Way Out West feat. Ulrich Schnauss-Northern Lights
A somewhat overlooked track off Way Out West's "Don't Look Now". A stunningly evocative breakbeat exercise, with boundless breadth to the melodic sounds and stirring, drone-like bass.
Arthur Deep-Burning Memories
The second track is noticeably lighter in tone than the intro. I deliberately wanted something quite hopeful and optimistic after the dark maturity of the opener. "Burning Memories" fit the bill nicely.
Soundstorm-Contact (arthur deep remix)
A transition track to help with the flow at the early stages of the mix, Arthur Deep delivers a calm, considered proggy chiller.
Alex Rize-Ailyx (east cafe remix)
Melodic prog breaks. A rare thing. Luckily there is still the odd gem about. Love how this track expodes with vibrancy after the moody build and break.
Mango-Good Morning Track
The title says it all! Mango back to his early rich, melodic best. Some wonderful lead melodies in the latter part of this tune.
Jozef Kugler-Last Station
Exciting newcomer Jozef Kugler delivers a hugely kinetic workout with a bouncing bass and weird vocal snippets.
Filigro-Kaleidoscope
More promising work from a relative newcomer on Primal. "Kaleidoscope" has a bit of everything thrown in. Smooth, driving in parts and lush throughout. Filigro's recent EP on Primal is well worth checking out.
Arthur Deep-White Park
The sounds of Arthur Deep really flexing his melodic production muscles. His prolific productions seem to be improving all the time, a real genre leader.
Sunburnt Octopus-Cruise Control
A curious track from the excellently named Sunburnt Octopus. It's a bitch to mix (I had to bring it in early, before dropping it out altogether before slowly introducing it again-it was that jarring!).
Flux Capacitor-Gone Away (mango remix)
Mango showing his darker, impactful side with a great remix reminiscent of his work on Michael and Levan's "January Morning".
Storyteller-Proof
A smooth, complemetary transition into the returning Storyteller's track-"Proof". You just seem to drift through this one!
Lokitas-Indifference (aleksey beloozerov remix)
Brilliant re-imagining of the original track by Beloozerov, who is a very talented and versatile Russian. This track oozes depth and classy production skills.
Domased Electronica-Dewpoint
Getting slightly more banging now as we enter the dark tunnel which propels us towards the climax of the set. Big, organic percussion and old-style prog sensibilities here.
Human Blue-Dragonflingz
Wonderful psy-trancey track by uber-producer Human Blue. Can imagine Oakie boshing this out in his heyday. We are tipping 137bpm by now!
Private Taste-First
Majestic, soaring and mature prog trance to wrap things up. Skin-tingling lush sweeps of sound all round! One of my favourite tracks ever, just love it as an ender to a set and a great example of what trance can achieve.
