While it's one of the more dramatic titles I've associated with a new mix, it's not without good reason.  The process of compiling and delivering this mix has worked wonders for my mental health over the last little while.

For the last 20 years, music has served as my primary creative outlet, however; recent opportunities to indulge in the craft or completely immerse myself in a creative project haven't been as abundantly available nor really possible.  (Most new parents or those working in high-pressure professional endeavours might share the same insight.)

So I did a thing.  Indeed, my first thing in a little while...

Put simply, this was me, pinching available pockets of time, throwing on some music and pressing record while doing so.  There was little rhyme nor reason to its execution, rather than embracing an opportunity to process some newer purchases or indulgently enjoying a worn favourite.  (My Ecler Nuo 5 being a notable addition into the latter category.)

I completed this over a number of weekends—on some days, I contributed only half an hour; on others, a little longer—picking up from exactly the point I had finished during the previous window.

It's raw, honest, largely unedited—though, I obviously had to join each session recording—and it's all me, doing something I genuinely enjoy and have done for some time.

I hope this translates into a reasonable journey for you, the listener—I'll continue to enjoy it nonetheless.

TRAXSOURCE LIVE! Sessions #211 - Nate08

Well, it's another time to meet your favorite musicians and go to their studio to listen to the highest quality material. This time let's visit Germany, where Session Victim (Hauke Freer and Matthias Reiling) work their magic. And they make house and disco as close as possible to the live sound of electronic music. The ideal sound is achieved by recording tracks from scratch, where each sound is actually created, rather than taken from a ready-made sample library. Warm and rich sound with a rich palette of shades of jazz, house, disco, blues, which is mesmerizing.
Meet Delusions of Grandeur label ambassadors, authors of 4 juicy studio albums, live groove experts and connoisseurs of the warm sound of vinyl. This mix is a tribute to creativity, which they have been carrying since 2007 and have not changed their direction until now. And it's worth a lot. Let's go to the place where the magicians enchant. 


1.	Session Victim - Moons and Flowers
2.	Session Victim - Dromedary Twist 
3.	Session Victim feat. Nebraska – Dawn
4.	Session Victim - The Hatch
5.	Session Victim – Unchained
6.	Nebraska - Pintxos (Session Victim Remix)
7.	Session Victim – The Haunted House
8.	Session Victim feat. Iron Curtis - Hear The Sun
9.	KiNK - Leko (Session Victim Remix)
10.	40 Thieves, Qzen, O-SHiN - Don't Turn it Off (Session Victim Extended Remix)
11.	Session Victim –  Cold Chills

MUG Melodies | Episode 49
Selected and Mixed by Sbeen Around | @sbeenaround

From starting as a dedicated dancer, swinging around the dancefloor at her favorite DJ’s events to dancing behind the decks since 2016, she has always aiming to make listeners & dancers happy.
Far from being bound to one genre with in-house music, Sbeen Around explores the various delicatessen of underground sounds, winging it tune by tune each time spinnin’ around.
Live performances are unpredictable where all her house sides might shine, depending on the vibe & crowd joint! Groove is the feel in every set.
Been spinnin‘ around various clubs in Reykjavik, Iceland. Would love to check out the wider scene of clubs & venues out there that bring together beautiful souls dancing around.
