2023 Oct Harmonies Over Shadows: In Memories of Dancers Lost Almost eight years ago, 130 music lovers died at the Bataclan theatre in Paris during an Eagles of March concert, two weeks go 260 EDM lovers died at the Nova Festival in the Negev in Israel. All innocent victims of the same barbary. This is not a political statement, just a humanist one… We could not just forget nor abscond with the similarities between the two massacres. In their memory, let us rise above hate, remembering the joy, the music, and the unity they represented. May their light guide us towards a world where love overshadows darkness. “I harbour no hate, for that's their domain,But my disdain for them, forever will remain.” “Je ne porte pas de haine, ce serait trop beau, Je méprise seulement, chaque écho de leurs maux.” “Ich hege keinen Hass, denn das ist ihr Bereich, Doch meine Verachtung für sie bleibt ewig und gleich.” “No albergo odio, pues es su terreno, Pero mi desdén hacia ellos es eterno y pleno.” אין לי שנאה, כי זהו שלהם התחום,אך הבז להם, לעד יישאר בליבי.  Half harmonic mixing, half beat mixing, every track has been chosen, for its atmosphere, its title, and its deep meaning for us, House is a journey, honouring the fallen. Playlist:  Intro Would you Rather?

2023 Jan Everything but Missing (Almost) All came about after reading on an online chat relating to the release of the 1st single of Everything But The Girl forthcoming album (after 24 years of silence), that they were a “one hit wonder”. Rather than engage with the idiot, thought it would be a better proposition to mix and edit House is a Journey favourite EBTG tunes (except “Missing” though it is sort of there), remixes and bootlegs,  as well as featuring their latest tune and the first unofficial booty remixes. An EBTG refresher for said idiot.. Certainly not exhaustive and 100% subjective, yet it contains an acoustic part, the DnB and Dance flavours, and obviously, the House and Break Beats dimension which is integral to their post indie sound (was it called indie back then?). 120 minutes of EBTG, House is a Journey way. And yes… “Missing” made it! but in our own twisted way.  Playlist:  2023 Nothing Left To Lose (Album Version) [Qtπ Before Today Edit].

2022 Nov My Shadow At the congruences of Progressive and Soulful House, Balearic Trance and a bit of Tech with a few original Qtπ live edits and mashups. Upbeat and meant to get you to move your bodies… Most tracks from 2022 with the usual suspects with Nora En Pure, Eli & Fur and a few stalwarts score of the Progressive House/Trance scene. Don’t miss two rather tight Qtπ mashups: the anthemic Delerium’s “Silence” vs. Otherside from Monolink and Hear Me Out from Cosmic Gate and the strangely working old Cuban standard “Havana 1959” vs. Copyright’s “We Can Rise”.Only postproduction tweak being levelling up the King of My Castle mash. As dropped at Soul Beach DBX Playlist:  2020 Horny Intro (Studio 54 Mix).

2022 Sept Interstellar Vibes  Coming back with Balearic Progressive chilled vibes. Tried to keep the vocal tracks to a strict minimum, some world music flavours, South American, Indian and African little gems. Turned out more melancholic than indented but very melodic and eclectic. Half of the set is pure harmonic mixing stepping up to beat mixing never pitching over 120 BPM. Usual suspects with Chicane, Nora En Pure, Above & Beyond, Armin and a few Hans Zimmer’s Interstellar remixes (more to come in future sets) you might have never heard before. And first time ever we dropped a Swedish House Mafia jam !(O^O)! As dropped at Soul Beach DBX Playlist:  Intro Apollo 11 Countdown. NASA 2022 Already There (Evolution Mix).

2022 April Deep Sessions (2018 Pt.9 Not for the Main Room)  Ninth and final instalment of what was indeed a very long session. Hope you connected with a few of the sets, this last one is a bit more twisted, higher bpm, techier and may challenge some. It is perfectly Ok if you do not like it! More of a set for DJ with syncopated challenging beats, definitively not for the main room and to be consumed later in the night with possibly a twisted receptive brain. Got Deep out of tour system for now and it was cleansing! We won’t wait another 5 years but it is now time to look at lighter, current tunes. Not quite sure where we will go. Let’s see.  Playlist:  2016 I Love House Music (Too Deep Mix).

2022 April Deep Sessions (2018 Pt.8 Deep Underground)  Eighth installment of what will be a long Deep House Series. Our last real Deep House sets are dating from 2017. The main reasons for the hiatus being that to stay within the true colours of the genre, we have to depart from the vocals we love, the progressive sounds we long for and the catchy melodies for which we are suckers for. But then it becomes a Sisyphean task looking at all the Deep tracks we have accumulated in 4 years and just start building a playlist. Opted to simply start from where we left it at, filter 2018 Deep and solely concentrate on the results. If House is a feeling, Deep House is the essence, the core of that medicine for the Body, the Mind and the Soul. True Deep House is about beats, chords, subtle melodies lines and sometimes dubbed vocals in the background. Deep House gets you there, but it does it by stealth The frequencies are low and do not “occupy” the Mind. At its best Deep House is an immersion and the Mind willingly surrenders. Your head starts bopping, good thoughts take over, yet the brain is fully capable to function not invaded by sounds. A Deep House journey is at the same time warmth, sorrow, cheeky miles and hope. It is healing music! Let’s see if we can deliver. Playlist:  2018 I Am House (KidzBlock Extended Mix).

2022 March Deep Sessions (2018 Pt.3 In It for the Long Run)  Third installment of what will be a long Deep House Series. Our last real Deep House sets are dating from 2017. The main reasons for the hiatus being that to stay within the true colours of the genre, we have to depart from the vocals we love, the progressive sounds we long for and the catchy melodies for which we are suckers for. But then it becomes a Sisyphean task looking at all the Deep tracks we have accumulated in 4 years and just start building a playlist. Opted to simply start from where we left it at,  filter 2018 Deep and solely concentrate on the results. If House is a feeling, Deep House is the essence, the core of that medicine for the Body, the Mind and the Soul. True Deep House is about beats, chords, subtle melodies lines and sometimes dubbed vocals in the background. Deep House gets you there, but it does it by stealth The frequencies are low and do not “occupy” the Mind. At its best Deep House is an immersion and the Mind willingly surrenders. Your head starts bopping, good thoughts take over, yet the brain is fully capable to function not invaded by sounds. A Deep House journey is at the same time warmth, sorrow, cheeky miles and hope. It is healing music! Let’s see if we can deliver. Playlist:  2012 The Long Run (Steve Bug Vocal Mix). Steve Bug, Mr V 2018 Addiction (Spoken Mix).

2022 МАЯСН НАЯDЭЯ МФФДС Could also be called the Going-Away Party set but far too hard to write in Cyrillic. Not unhappy with this one! I hope you enjoy it as well.Do not get fooled by the initial ballad, this is a driving harder set. Mainly Progressive House, with a few Trance throwbacks and a 15 minutes Acid-Tech house that will challenge some but stay with us! There is a mostly successful mashup of ATB’s 9pm (Till I Come) with 2 of our favourite House anthems: “Finally” and “Missing”. The second “Missing” mashup was done with a DIY accapella, it shows ... but there are no decent studio accapellas of "Missing" anywhere, so we had to improvise. Highlights:The AVIRA remix of Delerium’s "Silence", where the Canadian opted to showcase the vocals and curtail the melodic line. Meg Myer’s take of Kate Bush’s “Running up that Hill”, immense!New remixes of Da Hool’s “Meet Me at the Love Parade” and Darube’s “Sandstrom”, those took us back, way back.An amazing LIVE rendition of Eli & Fur’s “Come Back Around” showing that they sound amazing live! To end end the set, the very tasty Qtπ mashup of “9PM”, “Missing” and “Finally”. Lots of goodies! “All we are saying is, Give Peace a Chance”  Playlist  Intro Fire Brigade.

2021 Aug When House Meets TranceImpromptu live set interrupting the Beach House series. It just happened... We need to “bring it back”!There is a soundspace where House meets Trance. Always loved it, always strive to get there. From 122 to 138 bpm, at times banging, with new remixes of classics, Phil Collins, Pat Benatar and Madonna dropped in.Highlighting  2 tracks which required a bit of editing work: a mashup up of no-less than a new Paul Van Dyk remix of the balearic anthem “Cafe Del Mar” and Chicane’s “Saltwater” I which we added synth pads and a choral work rendition of “As the Rush Comes” with time delayed fourth and fifth harmonies of two remixes with added accapellas to boot. Not entirely unhappy with the result.Playlist: 2021 Love Tonight (Vintage Culture & Kiko Franco Remix) [Qtπ Bring it Back Edit].

2021 July Ποολ  ΉουσεSoulful Beach House, with some afro-beats and R&B leaning rap. July is always the time for dropping beach and pool sounds overlooking the Aegean sea. Thinking of everyone unable to enjoy the beach, the sun and the frozen margaritas and offering you some very current tunes, partly chilled but which will ultimately make you want to dance and hopefully forget all the recent crap. A couple of oldies, one of which is Samantha James’ “Subconscious”. Singer songwriter for 2010, she wrote an amazing album and disappeared. Recognized her voices in the new Miguel Migs’ jam and thought it was fitting to re-listen. Revisit her original album “Subconscious” on Spotify, you will be surprised how many of the songs you know and love. Check out the last track: a rather tight original Qtπ mashup. Onto another 3 sets in the same vibe and then back to reality… Enjoy the Summer! Playlist:  2021 Pacific 813 [Qtπ House Mashup]. 808 State, Jask 2021 Untold Business (Album Version) [Qtπ Edit].

2021 June Una Noche Mas (Sunrise Set) After the sunset comes … the sunrise. Balearic sunrise set “à la Café Mambo”, mixing genres, from Progressive Chill to Chill Out to Balearic Vocal Trance and finally into classic Beach House. We call it Trouse! From 120 bpm to 138 bpm and back. Might get some of you to dance and others to wonder what is happening. A lot more melancholic than intended but it is the current mood here. Straight from the mixer so you might notice some very suspect clipping levels in “Gratitude”. Well, that was not intended as well! Check the great new take on Nadia Ali’s anthem “Rapture” by Kryder with Nathalie Shay on vocals and do not miss the last track, a little summer gift from us to you! https://www.mihn.hk  https://t.me/Mihnclub Playlist: 2020 On the Beach (Kryder Extended Remix) [Qtπ Surf Edit].

2021 May Una Noche en Ibiza Sunset mix. The long intro necessary to synch with the sun setting down. Live set starting with chilled Balearic sounds to shift into Progressive House, Peak Time Vocal Trance and end on the disco floor. Close your eyes, imagine yourselves on a beach in Ibiza 20 minutes before sunset and let this set bring you to the white island. A few edited classics, some barely few weeks old tracks from Armin and Above & Beyond’s Ilan Bluestone (do not miss those) and our own track “Finally Going Interstellar” [Qtπ Rework] a mashup of the Blizzard’s remix of Interstellar and a well known house anthem we let you discover. Set your watch 18 minutes prior to the sunset and embark on our Balearic journey.  https://www.mihn.hkhttps://t.me/Mihnclub Playlist: Ibiza (Intro Mix).

Every track was hand-picked for its quality of production or for what it brought to the balance of the flow.

