Mix Cds

Found me via the TRAKTOR x LNOE mix? It was nice to have a bit of momentum after that was uploaded! Well I tend to be a bit mercurial in mood, so here are a few mixes that might fit the bill when it comes to wanting pure expansive electronica. Absolute bangers are towards the end, so the mood intensifies as you go along.

Many mixes, stretching back from over a decade ago before my time writing for websites.

came for LNOE, stay for ME

these are all the ones that resonated with you, vaguely arranged in popularity when I have a moment to update.

TRAKTOR X LNOE Mix

I needed to do something different: I've been through shorter mixes, the regular 25-30 tracks in an 80min session, lots of layering and precise arrangements... I thought I'd do the opposite for once. 16 tracks and a shade over 3 hours.

Each track is pushing past the 11/12min mark, I let them play out mostly, barely mixed, looking for those transitions that feel like shifting stages on Outrun.

I tried to the keep the tracks multifaceted, engrossing, no "sounds of Jupiter" wind trax here. Set aside some time or eat in a few sessions.

Neutron 9000 - Beryl's Psychedelic Cleaning
Convextion - B1 (From Acido 22)

Continuing to explore the new wave of 90's vibed eletronic artists and labels. The aim: evoking the spirit of Northern Exposure sessions with a focus on vibe and atmosphere.

the way life goes

After about three years away from crafting full length mixes, I've made a return to the classic Balance 2CD mix format of one deep / one not. 

The first mix steps out deeply with Dauwd before cycling through productions from Sleep D, The Field, Kelly Lee Owens, Artefakt, Plaid, Nathan Micay, before ending up with an archive cut from Sasha's recent DETAT series.

A complete shift in intensity sees the second mix tour the likes of Anastasia Kristensen, Earth Trax, Special Request, more from Sleep D and Kelly Lee Owens, Shedbug, with an archive cut from Aaron Palmquist propping up the session.

As usual, the arrangement comes with many nights of repeated mastering in order to get the gloss, but without sacrificing the intensity.

trance

house

I've written for a whole spectrum of music outlets - from Data Transmission to Inverted Audio, the much loved Ibiza Voice and even contributions to FACT and Fabric. Mainly, this involves listening to sounds, deciding whether I like them or not, and then making words happen about them.

Sometimes the sounds find their way onto mixes (when I have the time between dealing with children and a demanding day job) some of which you can hear on here.

My sounds are myriad. One mix does not sound like the next.
