the risk of becoming philosophical - is what allows us to know the true nature of something. In this case , that's trance. (00:00) Sam Davies - Northern Lights (Dezza Remix) [Silk] (04:58) Forerunners - W...

The world is a pretty amazing place. I was reminiscing last night about the road trip I made to the Canadian arctic last summer. There is nothing in my life thus far which compares to the sheer amount of awe I felt on my journey for this planet on which we live. I spoke last week about the raw brutality hidden behind the beauty, and I think that plays a big part in the wonder of it all - some of the most amazing places I saw were also some of the most inhospitable places on the planet. Like last...

Snowcapped mountains are beautiful. I know that's a pretty common opinion to hold, but I feel compelled to say it right now. A winter storm blew through Denver earlier this week, and has left the nearby Rocky Mountains covered in white powder. However, their beauty hides the sheer brutality of Mother Nature; I certainly would not want to be face-to-face with her with no protection. What an applicable metaphor for this episode of Summit Sessions. (00:00) Mea Culpa - The Child (Gary Delany Remix) ...
Jan 08, 2017
It's the new year, and we're starting 2017 off right with an Everest episode . Yep, that means one hour of raw tech and psy trance so you can hit the ground running and leave 2016 in the dust. Just be careful not to listen to this while driving or you might find yourself well above the speed limit. (00:00) Indecent Noise & RAM - Doom Device [Mental Asylum] (05:34) Johan Ekman - Exhale (John Askew Remix) [Perfecto Fluoro] (11:31) Chris Metcalfe - Prospector [Subculture] (16:33) Oberon - Stabi...

This past week has brought a cold front across much of the central United States, and with it has come copious amounts of fluffy white stuff falling from the sky. Like I said last week, snow falling brings out my more sentimental side, so this week is a continuation of last week's more melodic, progressive vibes. Keep warm, and enjoy! (00:00) Solid Stone & Jennifer Rene - Heart Call (Jerome Isma-Ae Remix) [Coldharbour] (04:57) Amir Hussain - Life In Mono (Solid Stone Remix) [Digital Society]...

It's snowing in Denver this weekend. The snow always brings out the more sentimental side of my personality, I assume because I spent my entire life before adulthood living in places where it never fell. With that sentimental side comes a preference for more melancholic music - this is also what feeds most of my original productions. As such, this episode of Summit Sessions features the more melodic side of deep progressive tunes, though be wary: it still packs a punch. (00:00) Airwave - Pray Fo...
Dec 11, 2016
If you're not "afraid of 138," you will be after this episode. When Summit Sessions relaunched, I mentioned that the first episode of every month would be "crazy." Guess what! It's the first episode of December. Episode 71 is an hour of nasty tech and psy trance that should leave your heart pumping, assuming you're still somehow alive after your head explodes. Oh, I made that joke in the last episode? Deal with it. (00:00) Markus Schulz ft. Soundland - Facedown (Lostly Remix) [Black Hole] (05:22...
