Strange World

Just in time for Halloween, a brand new, 101-minute commercial, progressive, and electro house set with many of the best tracks of the year.  Though light on the pop end of the spectrum, I think you'll find plenty here to get your toes tapping and you ears pulsing.  Throw this mix on for your Halloween party this weekend, and I can almost guarantee your guests will never want to leave.  Unless they're lame, that is.

Rich bought a new jeep a few months back, and since it came with a free year of XM radio, I've been listening to BPM quite recently.  This has no doubt influenced my musical tastes lately, as evidenced by the sheer number of commercial & progressive producers in this tracklist.  I've never been big into the driving, overly-repetetive tribal house music that often infiltrates the largest of late night gay spaces, nor have I ever been all about the diva-esque gay anthems and bubblegum "gay pop" music that seems to overload most Pride festivals (ie Cascada, Kristine W, etc).  But there has been a pretty distinct shift in my mixes from electro house and mainstream pop remixes to commercial, progressive & European house music.  Whether this will stick or not remains to be seen, I suppose. Rest assured, I do still enjoy a well-crafted electro banger now and again!

Favorite tracks here include SHM's (probably) final tune "Don't You Worry Child," Stereo Palma's "Our Love", and Chuckie's take on Neon Hitch.  I also like Klaas' work on Pulsar, Andy Harding's latest remix, and what Dzeko & Torres did with Animal Kingdom's indie rock track.  I hope you find some new favorites also.
