Driftless Mix

I am almost 40 and like a lot of the Xennial micro-generation I've come down with an acute case of nostalgia for the mid 2000s, even if looking back it was kind of an awful time for everything but dance music. I tried to balance it with some deep cuts from the last 10 years as well, with mixed results.

Driftless Mix - Volume 1

Less nostalgia here, testing out some combinations of genres.

I took the original version of this mix down because I felt like it leaned too pop and too much on nostalgia. Tried to give a couple key tracks more space.

Driftless Mix Vol 2b

And then there's treating things I might have some nostalgia with a clinical surgical stare. Find the future in pieces of the past, or maybe just find a decent beat. 

This one gets ..  experimental.

Driftless Mix 3a

There are still some nostalgic tracks embedded in this mix, but at different tempos than they are normally played and in a very different context. 

Shout out to the r/Overload community for some of these track recommendations, this is supposed to be as weird and out there as a UAP divebombing Viroqua, WI.

Driftless Mix Volume 4

I'm abandoning nostalgia here.

This music mostly was released while I was in grade school, definitely someone else's nostalgia. I'm generally allergic to anything that goes over a 160 BPM and wish that jungle had directly morphed into UKG and breakbeat garage instead of modern drum and bass. 

Darkcore 2024, go back to go FWD.

Driftless Mix Vol 5

Much love and respect to the original rave crew, I was still in grade school when they were pushing this sound as hard as you can. Especially love to the Midwest people. 

A lot of this music literally wasn't intended to be mixed together, breakbeat hardcore and hard techno had some major differences of opinion. Also there's some EBM.
