If you're still taking requests... two of my favorite summer tracks are:

Solarstone - Seven Cities (Solarstone's Liquid Summer Mix)
Chicane - Halcyon (Original Mix)

Cheers!

No, actually there have been a few problems which prevented me from working on this mix.

First of all, early this month I removed some old music files from my pc. Some of these were used in the Summer Excitemix, but I thought I had replaced them in the project with new high-quality versions (wavs). Unfortunately it seemed I had forgotten some.
Normally when there are files missing, Ableton gives you a message and asks you if you want to search for the missing files or files that can replace them. Ableton did give this message when I loaded the project file, but it also crashed within one second everytime.
Because of this I wasn't even able to see which files were missing, let alone replace them. Needless to say, I was quite depressed when I realised all my hard work was lost...

So I put the mix aside for a while, thinking that I would be able to re-mix it from what I remembered. I didn't really get any time to do this though. XiJaro has since recently been hosting three radioshows on four different radio stations and doing this takes up a lot of time. So much time even that we have decided to do these shows less frequently now. We simply don't have the time to work on other projects otherwise.

This week I reorganised my music, causing all my files to change location. During a discussion about the Summer Excitemix, I decided to open the project file again to see if perhaps anything had changed, and this was indeed the case.
All files were missing now, but I was able to locate them. Ableton no longer crashed. So now I have recovered about 90% of the mix (there are some tracks I still have to rip from cd again).

After next week, I will have a three week vacation. This should give plenty of time to finish the Summer Excitemix. I still very much want to make this mix (maybe even more so with all the new tunes that are out now) and it WILL be a four hour mix. I'm not gonna make it shorter just so it will be finished faster.

I now realise it was a mistake to announce this mix long before it had reached completion. Delays are inevitable. Thanks to everyone who has not lost interest in this mix, I hope I will not dissappoint you.

Also, you can all continue to submit requests for tracks that you want included. And if you got any ideas or other comments please post them here too.