Another great production from Purple Pill. You can find them on Soundcloud and Spotify. They are from Tel Aviv. Pure class!https://soundcloud.com/purplepillmusicofficialhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/1ii30yidwceb9NJvc9cwjo?si=rNPOr5JSSO66FKDqS6wJaQ “Break My Heart” the Joris Voorn Remix of Dua Lipa’s tune. More and more liking Dua Lupa, a true talent and Joris is giving the track another dimension. Love Joris Voorm!https://soundcloud.com/joris-voornhttps://jorisvoorn.com Had fun dropping a live mashed edit of Sultan+Shepard’s “Vahe’” and Nora En Pure’s “Monsoon”. Pure tease but mixing it with the Big Love original was so begging. It will happen! “And We Knew It Was Our Time” from Lane 8. Mashed it on the fly with the A&B anthem "Things Called Love". Overly ambitious but was fun. “When I’m With You" collaboration between Kaskade & singer song-writer Colette. Great melodic tune and nice to see Kaskade going back to its creative roots. Hope you like it! A bientôt Qtπ and Xtian

2021 Mai En Mai, fais ce qu’il te plaît! “En Mai, fais ce qu’il te plaît!” French proverb meaning “In May, do what you please”, which is basically what this latest upload is. Just tracks we felt like mixing together. Dark Progressive, deep with some world music tune and a lot of instrumental. Tracks, which normally would not make the cut because they lack a hook or melodic instant gratification. Set will not be everyone cup of tea. Best consumed on a run, walk or immersed in a book or your own thoughts. Next set will start with Dua Lipa so DO NOT DESPAIR!  Playlist:   2019 Magical (Cassian Remix Extended Mix).

2021 April Deep, Dark Drops Deep, Dark, Progressive House drops. Starts with a Pink Floyd track remixed recently, continues with mostly 2021/2020 tracks courtesy of the new generation of Progressive royalty. Nora En Pure, Yotto, Franky Wah, Soul Button, Oliver Koletzki and Kidnap. To be consumed at home or on a cold journey. It is not chilled though kept in the low bpm range, best described as music for those days when happy and uplifting will not do. No edits, accapellas, one shots or mash, just the tracks concentrating on building an atmosphere through hopefully flawless live mixing. Playlist:  2020 Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Purple Pill Edit).

2021 March Private Party Eclectic Chills Eclectic Chilled Progressive House with a world music feel. Maltese, Spanish and French current sounds. Just be open and receptive. I remember my brother listening to Tangerine Dream (founded in 1967) and Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman” (1981) way, way back! To be able to mix in such historical tracks and realize they BELONG in a 2021 progressive set shows on the one hand that progressive house is just the continuation of progressive experimental rock and on the other the quality and foresight of the original artists. Word of caution: though not explicit, there are some naughty accapellas. If your children speak spanigh, well, you'll have some explaining to do..  Laurie AndersonLaura Phillips Anderson (born June 5, 1947) is an American avant-garde artist, composer, musician and film director whose work spans performance art, pop music, and multimedia projects.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurie_Andersonhttps://laurieanderson.com Tangerine DreamTangerine Dream is a German electronic music band founded in 1967 by Edgar Froese.

Tempo 124 bpm @ 宀 Still in the soulful disco vibe, very melodic and levelling at 124 bpm for a couple of sets. There is a quasi-esoteric debate on the House scene, whether the natural tempo of house is 4 to the floor and 122 bpm or 4 to the floor and 124 bpm. We like our house served between 124 and 126, neither too chilled nor too spicy. You’ll be the judge! Tribute to the 宀 Club, so underground/cool it hasn’t got a name!!

2020 Dec In a Soulful Spirit! Big voices and House Divas. Very NYC except one track, mostly Soulful House with some funky Deep House to keep it hopefully interesting. A couple of House classics you will recognize and a brand-new release from Sandy Rivera of KOT fame. Dropped one of my favourite soulful, funky tunes of all time, “Don't Look Any Further”, the Babysitters & Deep Criminal Remix with a massive Sax supporting the melody line. Total bliss.  But somehow slotted “Drop the Pressure” which disturbed the flow just a tad... The perils of live sets. Building up to higher BPM Soulful and by that time, felt more in control of the journey.   Playlist:  2017 This Is House (Mattei & Omich Extended Remix) [Qtπ Let the Music Edit].

2020 Nov the 29th For Luc (Happy 18th) For Luc C. Tried, as per your wishes, to keep the vocals to a mandated strict minimum. Hope your favourites are there. Mostly new tunes, at the confines of Progressive House and Trance. Starts and ends with arguably the best remix of 2020, Tinlicker's take of Robert Miles classic “Children”. At least your parents will have passed on to you a decent taste in music!  Playlist:  2020 Children Extended Mix (Xtian DJ Edit).

2020 Nov Where Do We Go From Here? Start with melodic progressive tracks hooks to slip into a bit of Tech House to return to melodic progressive and round the bend again. A Faithless remix of the new Dido track and a couple of double drops for reasons still unclear. The daze of the night possibly. “Where do we go (from here)” is a new remix from an Alan Parson’s Project 80’s track. The APP was a Progressive band back then and the WEISS/Romero remix gives the track justice. Picking up the release pace as it would be nice to leave the progressive realm and have a play with other genres. Playlist:  2020 Midnight The Hanging Tree (MK Remix Extended). HOSH, 1979, Jalja 2020 Where Do We Go ((Extended Mix). Harry Romero, Weiss 2020 Together (Faithless Remix vs. Original Mix) [Qtπ Edit]. Dido, R Plus 2020 Voyage (Original Mix).

2020 Nov Sugar and Spice & All Things Nice "The first upload was corrupted. If you downloaded it, you will have to delete and redo. Sorry!" Still in the Progressive House realm. Deep, Dark, Tech Progressive tunes with a few sugar hits in between and, yet gain, a dollop of Qtπ edits. They worked live not sure if they pass the post-cast test. You’ll be the judges. Possibly the first Tiesto tune every featured on House is a Journey, less EDM and released under his real name Ver:West. Nice tune! Set ended up featuring 4 tracks from Nora En Pure. Massive year for her! Striving to get to deep, funky and soulful by December but not yet there. Playlist:  1708 Toccata (Intro Church Organ Mix). J.S.

5 years ago, 130 people were butchered in the streets of Paris, most were under 30 years old who were going to a rock concert on a friday night. Never forget, never find any excuses. Very current set with all tunes released in 2020 but two. A mostly dark progressive tone with sugar interspaced with 3/4 tunes to get you humming and moving. Possibly far too many edits and overly ambitious mashups but that’s how it felt on the night. Will resume the normal course of affair afer this set. As for some Deep or Soulful house, it will come in December. Patience! Playlist:  2020 Everything I Wanted (Bootleg Mix) [Qtπ Edit].

2020 Nov In Memoriam of Samuel Paty Samuel Paty beheaded at 32 years old for nothing else than doing the greater calling of his profession: teaching teenagers the rights and duties of future citizens. A true martyr of Free Speech. The same week, Jose Padilla of Café del Mar fame, to whom we owe the Chill Out Balearic sound passed away. This set is inspired by both. Let no one, under ANY weak, woke excuses defend the action of the murderer. And it continued in Nice and Wien. We needed a motivation to start mixing again, we found it. Best way to describe the set: Music for connaisseur (hate the English spelling). Chilled blend of old and new, high quality tunes, Padilla, old Sade and Phil Collins tunes and even Paul McCartney! Eclectic but bitter sweet and a lot of easter eggs if you listen to it carefully. Playlist:   2017 Collateral Damage (Original Mix vs. Tritonal Remix) [Qtπ Edit].

Divine Essence Free Speech is a fundamental human right, cherish it as it was hard fought. Do not cancel people but debate them with proof checked facts. Be tolerant to other’s beliefs but never, ever yield on their’s or your’s right to Freedom of Speech. A bientôtXtian & Qtπ

Sole ambition to make you smile, dance and play with the new decks. Unedited, live from the box and it surely shows at times but we had heaps of fun. Surprisingly current with a few edits and mashups. Have fun. Just feel like getting away from Progressive and Balearic for a bit and reconnect with the roots of house with soon a deep one coming up. Playlist:  2019 Heaven (Mousse T’s E-Funk Extended Mix) [Qtπ In the Spirit Edit].

2020 May The “200” Milestone Pt.1 200 uploads of “House is a Journey”, 50Gb of fully paid tracks, more than 500,000 plays, 55K likes and ca. 1,500 followers. To a large extend, this space is therapy but hopefully we have shared our absolute love and respect for eclectic house music. For this milestone, here is something different! Our first Chill/Lounge set. No beat-mixing, just harmonic mixing in the flow of Chicane’s 20 years production of chilled tunes. From Classical and Choral music to Balearic ambient Trance and Breaks, all from Chicane, artist which we celebrate and respect. Please give us 90 minutes and share our journey into impeccably produced music. Hopefully, you feel the love, the emotions and the peace we want to part with. And YES … we will get you to dance, but not after reaching enlightenment through emotive chill...  Thanks for the support for the last 10+ years. Always amazed at the numbers, the likes and the comments. Truly grateful for the feedback. One last thing… To all listeners, PAY for your music, at the very least pay for Spotify and if you feel crazy, actually BUY a tune or an album. Pay for creative content!  Playlist: 2010 Barefoot (Original Mix).

2019 Dec Let there be (Head Candi NYD 2020 Vision Party) house! Wishing everyone a good year in 2020. I know I really need it! Second part of House is a Journey & HeadCandi NYD party. The Dance Session For clubbers and dancers alike, New Year’s Day Party, overlooking the Pacific Ocean Starts with a 2019 remix of Madison Avenue dance classic “Don’t Call Me Baby”. Gives away the fact that this is not a challenging set. Meant to make you feel happy and dance. Included a four-way Monster Mash, which I am not unhappy about. The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels.   A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like. The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads. Ninth episode runs from 125 bpm to 130 bpm. Not challenging but for one ghetto house track, which is fun and short. Playlist:  2019 Don’t Call Me Baby (Mousse T vs Super Disco Club Remix). Madison Avenue, Mousse T.2019 Funky Like That (Random Soul Vocal Mix). Dave Mayer & DJ Roland Clark2005 Strings of Life (Martijn Ten Velden Mark Knight Toolroom Mix).

Shane D, Grant Nelson, South Central, Frankie Knuckles, Candi Staton, Xtian, House is a Journey2014 Your Love (Your Love (Director's Cut Signature Mix vs. Shapeshifters Remix). Frankie Knuckles, Director's Cut, Jamie Principle, The Shapeshifters2010 Rapture (Avicii New Generation Extended Mix). Nadia Ali, Avicii Highlights: Stuart’s Olejay ‘s mashup bootleg of “Strings of Life vs. Shine on Me”. Brilliant! My four-way Monster Mashup “Your Love Fades in Strings of Candi” combining “Fade” from Solu, “Your Love” from Frankie Knuckles, “Strings of Life” of South Central and “You’ve Got the Love” from Candi Staton. Have to thank and credit Sahne D and Grant Nelson from whom I got the base. The will be a tenth episode of HeadCandi (Deeper) but not sure when I will upload. A bientôt. Xtian

2019 Dec Let there be (Stereo Sushi NYE Pt.1) house! Wishing everyone a good year in 2020. I know I need it! First part of House is a Journey & HeadCandi NYE party. The Soulful session. For real House freaks. I’ve included some recent cuts of house classics and veered off into some twisted souful and ghetto house. A couple of Ghetto house tracks might throw you out, indulge me. Starts with a 2018 David Penn remix of Peter Heller’s anthemic Soulsearcher’s “Big Love”.  The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HK ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them, discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels.   A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like. The “Let there be House” series is my attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes.

