October's classic mix! 
I split the mix into three parts - first part classics, for me, that are outside of EDM but I always loved. I have many memories attached to these songs (one of them is a Bulgarian song, very beautiful).
Then we move into trance/goa trance field which was always my favorite dance genre. It is hard to explain how much I lost myself on these tunes during parties. Here are some of my favorite favorites.
Then we end up with some of the ambient I love the most. The majority of you know that I made dozens of sets already in these genre. The best thing to relax during a cold night, a foggy morning or... whenever.
Here it is:
1. Bill Whiters - Ain't No Sunshine
2. Atlas - Kukla
3. Billy Idol - Sweet Sixteen
4. Phil Collins - Can't Find A Way
5. Har-El Prussky - Circle Of Light
6. Plastic Boy - Silver Bath
7. Astral Projection - Aqua Line Spirit
8. Boris Blenn - Portamento
9. Cell - M.o.o.f.
10. Solar Fields - Velvet Reptile
11. Carbon Based Lifeforms - MOS 6581
12. Malik Trey - Sleepy Shadows

I was just so content. Bopping to the beat. I stopped worrying about gross spiders invading my space for what...70 minutes? |
Listened to your mix twice, Mag. Splendid work. Obviously I didn't quite have the same connection with the Bulgarian song as you have, but it fit in nonetheless. Loved the trance and the ambient. Really great. Thanks for sharing
mag i really enjoy your classics set, i've listened to it a few times, in fact, i've listened to your sets for years and this just seemed so u, a very touching representation. cheers
Thank you very much zip and sisterbliss for the comments!
Sunsurge (Spike Witney) TA Classics mix 2
It's me again...
My second take on the classics mix. All these tracks have have affected me from the very first listen and hold significance due to varying amounts of nostalgia, impact and emotion. Dive in...
Way Out West - Chasing Rainbows
One of my favourite downtempo tracks that seems to be overlooked by many Way Out West fans.
Pole Folder feat. Shelley Harland - Fall in Violet
"When I fall in violet/ The waves hear me call/ When I fall in violet/ The skies are open/ To me"
Rogue Audio - Custom Made
Originally heard as the opening track of the Dave Seaman E-mix under the name Cass - Opiate. I searched high and low for it but to no avail. It was subsequently released under the Rogue Audio guise and given a more chilled tinge but still evokes those wonderful feelings I got the first time I heard it.
Memoryhouse - To The Lighthouse
An achingly beautiful and dreamy song. I can't recommend Memoryhouse enough.
Room 101 - New Speak
This track kicked off my first ever Windmill Sessions mix here on TranceAddict. No one seems to know of it but I absolutely love it.
Mango - Encanta (w/vocals taken from the documentary Gates of Heaven)
I had to include one of Mango's early works as his productions have had such an influence on my tastes. Features some poignant words from one of my favourite documentaries.
King Creosote & Jon Hopkins - Running on Fumes
A winning combination of artists. I saw these guys play earlier this year on the south bank. Beautiful, soaring soundscapes.
The Cranberries - Linger
I'm a massive fan of The Cranberries. It's something about the lilting, breaking voice of Dolores O'Riordan and lush guitar licks the makes my hair stand on end.
Laura B - Midi A Minuit
Unbelievably I first heard this on a free CD from a Women's lifestyle magazine. The rest of the the CD was dross but this track captured my imagination. Love the soporific quality to the sound.
A Flock of Segulls - I Ran (so far away)
The 80s were a golden era for quality pop music. A Flock of Seagulls have about 4 tracks that could of made the cut for this mix. Expert hook-building.
Lisa Lougheed - Run With Us
You may know this song from the end credits of The Raccoons; a cartoon running from the mid 80s. Awash with nostalgia, if forced by gunpoint to do karaoke I would choose this tune.
Solarstone - Release
Along with Greenlight this is probably my favourite Solarstone production. Simple, hypnotic and fresh-sounding, I still play it today.
Espen & Elusive - Internet Hugs
Espen & Elusive aren't too well-known but as a production duo they were peerless for me. Such crisp, melodic production with a hook that grabs me every time.
Sonorous - Glass Garden
When I first heard Paul Van Dyk play this my jaw hit the floor.
Pulsar - Cloudwalking (Beat Pusher Remix)
Heard this track first on a Scott Mac mix on radio one, it sounded so unbelievably fresh and distinctive. Hugely euphoric.
Human Movement feat. Sophie Moleta - Love Has Come Again
What. A. Voice.

Spike Witney - TA Classics Mix 2
d/lin
3rd listen now. Good stuff, some great tunes and transitions
I didn't like the transition from Lisa Lougheed to Solarstone, but that one seems quite difficult to pull off anyway
i enjoyed your first set, this will be interesting. our first part 2!
I agree.
I don't think I logged in to thank Mag for doing October. I agree with Meg that your set, Mag, was very good. Every time I listen, it seems fuller, richer. It really "feels" like you. I enjoyed it. Thank you so much for contributing.
Spike Sun Surge, this looks great. Thank you. I'm downloading now.
Reminder to others, if you want to contribute to the TAs share their classics thread, send me a message and we'll work you into the schedule.

