With such a prolonged lockdown here, I did this mix as a bit of a release...dreaming of getting out of the house and away...anywhere!! It's dark and heavy but has some uplifting moments strewn around for good measure, and the majority of tracks here are big room Techno anthems that were reasonably recently released. Let off some steam and enjoy!

Broken In So Many Ways - Lockdown Techno Mix

On this date every year I share an Electroswing based mix dedicated to the amazing Carla....this is the 11th year edition! It features some cracking releases from the likes of Glenn Gatsby, Parov Stelar, Wolfgang Lohr and many others including possibly a sea shanty....to get you in a 1920s swinging party mood....enjoy!

Carlas Theme 11

This mix features some of my favourite progressive trance tunes from 2021, with one or two older tracks thrown in too fit the social commentary theme. 2021 is behind us now, but what a year it was...it seems like world events continue to divide us as people.
This mix is a slow burn, and although melancholic to begin with, ends on an uplifting note...here's hoping things pick up for humanity in 2022!

An Ode To 2021

A melodic techno and prog mix here with a touch of dub too start  This mix features almost entirely new tunes released this year, in fact most of the tracks here you can pick up yourself from my latest chart on Beatport here:  https://www.beatport.com/chart/very-much-here-melodic-goodness/739650 if you want them for your own collection.

As usual, all credit goes to the original artists...and I hope you enjoy the tunes to groove through the day...wherever that takes you. Cheers!

Very Much Here 2022.mp3

On this date every year I share an ElectroSwing based mix dedicated to the amazing Carla on our anniversary....this is the 12th year in a row. One day I'm sure she'll just ask me to please (please!) stop but thankfully that day was not today! 
This 1 hour mix jams in 19 tracks and features some of our usual favourite artists; Parov Stelar, Wolfgang Lohr, DJ Mibor, Glenn Gatsby....and plenty of new finds as well. Enjoy!

Carlas Theme 12

A very high energy mix project here for inspiration and motivation, in fact, this Psy Trance mix is loaded with what is called 'Life Critical Points' :p
The mix is featuring my favourite "top shelf" Psy producers of late, including Melodeep, Electric Universe, Faders, Outsiders and a lot more. Strap yourself in for 90 minute work out...all credit to the orginal artists.

Life Critical Points

This is another very high energy AI themed Techno mix that goes to a few dark places at times but is mostly just very uplifting, yes...you can do that with Techno too! The mix is featuring mostly newish tunes from the likes of Cosmic Boys, Carla Ruetz, Space92, Umek HI-LO and many more, and also includes a cheecky extended live remix from myself. I had a lot of fun putting this project together and I hope you enjoy it too!
All credit to the original artists....

Our Machine Failed Us

This is a requsted re-upload of a mix recorded in 2012 in Tribute to Weirdo, aka Dom Harding. Its just over an hour of crazy hard trance madness from tunes mostly released in the late nineties.
Mixed only from Vinyl and it was a lot of fun to do...
Thanks to "Slink" for the nudge on this one ;)

Total Weirdo

I recorded this high energy Pyst Trance mix both for exercise motivation, and becuase these artists released some totally rippingly good tunes this year! Its mostly high energy Psy Trance tracks released in 2023 from the likes of; Astrix, Tropical Bleyage, Volcano on Mars, Flegma + a truely mental tune from Blazy at the end. 
All credit to these original artists, this is just for fun. 
I hope you enjoy this and maybe even get a good workout!

Ready For Adventure

This is part 13 of an anual tribute to the Awesome Carla! Its 25 tracks of Electro Swing & Swing Hop with a dash of techy tunes in there too  - but all tracks feature an Electronic  / Jazz theme. I found this one to be a tricky one to record, with a few very fast tranisitions needed...and some good timing. 
But, it was a joy to mix, as it is, a joy to have another year with Carla. I hope you enjoy it too.

Carlas Theme 13

This 90 minute mix showcases my favourite progressive house/trance tracks of late as most of these were released in 2023. 

This features (to name a few); Rhythm & Sound, Sasha Carassi,CamelPhat, Digweed & Nick Muir... and with probably my favorite track of the year to finish, from Lopezhouse.

As usual, all credit goes to the original artists here, and I hope you enjoy listening!

We Are People

I was after another mix for smashing though a heavy workload, so I jammed these tunes togther with some fun samples to keep me going.  I have to say it is also part Inspired by a recent catch up with fellow soundclouder and long time friend @somerleds who was visiting Melbourne and we had a fun time talking tunes. 
LIke his mixes, I wanted this to be a multi genre mix with some electro, breaks and a few other goodies amongst the more cruisey prog backdrop. So, there are 18 Tracks in here, and hopefully a few surprises in this mash up.   One last final credit to @Rezident for the monster track "Air" ;) Wow...just wow

Daegal Brain - Carlas Theme 10

Thanks for dropping by! I started out on radio and small clubs in NZ in the 90s before moving to the UK and playing at a lot of trance clubs in the UK & with a few gigs abroad in Ibiza and Finland. Now I am based in Australia and I love to play a very broad range of "Anything Electronic".... but in particular, Electro Swing, Psy Trance, Techno, Prog, House, the uplifting end of drum & bass (yeah that's a thing) and sometimes Trip Hop/Downtempo stuff. 

Blending tunes together and constructing a set I find deepy cathartic and joyful...and I hope the mixes here bring you pleasure, peace, or inspiration...enjoy!