Roland Clark2019 When House Was Young (Cubanix Remix). Roland Clark, Cubanix2017 Funky Like That (Jask’s Old School Vibe Mix). Dave Mayer & DJ Roland Clark   Highlights: “Big Love” because it is and has always been a foundation track. “You Change My World” from Marc Evans because it will be one of the last track I shared with my previous life. “The Comeback” and “When House Was Young”, because Roland is a House legend who started the whole PA movement. A bientôt. Xtian

2019 Dec Let there be (beach boys) house! The Hed Kandi album art from Jason Brooks, fab as it was, wasn’t very gay friendly, with scores of Hed Kandi babes but not even one for the boys. After scouring the web, I finally found a pastiche of HED Kandi with a beach babe/boy. In a similar summer vibe than the first instalment of the HeadCandi series, beach tunes with a hint of tropical house. And a couple of tracks of a composed and sang by Marc Evans, a favourite of mine and the Barry White of this millennium. Starts with a Steven Stone remix a great Italian tune “Un Amore di Favola”.

2019 Dec Let there be (beach) house! Beach and Bargrooves. Starts chilled but you will end up on your feet. The pre-millennials will recognize the HedKandi homage. When CDs were still a thing and labels could make money, compilations such as the HedKandi ones were a must and introduce a whole generation to house in all its forms and iterations. We paid for them , discovered tunes and artists curated by the music directors of the labels. A very different landscape to the A.I. spotified generated playlists which due to the algorithm merely selects a very narrow sample what you are "supposed" to like. Here is an attempt to resurrect the genre with current tunes. There will be about 9 to 10 episodes in the “Let there be House” series, hopefully each with its unique flavour. No particular order but for the fact that we will go up tempo throughout the uploads. First episode runs from 112 bpm to 120, yet manages to get you on your feet. Needed to get out of the progressive trance vibe and needed some happy house! Had forgotten how easy it is to mix well-produced house! All sets are live and straight out of the mixer. Playlist: 2018 Sensation (Original Mix). Moe Turk2019 Feeling You (Extended Mix). Mike D' Jais2019 Shape (Original Mix). Magnifik, Cam Nacson2018 Give You Up (Summer Vibe Mix). RunSQ feat. Emma Brammer2019 Let’s Stay Home (A Director-s Cut Classic Club Mix Remastered).

2019 Dec Nocturnal Series “Rabbit Hole” Should be the last Progressive House upload for 2019. Attempted to close the year with a good one. Sasha, Depeche Mode, Nora En Pure, CamelPhat, Howling and Rüfüs du Sol make up a great playlist. At the crossover between Indie/Alternative and House, which is the space were most of the great tunes are recently coming from.A few Xtian’s Edits, with 2 half-decent original mashups. The Dub version of Finally is a bit off key and overly ambitious (sorry) but the mashups do work. Playlist:  2019 Stole the Night (Oliver Koletzki Remix) [Xtian Togetherness Edit]. Howling 2019 Homebound (Original Club Mix) [Xtian Finally Dubbed Edit]. Nora En Pure 2019 Incognito (Paul Angelo Don Argento Remix) [Xtian KOT Mashup]. Stiven Rivic, Michael & Levan 2018 Vinternatt (Nora En Pure Sons of Maria Remix) [Xtian Feel Love Mash] .Danijel Kostic 2017 Out of Time (Original Mix).

Adam Stark 2019 Samsahra (Höhnflug Remix). Freya [CH] 2019 Inception (Extended Mix). Eddie Murray, Veronica Moran 2019 No One Home (Stylo Kintar Remix). Ana Criado 2018 No Time for Hulk (Camelphat Re-Fix, Erik Hagleton 2018 Vocal Edit). DJ Wady, Patrick M. 2019 Bird Feeder (Extended Mix) [Xtian Fly Away Mash]. Tinlicker 2019 Rabbit Hole (Extended Mix). CamelPhat, Jem Cooke 2019 Solace (Lastlings Remix). Rüfüs Du Sol 2011 Never Let Me Down Again (Eric Prydz Remix). Depeche Mode  Highlights: “Never Let Me Down Again” from Depeche Mode. They started it and are still relevant. “Stole the Night” from Howling. Haunting, driving tune with pure production courtesy of Oliver Koletzki. Perfect example of the crossover between Indie and Progressive house. Howling (a semi local Australian band) doesn't make your run of the mill music. They make music that is full of emotion, richness, melody and a unique pop sound. Howling is composed of Innervisions core artist and one half of Âme, Frank Wiedemann, and RY X of The Acid. As for Oliver Koletzki, he seems to pop up frequently on my radar. Born in Braunschweig, he is a German dance/house music producer and DJ. He is currently based in Berlin, Germany. “Artic Voices” further down in the set also shows his immense talent.https://howlinghowling.comhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3WTWOrIS77vY3hkCFqTyIw?si=qwlSEOUVSE6Qyg2XCu9j0Ahttps://www.facebook.com/howlinghowling/https://www.facebook.com/OliverKoletzki/ “Homebound” from Nora En Pure (love what she does). Might have butchered it with my KOT dub. Still, great keys from Nora. “Out of Time” from Sasha… Because it is a great techno/progressive track and because Sasha is with Paul Oakenfold and Tiestö one of the 3 real superstar DJs. Rüfüs du SOL “Another Life” and “Solace”. What a talented song writer coupled with an interesting voice! No wonder all the great remixers are working his tunes. Rüfüs Du Sol, styled as RÜFÜS DU SOL is an Australian alternative dance group from Sydney, that consists of Tyrone Lindqvist, Jon George and James Hunt. With Eli & Fur, Nora En Pure and Rae, my favourite “new” songwriter. https://www.rufusdusol.com/?frontpage=truehttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5Pb27ujIyYb33zBqVysBkj?si=EOQlUDhoQNCmI4dvRhwv0Qhttps://www.facebook.com/rufusdusol/ “No One Home” from Ana Criado. Ana Criado is a frequent vocalist on a ton of trance tracks. What I did not know is that she is also a great songwriter. BIG TRACK!https://www.facebook.com/AnaCriadoMusic/https://www.beatport.com/artist/ana-criado/140691https://open.spotify.com/artist/74wwiRVGGmTpYiU2l1olVU?si=qrG-v1yUQh6sLi5qdrFpIg I should really credit the CamelPhat tunes and the the No Time for Hulk tech number. But running out of time. Lots of good tracks in this uploads. I have exhausted the backlog of Progressive and Trance. I feel like listening to lighter and happier tracks and reconnect with Soulful and Deep House. That’s where I will be for the next few uploads of 2019. A bientôt. Xtian

TranceMission “The Final Cut” Pt.2 (Life Happens) Balearic Progressive Trance with once again a pretty current playlist of tunes I had never used except for a few of my classics which belonged in a testimonial upload. Fitting for what could be my last upload for a while. Lars this one is for you! As the title says “Life Happens” and life has not been too kind for the last two years. This place is my solace and sanctuary and Trance is my therapy. Riding that wave again for 122 to 138 bpm and back. Balearic Trance but for most real Trance for EDM music lover only. Set ended up being 2 hours and 12 minutes. Indulgent but so be it if it is my last.  Playlist:  2019 Those Were the Days (R Plus Beach Remix). Dido, R Plus    2010 Shine on Girl me (Bsh Mashup).

Take your time as it is a long set, but there are some real gems in there. Find them! Xtian

Trance Mission “The Final Cut Pt.1” (Let Go)Fusion of (mostly) current higher bpm Trance and Progressive house. Set was originally 02:30:00 hours, thought I would spare you the massive data charge and cut it in two parts.Mostly Trance I have never used before meshed with a few of my classics. Are you ready for it? Most probably not!I hesitate to call it Trance as it is meant to be fusing Trance and House into Trouse. Yet, the set is well within the Trance realm going from 122 bpm to 134 riding that emotional wave up and down, with highs and lows, builds and drops, bridges and precipices… as a journey into Trance should be.There is nothing harder (at least for me) than to mix a decent Trance set. The bpm range mostly disallow beat synch and every track needs to be worked and properly cued. Furthermore, it needs a structure and needs length to cover all the emotions of a good trance roller coaster.Finally, finding good, non-insipidly commercial Trance requires a lot of crate digging if ones wishes not to repeat every time the same classics. Anthems as they may be, they also need a rest!Anyhow, here we are, possibly the last chapters of the Trance Mission. It is a very post-produced set. There was hardly anything live about it! I do hope you will enjoy it and Spotify the new tracks or, here is a novel idea, actually BUY THEM! One warning. I get a lot of comments, both positive and negative on the accapellas add-ins. Well, it is my quirk and my creative signature, for better or worse. Playlist :  2010 Sax (Yasmin Le Bon vs. Simon Steur Remix) [Xtian Soul of a DJ Edit]. Ercola, Heikki L, Roland Clark 2018 Moonlight (Arron D Remix) [Xtian Difference Made Edit].

Samantha James 2015 Hold That Sucker Down (Jerome Isma-Ae’s 10 Year Anniversary Mix) [Xtian Epic House Edit]. Jerome Isma-Ae, Roland Clark  Highlights: I will only mention the new tunes.“Sax” from Ercola. Sax, Trance and House… Nice trio if you ask me. Thought it would be a good track to open the set. Mashed up 2 different remixes to have a slow soulful break in the middle. Veikka Erkola is a Finnish producer, songwriter and engineer.https://open.spotify.com/artist/7MocD7vMCHqPu8KV33lSLa?si=6bSQdMstRb6LFiy2BLSAlA“Moonlight” from Alex Greenhouse. Aleksandr Pletnev, a multi-genre musician from Samarkand, Uzbekistan. A slow driving progressive trance track, to bridge the set into Trance. Seems my edit has hit some buttons as I have had request for the edit file. I love what I did with the track, very much in my zone.https://soundcloud.com/alexgreenhousehttps://www.beatport.com/artist/alex-greenhouse/313854The Florence +The Machines anthem “Spectrum (Say My Name)”. A new remix, with grit and chops, which starts the journey into high bpm Trance.  Could not find much on the two remixers: Taito Tikaro and Flavio Zarza.https://open.spotify.com/artist/0gmu6abI9nakvXsGO1fnou?si=1mFS-qVyRH2xHlOwoowtnw“Let Go” with Holly Drummond on vocals and Jeremy Vancaulart. Classic Trance track, with the drop and builds and all the trimmings of the genre. I would get off with this track, if heard full blast. And the little piano bridge is delightful.Holly Drummond is a Scottish singer and songwriter. Her voice is poised, warm and never pushed out of range. Jeremy Vancaulart, Canadian from Toronto, producing Trance music that is deep, complex, expressive and impactful.https://monstercat.fandom.com/wiki/Holly_Drummondhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/24O8Ftz6AqboC3Uawbiw4r?si=R9LL0X83Rz-2otnJdvDP0Qhttps://www.beatport.com/artist/jeremy-vancaulart/288987https://open.spotify.com/artist/5ImELkd8OgfpnIKfvCSmX8?si=6JVeiO9NQkydcN-ebi0KXw“Just to Hear” and “Sunshine Blue” Denis Kenzo, Sveta B. Two lovely little trance/progressive sugary tracks. For some it might be too commercial and sugary…but I like my Trance with melodic moments and Sveta B. voice is heavenly. For me, the tunes would be fitting for those moments, where the wave is overpowering and one needs a “rest”. Could see myself, just hardly dancing but with a massive grin on my face.Born in Khabarovsk, Russia, Denis Kenzo (Denis Pisarev) is a DJ and music producer, who is well known in the trance music scene. He was a former member of musical duo Two&One.  Some of his compositions are recorded with the participation of his wife Svetlana Pisareva (Sveta B.) His label has been picked up by Armada.https://open.spotify.com/artist/5wvd4ChcVYMYVj393AWF5G?si=BSSpAr9ITT-4DkXK47mdsQhttps://www.facebook.com/svetabofficial/https://soundcloud.com/denis-kenzohttps://open.spotify.com/artist/66hvouo3QBf31PuetihmSQ?si=9L98Vl6CTfyOmm7rEQ9kcwhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Kenzo“All the Little Things” from the Thrillseekers. Full on 135 bpm Trance, with the trance vocal, the drop, the build… Classic! The Thrillseekers need no introduction. But if you do not like this track. You just do not like Trance.. which is OK but your loss J.Steve Helstrip, known by the stage name The Thrillseekers, is an English DJ and record producer. His debut single was "Synaesthesia", released in 1999… Yes, THAT Trance classic!https://www.thethrillseekers.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/thrillseekersofficial/“Nana” from Orkidea courtesy for Jerome Isma-Ae. THE TRACK OF THE SET! Tribal, Psy-Trance and House. A good Trance needs ONE massive track, which sets ravers off, the “rush” track and “Nana” is such a tune. The track, which will define Final Cut Pt.1.Tapio Hakanen, better known by his stage name DJ Orkidea (predominantly shortened to Orkidea), is a Finnish electronic music artist. DJ Orkidea has been one of Scandinavia’s top DJs for over 10 years. DJ Orkidea was employed as a sound design manager at Nokia Corporation. Not introducing German Producer Jerome Isma-Ae, as he is a regular here.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orkideahttp://djorkidea.comhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3OOGJRs38Dvkuyh9bqIvXk?si=q_9IeGVWSQeY3JpL8fAlvQhttp://www.jeromeisma-ae.com“Under the Stars” from Tydi. I need to bring it down and it is a nice bridge track. Mashed it up with “Hallelujah Anyway” Candi Staton soulful house anthem.  Actually, not unhappy with my effort but then… I “had” to mix it with a sped up version of the classic and pure Trance goers might disapprove and I am not totally sold on this track in the middle of a Trance set. This being said was quite proud of myself with the mashup, hence the Larse remix drop.“Angel on My Shoulder” and “Waves of Change” two of my progressive trance faves and there had to be a couple!“Hold That Sucker Down”, from the aforementioned Jerome Isma-Ae. Pure Trance/Prog big pad anthem, edited and as far as I am concerned, the perfect track to both close the set, bring you up, give you the tingles and goose bumps and define what Trouse is for me. Trance indeed.. but with soul! I will be back soon with TranceMission Pt.2Hope you enjoy it. A bientôt. Xtian

