After a hard disk upgrade to my laptop and setting up SaMBa, I can now do my mixing directly from the hard disk in my laptop rather than having to plug in an external hard disk. This not only means that the whole thing is much more stable (no wobbly USB connectors to come out and bork my entire session mid-mix) but quicker to use (getting Windows running in VMWare to recognise the USB disk took ages and sometimes didn't work at all). All that work inspired me to get into mixing again, the result being this little number.
I'm continually amazed by the X-Dream album "Irritant". It is very much what it says - heavy drum lines, lots of otherworldly sounds and minimal melodies - but it absolutely rocks. I'm less sure about going into Ancient Future - boy I wish Third Eye were still around making their great sounds - and from there into the minimal Mutteki remix of Labyrinth, but they're both favourites. From there the mix broadens out slightly before getting into some classic trance.

These mixes are only available as complete files and I do not trade in the albums that these tracks are compiled from. On the other hand, I welcome feedback of any description about the mix, especially if you have recommendations of tracks I might like. My email address is at the bottom of the page.
I welcome any suggestions, criticisms and recommendations for new music to listen to. I will consider doing specific mixes for people, but this is only a hobby. Hope to hear from you!
