Deep South? Hmm, that's gonna be pretty tough... Only thing that immediately comes to mind is this:
I'll have to get creative!
I have never felt like DJ's should be constricted to 4x4 or EDM. I feel like in this challenge you can play any genre you want: rock, blues, bluegrass, whatever. Just because this is TranceAddict doesn't mean it has to be trance! Last year I did a hip-hop mix for my challenge, and it went over quite well.

That's good, because I might be dropping some death metal.

Personally, I'm really hoping you manage to work at least one song from the Silent Hill game series into your mix...
Maybe not that directly, but there will be something very similar for sure. I have a pretty interesting concept in mind, but I don't know if I can manage to pull it off.

I've gotten a lot of stuff on Amazon but iirc the bitrate is 256, which may be a dealbreaker for you.
I'll have to see if there are any other options, otherwise that'll have to do. I know what I want to play, but actually finding playable versions seems to be a bit difficult.
I've had a great summer; I got a promotion and my wife is pregnant with our first child. I have also attended a few great local music shows recently and enjoyed a lot of new sounds and styles. I had two distinct directions to take this mix: go the housey route or go full blown retro, 80's synthwave style.
The synthwave scene can tend to have a reputation of being loaded with children of the late 80's and early 90's that romance about times that they hardly remember, basing their productions on cult classics and popular music from that decade. Despite this, and sifting through hundreds of forcibly ironic tracks with bad lyrics about high schools that only exist in movies, I was able to find a solid tracklist that helps frame my wonderful summer. Hopefully you will find a fresh, dreamy, cheesy lyric-free mix that may remind you of your favorite memories.

Helluva mix, Nick! I'm in love with the song 25 minutes in, in particular - it reminds me of something straight out of an early 90's shmup for Sega CD or PC Engine CD! And ditto for the song that comes right after that.