TranceFusion (Empty Streets) Balearic Progressive Trance. First track "Empty Streets" is only a teaser. You WILL get a double dose of new Empty Streets remixes at the end of the set .. But you have to EARN IT! :) Slowly re-embarking on the Trance voyage. I realized I had not uploaded "new Trance" since the beginning 2016. Starting here at the confine of Progressive and Trance. What prompted the change of mindset? Two reasons: I looked at "House is a Journey" Spotify plays and was surprised that all the Trance uploads are getting large numbers of plays. Lars, a follower from way back, had requested some new Trance tunes. "Lars, I have another episode of Trance Mission lined up after this one. Pure Trance, Ganz für Dich, bitte warte eine woche!"  Good Trance tracks, at least within what I find tolerable for 80 minutes, are few and far between! Either it is insipid commercial Trance or 138 bpm frantic tunes I really cannot listen to for that long.Yet, between some remixed or re-edited classics and enough new tunes, I can comfortably go back to the Trance, mix new and old and proudly keep the flame lit.Set started to overrun the 80 minutes format and I will post a follow-up pure Trance Mission episode in the next few weeks.It will mark the end of Progressive House and Trance for a little while! Most probably will go deep or soulful. In the meantime get some glow sticks, get sorted, put the proper gear on and embark! Playlist:  2019 Empty Streets (Lumisade Extended Balearic Mix) [Xtian Space Disco Edit]. Late Night Alumni 2015 Peace of Mind (Thomas Schwartz Fausto Fanizza Remix). Above & Beyond, Zoe Johnston 2019 Patience (Mees Salome Remix).

2019 Oct 浦东 Pudong Progressions  Progressive House mostly chilled and non-vocal with a hint of Trance peppered throughout. Very current tunes except a pair of underground classics. Pudong (浦东) (East of Pu): the “new” Shanghai, a glimpse of what the 21st century megapolis will be. Whereas Puxi is vibrant, happening, alive, Pudong feels (I stand to be corrected bu locals) like a magnificent shopfront, built to impress but somewhat stale and lifeless. Set came about through a rather depressing night looking at the magnificent but sad view from my hotel room.  Playlist:  2019 Coming Back (Original Mix). Eli & Fur 2013 Reckless Ardor (Original Mix). EDX 2019 Shake the Tree (Extended Mix). Simon Field 2019 Electrico Romantico (SDJM Extended Remix). Bob Sinclar, Robbie Williams, SDJM 2017 I Can’t Stop It (Extended Mix). Fynn, Andrew Benson 2018 Chemicals (Original Mix). Yotto 2019 Little Devious (Original Mix).

Lane 8, Tinlicker 2019 Definition (Ilhan Gumus Remix). Mr. V, Ilhan Gumus 2019 Trans (Original Mix). Lily Pita  Highlights: I could really list every track in the set. But let’s try to focus on a few. “Coming Back” from Eli & Fur, it seems every recent upload contains an Eli & Fur tune. British female duo, currently at the very top of Progressive production and song writing.https://www.eliandfur.com “Chemicals” from Yotto and “Little Devious” from Dirty South, two gems of productions at the confines of house and trance.  “Shake the Tree” from Simon Field. From Denmark , 40M streams from Spotify. A producer/DJ to look out for. Did the score from Passengers.https://soundcloud.com/simonfieldofficialhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/2S0tj8IQ2ytFKa5HdCni57 I am often asked about my fixation on Mr V…. Listen to the H.O.U.S.E. remix included in the set. Released in 2012 (!) and you will hear how unique and advanced his production is. Furthermore, he would be one of the few African American accepting of all the genres in house music. Total respect. “H.O.U.S.E”., “Definition” and “Piano Dance” to showcase the breadth of his talent.https://open.spotify.com/artist/659qXyHaiMTKxFjBMMDpo8 “Patience” and “Maybe” featuring Mees Salomé. Massive new talent from the Netherlands. Best to describe what he does as perfectly produced melodic progressive trance. https://www.beatport.com/artist/mees-salom/606927https://soundcloud.com/mees-salomehttps://open.spotify.com/artist/3vcY5vaGqSQF6UA9N2iC4L?si=IuNg7fJdQ1SvdGWu5YudLg Trans by female producer/dj Lily Pita. Just the perfect balance of Trance and Progressive.  From Indonesia supported by no less than legend John Digweed. Worth putting your headphones on for this one.. https://www.beatport.com/artist/lily-pita/571402https://soundcloud.com/djlilypitahttps://open.spotify.com/artist/1GH9FBOXIZoUW6RvFWTdcM?si=Zhx-61VxRAGamEqoBe-Y8w A bientôt from Puxi side Xtian

2019 Oct 浦西 Puxi Progressions Apologies had to take it down and re-upoload as version was not final one. Buyers beware! Set may start Dark & Progressive but you will end up straight on the dance floor.. The counterpoint of Pudong Progressions uploaded previously. To a certain extend almost bipolar. Puxi (浦东) (West of Pu): the “old and traditional” Shanghai, unlike Pudong, Puxi is vibrant, beaming of culture and style. Both hip and representative of the best a very confident China can offer. The place to be and the place to go out and find the best a modern metropolis has to offer. Very cool. Set got a life of its own as I progressed. Until track 6 “The One You Left Behind” a melodic, dark progressive set and then ... it started building up. I did not realize until it was too late. Very much what Puxi is: elegant and stylish but also vibrant and happening. Playlist: 2019 Drift Away (Original Mix) [Xtian !00% House Edit]. Mika Olson 2015 I Had This Thing (Original Mix). Royksopp 2019 The Moon (Soul Button Remix). Nick Devon, Soul Button 2018 Elephant Shunned (Solee Extended Remix).

2019 Aug What is Nu Disco? (again..) Edited the title since i used it way back then. Appears I am still unsur eof waht Nu Disco is... First current set for 12 months with a lot of 2019 releases. In China, other sets should follow. For those enjoying the last rays of the European summer, take the set to the beach, for those who live at the bottom end, take it to the gym or a spin. With the proliferation of House genres, I ended up buying a fair bit of nu disco, which prompted me to wonder what Nu Disco really is. Disco fused with House, synthesizer-heavy production, 2020 Balearic dance music fused with Indie is what it seems to amount to.  Playlist:  2019 Feeling You (Extended Mix). Mike D' Jais 2018 It's Not Right but It's Okay (DJ Rebel Remix). Mystique, DJ Rebel 2019 Shape (Original Mix). Magnifik, Cam Nacson 2018 Our Love (Original Mix).

Moon Rocket  Highlights: Apart from most of the tracks being current, try “It's Not Right but It's Okay” and “Hit It Off” fun tracks! As for the 2 Moon Rocket tracks ending the set, not only they are good but gives me the opportunity to highlight the immense talent of Raffaele Scoccia, aka “Moon Rocket”, a Producer/DJ classically trained composer accomplished piano and Hammond organ player based in New York City. Check him out on: http://www.moonrocketmusic.com/biography/ https://www.traxsource.com/artist/70998/moon-rocket A bientôt  Xtian

Massive talent, Mr V. is House for me, to a certain extend more so than Frankie K, RIP… "Definition" is a masterpiece of sexyness, finesse. Pure perfection! But the Purple Disco reboot of an Ibiza classic, “Swimming Places” and the very clever Ferreck Dawn tune “In My Arms” equally deserve the focus as well. A bientôt! Xtian

2019 Aug Come on! Roll with me on this one! Music with swag and attitude. Surrender 15 minutes of your audio-time and your body will tingle and your feet and shoulders will move to the rhythm. Sexy,Deepish, Tech House, at times jackin’ with a hint of nu-disco.One of my favourite set for a long time. I had started buying some tech House in late 2017, bored as I was with soulful beats and as always struggling mixing “real” full on Deep sets without any vocals. I started to think Tech was where some real original tunes where going.Anyhow, give this one a real go! You may surprise yourself liking it and dancing to what is no far from underground NYC house beats. Playlist: 2018 Back to You (Original Mix). Mike Vale, Angel Anx 2016 Keep It Comin' (Sante Cruze Remix). Crazibiza, Sante Cruze 2018 We Get High from the Music (Original Mix). Mark Knight, Mr. V 2018 Keep Going (JERK In The Box Remix).

