I guess it's been a minute (make that three years) since the last time I put out a mix.  A whole bunch of things have happened in the meantime -- like a global pandemic that locked everyone indoors, my eventual falling ill to said pandemic, and (of course) my upgrading to a Pioneer RX3.

In a post-COVID world, things have shifted more heavily to tech house.  This mix tries to thread the needle between melodic prog and tech house -- basically like Vintage Culture sets.

(PROTIP:  For those of you who hate foreplay and just want to get to the bangers, skip to 31min.)

Strictly Progressive 007 - Afterlife Oddity

The first remix I'm proud enough to release to the public is also my personal favorite song from the 1980s.  It's just been bass-boosted and sped up for a new generation to enjoy.  

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it and refining it.  (Still missing a clean outro, but that'll be fixed shortly.)

Jackson Browne - Somebody's Baby (Bedhed Remix)

All killer, no filler.  Inspired by a recent trip to Miami, my last year of DJ gigs, and a *really* impressive Kevin de Vries set on New Years' Day in San Diego.  In sum, it's another attempt to thread the needle between melodic and tech house.

Strictly Progressive 010 - The Road to Tulum

O.T. Genasis - CoCo (Bedhed's Baking Soda Bootleg)

Melodic Techno is Trance 2.0, and this mashup proves that point.  Henri Bergmann + Monophase's masterpiece "Chimera" just goes perfectly with Armin's classic "Not Giving Up On Love", to the point that people often think this is a remix rather than an acapella drop with some FX and compression slapped on the vocal.

Here's the studio version so you don't need to do it live with two decks playing simultaneously

Henri Bergmann & Monophase - Chimera x Armin van Buuren - Not Giving Up on Love (Bedhed Mashup)

All gas, no brakes on this one.  The soundtrack to a truly epic, life-changing year.  Inspired by sunset raves on the Southern California beaches and the most stunning sunsets I've ever seen on the Oaxaca coast of Mexico.  Expect lots of Kevin de Vries, Anyma, Cassian, Innellea, Argy, Adam Sellouk, and Vintage Culture -- "melodic bangers" if all other descriptions fail.

Are we allowed to have this much fun?  Yes, yes we are -- and this is only the beginning...

2.  Post Malone - Hollywood's Bleeding (Adam Sellouk & Y Do I Remix)

Strictly Progressive 011 - Sunset Melodic

ATB was an entire generation's gateway to trance music, including me.  when i was starting to produce music more seriously in early 2023, i threw together a self-described "cheeky little bootleg" of this song with a bass boost for modern speakers and some other things to boot.  

it's gotten a lot of love whenever i played it out, so i refined it and remastered it for your enjoyment

ATB - 9PM ('Til I Come) (Bedhed Remix)

Originally this was going to be the unofficial after mix for Anyma's Sphere residency, but you'll also like it if you've ever been to Afterlife Tulum / Zamna Tulum, any Afterlife event, or are planning on going to such shows in the future.  Also doubles as great workout music (as always).

Expect another round of melodic bangers from some of the genre's heavyweights: Anyma, Cassian, Massano, Innellea, CamelPhat, SCRIPT, Argy, PACS, TH;EN, Fur Coat, Olivier Giacomotto, the unstoppable Max Styler, the absolutely wild sounds of Maccabi House / Adam Ten / Mita Gami, Brazilian superstars PACS and Vintage Culture...and your future favorite artist Final Request.  Oh, and it features a live mashup and a homemade remix from me now that I am producing tracks!

Strictly Progressive 012 - After the Sphere

The most popular mixtape I've ever done was Sunset Melodic, so I *had* to run it back for Volume 2.  Second time around, we've got an even stronger vibe right out the gate with the same old steady build until the finish line.

If you missed Anyma at the Sphere, or you went and you want to relive that sound, you'll find it here.  You'll also find the Brazilian melodic sound that's taking over of late (Moonphazes, Mila Journee, RUBACK), Korolova, SCRIPT, Adam Sellouk, Max Styler, and even some Westend / Experts Only bangers for good measure.

TL;DR melodic bangers and tech house bangers for 1h44m; please enjoy getting your faces melted off <3

TRACKLIST:

1.  Ubbah - Lies
2.  Sofi Tukker - Purple Hat (Adam Sellouk & Doriann Remix)

Strictly Progressive 013 - Sunset Melodic Vol. 2

The music I like to play is also popular with canines because my dog often runs to me, full of excitement, trying to "dance" along.  This is a recurring (and cute) phenomenon that occurs regardless of whether I'm mixing stuff on my Pioneer setup or working on Ableton Live via PC + monitors: he always wants to "dance".  

It's probably just his manipulative way of getting belly rubs from me, but I am positive that if he had opposable thumbs, he would be a killer DJ, and this would be his DJ set rather than mine.  This one's a bit more of a mixture of melodic techno, tech house, and bass house: in other words, I'm trying for the AETERNA / Experts Only / Maccabi House vibe that Meduza / John Summit / Adam Ten & Mita Gami are respectively cultivating of late.

Just remember: PLAY IT LOUD.

TRACKLIST:

1.  Th;en - 365 (SLVR Remix)
2.  Rauschhaus & Peer Kusiv - Love You

22.  Nelly Furtado - Say It Right (Rinzen Remix)
23.  Mind Against - Jericho

Strictly Progressive 014 - Doggo Dance Party

Melodic techno, as a genre, is in constant transition.  In just 5 years, we've gone from the hypnotic and calmer Afterlife sound to the Afterlife "melodic banger" sound that is basically Trance 2.0 / EDM.  Now, we are shifting from the Afterlife / Trance 2.0 sound into something harder-hitting, fresher, and (dare I say) even better.  Mind Against and their label "HABITAT" are at the forefront, as is Massano and his label "Simulate".  And then you have the Meduza / GENESI sound flirting with tech house, and the Brazilians doing something even better.

This mixtape is inspired by that newer vibe and is made for an extra loud/ratchet Golden Hour once the sunset hits the horizon.  I think it's the hardest hitting mixtape I've ever put together, at least until Mind Against shows up near the end with some chilled out vibes (that all turn into bangers).

TRACKLIST
1.  Notre Dame - Citizen 99

Strictly Progressive 016 - Marina Bay Madness

For much of May I was on the road, and this music was fueling the voyage.  Was finally able to throw most of this mixtape together immediately before (and also during) a mega long-haul flight from Singapore to LAX.  

Expect another 60-odd minutes of threading the needle between melodic and tech house -- featuring tracks from the latest Anyma album, Moonphazes, Adam Sellouk, Mau P, and another homemade edit care of Bedhed himself

NOTE:  If the SoundCloud copy sounds distorted, rest assured that the downloadable version is *clean*!!

Previously heard a version of this edit getting played out by SCRIPT & Adam Sellouk.  Went ahead and did my own remake edit, and decided to share it for those who want a copy for personal use.

Free Download

Keinemusik, AN21, Stryve & Malachiii - Liquid Gold vs. Move (Bedhed Edit) (FREE DOWNLOAD)

I made this cheeky little edit / mashup so I could play the melodic techno music that I like to mainstream crowds in Las Vegas and any other conceivable venue.  Turns out it has staying power because now it gets used in every single set I play out... :)

(If vocal sounds distorted, the download copy will sound cleaner.)

Bon Jovi vs. Volaris - Livin' on a Revelation (Bedhed Edit) (FREE DOWNLOAD)

My very first mashup, circa January 2012.  The overwhelmingly positive feedback (thanks Austin & Ian) led me to buy DJ equipment, and the rest is history.
