1. The Beloved - Sweet Harmony (Kosmas Epsilon & Zorz 'Northern People' Mix): Just slightly cheesy, but along the lines Sasha would spin back in 2004.

2. Dave Gahan - I Need You (Lexicon Avenue Dirty Sticky Dub): Lexicon Avenue - true children of the "dark and dirty" Digweed period in 2001-2002

3. Coldplay - God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (Hernan Cattaneo Edit):
Speed up a track, call it an edit. Cool.

4. Agoria - Sofa: Peak-time acid house.

5. Alex Gopher & Etienne De Crecy - Overnet: Anybody remember how Zabiela used to scratch the living Jesus off this track?

6. Mauro Picotto - Black Room: Did this ever get a full release?

7. Client - Radio (Rex the Dog Mix): 2004 - the year when "electro-house" became cool.

8. Guy Gerber - Stoppage Time (Dave Gardner & Sahar Z Haoman 17' Mix): Digweed's closing track for about 9 months.

9. Marc et Claude - The History of Acid House: "House is as new as a microchip and as old as the hills..."

10. Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (DJ Kid Paul Mix): Trance when it was still trancy

"Trance is dead. Ferry Corsten killed it." -Ishkur

Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler - "Sultans of swing"
Can't say much else to this.

Delerium feat. Sarah McLachlan - "Silence" (Tiesto In Search of Sunrise Remix)
This either. The only mix better is Fade's imo.

Robert Nickson - "Spiral"
Typical, almost bland trancer but has a really nice melody and sound. Sounds like "Nocturnal creatures" a bit.

Gary Moore & Phil Lynott - "Parisienne walkways"
A guitar riddin' slow rock tune from an album a mate gave me. Haven't really given it the time of day till now, sounds actually really nice.

Dave Gahan - "Dirty sticky floors" (Junkie XL Vocal Mix)
Pretty much played all over and comissioned to tones of comps. Liking the synth play throughout the tune and the percs are nice and light.

Darren Tate Vs. Jono Grant - "Let the light shine in" (Original Mix)
One of my favourite songs of all time. Perfect collaboration with one of the best breakdowns. Pure and uplifting.

Sasha - "Golden Arm"
Taken from one of the most brilliant albums. I like the subtle approach in this with his melodies being filtered to the background to create a nice atmosphere. My collection is looking pretty plain with this lot.

J-Lo feat. Ja-Rule - "I'm real" (Remix)
FFS! don't know how the hell this was in here. Deleted.

Kelly Llorenna - "Tell it to my heart"
..........I have a lot of shit in my collection i realised. I did like the Kenny Hayes Remix back in the day. Fuck

Rank 1 - "Airwave"
Classic. Not much else needs saying.

Fuck that^ i'm doing another one!

THE LAST FLIGHT - PROGRESSIVE HOUSE/TRANCE

Wasn't quite satisfied for my first round.. i know my random choices could be better. So round 2 for me, cut it down to 10 this time.

01 Wham! - Careless Whisper (Extended Mix)
- IMO still by far the best track George Michael has ever done. A perfect song from the 80s. Played from Wham's Make It Big album.

02 Uriah Heep - Shadows Of Grief
- Rockin! Besides EDM, i've been a prog rock fan for all my life so Uriah Heep belongs in my collections along with Purple, Zeppelin & co. Played from the 2004 reissue of Look At Yourself.

03 Effective Force - Illuminate the Planet
- Lovely piece of old skool EDM from Effective Force's debut album by the same name.

04 The Cars - Drive
- Another very nice 80s track from a Best Of 80s compilation. Lots of good memories from my childhood with this one.

05 Art Of Trance - Blue Owl
- One of the never talked about yet very nice tracks from Simon's debut album Wildlife On One.

06 F Machine - She's All Over Me (Secret Knowledge's DHSS Devastation Mix)
- Wonderful 12min old skool prog house journey from Caspar Pound's Secret Life Of Trance vol. 5 compilation.

07 Elizabeth Fields - Speak In Sympathy (Neo & Farina Remix)
- GDMFSOB!!! Why did the cd changer need to pick the worst version out of 7 possibilities??!! N&F remix is the worst kind of trance, as cheesy crap as it can possibly get in every way. One to avoid on the Speak In Sympathy CDr.

