Double Whammy

When I began pulling tracks for my annual Flashbacks mix last month, I ran into what has become a frequent dilemma - too many tracks, and not enough time. So I decided, "What the hell? I'll just do TWO Flashbacks mixes." And here we are.

Harder, more electronic, and arguably dancier (if not clubbier) than the last, this mix is about 50% 80's reworks, with the rest pretty evenly split between the 70's, 90's, and early 2000's. Yes, the 80's always seems to prevail when it comes to reworks. But whether you love 'em or not, you're bound to be familiar with most of the tracks on here, and I hope you enjoy what other remixers and producers have done to them. After all, how else can you listen to Duran Duran or Journey and not feel at least a little old?

Flashback!

I am well aware that we are now a week and a half into March, but seeing as how posting this late is sort of a tradition, I think I can let it slide.

The third annual February Flashbacks installment is full of old(er) music remixed, reworked, and remade into something new. From Kansas to Milli Vanilli, and from Marvin Gaye to Metallica, this mix is a total collision of four decades of American pop culture. Admittedly, most of the stuff here is reworked from 80's and 90's hits, but there's definitely a hint of the 60's and 70's, as well as a track or two from the early 2000's. A ton of work went into perfecting this one - in my opinion it's the best of the Flashback mixes - so I hope you enjoy. Leave a comment and let me know!

February 2010

My first monthly mix of 2010, and I think it's pretty solid. There's nothing particularly unexpected here, but it should please anyone who has come to love my typical blends of house, electro, and progressive. I can almost guarantee this one will get you moving, but by all means drop me a line and let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy!

Top 31 of 2009

My end-of-year mixes have always been some of my favorites, and this year is no exception. Once again, I had a hard time narrowing down which songs deserved to be here. In fact, I had such a difficult time that I ended up with 31 instead of the usual 30. Oh well. When it's all said and done, I believe this mix represents 80 minutes of the best mainstream house and electro sounds of the 2009. Here's to 2010!

One for the road...

So another year has just about come to its end, and thus this obviously the last monthly mix of the year. I know I say this about most (all?) of my mixes, but this one has a little bit of everything. From pop, hip-hop, and rock to house, electro, and progressive, this one really does have it all. And don't worry, there are a few of those 80's reworks that people love so much thrown in here too. :)

Now that this mix is complete, I'll be hard at work putting together my top 30 songs of 2009 for my end-of-year mix. I've got a fairly good idea of which songs I'm going to include, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to throw 'em my way. Which songs were your favorites from 2009? You might just persuade me to include it in the list. Hurry, though, because I've gotta' get to work fast!

As usual, the trackl ist and download links are below. Feel free to leave a comment. Enjoy, and thanks for your continued support!

Almost December

Despite the fact that the month of November has almost passed us, I'm calling this the November mix,. I'm doing this mainly because I've once again found myself with more music than I know what to do with, and I'm going to try to crank out at least one more mix before the end of the year.

This one is mostly house and electro, with just a touch of progressive (ie one song). If you're big into progressive house this may not be the one for you. If you like the rest of my mixes, though, I think you'll really like it - lots of great electro house from all of the usual suspects.

As always, the tracklist and download links are below. Please take a moment to leave a comment if you wish. What songs did you like? What didn't you like? What did and didn't work for you? I enjoy your feedback either way, but I do hope you find yourself at least tapping your feet, if not standing up to dance wherever you are when you listen. Unless you're driving, of course. :)

EvolutionTwo

This is part two of a 160-minute set I put together over the past couple of weeks. It's pretty high-energy electro from start to finish, with tracks from many of my usual favorite remixers. If you've enjoyed my past electro house sets, I think you'll definitely like this one. In addition to a bunch of new tracks, there's also a healthy dose of 80's and 90's reworks. Perhaps a bit cheesy, I'll admit, but also a lot of fun, and exemplary of the way that as our lives change and grow, so does the music we love. Enjoy the evolution!

Note: In case you missed it, part one is available below!
