Last night (Dec. 26th) I released my Top 20 of 2006 on Party107.com for my weekly radioshow BOOM. This year’s list was organized in a set form, instead of just a list form.

There is a remix competition going on over at Beatport.com in association with M-Audio and V2 Records to remix the 1991 classic tune by Moby: Go.

Even though there is no way I can win anything personally (”contest open only to residents of the United States”) I figured it would fun to see what I could come up with. You can check out a sample of the remix on my MySpace page.

More contest information after the jump.

Back in February of 2006, I had a 1hr guestmix on Radio Asphalt in Murmansk, Russia. From what I’ve been told it went over quite well and the host of the show, Alexey Sonar asked me to come back as a resident.

Well, I’m back and this time it’s a 2hr exclusive set with a short interview as well. Check out the bad-ass poster that was designed up for the event below for more information. I’ll post a tracklist after the set airs.

This is it; the final monthly mix of 2006. I felt a bit sad as I was making this as I hate to say goodbye to 2006 as it’s been a fantastic year. However, things seem to be only getting better and better, so onward to 2007!

Starting things off we have the collaboration between Lange and Podcast extraordinaire Gareth Emery with the lovely Back on Track. Following up is Leon Bolier and Cliff Coenraad bringing us the chunky and techy Mighty Ducks which is getting great support from artists such as Sander van Doorn. Next up is one of my favorite tunes from 2003: Solid Globe’s Sahara. But since this is 2006, we’ve got a great rework by none other than Alex M.O.R.P.H. to put the spin on a classic trance tune and mashing it up with North Pole.

Rounding up the mid section of the mix are three floor fillers starting off with the always bangin’ Mac and Mac with appropriately titled Rippin’ Bass. Nearing the end of the mix we have three absolutely massive tunes. Finally the trance scene gets another dose of Jesselyn with the absolutely massive Contact. If there was ever a follow-up to Omnia, this is definitely it. Then we have a wonderful remix by Thomas Bronzwaer with Giuseppe Ottaviani’s already great tune Through Your Eyes. And rounding off this mix and 2006, I bring you my tune of the year: Greg Downey - Vivid Intent.

Enjoy this month’s set. Tracklisting and more information after the jump.
