Episode 21 has finally arrived after a 2 year delay. I took a good deal of time away from recording my mixes in 2010 and then got back into it in 2011 and to be honest, it took a lot of time for me to get something out there that was not junk. Since this is something that doesn't come to me naturally, it takes a lot of practicing and time for me to crank out something I'm proud of. To give you an idea, I have just under 40 mixes sitting in my documents folder from 2011 and not one of them was what I would consider as worthy for my log of mixes. I have so much music that I want to mix but at the same time realize that it can't all fit into one session. This is the constant conundrum I get in - lots of good tracks individually but collectively junk when I try to get them together. I want to try and get a mix out there at least once a quarter and remind you all that I am still very much into the dance music scene as I have ever been. Hopefully this high energy mix can accompany you for whatever you are out there doing and if nothing else I hope it brings some happiness into your life like it does for me!Tracklist:Cirez D - Mokba (Original Mix)Kyau & Albert - Be There 4 U (Mat Zo Dub)Space Rockerz & Tania Zygar - Puzzle Piece (Daniel Heatcliff's Farewell Remix)Bent - As You Fall (Kyau & Albert Remix)Norin & Rad - Bloom (Original Mix)Tiesto - Everything (Cosmic Gate Remix)Above & Beyond - You Got To Go (Kyau & Albert Remix)Mark Eteson - Jumeirah (Mike Shivers Garden State Remix)Oza - Small Planet (Original Mix)Mat Zo - Synapse Dynamics (Arty Remix)To Listen To This Mix, ClickHERETo Subscribe To This Podcast, ClickHERE

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 that, if I'd still be mixing with records, I wouldn't have been able to get those productions on vinyl!” So....exclusive tracks you probably won't hear until Tiesto's album drops....put on your headphones and turn it up. Enjoy :) Tracklist:1. Andy Duguid Feat. Leah - Don't Belong2. The Veil Kings - Searching For Truth (Original Mix)3. Moonbeam - See The Difference (Inside Mix)4. Global Experience - Madras5.

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 navigate through. This mix is one for the club, as I have listened to it a couple of times thinking its a great one to get out on the dance floor too. Again, my progressive house love is continuing to take control of my life, so I hope you are enjoying this one as much as me. I hope all is well with everyone and look forward to chatting soon!Tracklist:1. Cirez D - Horizons (Original Mix)2. Toby Montana & Luetzenkirchen - Last Night In Vegas (Original Mix)3.

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 my on this progressive house binge. I'm loving it :)Tracklist:1. James Zabiela - Human (Intro Version)2. Glenn Morrison - Circles3.

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 do. Anyways, would love to hear what you think of when you listen to this one. Hope 2008 is treating you well so far :)Tracklist:1. Cerf Mitiska and Jaren - Saved Again (Lunacy's Intro Cut)2.

Hello again dear music friends. I have finally brought myself to do an abbreviated version of a trance mix.

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 Funkerman is my current favorite tune, I think the vocals and the buildup make up a classic Electro Sound and its a tune to dance to. Enjoy this mix!Tracklist:1. Dirty South & M.Y.N.C. Project - Everybody Freakin (Original Mix)2. Jay Lumen - Postcard From Alexandria (Original Mix)3. Gold Ryan - Clean Track (Original Mix)4. Funkerman - Speed Up (Original Mix)5.

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 that this is a great mix to listen to at the end of the day watching the sunset (by the beach for me :P). Hope this mix makes you all as happy as it makes me. Tracklist:1. Deadmau5 - Jaded (Ambient Intro Mix vs. Original Mix)2. Andrea Doria feat. LXR - Beauty of Silence (Inpetto Remix)3. DJ Shog - (Feel Me) Through The Radio (Inpetto Vocal Remix)4.

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 get to mix his music into my sets which is a pretty cool feeling. So, I have included my two favorite tracks off of his new release in this mix. This mix to me is a fun one to listen to and zone out. I'll try and keep it coming with some mixes in the upcoming months, as I have a few Trance mixes that are super high energy and are going to blow some socks off. Enjoy this one!Tracklist:1. Jay Lumen - Calypso (Original Mix)2. Matt Crofford - Eraser (Original Mix)3. Morgan Page Feat. Lissie - The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)4. Matt Crofford - Spectre (Original Mix)5.

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 Berlin - Till The Sky Falls Down (Vocal Mix)2. Cerf Mitiska and Jaren - You Never Said (Dash Berlin Remix)3. Keane - Is It Any Wonder (Tall Paul Remix)4.

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 also proud of the mash-up that I did with the last track. Sit back, zone out, and let me know what you think.Tracklist:1. Pryda - Armed (Original Mix)2. Pryda - RYMD (Original Mix)3. Pryda - Rage (Original Mix)4. Paolo Mojo - 1983 (Eric Prydz Remix)5.

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 house sounds that really attract me as a listener and make it a lot of fun to mix a set like this one. This is very different than my trance compilations, so put on your headphones and enjoy the journey. Happy New Year!Tracklist:1. Son Kite - Focus (Shiloh Remix) 2. Ercola - Every Word feat.

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 consistent with my music this year and try to release something on a monthly basis (fingers crossed). I am excited to start things off with mainly vocal tracks from 2009 (with one notable exception) that caught my ear. The first track in this mix is probably the most listened to track I have had on my mp3 player for the last half of 2009. I think it is a great way to kick this set off. Please let me know what you think. Here's to another decade...Tracklist:1. Nic Chagall - This Moment (Prog Mix)2. Bellatrax - Can't Hold Back feat. Tina Cousins (Original Extended Mix)3.

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 what goes well together. Anyways, here is another mix for your listening enjoyment. I decided to go full on trance for this mix, but manage to keep a fairly progressive sound. These tracks are all tracks that I have heard played out by some big names live and they sound really good in clubs and large venues. The Andrew Bennet track, Closer is one of my favorites tunes right now. I took this mix with me on one of my more recent bike rides and decided that it was something that I would share. Let me know what you think.Tracklist:1. Darude - I Ran (So Far Away) feat. Blake Lewis (Gareth Emery Remix)2. Gareth Emery - This Is That (Original Mix)3.

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 let things flow and stop forcing it, something amazing comes out of it. There are only 2 tracks in this mix with vocals, but I think that they really standout and this for me makes this mix really cool. All of these tracks really bring about a certain mood, and the song that this mix finishes with has been just getting better everytime I listen to it. I can't pinpoint what exactly draws me to the song, but the vocals are definitely apart of it. Jaren's voice is amazing.Tracklist:1. Jay Lumen - Parabola (Original Mix)2. The Jay Lumen Vibe - Atlas (Original Mix)3. Thomas Schwartz - Jupiter Calling (Original Mix)4. Yves Larock - Say Yeah (EDX Re-Dub)5. Chris Lake - Carry Me Away (Original Club Mix)6.

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.
