I'm in the throes of a rather deep healing process, unburdening myself from generations of very limiting patterns and conditioning. While these served as reflexive, protective mechanisms early on in life, with adulthood came increasing awareness of their presence and they grew into hindrances, preventing me from realising the potential I'd once envisioned for myself.
Since I started DJing again in 2007 (after a six year hiatus from something that's been in my life since 1984), a major block has come in the form of being unable (or unwilling) to put my mixes up for public scrutiny. There was nothing more painful than playing uplifting and inspiring sets to myself at home, then having to watch all of that vital creative energy turn into an exercise in mental frustration as soon as I'd hit the record button. Three years is a long time to be stuck.
Obviously, getting over this involves recording my sets with increased frequency, and also making them available for other to listen to. I've slowly been developing my three turntable skills since I first endeavoured to up the ante around 1999, with much of the fine tuning having taken place in the last three years. Improvisation has also become a vital aspect of what I do – aside from selecting records that fit my mood, I never plan out my sets, instead preferring to let the symbiotic relationship between the music and my body serve as my guide. Up until now, I've rarely felt comfortable with sharing this process, only releasing intermittent output that often still reflected the lingering stiffness of my persona.
Classics, Hidden Gems and Secret Weapons is an hour-long step in the right direction. Along with regular time spent practising, a combination of yoga, meditation, running, bodywork and attention to diet has proven invaluable in getting me to this point, where I can release a warts-and-all mix that I feel is a decent representation of where I am, and also where I'm headed. I do have to apologise for a few audio glitches that are present – unfortunately, the line in for recording on my laptop is broken, and the inexpensive usb to audio adaptor I'm using seems to pick up radio signal, resulting in a few static-y sections that you'll have to endure, lower the volume on, or skip through altogether. There isn't much new material (hoping to be able to afford current wax again at some point!), there are a couple of wobbly bits (we all have 'em), and one or two near bailouts (those too) – otherwise, this is the kind of deep and dirty business that I endeavour to bring to the dancefloor every time I step into the booth.
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope that you enjoy dancing to this mix as much as I did while recording it.

It has been a long time that I've been wanting to share my mix on TA and I was just waiting for the right time.
This is my latest mix that I just finished. The mix is e blend of progressive psy and a touch on the full on psy side of things. I hope you guys enjoy it and and advise/suggestions are always welcome.
Return from Aqua Marcia (2.5 Hrs of Progressive, Tribal, Tech House & Techno)
My first set posted here in a while folks and I hope you all enjoy it, feedback welcome, and if you are really interested in keeping up to date, follow me on my soundcloud account, thank you!
OVERVIEW
This set is my first in a while, and while I started thinking it would be a pure progressive set it took on a life of it's own while I recorded it.It ends up starting progressives and moving into some big room house tracks then migrating into a much deeper journey through some of the darker more tribal and progressive styles that I love.From there it moves through tribal vibes and into tech house, back to some big uplifting progressive tracks and ending off with some of my favorite high energy tribal/tech tracks of the year.
As always this set is available for guest mix use (just ask me first please) and can be download as well, feedback is always appreciated! I hope you enjoy, crank it up!