The Journey Men 2018 In Arms (Extended Mix). Ferreck Dawn, Robosonic  Highlights: I have two fav in this set, “Keep Going” and “In Arms”but I could have highlighted most.. “Keep Going” need to find more remixes. Great melody, vocalist is Ellice (amazing voice). As for Jerk IN the Box, it is a dynamic duo of Dj Producers Fernando Opera & Luca Onere from I believe Italy. Internet resource: https://soundcloud.com/jerk-in-the-box “In Arms” from Ferreck Dawn (Dutch producer and DJ) and Robosonic (Cord Labuhn) produced that perfect crossover track. Techie, Hip…an absolute little gem. Finally, do not miss the 2014 bootleg of missing. Techie with an odd change of key and style in the middle but always keen to find new take of my absolute fav tune. A bientôt Xtian

2019 Aug Back in the Building (through the Deep Door) Deep House, suitable for loungin’, eating, reading. I have been told “Deep House” is boring, my answer is right here, just give the music time to get to you. Do not force it. I recently was eating in an upmarket restaurant in Rome. Setting was uber-cool as expected, food amazing but the soundscape was just passable. As it is the sort of brand of eateries found in most of the cool cities of the world, they can (should) command the perfect soundscape for dining. The requirements are a great sound system able to project pure sound at a low volume and a crafter who understands that the sound has to adapt to the crowd volume. Late PM, early evening, we want to hear the sound, during full service, we do not, late service we do but at a low yet discernible volume. Finally, whoever puts it together needs to have a script, an intention and obey one simple rule: low, up, peak, low. Nothing more irritating than background music that is either overpowering out conversations or just as bad, music that we cannot hear due to the background noise and that we would prefer off as it serve no purpose. Well, here is my take. Use it for whatever purpose you want, this is accompanying music, you can zone out to it but it should/will bring you back in at times and that is the beauty of a soundscape. It is around you not “on” you.  Playlist: 2018 Summer in Greece (ZaVen Remix). Kavi Kavini, ZaVen  2018 Tree of Life (Atjazz Remix). Dave Anthony, Eman, Atjazz  2015 Take Me Down (Original Mix).

Ferdinand Weber 2018 More into You (Hypnotized) (Original Mix). Baltimore Chop  Highlights: “Inspired” by Deep Grounder because it is a deep house classic and magnificently produced.“The Message” for it is says about House and because Yves Muscara is one of the most consummate producer of House music. This set ought to be taken as a whole, each tune brings something to the party. Give it a go! A bientôt Xtian

From way, way back in 2017.. I litterally had lost it. Originally called: 2017 March Chinese Chills Ep.2 (A stone's throw way from the very Democratic Republic of North Korea) (Oops.. I had forgotten to publish this.. from mid-March.. 2017) Chinese Chills Ep.2 (A stone's throw way from the very Democratic Republic of North Korea) Going Up-tempo from Episode 1 yet still within the chilled Progressive vibewith a hint of Nu-Disco. Continuing the series of sets dropped during a recent horrid trip in China. In this episode, whilst travelling in North China, my flight was rerouted to a military airport a stone throw away from North Korea. Suffice to say, I was a bit perplexed and ended up booking a 300 km Uber ride (well Didi the Chinese version of Uber), getting away as fast as I could from the Democratic paradise. Recent progressive tunes with a couple of twisted nu-disco oldies... If you listen carefully, you will even recognize an ABBA classic. Would not call this set a must-have but give it a listen.  Playlist:  2017 Calling Out Your Name (Original Mix). Mass Digital 2017 Luv Deluxe (Jody Wisternoff & James Grant Remix). Cinnamon Chasers 2016 Frozen (LTN Sunrise Remix).  Christina Novelli, Roman Messer 2016 Do You Want (Original Mix).

Neja  Highlights:“That Feeling” with Rae on vocal duties and Nora en Pure’s “Diving with the Whales” are the two stand-outs. I should be back soon with Episode 3, then a live set from a party I played at and then we will go back to Deep House for a little while. A bientôt. Xtian

2019 July Sugar Pills Reboot 3.0 (Greek Glyka) Lie down, get a drink, listen and who knows… you might get the urge to break into a summer boogie. Just Sun and Sugar.. No spice. Summer Beach House tunes. Nothing else.  Not at all in the headspace to listen, let alone mix tunes but as I am cleaning up my hard drive, I found this one, which had been mixed at the same time than the 2019 Jan Sugar Pills Reboot. Similar vibe and was polished in July whilst in Greece.  Playlist:  2018 Never Be Alone (Koolstyle Remix). Sebb Junior, Tasha LaRae, Koolstyle 2013 Groovejet (Original Mix). Lissat & Voltaxx, Marc Fisher 2018 I Feel (DJ Spen Disco Dreams Re-Edit).

Seductive Souls, Onita Boone, Mousse T. 2012 I Cannot Believe It's True ( Mikeandtess Funky Bootleg Edit). Phil Collins  Highlights: First and foremost, “Say Mamma” a Italo disco rendition of a classic, think Michael Jackson meets Giorgio Moroder. High quality!Dr Packer newish remix of an absolute House classic “Big Love”. Love the tune, love this version. The epitomes of beach tune.The Mousse T remix of Calvin Harris’ “Promises”, overplayed tune as it may have been, is by far the best work on what is a very good track.“Waves” from Nora En Pure.. This girl has talent, no doubt.“Distant Bar” by Gutterstylz with the immense Astrid Suryanto. Top 3 female vocalists. Her voice range is amazing and her tone is SO pure. A bientôt Xtian

2019 March Tranc-Itions (the Running up that Hill Set) “Do you want to feel how it feels?Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?You, it's you and me.And if I only could,I'd make a deal with God,And I'd get him to swap our places,Be running up that road,Be running up that hill…” Classic Vocal Trance anthems because I needed it. Life still non-linear and sometimes only trance will heal. Nothing particularly original but a few new cuts of old anthems and by far the best Rapture medley I have put together. I had a few lighter ones already uploaded in late 2018 but could not get myself to press the publish button.

2018 Sept China: The Harder Set Progressive House and light Trance with new remixes and edits of classic tunes. More than a few Xtian’s edit and mashups, probably too many. I should have uploaded this set ages ago as it was done simultaneously as the 2 previous one. Never got around to it and my shopping car tis bursting to the seam. Time to publish. Up in tempo and reflecting my mood at the time. A lot of tunes you know thrown in, give it a go, there is a lot of sugar towards the end. Life not simple currently, would expect it to be reflected in my choice of tunes. Cover art is a photo I took of street art I stumbled across whilst in Qinyang, Henan, China. Playlist:  2013 Aegean Breeze (Original Mix) [Xtian Elisentrasse Edit]. Processing Vessel, L-Kid 2018 After Earth (Extended Mix). Ben Böhmer 2018 When We Face Reality (Khen Bronzed Re-Edit) [Xtian Feel Love Edit]. Sahar Z, Navar 2018 One Kiss (ZHU Remix) [Xtian Feel Love Edit]. Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa 2018 Touch Me (Milkwish Remix) [Xtian Feel Love Edit].

Simioli 2018 Café del Mar (Tale of Us Renaissance Remix) [Xtian Need to Mash]. Energy 52 2018 Greece 2000 (Extended Mix) [Xtian Edit]. Ipanov 2014 Greece 2014 (Original Mix) [Xtian Edit]. Maliblue 2018 Rapture (Who Knows Remix). Mat Hold, Who Knows 2017 Missing (Extended Mix). Mark Sixma, Emma Hewitt  Highlights: A quick word on the 2 Everything but the Girl (EBTG) tunes. I look at EBTG as absolute master of the crossover between POP Music and House. Been Watt and Tracey Thorn collaborated to write, produce and perform tunes that are all classics, pushing the boundaries of both genres. They eventually had enough and both ventured into new artistic endeavours. Sad for us but probably perfect for them. “Temperamental”, great deep original tune, which remix I found on heartat.this, check it out I could not find whom to credit and a new remix of “Missing” in my absolute top 5 tunes. EBTG Internet resources: https://www.facebook.com/everythingbutthegirlofficial/ http://ebtg.com “The One You Left Behind” from Yotto. Otto Yliperttula, known professionally by his stage name, Yotto, is a Finnish DJ, songwriter, and record producer he has just realeased his first artist album “Hyperfall”. If you like deep progressive house, check him out. Absolute gem of an artist and producer. Internet resources: https://www.beatport.com/artist/yotto/114140https://www.facebook.com/yottomusic/ As to the mini-mix of Three Drives’ Anthem “Greece” and “Café del Mar”, a bit indulgent but will always have a weakness for the original Balearic sound and I am always on the look at for new takes on those tracks. A bientôt! Xtian

2018 August Crazy-Trippin’ in Shanghai Progressive House + Trance = TrouseGive this one a spin, it is a real journey! Have spent the last fortnight in China. First set straight from Pudong-Shanghai! A crazy trippin’ city indeed. Playlist:  2018 Crazy: Trippin, Pt. 2 (Sandy Rivera & DJ Rae Dub Mix vs Club Mix). DJ Rae, Sandy Rivera 2018 Rainbow (Album Version). Chicane 2018 Fear I Must First Let You Go (Album Version). Chicane 2014 All I Feel is You (Sandy Rivera & C Castels Club Mix). Natalia Safran 2018 Take Me Away (Original Mix). Meines ft.

Iy has been given a now life from Rae, Sandy Rivera and Hot Since 82.. DO NOT MISS! More of Chicane’s latest artist album “The Place You Can't Remember, The Place You Can't Forget”. Do yourselves a favour, for once pay for music and buy the album. “All I Feel is You” had forgotten how can this track is good. Natalia Safran vocals are haunting, Sandy’s & Castel’s production.. perfect. “So Many Times” a 2017 remix of one of my top 5 house tunes.. A bientôt Xtian

2018 Aug Vols de Nuit (CX178) Progressive House curated from 30,000 ft travelling to China. Your chillout companion or the appropriate soundscape to immerse yourself into a good book. Few vocals, deep progressive grooves and mostly current beats. Most of you know Antoine de St Exupery only through the quizzical “Petit Prince” (The Little Prince”). For us French, he was a VERY bad fighter and postal pilot but an amazing writer. Unsurprisingly, he died flying but left us with a short but amazing literary trail. One of his most famous books is “Vols De Nuit”, which, beyond the description of flying solo across the Atlantic and the Andes to deliver the mail in the 20’s and 30’s, depicts the introspection of a very lonely man facing his fate, knowing that the finality of his life could not be avoided. Somehow, whilst flying to China, St. Ex came back to me. Playlist:  2018 A Love That's Hard To Find (Dub Mix). Chicane 2015 All I Want (Album Version). Chus & Ceballos ft. Astrid Suryanto 2018 Missing (Sebastien Extended Remix). Mark Sixma, Emma Hewitt 2018 Creature (Stelios Vassiloudis Remix). TheGround, Florian Kruse, Hendrik Burkhard, Stelios Vassiloudis 2018 I Came Here for You (Album Version). Chicane 2018 Sooti (Eli Nissan Remix). Luka Sambe 2018 Parfume (Extended Mix). Eli & Fur 2018 White Clouds (Rene Bourgeois Remix). Marc Grabber, Bastian (SLO) 2014 All I Feel Is You (C. Castel’s Moon Rise Mix). Natalia Safran 2018 Tempelhof (Dmitry Molosh Remix). Nicolas Rada 2018 Rise (Original Mix). Sascha Cawa 2016 Greece 2016 (Original Mix). Halaros 2018 Never Enough (Allovers Retouch). Boris Dlugosch, Roisin Murphy, Allovers 2017 Dance Floor (Original Version). Max (BG), Danny (BG), Diva Vocal 2017 Tell Me Why (Chillax Remix). Nikolas Miyakis  Highlights: More from Chicane’s latest artist album “The Place you can’t remember, The Place you can’t forget”. Can’t urge you more to buy this album. Do not gloss over the little gems that are “ All I Want” with Astrid Suryanto, “Rise”, “All I  Feel is You” and “Never Enough”. Tunes, which may not be anthem but given a bit of exposure will grow on you. Will be back soon/A bientôt Xtian

