I was a bit behind schedule this year in getting my New Years’ mix down. My apologies to all… being a Dad is busy work sometimes. But the mix is ready for your listening pleasure! I chose to feature this mix on the Tastyfresh Homegrown podcast (which I am the host of), so it’s available exclusively from there. There was sooooo much good music this year, it just doesn’t stop!

Breakfast – Remember

We’ve had a pretty busy summer with many visitors, and I realized the other week that I hadn’t even touched my DJing gear since April. Which is a tragedy. Yesterday I finally found some time to spend with my music, and you get to enjoy not 1, but 2 mixes. In the can is Beatitudes Volume 4, and I filled it up to being a 2 part-er.

Get it here. I do hope you enjoy, it’s packed full of awesome trance and prog house. There’s honestly so much good music right now, it’s blowing my mind.

Maija and I have had a lovely Christmas with family in Finland, and then spent a few days with friends. Tonight we’re off to party at a cottage with another bunch of friends, and so I shall wish you a Happy New Years!

As is my custom, I offer a new years eve mix, commemorating 2008. Please enjoy responsibly.

2008 has been an excellent year for trance and house music. Just superb. And I think my New Years mix reflects that. We start off showcasing some juicy prog house, and gradually move into some of the best trance music I’ve come across in years. Biggups to all these artists, who are producing great music! And biggups to you for completing another year. Have a great new years celebration and an even better 2009.

I’ve finally finished laying down the next installment of my regular trance and progressive series:

Download it here.

The third installment in my Beatitudes series comes at a slight delay since the others. I’ll blame the summer, and a lazy attitude. I’ve picked another 10 beautiful tracks from the last few months, sure to keep you happy as the autumn approaches, or the spring advances, depending on where you live. Trance music is alive and well around the world, and here’s another 55 minutes of proof.

Hawk – Out of Nowhere (Joonas Hahmo remix)
Paul Keeley – A Sort of Homecoming (Michael Cassette remix)
The Jay Lumen Vibe – Siren
Adam Nickey – Shift (Tom Cloud remix)
Embrace – Embrace (Ferry Fix mix)
Arnej – They Always Comes Back
Mohawk – Celestia (Noel Sanger remix)
Prospekt – Electrofly (Nitrous Oxide mix)
Mirco de Govia – Evolution Part 2 (Stoneface & Terminal remix)
Envio – For You (the Blizzard remix)

Download it here.

I swore I’d make this a series, and a series it is. Volume 2 is out now, hot on the heels of volume 1.

From the page:

Bigger, Bolder and Better, Beatitudes Vol 2 is here!
Seriously friends, as much fun as I had putting the last one together, there’s too much incredible music coming out. From artists like Dinka. Amazing. This one starts off where the last finished, pushing a little past the electro sound, and bringing some big prog trance melodies in. We even take a little trip on the psy side. Enjoy!

Tracklist:
Inkfish, Cid Inc – Summerfrost (Tronso remix)
Dinka – Temptation
In Progress & Omnia – Avalanche (Omnia remix)
Randy Boyer & Hydroid – Strike Again (ASOT)
Prospekt – Ocean Breeze
W&W – Mustang
Sander van Doorn “Pura Vida” (Doorn)
Andy Moor, DJ Orkidea – Yearzero
Orpheus – No Others
Ilya Soloviev – Sunwaves (static blue)
Markus Shulz vs Andy moor – Daydream

Get it here.

I dropped a new mix just before heading out to Toronto and hadn’t got around to uploading it till just now. I’m really happy with this one, I think it’s the direction I want to go as far as trance music is concerned.

From the page:

I’ve spent some time collecting a bunch of really beautiful new tunes, and felt it was time for a mix series. Here’s the first volume of Beatitudes. I love it, I hope you do to.

Go here to get it.

I know it’s early, I normally save this till New Year’s, but that’s not gonna work this year. This is probably my favourite mix yet, the stuff I picked up this year just blows my mind. Please, download, spread it around.

From the mix page:

The annual New Year’s mix is a little early this year as I’ll be in NZ for New Year’s and am not bringing my gear. But early’s good in this case, cause this mix is a real treat! 2007 has brought us some great music; I just can’t get enough of Joonas Hahmo (2 tracks here, he’s also the guy behind Alt+F4). Special respect should also go to The Chemical Brothers who’s “We Are the Night” album was a highlight of this year for me. I tried to get something of theirs into this mix, but it wasn’t happening.

Anyway, enjoy! And let me know what you think.