08 Moby - Hymn.Alt.Quiet.Version
- 33:45 long minimal yet very powerful ambient piece. Not my fav version of Hymn but there are worse ambient tracks out there. Played from the Hymn 1 tracker CDS.

09 Mikael Delta - Dancing With An Angel (B.I.G. Island Remix)
- Not bad bangin progger which is also an exclusive version to a Greek One Nation compilation. I prefer Chris Nemmo's mix tho.

10 Boards Of Canada - A Is To B As B Is To C
- Can't really say much about this short BoC track from Geogaddi as their albums usually work much better when listened straight through, not track by track.

one of the best tracks of the 80s!

I'll have another go, because this is entertaing. I'll do a couple more than last time too.

1. Monster Magnet - Look To Your Orb For The Warning
I don't remember anything about this track. It's from The Matrix soundtrack, but I must always skip it. Not surprising- it's the same dull kind of alt-rock you'd hear back at the turn of the millenium.

2. Jam & Spoon - Zen Flash Zen Bones
My MP3 player really loves Tripomatic Fairytales for some reason- evertime I do some random browsing it seems to turn a track up from it. This one's quite appropriate as I own a Zen Vision.

3. Mike Oldfield - First Landing
From his 1995 album Songs of Distant Earth, which is apparently inspired by an Arthur C Clark album. This seems to be a typical Oldfield 1990s track- heavily-produced and laden with melodic guitar, but it ends very quickly.

4. Green Velvet - Explorer
This is some proper old-skool Chicago acid house. I think it's a pretty rare track too- it's taken from a historical compilation of Chicago experiment and acid stuff and I can't find it on Discogs.

5. Rob Dougan - Prelude
The intro to the vocal side of his superb Furious Angels album. Just a short, brooding choral piece but very good all the same. I prefer the instrumental half of this album though.

6. Butthole Surfers & Moby - Tiny Rubberhand
We seem to be in 90s Movie Soundtrack mood tonight. This is from the Spawn soundtrack, so it's one of those one-off tracks where some popular rock act gets together with a big-name electronic act from the time and they make a forgettable track and move on.

7. Mike Oldfield - Let There Be Light (BT Mix)
Er... this is another track from The Songs of Distant Earth. This one is from BT's brilliant Rare & Remixed album and it's certainly both: an absolutely scorching and rare-as-fuck complete rerub of the track. A monster of a track that has hardly any of Oldfield's original in it.

8. Pendulum - Streamline
From their huge (by drum 'n bass standards, at any rate) Hold Your Colour album- my favourite album of 2005. It's lush and gorgeously produced stuff, almost downtempo drum 'n bass, one of several such tracks on the album. A lovely vocal hook too.

9. Rage Against The Machine - New Millenium Homes
A lot of rocky stuff coming up this time round too. Thankfully this is RATM and thus is class, despite being not the best track on The Battle of Los Angeles

10. Chemical Brothers - Got Glint?
By 1999 the Chems must have made enough money to decide they could give up on rocking hip-hoppin' big-beat and sound more like their heroes New Order. Thus we have a melodic and housey album in Surrender, from which this is taken. You always know you're in reliable hands with the Chems, even when they're not on top form.

11. The Doors - Alabama Song
To be completely honest, I've never heard this before. I bought this album for The End, and haven't actually played it through yet. So I'm not sure what to make of this. Um... I hope the rest of the album isn't in this vein.

12. Fatboy Slim - Slash Dot Dash
When does comic-book big-beat stop being fun and turns into sheer bloody irritation? Slash dot dash dot slash dot dash dot....

13. Chicane - Andromeda
Some lovely sunny trance (it's Chicane!) that is soon going to sound completely out of place as Britain slowly turns into the most miserable, dark and rainy place on Earth.

14. Orbital - Forever
It's the opening track of an Orbital album. You know it's brilliant. Snivilisation is an album that's supposed to be highly political, which I suppose comes from the vocal samples you hear through it, including this track. However, trying to be political with instrumental music seems pointless to me, and I enjoy this because Orbital are masters at creating delicate synth symphonies.

15. Basil Poledouris - The Orgy
This is a gorgeous exotic orchestral piece from the Conan The Barbarian score. The film may have a reputation as a trashy geek staple, but the score is absolutely fantastic- one of my favourite film scores. This is a great track to finish my list on.