August 2018 “For Those Who Stayed” Chilled Progressive House with a sprinkle of Balearic Trance. I love this one, I hope you will as well. Some context: from late June to most of July, my family went to Europe on a holiday and I stayed in wintery Melbourne. My presence here was necessary and the start of a lot of positive things, yet, I was nonetheless bittersweet and lonely. World Cup notwithstanding, (Allez les Bleus), I missed them terribly. Hence the darker and at times chilled and softer tone, interspaced with sun rays and Mediterranean rhythms and feel. A very, very current set (even the 2017 drops are from very late 2017. There is schadenfreude, emotions, sadness, hope. If all of it transpires, I have succeeded. In any case, a set I will listen to with pleasure once it settles. Check out my edits and last track mash-up. Playlist:  2018 Something Was Real (Original Mix). Eli & Fur 2018 Take it from Me (Extended Mix). Satin Jackets, Emma Brammer 2017 Gimme Your Love (Extended Mix vs Radio Edit). Enaya 2018 Ten Deep (Album Version) [Xtian Eilsenstraße Edit]. Chicane 2017 Twist in my Sobriety (Extended Mix). Microwave Monkeys ft. Nita 2018 Story (VetLove, Mike, Drozdov Remix) [Xtian Sunset Edit]. Sharapov 2018 Nirvana (Album Version). Chicane 2017 It's Too Late (Klein Aber Fein Allstars 2017 Edit). Jay Santi, Klein Aber Fein Allstars 2017 Elixir Tropical (Sharapov Remix). Rio Dela Duna, NerveStrain 2018 Musical Freedom (Paul Lock Remix). Pray for More, Barbara Douglas, Paul Lock 2018 A Love that's Hard to Find (LTN 'Sunrise' Extended vs. Swung Club Remix) [Xtian Groove Edit). Chicane, LTN 2017 Lost in Aegean (Omar Gharbi & Harry Big Room Remix). Omar Gharbi, Harry 2018 Running to the Sea. Chicane 2018 Saltwater (Sebastien Extended Remix). Chicane, Moya Brennan, Sebastien 2017 Hold Me Close (Original Club Mix). MING, Game Chasers 2015 Emhlabeni (Est8 Main Mix). Andyboi, Est8 2018 Greece 2000 (Sebastien Extended Remix) [Xtian Every Day Mash]. Three Drives On A Vinyl, Sebastien, Dajae  Highlights: Let’s start with Chicane. In the non-soulful, deep house realm, Chicane is by far my favourite artist! Because he is STILL an artist, someone who releases, lo and behold, “artist albums”, a concept most of the others have forgotten as it is not a smart commercial move. Not sure what’s going on in his personal life but there must be sadness and milestones because he just released a very personal album, probably his best for a decade “The Place You Can’t Forget, The Place You Can’t Remember”.https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/the-place-you-cant-remember-the-place-you-cant-forget/1380873958 Do yourselves a favour and buy the album! I won’t tell you why I chose the particular tunes in this podcast as I would like you to sample the album and will probably drop most of the album tunes in the course of the remaining year. “Nirvana“might be my favourite track of the year in the progressive realm Chicaneon the net: https://www.musicglue.com/chicane/https://www.armadamusic.com/artists/chicanehttps://www.facebook.com/chicanemusic/https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/chicane-presents-sun-sets/id745185047?mt=2 Last word on Chicane, a 2018 remix of “Saltwater” was released in June by none other than Sebastien, very nice take on a pure anthem. Eli & Fur’s “Something Was Real”. Fitting track to start the set. Summarizes my mood at the time and it is an absolute beautiful track. Haunting vocal and the production work is faultless. Today Eli & Fur are my favourite producers and song writers. And yes, we are talking about two young British women showing that EDM has also had its #metoo moment! Since their debut release in 2013, Eli & Fur have been perfecting a sound built around infectious melodies with deep driving bass lines topped with their distinguished brooding vocals. Their sound has developed into something unique and has earned them respect from some of the biggest names in the industry. Eli & Fur on the net: https://www.eliandfur.comhttps://soundcloud.com/eliandfurhttps://www.facebook.com/eliandfur/ Enaya’s “Gimme your Love”: not sure who Enaya is but she sounds like a fresh Rihanna. Do miss my “Story” from Sharapov. Great progressive sounds, very much what comes out of Russia currently and I am absolutely in love with the vocalist one! Can’t find much on Sharapov but have bought a few tracks from him, Progressive, nice low impact Trance. Sharapovon the net: https://www.facebook.com/sharapovmusic/https://soundcloud.com/sharapovmusichttps://vk.com/sharapovmusic “It's Too Late” from Jay Santi. WOW! This track has everything! Production, great vocalist and such a rolling groove and piano underline! Do not know much either on Jay Santi. He is Dutch and is always good for a real floor banger, no matter if it's funky or techy. Very cool producers and looking at my hard drive, just realized I have more than 20 tracks of his! Pray for More’s“Musical Freedom”. Do yourself a favour and check the track. Not only will you recognize what immense house classics it is the remix of (won’t spoil it for you), but you will be ON YOUR FEET and humming the tune in no time. Pray for Morerealm ranges from from funky, pumpin’ and jackin’ House to techy Disco vibes, ending up with percussive Tribal Grooves… The whole House package… Pray for More is the brainchild of Austrian born and raised DJ, Producer, Label Owner and Club Promoter, Roland Bartha. He’s not a newcomer to this scene, having more than 25 years of experience behind the decks, including a 5 year Residency at one of Ibiza’s biggest and most prestigious clubs, Es Paradis Terrenal. A set by Pray for More is mostly a set of completely unreleased stuff that will destroy any floor, ranging from funky, pumpin’ and jackin’ House to techy Disco vibes, ending up with percussive Tribal Grooves…  Pray for Moreon the net: https://soundcloud.com/pray-for-morehttps://www.facebook.com/prayformore2 With Omar Gharbi’s “Lost in Aegean” I both went to the dark side AND INTRODUCED a bit of Greek bouzouki to “House is a Journey”, well done Xtian ;). Pure House world music! London based DJ and Producer, Omar he is one of most requested DJ’s in London and on the international circuit. Demonstrating his own style in some of London’s most prestigious venues: Park Chinois, Buddha Bar London, Nozomi, Mayfair Club, Boujis, Penthouse, Tramp, Sugar Hut, Cafe Royal. Omar Gharbion the net: https://www.beatport.com/artist/omar-gharbi/603712https://soundcloud.com/omar-gharbi More Progressive house World music with Est8’s “Emhlabeni”. Est8 seems to appear as a remixer of most Spiritchaser’s production. Always perfectly on point unsure as to whether they are one and the same or a true entity. Love the middle-eastern feel, blended in the Mediterranean feel of the set. A duo from Chichester, UK, comprising of … Richard Earnshaw and Mark "Bamo" Bamford from the South Coast of England. With the two coming from different ends of the spectrum, Bamo from the DJ side and Richard from the production side, the ultimate result was a solid understanding of music right through the process of making to playing the tracks. Richard Earnshaw is most probably my favourite living house legend producer.. Here we go!  Est8, Spiritchaser on the net: https://soundcloud.com/spiritchaser-1 https://www.beatport.com/artist/spiritchaser/32937 Hope you like it A bientôt Xtian

Originally from Istanbul, Turkeyhttps://soundcloud.com/dorukozlenhttps://www.facebook.com/dorukozlen “In Praise of the Sun” perfect chilled out number I had to download from the dark web, as unavailable on any legal download site.Mr. Joshua is a Brian Higgins and Nick Coler project.They collaborated with Vanessa Quiñones and Nick Bracegirdle aka Chicane on "In Praise Of The Sun/Toujours Le Soleil" and produced a couple tracks for Saint Etienne on Finisterre.https://www.discogs.com/artist/44870-Mr-Joshua “Make Your Move” from Croatia Squad.

2018 April For the Mindful Soul Persevering in the soulful genre. Give this upload a try! Soulful indeed but also funky, sexy and surprisingly current as well. Always a challenge to find current soulful tracks and put a playlist together, which is both consistent, relevant and without two many old tunes. But I could feel this one was flowing my end. Somewhat it is a mini Marc Evans tribute… Best living original artist, creator and vocalist in the soulful genre. Embodies the soulful sound as far as I am concern and could very well be the Barry White of this century.  Playlist:  2018 One Religion (Original Mix). YAX.X, Zawdi MC 2017 You Change My World (Jamie Lewis Classic Vocal Mix) [Xtian Serenity Edit]. Jamie Lewis, Marc Evans 2018 Sky High (Melvin Gentry & DJ Spen Remix) .

Reza 2017 Enough (Michele Chiavarini Remix). Steven Stone, Marc Evans, Michele Chiavarini  Highlights: Marc Evans’ “You Change My World” the very sort of jam, which reunites me with the genre.https://www.traxsource.com/artist/2165/marc-evanshttp://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/318/marc_evans_on_the_brink/ “Four Letter Word” from Block & Crown. Love the energy, the authentic production, current soulful but totally immersed in the origins of the sound.https://www.facebook.com/BlockandCrownOfficial/ “One Religion” from Dutch producer YAX.X should become a House anthem for the tribal beats and the lyrics!https://soundcloud.com/djyaxx “Never Be Alone” chill beach house combining great production, melody and a great vocalist with Tasha LaRae.http://tashalarae.com/ “Larry's Jam” and “Can U Feel It”. Not sure if I love those tunes because of my edits (would be a sad thing) or because they sound sexy and fresh yet completely house authentic… I definitively would dance to that. John Julius Knight .. house music royalty.https://www.facebook.com/jonjuliusknight/https://www.residentadvisor.net/dj/johnjuliusknight/biography “Yes it Was” from Makito.. Some won’t like it but just for the organ... sweet!https://www.facebook.com/Makito-1417201958601066/  “This Ain’t Freedom”, sounds like a blast from the past and yet current. Roland Clark on the buns.. Love it!https://soundcloud.com/djrolandclarkhttps://www.facebook.com/djrolandclark/ “Enough” Marc Evans again but a lot of personal stuff emerging in this one.. Steven Stone a producer of immense talent. A bientôt Xtian

As I have just written long story and I am far from being done. This being said, it is a good, current and solid set You really should download and keep this one for a rainy day. Highlights:The Sandy Rivera’s title track. I heard it first live in Melbourne when the man himself came about 6 months ago. He was “trying” the track before the European season.. Instant hit! The two underground tracks “Delta” and “Don’t Miss”, great tribal beats and live guitar and some ethnicity on top. Ziger & Blusoul are from Athens. Another pair of great Greek Progressive producers. As for Jinadu and Fake Mood, could not find a lot of info on the former but Fake Mood are a duo of two great musicans Viktor Petrov and Dmitry Kokhan based in Saint-Petersburg.As for the last track “Insomnia”. Had a bit of a play with it but respect for Andrew Meller because it takes guts to try refitting such a Trance/Prog classic. fitting close for this set. https://soundcloud.com/zigerhttps://soundcloud.com/fake_mood Will post Part 2 shortly, enjoy this one. A bientôt Xtian

Dec 2017 The Progressive Clean-up (B-List) Progressive with a dash of Nu-House..  Got bored with it midway.. The set turned more high energy than originally intended with an overly ambitious mash-up! Be gentle with me, I am just getting reacquainted with the mixer. The general idea was to clean up the progressive folder and choose tracks to be played at a future party. This set includes the tunes, which, rightly or wrongly, did not make the cut. I simply have too much backlog to be too choosy.. Either tunes will never get a hearing or some sets will be just so so.. Could be one of those.. Playlist:  Ready or Not (Nu Deep Mix). Loungetronic Girl (Toly Braun Remix). DJ Aristocrat, Dave Baron, Toly Braun Lay on You (Mark Lower Remix).

