Tried to look up some “mellow” records yesterday, but it turns out most of them are in storage. This old mellow mix has been offline for quite a while, so I attempted a new one. It is not very well done, but hey, I am getting old as well.

Some artists, trax etc in no particular order:

• MK – Burning
• That string track
• Wladimir M stuff
• Robert Owens, Mr Fingers (Distant Planet)
• Some Alleviated records
• Slam – Positive Education

* The Seven Stars

For my first post in almost a year, I’ve made a retrospective of this year’s releases. This mix contains tracks from all the records I bought that were released this year, excluding rereleases (except Renaissance). Conclusion: a good year for house, and I’m not talking about minimal electrohouse bollocks. Also some electronix and some (dub) techno in the second half of this 2 hour+ mix.

This is it – the Hiphouse megamix that rocked the scene back in the days…

I remember there being a competition to try and select the three Hiphouse tracks that do not suck well, this one is loaded with those kind of tracks.

Hardcore Hiphouse Never Dies!

Another mix I did a little while ago, this time no electronix but good old house & acid featuring some of the usual suspects like a.o. Frankie Knuckles, Jamie Principle, Mr. Fingers, Virgo, Armando, Sterling Void, etc. etc.

After watching escape from NY I got the idea to do a mix with tracks that sound like they could be part of a soundtrack. Realisation took a little while, but at least it’s more fitting now at the end of summer. The end result features no songs of actual soundtracks, instead expect some of Jeff Mills’ more experimental outings, some dark The Hague electronix, some artists usually doing IDM, not too many beats, and some playing with the mood of the mix.