Like these sets? Come see me play live at Kibosh in Manchester: https://www.instagram.com/kibosh.mcr/

round 2 for me. i've removed most of the doubles and triples and stuff that's not music in my list and now it's 26661 files

01. sabotage - return to ibiza (lock 'n load remix)
this one's a "bit" cheesy, but i still like it. i used to blast this a lot back in the day. this is definitely a party tune, nothing serious. i bet this would still work in some kind of a party, that's why i bought the cdm bakc in the day i guess.

02. re-animator - rewire your brain
this is some crap hard trance tune from some gary d. compilation i bought because of some other tune. they used to sell all these gary d. compilations for 2 or 3€ in this one supermarket here in finland. most of the compilations would have a couple decent tunes and the rest would be crap like this.

03. project medusa vs. exor - moonshine (vocal radio edit)
crap version. i bought the cdm for the exor part II mix, which is brilliant. this is just some cheesy vocal crap version.

04. Eskimo - Thirs And Trails
i used to love j00f's sets before he went all psy. eskimo's the kinda stuff he started playing, i tried to get into it but never really could. so this doesn't really sound very good to me.

05. LSG - Netherworld (Kid Loops Remix)
kid loops remix of netherworld! haven't heard this before, but i fucking loved his remix of "paragliders - change me". this one sounds very similar to that one. this one's decent, but not the best mix of netherworld and not the best stuff by kid loops either. kinda disappointing actually.

06. Space Manoeuvres - stage one (leama and moor main mix)
i love this one, although many will say it's a crap remake. i think it's nice, not better than the separation mix, but still nice. i tried to buy it from city16.com but they fucked me over and stole my money, so it seems that i have to settle for this downloaded version then.

07. Sander Kleinenberg - Work It
got this from emusic. they had some offer, that gave me 100 free mp3s, so naturally i took advantage of it! :P anyway i've always liked sander kleinenberg, but this is a little too cheesy IMO. this tune has potential in it, but the melody line ruins it.

08. the mystery - mystery (original mix)
decent. nothing special here, a little cheesy, but i think it's still ok.

09. starchaser - love will set you free (original mix)
dunno at all what this tune is. housey stuff. this is actually pretty good.

10. Hardy Heller - Drowing in
haven't heard this one before. it went kinda unnoticed as background music while doing something. so it wasn't bad. not great either, as it didn't caught my attention.


pretty basic selection once again by winamp shuffle. all edm again.

Here's another go.

Notorious B.I.G. - "Hypnotise"
Like all the old skool shit. Brothers would always listen to it so it was chucked at me early on. 2 Pac/Bone Thugs etc.

Matt Darey feat. Marcella Woods - "Beautiful"
Probably one of Marcella's finest moments. Wasn't keen on the song when it first came out but it grew on me over the years. Not your typical trance bassline either, sorta housey.

Fly My Pretties - "Miracles"
New Zealand group made up of Wellington's finest. From 'The Return of Fly My Pretties' live album. Has Hollie Smith as vocalist, fast becoming NZ's best after she collabed with another group after this album was released. She has a deep, husky voice that just reaches those high notes, she does them fucking well tho. Rhodes and slick guitar work.

Delirious - "Innerface"
From 'White Label Republic'. Had only just brought this CD on my recent travels up to Auckland. Awesome percs and synth work. I don't know much about prog/psy or w/e this is but i am really liking this tune and CD.

Luniz - "I got five on it"
Yeah k it's an old one but it pisses my off so i fast fowarded it.

Goldenhorse - "Wandering one"
New Zealand Folk/Pop band with amazing vocalist Kirsten Morelle (sp.). Don't like this song but the a side of the single "Out of the moon" is pretty good.

Casa Flava - "De moma de" (Paris & Sharp Mix)
Nice little prog tune from, of course, The Great Wall comp. I like the vocals but the rest is a bit naff for me.

Novy Vs. Eniac - "Someday>Somehow" (Original Club Mix 2)
Cool little tech/house tune from 1998 by Tom Novy and Tomcraft. Picked it up at a second hand shop for $2. Same place where i got The Space Brothers album 'Shine' too.

Darude - "Sandstorm"
Fuck it just had to come aye? Was good back in the day but can't really stand it now.

Adam White - "Ballerina" (Duberina Mix)
Thought this song was pretty decent without those 'fuck off' vocals, damn! Made a bit of a mix with this and "Massive Motion" and it sounds good.