2017 Dec Rebooting from the Deep End (Pt. 1 Taste this Love) “The news of my passing was greatly exaggerated”. Borrowing from Oscar Wilde or (Mark Twain who knows?) House is a Journey 2.0! Reboot.. Had to focus on more important issues for a while. Though I did play live and mixed at parties, I could not be bothered with tweaking and publishing. I have a few live raw sets on my drive, which will eventually be uploaded. I even have an uploaded yet unpublished set from April 2017, cannot remember why I failed to publish... I shall catch up shortly therefore expect lots of (hopefully half decent) music before the year end. Interesting that I eventually got going with Deep House, I was listening to the tunes of a friend of mine German-Greek producer, Petros Mitolis, and felt like… yeah, it is now TIME! House is a Journey is .. resurfacing! Philakia Petros! Playlist  2017 There's No Time To Waste (Original Mix).

Chinese Chills Ep.1 (30 hours to nowhere) Happy Birthday Denise! Told you.. I’ll House you! Downtempo Progressive house with a hint of Nu-Disco. Not referring to real Chill out but to the fact that I mixed those upcoming sets whilst travelling in China. The trip was horrid, when murphy’s law being the default mode. Furthermore, it was cold, chilling, freezing cold hence the title of the series. First episode was mixed during a 30 hours’ period, with 5 connections for a itinerary, which really ought to have taken half the time. Tired, pissed off and needing some soothing music. But if anything, this tempo 120/121 is my chill tempo. We are not talking about Chill Out Enya’s style but the type music I want to listen to in a hotel room, doing some work, relaxing but still needing a beat and yes sometimes a nu-disco beat. The underlying theme being trying to “House You” around new progressive tunes and a few new take on classic tunes. Hope you like it, a few new uploads coming your way very soon. I have a classic house mega set dropped live at a party on my hard drive, which will be uploaded once I get hrough my Chinese progressive sets. Playlist:  2016 What I Need (Original Mix) [Xtian When Words Fail I’ll House You Edit] .

Merry Xmas to all of you! Elements of a Dancer.. A combination of old progressive trance dance tunes with a small sprinkling of current clubby numbers and far too many Xtian EditsA very easy, meant to get you off your feet, festive and unashamadely commercial set..  I originally intended to publish the Shanghai Progressions Pt.2 back in September, had staggered the publishing of the uploads in order not to overload anyone but somehow it got lost in-between the cloud and the Chinese firewall. So be it! Lost forever.. Then, life got busy and I had no time to even think about tunes let alone mix anything.. A fortnight ago a friend reminded me that Xmas was approaching and that a new set would be a nice festive gesture.. Here it is my (one day..) cycling buddy! Hope you find it motivating enough to take on a ride and not too commercial for your discerning ears though... I did want something fun and not too heady, one which would nicely fit on a CD for the family to listen to during the holidays.A lot of post-production for the Xtian’s Edits, a few gratuitous, a couple acceptable! Thus, Let’s Dance!!  Playlist:  2008 Pjanoo (Original Club Mix) [Xtian Get You Dancing Edit]. Eric Prydz 2016 Goodbye (meHiLove Vocal Remix). Tara Louise & Masoud 2015 Show Me Love (EDX Remix Radio Edit]. Sam Feldt ft. Kimberly Anne 2016 Missing (Extended Mix). Kimberly Anne, Luca Schreiner 2015 Borrow Love (Original Mix). (Me & My Toothbrush vs. Paul Richmond 2015 Uruguay (EDX Radio Mix) [Xtian Take Me Away Edit]. Nora En Pure & Sons of Maria 2015 Insomnia (Calippo Remix) [Xtian Edit]. Faithless & Calippo 2016 Things We Might Have Said (Original Mix). Cari Golden, Reiner Zonnefeld 2016 I Feel For You (2016 Rework). Bob Sinclar, DBN 2015 Destiny(Original Mix). Markus Schulz ft. Delacey 2013 Thinking About You (EDXs Belo Horizonte at Night Remix.

Ramirez, Underworld 2014 Breaking Love (Original Extended Mix) [Xtian Reach Out Soul Edit]. Larrikin 2013 Time is by Your Side (Nigel Good Remix). Aerosoul ft. John Ward 2012 Orchestra (Original Mix) (Xtian Dancer Edit). Matteo Marini  Highlights: My personal favourites are "Things We Might Have Said" and "Destiny".. Not to miss! The former one being one of my pick for perfectly produced tune of 2016.. As for the latter, if you like melodic progressive trance, the Markus Schulz tune is one for you.. A blast for the past with Mark Knight’s  “Downpipe”, which I had forgotten, thanks Chris! All too easy!! I have a VERY bloated cart of Traxsource therefore will be back fairly soon. A bientôt Joyeux Noël Xtian P.S: have cut a few CD, so if you are on my Xmas list, who knows, you might get one..

Mini-series at the confines of Progressive House and Trance. Still from Shanghai. At this time of writing I am not sure if I will leave the chopped 2 x 45 seconds of electro in tunes 10. I tried to restructure the tunes to take out as much of it as I could but had to leave the build. New tunes interspaced with some remixes of well-known favs of mine, not quite sure it this set is an absolute must have download, but seems I am gearing up to a trance set in a couple of weeks. I have staggered the publishing schedule of all the sets I have uploaded lately for no one to incur insane data charges. But I have to admit that I am a bit lost in the schedule. I believe there is another one to appear on your feed before I get to something new.   Playlist:  2016 My Enemy (Movement Machina Remix). Julie Thompson, Super8 & Tab 2015 Angel Slide (Original Mix). Crazibiza 2016 In The City (Shingo Nakamura Remix). Talamanca, South Pole, Alicia Kapel 2016 You’ll Know (Original Mix).

Third iteration of the same nocturnal progressive vibe Shanghai appears to inspire. Darker, with a lot less vocal tracks than my usual offering, well suited for the few insomniacs who are listening. Mostly current, with a couple of newish remix of old favourites of mine. Playlist: 2016 Careless (Extended Mix) [Xtian New Reality Edit]. Matt Fax 2016 Cosmos (Original Mix).

Robin Schulz, Francesco Yates 2015 Big Days (Vocal Mix). Tamtam, Nathan Kay 2015 Guitarra G (Martijn Ten Velden Remix). Banda Sonora  Highlights: Always liked “Sunlight” melodic line, cheesy it may very be but can’t take away the catchy chorus. Gordon City’s “Ready for Love” is a nu-disco classic.“Revered” not sure I actually like the tune yet let’s see if anyone picks up from where the piano riff is sampled from?But 3 tracks outshine the rest: first “Strike me Down” absolute gem in a progressive soulful crossover, Big Days and Martijn’s recent remix of the House classic Guitarra G… Very nice indeed. A bientôt Xtian

XXL Vocal Deep House.. Three hours of non-boring, original and mostly current Vocal Deep House tunes.. Have to mention vocal to preempt the comments of the Deep House purists.. Another set which I had on recorded on the HD only to have forgotten it.. I stream it today whilst looking the Shanghai/Pudong skyline and thought it was a pity not to have published it at the time. Hop in and out of it as you please but if you have 3 hours to devote to making yourself feel (and consequently feel better) just lock it in your player and deep in and out of it as you please. I promise that all the tunes have their own merit and this set is absolutely not sequential therefore the order does not really matter. Just listen! Playlist:  2013 Cada Vez (Michael Gray Mix).

In Shanghai for a few days and uploading a few sets I had either started to fiddle with a few months back.If you ever go to Shanghai, get yourselves to the Bund and go up to " le Bar Rouge", where 19th century architecture meets Uber Cool 21st Century Asia.Mostly very current main floor tunes with a chopped beats twist, which is meant to get you on your feet.Apart from a very brutal transition from second last to last, I quite like this one.I most probably will get a few sets recorded whilst here, so keep tuned.Playlist: 2016 My Friend (Extended Mix). EDX 2016 Wild Orchid (Main Mix). Spiritchaser, Angie Brown 2015 Keep Pushin' (Purple Disco Maschine Vox Mix). Boris Dlugosch, Purple Disco Maschine 2015 Eagle Eyes (Joe Stone Remix).

The Greek House Collection (Music is My Shelter) Second of a mini-series of Soulful House sets mixed in Greece during a break from it all. Took a while to finish it but here it is. Let’s first credit a friend of mine, Gilberto Blackmon (The Funky Blackman) whose podcast you will find here on Podomatic:http://funkyblackman.podomatic.com/entry/2016-07-04T19_32_20-07_00 and on our Facebook Page site “House is a Journey”:https://www.facebook.com/MyHouseJourney/ As some may have noticed I have not touched any Soulful House for more than half a year. I could not even attempt to put any soulful sets together so bored and actually literally without any emotions about any soulful tunes I was listening to. Not receptive, no challenge and felt no purpose. Yet during my July break, whilst riding a bike in 37C heat, on a high gradient, suffering hell, I chose to listen to his latest set, deep & soulful and “Εύρηκα”... I finally got that warm feeling again, which can only be brought by listening to quality soulful deep house. Thank you Gilberto, without your help, this state of creative impotence could have lasted a lot longer. Oddly though I had a lot of new tunes to choose from this one contains a lot of oldies, can't figure out why but fun to hear them again. Playlist: 2008 Music Is My Shelter (Panevino Dub vs. Panevino Remix). Ray Paxon feat. Sybille & Freda Goodlett, Panevino 2014 I Feel (Spen, Thommy & Hudge Raw Allen Anthem). Ann Nesby, DJ Spen, Thommy Davis, Gary Hudgins 2012 Born to Flow (Shane D Remix).

Daniel Trim & Monica Mira feat. Maximilian G  Highlights:"Music is my Shelter" if you missed it, you are in for a treat.Numerous Marc Evans jams... I must be in the mood.And a few SoulHeat Records, U-ness and Jedset tunes straight out their Ibiza compilations, the one summer release I always look forward to.. A bientôt! Xtian

The Greek House Collection (Soul Fever) First of a mini-series of Soulful House sets mixed in Greece during a break from it all. Let’s first credit a friend of mine, Gilberto Blackmon (The Funky Blackman) whose podcast you will find here on Podomatic: http://funkyblackman.podomatic.com/entry/2016-07-04T19_32_20-07_00 and on our Facebook Page site “House is a Journey”: https://www.facebook.com/MyHouseJourney/ As some may have noticed I have not touched any Soulful House for more than half a year. I could not even attempt to put any soulful sets together so bored and actually literally without any emotions about any soulful tunes I was listening to. Not receptive, no challenge and felt no purpose. Yet during my July break, whilst riding a bike in 37C heat, on a high gradient, suffering hell, I chose to listen to his latest set, deep & soulful and “Εύρηκα”... I finally got that warm feeling again, which can only be brought by listening to quality soulful deep house. Thank you Gilberto, without your help, this state of creative impotence could have lasted a lot longer. Mostly 2016/2015 tunes, one oldie and a triple Marc Evans because I always think of Marc Evans when I delve into Soulful. Playlist:  2015 Soul Fever (Max & Sims Remix). Max & Sims ft. Echodust 2016 Turn Me On (Original Mix). Terry Lex 2016 This Could Be Us (The Layabouts Vocal Mix). Tony Momrelle, The Layabouts 2016 Just Like That (Extended Mix).