Once a month I invite a TA to make a mix, no more than 80 minutes in length, of their personal favourite tracks in any genre. The records that influenced them, the records they've always wanted to play but perhaps never been able to fit into a set. The emphasis is on creating a mixtape-type set, with less focus on technical DJing ability and more focus on the tracks. |

Mixing those two tracks was a giggle.

Mag/Sunsurge I've listened to both your mixes and enjoyed them both alot.
Sorry I dont have more to say, but both put a smile on my face (Spike, Raccoons!!! legend)
Hello, TA! Last time I didn't really make the classics mix as it was intended. Given another chance, I chose a lot of favorites from my childhood up through my college years. There is no electronic music here. My style isn't near as eclectic as some of the DJs before me, but I hope you enjoy this all the same. A lot of these songs remind me of my childhood home in a small town in Kentucky, with beautiful rolling hills, farms, cows, and of course, horses. Enjoy the classical, country, classic rock, and punk varieties of music!
Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata
This is the first song I ever remember hearing as a child. My father would play this on the piano, and it sounded so dark, brooding, but beautiful. It reminds me of the holidays, when my dad and his brother would both play this song to see who could play it the best. They have both forgotten how to play since then, but maybe I should learn it for my family's next generation...
John Denver - Thank God I'm a Country Boy
While I never actually grew up on a farm, my grandparents had a farm with all kinds of livestock and my parents had a huge backyard in a small town in Kentucky where I lived until I was 13. I feel that qualifies me as a little bit of a country boy! I've loved this song since I was young.
Kansas - Song for America
Kansas was one of my first favorite bands when I was 6 years old, because it was because of them that I learned how to recognize how beats and tempos work. The ones I listened to the most as a kid were Carry On Wayward Son, and The Point of Know Return. This one has a pretty epic buildup.
The Allman Brothers Band - Jessica
My dad used to (and still does!) listen to the Allman brothers religiously, and when I would hear this song I would be simply captivated by the many different guitar melodies and piano solos. Always puts a smile on my face.
The Rolling Stones - She's a Rainbow
I had to include this song because it's one of my favorite Stones songs to listen to. It's so playful and so much fun and I always imagine the most beautiful and mysterious girl.
Boston - Peace Of Mind
I didn't get into Boston until college, and I realized that they had a sound all their own when it came to classic rock. Not everybody likes Boston, but I say you can't beat those dualing guitar solos.
The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides
My dad and I share a love for this particular song because of how absolutely hard The Outlaws get it toward the end.
Blues Traveler - Hook
Blues Traveler became one of my first favorite bands when they came out with their album Four back in 1994. I liked almost every song on that CD, but this one inspired me to learn to play the harmonica. I also like John Popper's little rap there. Fun fact: In 2007, John Popper and his buddy Brian were pulled over going 111 MPH and police found 4 rifles, 9 handguns, a switchblade, a tazer, and a sack of weed. "Popper indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because in the event of a natural disaster he didn't want to be left behind."
Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons
I like Goldfinger's remake of this 80's song, because it has a good amount of intensity and softness. It also gets me thinking about war, government, and politics.
Green Day - Basket Case
I was really into Green Day in high school. I loved their hard rock/punk fusion, especially when they had blue hair and wrote songs about being bored, smoking pot and masturbating before becoming a band that is almost entirely politically driven.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Good Time Boys
The Chili Pepper's old sound was so awesome, when they were heavy into drugs and would just go up on stage and kick ass at a show, wearing socks over their shlongs, and just blow everyone's minds with their phat basslines and funky riffs.
Reel Big Fish - Sell Out
I went through a ska was also a phase I went through in high school. RBF has such an upbeat vibe, I couldn't help but love their trumpets and trombones.
Less Than Jake - Scott Farcas Takes it on the Chin
I was a big fan of Less Than Jake before they turned into an emo-punk band that sings about their feelings and shit. This track explodes with energetic horns and fast-paced ska/punk music.
Perpetual Groove - Mario Brothers Theme (Live @ JJ Cagneys)
Perpetual Groove is a bit of an unknown jam band who I discovered early in college. This is a live recording of them fucking around with the Mario Theme before going off on a tangent and ending with one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've ever heard.
Western Kentucky University's Big Red Marching Band - My Old Kentucky Home
I get goosebumps and sometimes my eyes start welling up when I hear this, especially during the Kentucky Derby. This song is sorta emotional for people like me who were born and raised in KY. As much as I disagree with the political stance of the residents in this state, I can't help but remain in love with the sights, sounds, and smells that accompany it. In all reality, this state is absolutely beautiful. Everyone I talk to who has moved away misses their home so much. One of these days I might have to leave my home, but it will always be in my heart.
Ziptnf - Kentucky Proud by Nick Knopf
I do not have enough buttons to undo in light of this. I am changing. Animorphing some say.
I enjoyed the first 10 or so tracks, I didn't care much for the punk/ska-stuff. The Super Mario cover started out a bit meh, but that solo was awesome