Jay Tripwire & Grant Dell - "Slo Roast"
Smooth housey tune that has a cool clicks fluttering all over the place.

Goldenscan - "Ascension" (Montana Dub)
Love this tune! Classic. Piano always gets me.

Beyonce feat. Slim Thug - "Check on it"
Mates i swear..........deleted, worse song this year.

Armin Vs. M.I.K.E. - "Intruder"
Don't really like this song. A few things attract me to it but the over use of the off beat snare irritates the shit outta me.

Kyau Vs. Albert - "Kiksu"
Nothing really special about this tune other than the percs, i really enjoy them.

Sinead O'Connor - "Troy" (Phoenix from the flame) (Andi Durrant Mix)
OK trance chill out piece. Piano's are pretty nice but other than that, i thought i could do a better job at creating an atmosphere.

B-Boy - "Front to back" (Jonesey's Reversed Remix)
Cheesey light Hard House tune with ghey rap "from the front to the back, here comes the master. shitty stuff.

Zander feat. Alexis Hart - "What's up" (Coopra Remix)
Remake of the 4 Non-Blondes tune. Only brought it because it was made by Kiwi/Aus people and thought i would support the, quite literally dead dance producing scene in NZ. CHEESE!!

Paul van Dyk feat. St Etienne - "Tell me why" (The Riddle) (Club Mix)
This and the Vandit Re-Mix were my favourite of the bunch. I have so many memories with this. Definately one of PVD's for me. Has incredible atmosphere and the melody is mind blowing!! Very smooth, beautiful trance.

Lamb - "Gabriel"
Her voice is incredible. This song is a favourite of mine, so much emotion and those violins tear at the heart.

Twice as much as last time :P Bit more variety but mostly still 4 to the floor.

THE LAST FLIGHT - PROGRESSIVE HOUSE/TRANCE

last one.

Armand van Helden - Flowerz
took a while for me to like this one, nice track tho

M-Flo - Prism
japanese r&b, good track

Dania - El Helwa Di
arabic pop tracl, love this track more or less.

Kate Ryan - Desenchantee (Radio Edit)
one of them guilty pleasures i reckon, the original mylene farmer track is like the only one i like by her and this cover just naturally became to my liking aswell

M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gun
such an immense production by Diplo on this one, especially implying the machinegun sounds (like klf did in last train to trancentral). heard this one on radio once, got hooked instantly, then heard hombre & galang and went and bought arular. great album

Hikaru Utada - travelling
Jpop track, this one's a cut taken from her third album Deep River, not really the best track on it, but i like it

Ben Horn - Straight From The Hideout
deephouse track taken from nordic lounge 2, it's ok, nothing special

Two Heads - You Don't Know (What I Really Want Mix)
eurodance track, great one aswell, never been able to work it in my euromixes because of it being 160bpm.

QB - Zman
most psyproducers often whack 70 minutes of fast beats on their album and then almost every time put one downtempo track as the last track. yeah, good track tho, like the guitar

Jacksons - ABC
immense track

Melanie C - I Turn To You (Hex Hector Radio Edit)
great cheesy track, really like the strings in this one.

Pet Shop Boys - Minimal (Radio Edit)
not their best track but good one still

Ramirez - Terapia (DJ Ricci Radio Edit)
Great track, ubercheesy but really good

George Michael - Fantasy
i have this on ladies & gentlemen the best of george michael, never really listened to it. hmm, i like it, nice bass in this one

Emjay - We All Need Love
one of mi fav eurotracks of alltime. emjay was a good eurosinger, good thumping beat and lovely synths.

Sidi Mansour - Ya Baba
Arabic track, great one too, is an instant floorfiller at an arabic party here, nomatter how fucking overplayed it is (yeah, it makes Motorcycle - ATRC look pitiful). Also holds the source for the arabic sample that Piu & Picotto nicked for their track Arabian Pleasures.

"I believe that's referred to as intelligent drum & bass, which obviously means there's a genre of stupid drum & bass out there" (John Peel)

Might as well give it a try...

Blue Haze - Greedy Planet
meh-ish chillout tune, name sounded cool -_-

Paula Abdul - My Love is for Real feat Ofra Haza (Junior Vasquez Club Remix)
0_o really isn't that bad of a song though...

