Obsession Sessions

When you find someone who inspires you to do better; respect yourself more; and know your own value, keep them close. Return the favor. Life is short.

This mix is my mission statement. It's a story. It's an impression. It's yours now.

Obsession Sessions III: Illusion of Control

No funky intro. This is a mini Obsession Session with a few sequences from OS III, except it's 75% smaller at about 80 minutes. It's a teaser for my second attempt at Obsession Sessions III. I felt like I could do better, and I'm upping the tracks from 60 to 80. So it will probably clock at six hours. We'll see. In the meantime, enjoy some EBM, Darkwave, Dark Disco, and Witch House.

I made my first basic edit in Rekordbox of Geistech's "Tried". Just moved some parts and gave it structure to fit better between the tracks before and after. Happy to hear feedback. I didn't chuck it into Logic Pro, but I'm going to give it a go. Maybe add some harmony.

Most of the other tracks were edited to smooth out the intro/ outro runways for smoother transitions. A lot of tracks in the dark genres aren't super beat-match friendly. It came out pretty close to how I wanted it to sound. Not perfect, but close to my goal!

All tracks are lossless. Comment, like, and share if you dig! Enjoy.

Also, if you like any of the tracks, I encourage you to buy them in lossless format and find a dark place to listen to it with a good sound system or a nice pair of headphones. These artists are giving us their soul so we can make it another day with that fleeting sense of inspiration; so be sure to buy their merch if you dig them and check out their shows/ events if you can!

Obsession Sessions 3.1: Love Profession

As the son of a professional flamenco singer, Thomas has always been surrounded by music.  Exposure to flamenco influenced him because it has a dynamic range of emotions—from the "deep singing" style of cante hondo, to the more lively alegrias.  He has also worked in the corporate, independent, and online music industry for a number of years.  At one point he was a Content Manager for the Electronic Music genre at MP3.com, where he screened over 500 songs per day.  Exposure to a wide range of music explains the range of genres in his mixes—he uses whatever carries the mood.  From listening to Umm Kulthum's "Enta Omri" in his childhood, to New Wave and  Industrial as a teen, it became difficult for him to stick to one sound. Though vinyl was his original format of choice when he started in the 90s, the use of digital mixing has helped him better form soundscapes to expand your headspace.  Let him play with your moods for a spell.
