Summary: While compiling records for my Fall Seasons Podcast, I wanted to feature some classic records that always put me in a deep thinking mindset. This Fall Podcast Mix features one of my favorite classics of all time - Nalin & Kane’s Open Your Eyes in the rare El Barco Mix and a “mashup” mix I blended with the well-known Faxing Berlin by Deadmau5. Both of these records share the same emotions and feel, and are two original and inspiring records. Autumn is a beautiful time of year and I felt it appropriate to use one of my favorite Photographer’s photos for the cover of the Podcast. Patrick Smith maintains a purist’s approach to photography using real graduated filters to balance the full spectrum of color across a photo’s highlights – the colors in the photo fit perfectly with the mood I was trying to create within the Fall Mix. Hope you enjoy it – Thanks for listening Nalin & Kane - Open Your Eyes (El Barco Para Es Vedra Mix) – One the best progressive records of all time – an inspirational record I never get tired of listening to. I have always wanted to open a set with the Barco Remix and feel the mood was perfect for the fall mix in setting the tone to come. Chicane - Autumn Tactics (Thrillseekers Remix) – Another classic I have been listening to for years that features many qualities I hope to achieve in my records to come. The guitar is brilliant and the vocal sits perfectly within the mix. Made By Monkeys Feat. Darcy Conroy - I Think Of You (Rui Da Silva Remix) – I really enjoy the vibe and groove of this record, as it seems so simple but very effective with a well-placed moody vocal throughout. Gaia - Tuvan (Gareth Emery Remix) – Probably one of the best trance tunes of the year – had to include it, as I have been listening to it nonstop and really enjoy the build up and main melody hook. Depeche Mode - It’s No Good (Matt Crofford Remix) – The mix is about 90% done and the mastering is rough – I wanted to include it on the podcast, but it will be available for a full download off my website in a couple of weeks when it is finished. DJ Tatana - Autumn Sun – This is where the mood of the mix turns a bit more uplifting and progressive – this is an amazing track – the smooth vocal harmonies and flute like – sound make this record special. Dinka - Green Leaf – Another solid release by Dinka with the signature sound of melodic progressive house. Adiva feat. Vicky Fee - How Does It Feel (Myon & Shane 54 Dub Remix) – I really enjoy the smooth, clean bassline and vibe of the record – the vocal mix is excellent as well. Nalin & Kane vs. Deadmau5 - Berlin’s Eyes (Matt Crofford Mash) - Both of these records share the same emotions and feel, and are what I was looking for in a deep thinking, beautifully melodic soundscape. I was blown away by how well they blended together and how seamlessly their melodies complimented each other.