Ron Van Den Beuken - Keep On Movin
Ah, some nice high-energy techno

Perfect Blue - Akumu
From the anime Perfect Blue. Really dark ambient song, used to listen to it a good amount.

Mike Shiver - Feelings
Should need no explanation

Duncan Sheik - On a High (Gabriel and Dresden Remix)
I love this remix, used to listen to this song all the time

Jeff Mills - Life Cycle
errr, sounds like somebody just screwed around with synth equipment for 4 minutes, had to skip by this one

Fear Factory - Undercurrent
I indulge in non-technoish stuff from time to time -_-

Infected Mushroom - Deeply Distrubed (Yahel Remix)
classic psytrance, love this song

Ian van Dahl - Castles in the Sky
rofl.... At least it's better than that crappy Will I song they came out with after this...

___________________
Top two EDM songs:
Leama and Moor - Shades of Red
Solarscape - Alive (Hydroid Pres Phyn Remix)

Picadilly Palare - Bona Drag - Morrissey

Pretty good Morrissey track, not one of my favourites, but altogether solid.




The Message - Dance Album 1.1 - Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5

Awesome song. Lyrical Genius really.




There is a light that never goes out - Live At Earls Court - Morrissey

Originally A Smiths Song,written by Morrissey and Johnny Marr. Performed live here with his band at Earls Court.





I Am A Wicked Child - Radiohead - Com Lag (2+2 = 5 EP)


I actually stole this CD from a party and there was a ten pound note underneath it, so I stole that as well, Don't invite me to your parties lol. I'm a total dick lol.





Temptation - New Order - Transpotting OST


Probably my favourite New Order song, although I can't remember at which point exactly in the movie that they play this. Nonetheless, totally ace.



She Don't Use Jelly - The Flaming Lips - Transmissions From The Satellite


Awesome Flaming Lips song, probably their most fun song.


Rock Bottom - Eminem - The Slim Shady LP

This song dedicated to all the happy people, who have real nice lifes, and have no idea what it's like to be broke as fuck.

From the man himself, I love this song and really the whole album. Shows real talent and such a fantastic, promising debut. Before all the shit that came afterwards



Goodnight Hollywood Boulevard - Ryan Adams - Gold


This song really means something to me, this song in particular got me through a pretty shitty time during a fucked up relationship. But I still love listening to it regardless of the bad memories.






The Narcotic Suite - The Prodigy - Music For The Jilted Generation


I don't really like this song to be fair haha. I really should take it off my Ipod.


Harvest - Decade - Neil Young

Pretty good song but not one of my favourites.

___________________
Check out my Mashups on Soundcloud

I'm skipping album skits and sets when listing tracks.

In-Q - Want Ads
A hip hop track by an unsigned dude from California. He's my favorite MC as of now. This isn't one of my favoirtes though.

Justin Timberlake - Sexyback
This was my shit over the Summer. I remember th first time I heard it was at a bar on the Jersey Shore. My friend and I looked at each other like "WTF? Is this hip hop or house?" But I loved it after that.

Imogen Heap - Hide & Seek (Yvel & Tristan Mix
I'm not sure if this is really a Y&T remix, but it was the first track in one of their sets. A cool down-tempo remix of those dope vocals. The R3volve Mix is still my favorite and gets listens quite often.

2pac - Street Fame
Never listened to this before. Not one of his best, but not really bad. The production is boring.

Jose Gonzalez - Crosses
Dope. I love that guitar and his singing is awesome.

Angello & Ingrosso - Yo Yo Kidz
I dig this. I love the build up. One of my favorites out of the SHM clique.

Lionel Ritchie - All Night Long
That's what's up. If you don't know it, you should. Immidiately puts a smile on my face.

Blue October - Congratulations
Cool rock jam. Nice and mellow. Sounds like something that should be on a soundtrack to a movie.

Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body (Sander Kleinenberg Queensday Mix)
One of my all-time favorite house jams. I would kill to hear this out, but I doubt it'd ever happen. I'll have whateveryou have...

Ol' Dirty Bastard - Goin' Down
The hardest and rawest beat ever produced by RZA. And that's saying a lot. ODB was one of the strangest rappers ever, but every now and then he'd come with something like this.

What I find really weird about this list is that I got two JT tracks. And all the rest, besides the 2pac, are songs I'm very familiar with. As of now, I have 10,179 tracks in my winamp and I'd say I'm familiar with about 15% of them. Strange...
