Summer is here and clubs and festivals are restarting - here is a new mix to kick your summer off right!

Better Days

This mix is an evolution of my sound and a return to my underground roots. You'll notice some similarities in the sound here to the beginning of Better Days when I was just discovering some of the amazing melodic house and techno being released. On the surface you might find this mix rather mellow but if you turn up the volume and bass you'll find it has that classic Don Golden, hooky, driving, upbeat sound. Enjoy!

Small Moves

A new mix to get you through the rest of winter! Solstice follows my typical format starting deep and groovy and slowing building to full blown club goodness. Sure to get you moving and shake off that winter chill - enjoy!

Solstice

Apogee has two definitions. It's both the highest point of something and the point in our moon's orbit that is furthest from the sun. I love using celestial terms to name mixes but in this case, I think the non-celestial definition is most appropriate. Over the summer, I had my first proper introduction to afro house and knew I had to incorporate it into my sound. As I began digging in, I found an extremely diverse genre but the side that tips into progressive house is a perfect opener for my beloved, driving melodic sounds. I absolutely love every song in this mix which isn't always the case as dj's must commonly use connecting tracks to move from one place to another that aren't always the strongest. I hope you love this mix as much as I do - enjoy!

Well, hello again! I'm back after a 12 year hiatus and loving all the music out now. Hopefully my old fans will notice the similarities in my sound today vs yesterday. Progressive, melodic, driving and always fun and high energy - enjoy!
