As always a beautiful mix dude. Keep it up!

Lapse [Minimal Groove Concept]

wo Brazilian artists, Tabbi (from São Paulo) and Leca (from Florianópolis), met in New York, thousands of miles from home, yet instantly recognized something familiar — the pulse of Brazilian soul beating in their hearts. Coming from opposite ends of the country, each carried her own accent, memories, and unique cultural repertoire.

What began as a simple musical exchange soon became something greater: the start of a true friendship and an artistic partnership that now binds us forever.

During the creation of Tom da Raiz, we realized we were composing more than just a song. We were weaving our stories together, translating into sounds and words what it means to be a woman, an artist, and a Brazilian living far from Brazil. This track is an intimate manifesto about belonging, the courage to follow one’s own path, and the resilience needed to keep the essence alive despite distance and challenges.

The vocal-poem, written in Portuguese, speaks of resistance, strength, and courage — an open letter to all women who, like us, hold on to their dreams and identities, even when the world seems to demand they bend:

- Deixa o tempo desenhar as respostas
- Nem tudo se pede, nem tudo se força
- O rio não apressa o encontro com o mar
- O vento não empurra o que já sabe voar…

Each verse is a reminder that there is strength in silence, beauty in waiting, and freedom in staying true to yourself. It’s about finding balance between longing and freedom, between memory and future.

The name Tom da Raiz is a tribute to what shapes and sustains us. It represents our origins, our stories, and the pride of being who we are. It’s the echo of our roots resonating, even oceans away, reminding us that everything essential remains.

Hey hey! It's Autumn time and the perfect weather for some lovely progressive house music. This one starts with some lush sounds, but builds into twists and turns that'll shake your bits and bobs. The dancefloors and clubs seem far away right now, but hopefully this will remind you of what it's all about.

My single hour set for Digitally Importeds 21st Birthday Celebrations. 

What an achievement it is, to survive and thrive for 21 years on the global stage. Congratulations to Digitally Imported.

I've celebrated this occasion, with some of the best tracks of the year, from my collection. with something a little bit special added at the end from myself this year, the file is a meditative piece I have written for my ears only in the last year, whilst I have decided to play two of my own productions, I would absolutely adore it if you took out the time to give your thoughts on the very last track in the mix.

Let's work to a better 2021 and beyond.

No Tracklist recorded this time around.

Dark Architect - Digitally Imported 21st Birthday 2020

PFG are proud to release our third Mix Collection, the group's selection box of the years best tracks, picked by all of our members. In a year when our listening preferences and privileges have been changed forever, the music was thankfully forever constant, and not once did it leave us wanting for more. 

The quality of the music on display here demands we pick three of the best DJs we could lay our hands on. Fortunately we didn't have to look to far to find an array of worthy contenders. The final trio consist of Anäis Ley, an undiscovered angel we found through our Exclusive Series earlier in the year. her mix simply blew us away, and it seemed absolutely the perfect choice to get her to kick this off. Jimi Falconer is no stranger to the underground house scene, owner of Plethora Music, a source of the finest unreleased progressive music anywhere on the planet. And its these tracks which he spins for us on the Alchemy Live Streams for PFG, rapidly gaining a wider more refined audience. We end the mix with one of Progressive House's Icons. DJ,Producer,Remixer,Label Owner,Resident for some of the worlds finer clubbing brands, Chris Cargo has been there, done that and worn a t-shirt better than most. Showing no signs of stopping, PFG were truly honoured to have him mix a stunning podcast earlier in the year, and for Chris to take part in this mix is amongst the highlights of the year for us. 

So here it is, nearly 5 golden hours of tunes from 2020, a year we are never going to forget. Here's to a brighter 2021 where we can dance together again to the tunes we have here. Love from PFG.

We are delighted to bring you our 10th Exclusive Series Mix from one of our own, a resident who regularly contributes to our Alchemy Live Streams (alternate Fridays on Mixcloud) ~ Craig Pailing.  

Craig is a key contributor to our brand, but he has been invited to do an Exclusive Series Mix in his own right.  A DJ of considerable talent, great musicality, with a real gift for melody; he never fails to deliver and he brings with it that bliss, as quality melodic DJs do.  

His music makes you feel good.  

His Dire Straits - Money for Nothing intro on our live streams has become well known and loved by our regular listeners, and once it kicks off you know you're in for a treat, Craig never disappoints.  

This mix is amazing, a round up of Craig's favourite tunes of the past FIVE years.  Superbly blended, hard to describe - you just have to listen.  A very skilled offering with a lot of love put into it.  

Let's hear from Craig...

Firstly, I’d like to thank Il Modo for asking me to put together this guest mix.  I have used this opportunity to showcase some of the best melodic, deep progressive house and have put together this 2.1/2 hour mix which features 21 different tracks from 21 different artists on 21 different labels – carefully selected from my back-catalogue from the past 5 years.

I am a DJ from Birmingham, UK, and Co-Label Manager of Plethora Muzik alongside my DJ partner – who I am sure most of you know – Jimi Falconer.

For the past 30 years, since buying my first pair of decks, I have been playing, and hunting down, the best music in the industry.  The music I source has progressed from the early days of rave, piano house and breakbeat to a more melodic and deeper progressive sound.

In 2015 I teamed up with my old friend, Jimi Falconer, who was then running his own label (Plethora Muzik) and he invited me to join and develop it alongside him.

Over the past few years, I have been honoured to guest mix for various events and radio shows including supporting the likes of Blue Amazon and Dave Seaman.  Jimi & I have also enjoyed success with our monthly Alchemy Data Transmission radio show, which is now moving into its 3rd year.

2020 was an interesting year where sadly some events were postponed, but it also gave myself and Jimi the opportunity, when invited, to conjoin Plethora Muzik with the crew to create the Alchemy Live Show, this has been streaming consistently 2-3 times a month since April.

2021 is looking more positive for the industry and there are going to be some more exciting things on the horizon.

Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did putting it together.

Cheers - Craig

We hope you enjoy this mix, feel free to comment and share if you do. Lots of love from Craig.
