Summary: I just returned from a trip up to Northern California, where I spent time with one of my best friends taking photos and writing music. It was an inspirational trip, as he lives in a tiny town (about 400 people) off the Lost Coast in Humboldt County. You could drive for miles on the beach and never see anyone. It is a magical place and a different way of life from a big city such as San Diego. This Summer Seasons Mix reflects the cheerful mood of the summer and features a photo I took of the amazing view from my friend’s front porch overlooking the Lost Coast. Hope your summer is going well and hope that this mix adds to more good memories! Dinka – Asylum – I really enjoy Dinka’s sound and productions. This is a perfect opener to the summer mix, as it slowly builds a positive and soothing vibe that relaxes the mind and body. Pryda – Melo – Eric Prydz aka Pryda continues to deliver the best melodic instrumental records with flawless production quality and his signature sound. Awesome, feel good record. DBN Feat. Madita – Asteroidz (Sultan & Ned Shepard Remix) – One of my favorite records of late, it has a great house vibe with a free-flowing vocal and pulsing synths. All the elements of this record are very well mixed – I especially enjoy the deep, grooving bassline. Antidote – Eclipse - A classic house record that fits perfectly in the mood of this summer mix. Another all time favorite – from the bassline to the amazing keyboard jam towards the end – this truly is an unbelievable record which has been in my record box for around 10 years. Andain – Beautiful Things (Gabriel and Dresden Unplugged Mix) – One of my favorite tracks of all time - this is a classic record that sets the bar for a well crafted remix. The instrumentation, vocals, and lyrics paint a perfect mix. I have listened to this record so many times and always find something new within it. I think this is Gabriel and Dresden’s finest work. Michael Angelo Feat. Jenry R - Disconnected (Myon and Shane 54 Dub Mix) – A feel good record that highlights the sound of today’s current trance and progressive scene. Myon and Shane 54 have been pounding out some great remixes lately. We Love 90 Feat. Jade - Right In The Night (Billions Dollars Dogs & Vincenzo Callea & Fast DJ Club Mix) – this record has grown on me over the last couple of weeks – the Spanish guitar influence and the vocal part come together to form a very well-produced record. Gareth Emery – Metropolis – Always quality from Gareth – this record maintains his string of great productions. The other side of this record release – Exposure – is a brilliant trancer. Coldplay – Life In Technicolor (Matt Crofford Remix) - Although this remix has been available for download for a while now, I felt it fit perfectly with the vibe of the summer season and would be a great way to close out this seasons mix. I have received a lot of positive feedback on this remix and I really appreciate the comments! I am hard at work on a new remix that will be mixed in the next seasons podcast. Til then, Thanks for listening Matt Crofford www.mattcrofford.com | music@mattcrofford.com
