Special August Promo Mixes

Wednesday, August 2nd, 2006

The August promo mix of “BOOM” is now up for download. But this month, I’ve got something special to celebrate the summer months with. This month I’ve decided to release two mixes instead of just the regular! With the increase of demand into house music these days, my style is moving in the direction of house related music instead of just trance. Don’t worry though, everything still has a trance feel about it so I’m not going over to the house (dark)side, just experimenting with a mixture in styles. I’ve always said that I will not be genre bound, but play the best songs. So hopefully this is staying true and showing the versatility.

The first mix (linked in the regular spot) is the usual from me: a mixture of house, electro, and trance. I’ve been addicted to Gabriel and Dresden’s edit of Robbie Rivera’s “Float Away” so that is definetly not one to miss. Adding in the trance feel is a fantastic new promo from Blackhole’s new digital download section from none other than Phynn, bringing us “Treasure Island”.

The second mix is my flavour of a house demo. Made for a selection of promoters and clubs this is how I would play a more house oriented set. Sure it dips into the trancier side, but it still has that overall four on the floor house sound to it throughout. A little more variety for you this month. Hope you enjoy. Links and tracklisting at the jump.
