2012 April Into the Deeper End
April 27, 2012 03:26 - 1 hour - 110 MBInto the Deeper End Grab a book, dim the lights, ignite the candles, close your eyes and let yourselves go.. After my foray into Tranceland, I felt the need to go Deep, with minimal to no samples , vocals, nor edits and just work on finding very current tunes from the Deeper end that would mix well. Some may find it boring, others will soak in it blissfully. 11 out of 13 tracks were released from late march to late april 2012. It does not get more current than this. Playlist:...
2012 April Do You Remember Your First Time?
April 20, 2012 15:51 - 1 hour - 110 MBDo You Remember Your First Time? Ready for a session in my beloved Trouse (Trance+House)? Prince, Chicane, Fragma, Morgan Page, Above & Beyond, Nadia Ali, Tritonal. Give me some credit for the talent I gathered in this one! Originally it was supposed to be 2 consecutive sets dwelling in my beloved fusion of Trance and House aka Trouse. Depending if I want to spend another fortnight at 135 bpm, I may or may not upload the second part. To be consumed ONLY if you feel like pick-me...
2012 March For A Modern Family ( Cos' You're Beautiful)
March 08, 2012 09:51 - 1 hour - 146 MBFor a Modern Family ( Cos' You're Beautiful) Set mixed with my 2 dear friends, J & V, in mind. With all my love and support before the new arrival. J this is is FOR YOU! Happy, sweet, beachy tunes with a couple of new twists on old favoutites such as “Missing” and “ Beautiful” . Viv and I use to hum “ Beautiful” when Luc was born, I hope this set will be your theme song as well. Playlist Intro Come With Me ( Martin Solveig sample) 2011 Way Back (DJ Smash Brooklyn Tech Voca...
2012 February Deep in My kind of Groove
February 23, 2012 01:38 - 1 hour - 109 MB**WARNING NOT FOR MINORS ** Deep in my kind of Groove A few months ago this podcast was selected (as part of a random sample of online music), for a doctoral study by the Musicology Dept of UMich. Amongst the "open" questions I was asked was the following one: " Are there any of your sets you would like to make public but haven't due to self-censorship or fear that your target audience will not be interested?" Got me thinking.. This set is an example of what I would not have nor...
2012-02-14 Happy Valentine's Day! ( Bonne Saint Valentin )
February 13, 2012 11:03 - 1 hour - 145 MB2012-02-24 Happy Valentine’s Day ( Bonne St. Valentin ) As the Intro says “ For all the lovers in the House tonight”. First mix of 2012.. All about Divas.. pity I did not have time to slot in Whitney, she would have blended right in.. A blend of classic, soulful, funky vocal gems scattered on my hard drive. My Valentine's gift to the House community at large. Whilst it is far from buying as polished as I would have liked it to be (little spare time currently), the set is solid ...
2011 NY7 30/4
December 28, 2011 23:37 - 1 hour - 109 MBNY7 4/30 ... Title is a little brain teaser ... Work it out. I was working on what could be on the menu for New Year's and whipped this one off in no time. Semi-live, straight out of Traktor with no re-editing or re-mastering whatsoever.. So compared with the 50+ versions I normally do, this is a tad raw and unpolished. Funky tunes, upbeat, catchy French and Balearic Trance & House.. Being doubtful this trial for a New Year set will fit the crowd on the day, though I will use so...
2011 Dec Liquid
December 19, 2011 01:44 - 1 hour - 181 MBLiquid Trance Mission. On a Trance Mission! If you do not like trance, be it a 120 or 140 bpm, keep well away! You are warned! But if you are missing those days, download or stream and DO NOT SCROLL, this set is a Journey !!! Once upon a time in Melbourne, Australia, there was an underground dance collective called “Liquid”. It was a private, somewhat secret, dance club, which, once every two months, would send an sms to its members and announce on the day where the next reunion ...
2011 Dec Take Your Time Young Man
December 08, 2011 23:50 - 1 hour - 145 MB2011 Dec "Take Your Time Young Man.." Obviously a wink and a nod to the mini "Mama Used to Say" mix and a private message to my nine year old son.. I am almost” housed-out” running out of good material and about to venture into Tranceland to get ready for the end of year festivities... Furthermore, in light of valuable comments posted on the web, I must confess that I did listen and have consequently tamed down the “gratuitous” sampling in this episode. The gist of “Take Your Tim...
2011 November Just Come with Me...
November 09, 2011 11:40 - 1 hour - 143 MBJust Come with Me! Here is what I got up to whilst travelling in Asia.. Deep House with a soft & sexy undertone, add a sprinkling of tech-house with a dash of hip-hop. The ambition of blending it all might have been betrayed by the execution but what the heck.. I had fun with this one. Join my journey and fly with me into the Deeper, sexy side. The set is melodic but eclectic and at times...challenging. It includes some original edits and two samples, which I could not identify (...
2011 Oct The Remain of a Beautiful Moment (Cosmic Background Radiation)
October 06, 2011 11:16 - 1 hour - 144 MBTo Chill, to Lounge, to Cuddle, to Love, to softly Dance but MOSTLY to immerse yourself in the Music! Chill house music with at the beginning a distinct ambient vibe. This set will make you... Happy.. This set will make you...Smile.. When was the last time you heard 16 good tunes in a row? This is Cafe Del Mar and Hotel Costes as they should have stayed, but the faulty amateur version :) A collection of my favourite chill-out beach tunes.. All (but one) chosen for their melodic a...
