Wow....anyone alive?? I know that this may come as a shock, but I haven't fallen off the end of the earth and I haven't forgotten about electronic music. I have had a very busy second half of 2009, getting into some new hobbies, but still listening to a lot of dance music (surprise, surprise). After dealing with not having Ableton for a while, I have been back at it, digging through my 2009 tracks. I wanted to start the year off with a bang and let everyone know that I will do my best to be more...

Some great progressive tracks in this one, followed up with one of my favorite Tiesto tracks from In Search Of Sunrise 5. I really enjoy this mix for a couple different reasons. It's a great set to kick-off the spring and I really enjoy the similar sounding progressive tracks in this mix, especially the new track from Joonas Hahmo. With exception to the final track, this set has a load of tracks that mix very well with one another. Give it a listen and let me know what you think! Tracklist: 1. O...

Wow. I have been in a major slump. It has been really hard for me to find something that I'm really proud of. That is saying a lot for this past month and a half because I have been cranking away trying to publish something fresh and something with (in my opinion) as much character as my last mix. I think I was so happy with the last mix that everything was a letdown. That's to say until I mixed what you are about to listen to. It's really funny how these things happen, as the minute you just le...

I am really excited to share this mix with you as this is my last mix for 2008. I have probably listened to this one 5 times already on a few different bike rides I have been on alone and I have to say that I am extremely pleased with it. This could quite possibly be one of the more "complete" mixes I have done. It carries a very strong feeling from start to finish and if you listen to it all the way through, I'm sure that you will share this thought. The sounds in this mix are the progressive h...

The month of November was pretty busy for me and unfortunately I was unable to mix enough music to find something I really liked. I am (believe it or not) very picky about what I do and do not publish and it truly comes down to whether or not I record enough mixes to be able to pick 1 that I think flows well enough to publish on this podcast. Being as I have only really been mixing music for about 2 years, this process is still sometimes very aggravating, but for the most part is fun to just see...

Lucky number 15. Being as 15 is my lucky number, I decided to make this mix a special one. A dedication to a producer who I greatly respect and admire, Eric Prydz. He has released so many unbelievable tracks. From mind bending sounds to dance floor hits, this is my attempt to combine some of the various sounds he has through my favorite tracks that he has produced. These tracks sounded the best together, as I tried a few variations of this mix in the last month. I like this one the best and I am...

The mix is back! This set is filled with some uptempo trance from start to finish. For all of you that liked my first compilation "Moments of Attraction", this one has some similar sounds. Track 3 is one of my favorites right now as it is an uplifting catchy tune. I hope you all find a nice spot to sit and listen to this mix. Let me know what you think. Tracklist: 1. Ernesto V. Bastian - Unchained Melody (Wippenberg Remix) 2. The Killers - Read My Mind (Gabriel & Dresden Unplugged Mix) 3. Fi...

I took quite a long break since mix 11, so I figured I would post another one here quick after 12. I promised a Trance set and here it is. This one is for all the vocal lovers and trance lovers alike. This set really has the makings of a club mix. These tracks have some amazing drops and great vocals. The synths play a pretty strong role in this set as well. Currently, track number 2 has been going through my head over and over, so I had to throw that one in here. Enjoy! Tracklist: 1. Dash Berli...

Wow....I didn't realize it has been so long since I posted a mix. I knew that I had been putting off a post, but not to this extent. I have been gearing up to race in my 2nd Triathlon this weekend and haven't been doing a whole lot of mixing lately, but am really excited about this mix for a couple of reasons. A good friend of mine just released his first album of electronic tracks! Check out http://www.mattcrofford.com/ to hear his initial release. What is really exciting about this is that I g...

Spring is here. This mix begins with my favorite intro (which I tend to use in almost all sets that I play live) and morphs into a great trance/electronic dance set. I think that all the tunes in this mix are great tracks for the dance floor. There are very few vocal trance tracks that make me more happy than the 4 included in this set. "Feel Me" could quite possibly be one of the better vocal tracks I've heard in the last year, as it is an extremely uplifting/melodic/beautiful track. I think th...

It's been awhile. I have just made a major transition in my life, moving down to San Diego to take a job with a company called The Active Network. I've been here for 3 weeks, and life has been moving pretty quickly here for the last month, and that is unfortunately why I didn't make a post in March. So, to kick off April, I bring to you my first Electro House Mix, which I really like. Some tunes I have wanted to play for a while, but could never find the right place for them. The track by Funker...

Hello again dear music friends. I have finally brought myself to do an abbreviated version of a trance mix. With a few oldies from 2007 and a few new tunes, I enjoyed bouncing up and down in my room as I listened to/mixed this short set. I hope you feel the same way about this one. Tracklist: 1. Sunlounger Feat. Seis Cuerdas - A Balearic Dinner (Club Mix) 2. Duderstadt & Kirsty Hawkshaw - Beatitude (Marcus Schössow Dub) 3. Cosmic Gate - Always A Fool (Club Mix) 4. Marc Marberg with Kyau &...

This compilation has been a long time coming for me, with some big tracks that I have wanted to play for some time. The title of this compilation is Lost In Memory as trance music for me tends to hold specific memories from certain times in my life. I think that this mix also brings with it a sense of being lost, constantly trying to find some sort of equilibrium. For me, the songs seemed to mix together very well, and it came together spur the moment, as most all the mixes I have been proud of ...

November has come and gone quite quickly and there has been a lot of stuff going here with Thanksgiving past and the Christmas season ahead of us. I whipped this mix together kind of spur the moment last night, and decided that this would be one to share to start out here this month. I would like to say there will be a lot of mixes to come this month, but can't promise anything as I'm sure you're all aware how hectic this time of year can get. Anyways, I hope you like this one and are still with...

So here's a set to kick off the month of November (even though we are already 11 days in). I appreciate all the feedback on the mixes I have been sharing and even though they may not be in blog response form, I appreciate the phone calls, text messages, facebook posts....etc. Thanks :) I have updated all the past mixes as I realize it was a bit confusing on what links to click as well as what the titles to the tracks I mixed. So all of that is there now and it should be a little easier to naviga...

Hello there again. I just finished screwing around with some new songs and decided to share this one with you. Its a very mellow progressive house set and one that you can really just zone out to. Check it, let me know what you think :) Hope all is well. Also: The podcast is now updating automatically in iTunes, so if you subscribe in iTunes you won't have to come back to this page again, which is slightly useful. Tracklist: 1. Talisman & Hudson - Leaving Planet Earth (Eelke Kleijn Mix) 2. T...

Sebastian Davidson - Poetic Journey (Original Mix) 3. Sebastian Davidson - Nightbird 4. Tash & Stage Van H - Detox (Eelke Klejin & Nick Van Hogendoorn Remix) 5. M. Paradis - Hello ...

So I had a podcast ready to go, and I came across some new music that hasn’t been released yet, but will be appearing on Tiesto’s big compilation In Search of Sunrise 6. The tracklist recently released and I decided to see what I could dig up on tracks from the album. Tiesto writes “I mixed the album a couple of weeks ago in the old-fashioned way, which means that I didn’t use any programs or computerized gadgets for it. I worked with CD-players for the mix. Most of the tracks are so exclusive t...
