While we've had a couple of mixes showcasing my favourite tracks that were being smashed out on the party scene at the time as well as a studio mix from the Peak Logger & Gnetic era, this next instalment in the Mix Archive series demonstrates what I wanted to do as a DJ at the time. 

Where a lot of people want to play sets made up of their favourite tracks they've heard played  out, I always wanted to be bringing something new and individual to the table and try to bring people their favourite tracks of tomorrow. The DJ's that I appreciated the most where those that brought me tunes for the first time and I wanted to do the same. So while I was blowing half of my monthly wage on tracking down the classics, the other half was going on new music to shape my own sound. 

For me it was also important that you were taken on a journey, especially with a recorded set where the pressure to maintain a full dancefloor was absent, allowing a bit of experimentation. As a result this set covers a sprinkling of many of the genres I was listening to at the time - while mostly consisting of Hard Trance and Hardstyle, there's also a pinch of Dutch Hardcore, Uk Hardcore and some Freeform.

These tracks were largely unheard on the party scene at the time and have had equal influence in what I was doing on the production front as the tracks I was raving to each weekend in a field somewhere in Oxfordshire or the Home Counties. 

I hope you enjoy!

Italian Hardstyle 06 - Mixed By Technoboy - 2004, CD 1

Old school meets the new era in this two track EP from Hedonistic. Keeping true to his original style of chunky rhythmic basslines and splashes of 90's rave sound bites 'I Just Can't Stop' is an energetic sonorous experience littered with splashes of big synth rave arrangement whilst the main hook is a lilting melody that will take you on a journey across the dancefloor. 
Not content with limiting his production prowess to the sounds of raves gone by Hedonistic is keen to demonstrate his ear for the new era of Free Party Hard Trance.  'Psychedelic' is the harder track of the two on this EP comprising of a deep bassline, shuffling percussion, eerie FX and a hallucinogenic inspired sample. The main riff is expertly layered and executed it will no doubt generate full mosh potential.

ANIMA:404 — Hardtechno / Industrial

ANIMA:404 captures the glitch-driven, industrial side of my project: 
sharp hits, distorted pressure and a corrupted frequency running through the entire track.
Direct, fast and uncompromising built to hit hard in dark rooms.