2011 Sept The Sweeter Side of России :( Bear is going away :(
September 22, 2011 12:56 - 1 hour - 144 MBSarah, this one is for you! Safe travel. We shall miss Bear and are expecting to be kept informed of its future Catalonian adventures.. Incidently we will miss you as well.. For the Barcelona bound Sarah & Bear: a vocal, beachy, breeezy, groovy and sometimes deep set. Beffiting the occasion of your going away.. with schadenfreunde, lots of sugar but also a dollop of spices and a dash of tears. Initially mixed in Russia but recompiled here to fit the occasion andgive the new KOT " ...
2011 Sept Going Deep in China
September 08, 2011 07:01 - 1 hour - 179 MBIf any of you do not know what Deep Houseis , this set is a good introduction to it.. Deep House is what you put when you want to read a book or when you do not want the music to directly take over your mind but insideously and slowly you WILL fall under the spell of the Deep.. This is my take on Deep. Mixed whilst I was going "Deep in China", on the road for 5 days.. Hope you enjoy! Intro Praeludium Herb’s House 2010 D O U H M (Original Mix). Karol XVII & MB Valence ...
2011 August For the "V" in L.O.V.E.
August 21, 2011 13:00 - 1 hour - 143 MBViv's birthday mix... χρόνια πολλά! Bon Anniversaire! Happy Birthday! A happy "wake-me up" mix of trance with a dash of progressive house. If you yearn for uplifting trouse, this is a fair set.. The household had been asking for some new tunes and I could hardly cut them my next one "Aural Sex" without social services intervening. And all up, Trouse is what Viv likes the most.. I hope you like it V. I certainly had fun mixing it. I still can't really use my left arm so please do ...
2011 August Aural Sex
August 19, 2011 01:46 - 1 hour - 180 MBOnce a year or so, I have this yearning to play around with the most erotic, sensual, sexiest, naughty and most explicit tunes I collect. And it becomes a Darkroom Mix... For late at night, when things get hazy. This one is all about Sex and is NOT suitable for children. You are forewarned. This set is far from being technically perfect but the idea is that once you get into the groove, you will want to see how naughty I got... What tickles my fancy can be a rythm, a beat, lyrics...
2011 July The Pirate Bar Set (Hydra, Greece)
July 13, 2011 17:33 - 1 hour - 145 MBSet dropped for Wendy, Zara, Takis & Zeus at the Pirate Bar in Hydra, Greece. For the coolest bar on the port of Hydra, for our dear, dear friends, I am uploading this set, which is a slightly expanded version of the live set. Only 45 minutes of the set were usable but I hope the extended version retains that “live feel”. Groovy, sun-filled grooves with a slight gospel edge.. Jamie Lewis would be my favourite live DJ, Remixer, Producer and Creator , so here is the selection.. B...
2011 For Charlie & Lola (and their beautiful and very patient Mother)
May 05, 2011 09:27 - 1 hour - 108 MBThis one is for my kids.. We made a deal: They promised that they would behave in the car if I made them their own Mix and if I were to actually publish it.. Here it is. More of a mixtape collection of their favourite current tunes than anything else.. at best this is a 'radio mix".. I did not want to spend too much time on it and really neither Charlie nor Lola really care whether it was carefully mixed and remastered.. They just want to hear THEIR tunes over and over and over ...
2011 Plug It In & Turn Me On (Pt.2) aka "Denise's Birthday Treat"
March 17, 2011 11:05 - 1 hour - 144 MBPlug It In & Turn Me On (Pt.2) aka "Denise's Birthday Treat". Denise: I do hope you like the "treat"... I know I am late but it took a while to get it right.. Furthermore good luck on your new adventure.. Picking up where I left it with Part 1. Funky Sexy House & Trouse. Put on your dancing shoes, drop your inhibitions and let yourselves go. Current House/Trouse with a couple of oldies. A Xtian original with the "Yak Yaak Boom" edit of King of My Castle (my first GarageBand ventur...
2011 Feb Spring Came Early on Tahrir Square
February 18, 2011 13:56 - 1 hour - 71.9 MBHello and Happy New Year since this is the first instalment in 2011. "Spring came early on Tahrir Square" To make clear this is NOT a political statement as such and I will moderate (delete ;=) any political rant if I were to get any. Furthermore, let me say that for Europeans I would be labelled as a rabid ultra-liberal neo-con and in the States as a pinky liberal socialist softy.. Funny how the word "liberal" takes opposite meanings accross the Atlantic divide. Anyhow, the mi...
2010 November A Deep Love of Soul (Kathy G Edit)
November 25, 2010 19:30 - 2 hours - 196 MBThe Love of Love, the Love of Deep House, the Love of Soul and the Love of Funk 2h20 mins of LOVE..I wanted Viv to like this one, hence, I had to try, whilst keeping it somewhat Deep to make it fun.. Jury is still out as to whether we will actually give it a tick of approval. As for me, I do love this set, which I see as one of my best efforts to create an original soundscape. This version is Kathy G edit.. Thanks Kathy I am loving the collaboration! With you, I am learning that le...
2010 April 3 Words For Vivienne
April 07, 2010 10:46 - 1 hour - 180 MBI Had a request from Viv (my wife !!) to do a fun, " hands up in the air", vocal trance/house mix for her and the kids. Here it is! Highlights are: Forever and a Day, massive tune from Fragma, and King of My Castle 2009 (what a remix!). I tried very hard to mix moroder style Donna Summer & Hey Hey Riva Starr (be kind) So handbags down on the ground, circle up and starts dancing.. This one is unashamedly vocal, commercial, discofied.. Yet, you'll find some gems such as the new Mo...
