As one half of Union Jack, the man behind Art Of Trance, and owner of Platipus Records, Simon Berry has been instrumental in the development of the progressive house scene for the last three decades.  His recent collaboration with Luke Brancaccio produced stunning results with a run of chart topping singles on Bedrock, Platipus and Circus.

Following on from his own ground breaking excursions ’Black Rainbow’ and ‘Anaconda’, and with a signal that the universe is conspiring to guide electronic music on to a new and exciting path, Simon pushes the envelope once more with ‘Rogue Planet’.

Opening with the other worldly original, ‘Rogue Planet’ is a low slung menacing behemoth, lurking uninvited at the edge of the outer solar system.

Ominous low frequency rumblings introduce the second instalment by the hugely talented Berlin Sound Designer Torsten Fassbender.  Poised to take mass casualties on dance floors globally, this is quite possibly Torsten’s most epic remix to date.

Greek techno stalwart Christian Cambas has been destroying clubs for decades. His seminal track ‘The Outsiders’ recently passed the 2 million play mark on Spotify and is featured on the official 2020 Awakenings trailer.  Cambas unapologetically strips the original bare for maximum planetary devastation.

Rogue Planet

Simon Berry - Rogue Planet [Original Mix] Platipus

I've been listening to electronic music since I was old enough to tune into the John Peel show on Radio 1. Peel first introduced me to Chicago House, Detroit Electro and Rap. I would listen to an entire show with my finger hovering over the record button of my 'tape-recorder' close to the radio speaker just to record whatever 3 electronic imports he would play each night. I wish I'd kept those recordings.
From the moment I first heard 'Roxanne Shante' I sought out everything I could ranging from Kraftwerk, Mike Oldfield, Kurtis Mantronik, Africa Bambata, Grandmaster Flash, Gorgio Morodor, Axel-F, Jean Michel Jarre and just about anyone who used a synth to make music! With the arrival of House in the mid-late 80's the likes of Marshall Jefferson, Frankie Knuckles, Farley Jackmaster Funk, Steve Silk Hurley, Adonis and many more American underground House producers, the music had developed into a new, seriously exciting phenomena.
Music progressed at pace with House and Acid imports driving change, the UK in particular underwent an epiphany of sorts in the 80's and 90's. From Break-Dancing to New Romanticism, the music developed, finally morphing into the early genres of Acid Trance, Techno and Progressive Trance. Heavily influenced by American and underground Dutch and German artists and with the advent of clubbing and non-speaking mixing DJ's, it opened up a Pandora's box of new music, influences, sounds and styles. What that amounted to for me (and most others like me) was an ever-growing range of electronic music that was continually breaking free from pigeon-holes and mainstream pop culture. Electronic music had become the new classical music of a generation.
I can only say that electronic or computer music has evolved beautifully in the past 40 years and I love it as much now as the day I first heard John Peel play fantastic American imports.
I'm not anything more than a bedroom DJ and electronic music enthusiast. I have the greatest admiration for those who DJ publicly and seek to build a following or career from DJing, but that’s not a path I’ve tried to follow. I do love to put together great tunes, so for me using this sort of platform for sharing music is perfect for me. I do mixes both on my decks and using Ableton, as sometimes I find it easier to create a journey through that medium. 
As for making music, I’m slowly finding my way around Ableton in order to bring life to the musical ideas rolling around my head. 
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the mixes I post, please give me some feedback and if nothing else, support the artists themselves and buy their music.
