More Than A Feeling

Intimate (Original Mix)

Introducing "More than a Feeling" 

This is a new project that will capture all the elements of my sound - melodies & harmonies, trancey synths, cinematic strings, progressive & euphoric elements, breaks, a booming low-end, and energizing transitions - but it won’t be bound by genres.

I’ll be releasing a new set every month, targeting the 22nd, just like when I started '22 On My Mind' two years ago. 

A new chapter starts now - enjoy Volume One :)

More Than A Feeling: Volume One

September 22, 2024 | 

It was a bit of a rush to get this one done amidst a busy month of music and travel plans, but it came out beautifully. I told myself this one would be shorter, but in the end there was too much good music to share. This set is elegant, raw, and not your typical flow in genres - a peaceful start, quickly gaining momentum into trance, slowing it down to groovy afro vibes, before diving into some signature melodic techno. There's a little cinematic surprise if you make it all the way to the end. This is Volume Two. Enjoy =)

October 22, 2024 |

More Than A Feeling: Volume Three

November 22, 2024 |

Uploading this on a layover to Thailand (for a much needed vacation) feels very appropriate after the busyness of the past month. After a stretch of 5 straight weeks with shows, I've taken the last couple to re-focus on producing and on prepping for my biggest set of the year. Even with the craziness, these sets give me a chance to rebalance my sound into what I'm listening to and enjoying the most in a given season. The past month has been a hectic one for a lot of us - election season in the US, approaching the end of the year and pushing to achieve goals and deadlines before the holidays... One of the main themes in this set is simply peace, something I think we could all use. The first half of this set is rooted in that. In the second half, I deviated from my norm a bit with some tech house and even a couple melodic bass tracks for a little fun. Enjoy!

More Than A Feeling: Volume Four

Club banger created with Dances... the man behind iconic vocals for artists including Chris Lake, Matroda, Cloonee, and others. Had a fun time pulling this one together.

We wanted to do something fun reflecting a night out. WHOA! was the core idea and we established a baseline and vocal pattern that follows it. From there it was about finding ways to make the drops hit without losing danceability. This is where the lead comes in and gives the track a distinct personality.

Stoked to share this one. Shout-out to Insomniac Records and In / Rotation for believing in it. This track is part of Rotate Vol. 14.

Chris Lake x Abel Balder - Ease My Mind

February 22, 2025 | I uploaded two live sets in a row so it was nice to get back to an extended recorded set this month. February's highlight was hosting and playing direct support for Volaris -- the prolific producer behind hits like 'Slow Motion', 'Who Do You Love', and his recent remixes of 'Jaded' and 'Another World'. I even had the chance to close the night out b2b with him! Many of the tracks in this mix were from the set I played for that show, but it was fun to fill in with some other pieces I've been listening to. This set starts out quite cinematic and progressive, before detouring through some soft then harder tech house, and finally landing in melodic techno. This month was a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions with some personal stuff, so I think the variety in sound reflects that. Enjoy the set & let me know what you think!
