WINDMILL SESSIONS 01

Hey, this is the 1st mix I've posted on here. It reflects the kind of music that I'm in to currently, namely deep, flowing tunes with a tangiable sense of melancholy.
The mix was designed to flow together well, with mini peaks and troughs. Hope you like it and let us know what you thought!
cheers







I like it when other people talk about the tracks in their mix, so I thought I should...

01. Room 101-New Speak
A perfect intro, an ambient start which kicks into a beat, to the backgroundof beautiful synth work.

02. Matthew Adams- Gold Leaf
Fast becoming one of my fave producers, his productions increase in quality with each release. This is from his Toes in the Sand EP and is such a sparkly tune with real depth of sound.

03. Kaito-The Universe
Another fave producer of mine, his productions are all of a similar ilk but are so beautifully deep and chilled out.

04. Chris Girard- Rideau Street (storyteller remix)
I love this track! This is my definition of the perfect "filler" track, so smooth and full of melody.

05.4Mal- Layered Feelings
4Mal can do no wrong, this track takes the mix up a gear with a faster bassline and drops but stillremains blissfully calm. The whispered vocals do it for me.

06.Daniel Gregory-Paradise
Keeping the pace up this track delivers a deep melodic build before dropping into a feet moving funk-tinged melody. Great stuff.

07.Kaito- Nobody Could Be Alone
The mix then drops down a gear into real "journey" terriotory. This is one of my fave tracks by Kaito and a spine-tingler guaranteed!

08.Pablo Roma-Sad Flowers
Back into a melodic builder. This track is subtle, but undeniably beautiful and sets the scene well for the next track.

09.Narek and Danny Bullo- I Need Somebody
The pace returns with this exquisite track. Trancey bassline, shimmering melodies and haunting vocals-stunning stuff.

10.Pole Folder-Morning Crow
A real change of direction, Pole Folder's album was a very successful electronic album and this track builds up for the crescendo of the mix.

11.Benz and MD-Turning the Curve
This is a huge track. Big room melodies, builds and drops all with top-notch production values. You have to hear this played live!

12.Breakfast-Drunk in the Grass at Sunset
A real gem of a track. A beautiful techy piece of work that always makes me smile, if only for the beauty of it. The beats are getting harder by this point...

13.Espen and Elusive-Internet Hugs
The climax of the mix is actually quite chilled but incredibly stirring. This is my favourite song of 2006 so I won't be able to describe what feelings it evokes to me. Suffice to say its a fitting final track.

cheers bud, yeah let us know what you think

This is a quality mix.

A great selection of subtle, building melodic tracks devoid of anything remotely cheese, they are intelligently produced which is sadly lacking in trance these days.

This reminds me of why I got into electronic music in the first place, well done mate!

Ah cheers for the comments squire!
There is a lot of quality tracks out there still yeah, you just have to search harder nowadays.

ps.looking forward to the melodic-funky mix from u soon

This sounds wonderful. Getting it now.

Lets hope you think so after you've listened to it

Mint f'ing set, mate! No complaints here. Nice mixing, nice track selection, nice flow. I found some tunes and artists to research thanks to this set! Some of these sounds are exactly what I have been looking for.