Juan Diaz, Tanya Dream, Rafael Yapudjian 2015 Soul Fever (AM2PM Extended Mix). MP, AM2PM ft. Angie Brown, AM2PM  Highlight: Without a doubt the Hungarian Max & Sims’ rendition of “Soul Fever” is the absolute standout of the set. Stellar tune, Echodust is an amazing vocalist and the production of Director’s cut standard. I started the set with their remix and ended it with AM2PM’s version with a different vocalist which is not bad either. https://www.facebook.com/maxandsims/https://soundcloud.com/maxandsimshttps://www.beatport.com/artist/max-and-sims/376906 Both Marc Evans’ jams, “Beneath The Crescent Moon” and “Felt Like Heaven” are soulful house heaven with his unmistakable voice and inspired melodies. Marc Evans is the Barry White of this century and I actually rate him immensely higher as a singer song writer and producer, all in one go, with lyrics have meaning to boost his already immense talent. https://www.traxsource.com/artist/2165/marc-evanshttp://www.bluesandsoul.com/feature/318/marc_evans_on_the_brink/https://www.facebook.com/marcavonevans Love Midnight City ‘s “Just Like That”, a gem of a happy tune, please go on traxsource and buy the release all remixes are perfection. https://www.facebook.com/Midnightcityukofficial/http://www.traxsource.com/artist/239946/midnight-city Finally, do not miss Deep Grounder’s “Feel So Alive”. Another great melody, another soulful pearl with again immaculate production. http://www.traxsource.com/artist/15401/deep-grounder A bientôt! Xtian

Resuming my Trance Mission with “The 138 bpm Drop” Balearic Trance Journey. Drop both your inhibitions and your gear and let the journey start! If you do not like real (but frenetic at times) bangin’ trance, I strongly suggest you give this one a miss… yet, you will have foregone quite a journey… Firstly, I have to thank Lars for giving me the inspiration to put this set together. Lars has been supporting this space for quite a while and has always commented (positively or not) when he sees a new upload. Recently, Lars contacted me when, in between my hiatus and completely uninterested with the current offering of traditional house, I uploaded the 2 Quanta of Solace. Once again he gave me the will-power to revisit that old love of mine, Trance, Progressive House or what I call Trouse. In the past, I have always chided from high bpm Trance. Anything over 130 and I would either never get there or prefer not to include it in any set. Partly for I felt it was frenetic and partly for I assumed I (and by extension) you were too old for it. The algorithm I use to choose a playlist in preparation for my sets is programmed by design to nicely keep tracks, keys, bpm and flavours in a tight range. And since I like to start slow to build up, I very rarely get to reach anything over 130 bpm. There is vast blog space on the Internet dedicated to the question “ Who is afraid of 138 bpm Trance?” There is even a label called “ Who is afraid of 138 bpm?”…. Well, in many ways, I am! This being said, in order to continue the Trance Mission and be true to the genre, I always knew I would eventually have to get over that fear.. I worked without the algorithm and here we are. Set is 80% over 132 bpm by DESIGN! Vielen Danke Herr Lars. This one (good or not) is for YOU! Sorry for all the florish but had all those dits and felt like trying them out.. Another reason to resume the mission, was a request I got a few weeks ago to play for Mardi Gras for a LGBTY party in Sydney. The request was flattering, yet due to not being in the right headspace at all and natural performance jitters, I chose not to consider it. I told the promoter that I would send him a demo of what I thought would be the right journey for such an event for the boys. Well, here it is! As a general comment, this set is very ornate. In many ways , it is more a case of Xtian trying to take stock of what he can do and tediously learn new tricks than anything else. But along the way I am putting out there all the new edits and mashups I have been toiling on, which might just be a bit TOO MUCH in one go considering my modicum of talent but it feels so good to have them out there and await your reaction and so good to have them safely saved and backed up on my HD for a future live set!As an added bonus (for me): after the mashup of Silence and Missing from a few years back, I have now semi-cracked a mashup and counter-mashup of Finally and Silence.. Yippee, I can finally rest.  Obviously, not every track is fresh and current. For Trance is all about anthems and there are at the most 3 or 4 a year!I did try my best to include a few I never played before. As I had used a few current great tracks in the two previous Quanta and did not want to repeat myself ad nauseam, I decided to try out all the edits I have been working on in the past and had lost when my library got corrupted. Call it a bulk early release, other would call it premature ej...... but sorry I just had to.. Even more satisfying, almost all tracks are new Xtian Edits of mostly unkown remixes and , for better or for worse, you get the added bonus of a few of mashups I am quite happy with. Now close your eyes, imagine you bought a ticket for Ibiza, got yourself sorted and you are ready for a genuine balearic Trance journey..  DO NOT GET AFRAID WHEN IT GOES TO 138.. It is meant to! Playlist:  2015 Ibiza Bleeps (Radio Edit) [Xtian Balearic Rush Edit]. Chicane 2011 Offshore (Ferry Tayle Luminosity at Beach Remix) [Xtian Balearic Rush Edit].

Motorcycle  Highlights:From 1998, "Who Do You Love" from Jose Padilla, Chicane was a baby and yet was given the honour to remix the Cafe del Mar legend.. great Balearic track, which took me ages to find again.."Kiss Me Here", old Tritonal fav of mine with a great built up and Christine de Soto amazing vocals.This year will see a LOT of "Saltwater" remixes as I think it is the 20th anniversary. I can't wait to see what comes as I believe that "Saltwater" is one track that has yet to get THE DEFINITIVE REMIX but in the meantime, I found this 2009 one give this anthem a bit of a kick.A very recent track from Above and Beyond "Treasure", DO NOT MISS.. Zoe Johnston whose voice you will recognize is just amazing. Great melodic trance.Then starts a "Silence" extravaganza.. None of those remixes are run of the mill ones, most are bootleg and ALL are my personal private edits and mashups. I obviously have overdone it.  But now I have those files secured and backed up and I am ready to drop them any time.. Starts at 38:00, Mashup Silence/Finally (41:19) to end around 46:16."Koori" from Vitodito.. Japanese Trance.. Just because it is japanese.."Second Chance" from Blood , Grooves and Kikkis.. Do not love the track but I actually think I did a fair job with the "Silence" mashup (starts at around 58:32).A unknow trance remix of You've Got the Love" got the mashup treatment with "How Deep is Your Love" at !:04:54Could not have a balearic Trance journey without some latin rhythm and hence brought in a new remix of "Pasilda" from Helena Legend.Followed by another anthem but a completely new take with Kings of Tomorrow "Finally" in a totally different colour courtesy of Frank Caro and a private Xtian Edit, which I can live with and will use in live sets.. Tracks starts at 1:20:20 mashup at 1:22:02)Onto a Chicane medley, with a "Poppihola" mashup with Dajae's "Everyday My Life", which almost works.. So close but another one I will drop in live sets.. (Mashup starts at 1:29:40)Do not miss "An Angel's Love" from Alex M.O.R.P.H. ANTHEM... I had missed this absolute gem from 2011.. When Trance meets Classical I am completely in my element.. LOVE IT!Finishing with "As the Rush Comes" from Motrocycle, another anthem, but presenting my private edit, true to the original but if I may say maybe even more potent.. (Starts at 1:46:45) A bientôt I still have a Quantum to post but might take a little while.  Xtian

Second Quantum of Solace (In the Air CX 134) Refer to previous podcast for an update on my status.  I mixed this second Quantum of Solace during an 8 hour flight. The only post-edit is the intro, in many ways unnecessary but I felt like tying the set up to the Quantum World. Furthermore, should you be a fervent follower, you have already endured many a time my love for intros.. Numerous Xtian edits, set mostly in the progressive house, trance space I want to stay in at the moment. And herein included quite of few 2015-2016 tunes, which is a bonus! A bit of sugar, some alternative tracks and quite a few on my personal high-rotation list . Enjoy! I have another quantum on my hard drive, mixed during the return flight. I will post it when I have some time. Some of the tunes featured are on my favourite current list:- “I Need You” from SK1- “Peace of Mind” and “Counting Down the Days”, not to miss very current trance/progressive gems from A&B.- “My Head is a Jungle” from the Dior advert with Emma Louise a great local vocalist from the indie scene.  Playilst:  2016 Intro The Universe of Saltwater [Xtian Edit].

First Quantum of Solace (CX Lounge) I really should start with the simple fact that I have put myself on a hiatus..Several reasons for my current status:A) Life is currently non-linear and the pressure to keep this podcast up to what I believe should be my standards would not really bring any escape.B) I had found that laately what I uploaded was at best mundane. If I do not feel it, why should I do it? Furthermore I am currently over soulful house, I do need to really get very far away from it for a while to start feeling it again.C) I played a long set on New Years’s Eve and though not bad same non-urge to publish it.D) What happens once every two years, my library got corrupted. I had to bite the bullet and migrate to my new mac, having lost most edits and settings. To rebuild a library to the structure I need takes a lot of time and tagging and I simply do not have that luxury at the present time.But here I am, travelling overseas, facing lounge downtime, flight downtime, hotel room downtime, all those little quanta of Solace conducive to trying to redefine where I would like to be musically should life settle down a tad.My current headspace is progressive, ambient, trance-like and possibly harder-like in the near future.Playlist is approximate due to library corruption just when I had closed the set. The format is based around one or two keys, starts around 120 bpm to go to 136 and brings you down back to 122. A few on-the-fly edits, a very cheeky mashup I will get in trouble for (Rick Astley trancified really ;) and yes a bit of true trance..Absolutely 100% Live with all the traps inherent with such an endeavour where no post-edit is possible..Playlist: 2016 We Can Talk (Larse Dub) [Xtian Liberate Edit feat.

I Play for Paris Pt.3 Twisted Original Club, Progressive and Trance anthems and a couple of Rock ones! Fittingly starting with “Sympathy for the Devil”, diving straight into Progressive sexy house with a hint of Club House before a Progressive – Trance House climax.  First time I get people to actually dance to my beloved Faithless, must have been the time when everything clicked and kicked in. One month ago some nihilistic losers butchered 130 women and men in Paris… Forget about the social media meltdown, France is my country and Paris my city. Whereas France is actually far from being the model country it aspires to be, by attacking “her” for being the “capital of prostitution and obscenity”, those bastards just proved that somehow those symbols of secularism and freedom are still alive and worth celebrating. Forward to a few days ago… I was unable to mix anything, which wasn’t dark and filled with anger for a month until we decided to have an impromptu party. The core nexus of friends who could make it facing Xtian who was wondering what would spark his muse and how he could get out of his negative loop and make himself and his friends happy. I played a 4 hour set, took about 20 minutes to get into it but once I found the right format for this forum it flowed. Got out of my spleen and played fun eclectic jams, old and new edits of tunes everyone knew but cuts they had not heard before. Whereas my usual format is to play current paid releases in whatever genre takes my fancy, I went into a “Richard Vasquez/Doctor Love” mode and played for me and for my friends. Four hours later, they were asking for more and pushing me to go harder and louder. Take that nihilistic butchers, this is our answer to your dead-end philosophy. Set is cut into 3 parts, slightly edited of what did not quite work live but true to the spirit of the night.  Part 3 is simply the culmination of all that.

I Play for Paris Pt.2 Handbag House tunes bordering on lipstick Pop! Fittingly starting with “Too Young to Die” with a rather long medley of Moloko’s “Sing it Back” in the first third. At that stage, I had to attend to some social duties and cued what is one of my favourite tune to fill up the blanks.  One month ago some nihilistic losers butchered 130 women and men in Paris… Forget about the social media meltdown, France is my country and Paris my city. Whereas France is actually far from being the model country it aspires to be, by attacking “her” for being the “capital of prostitution and obscenity”, those bastards just proved that somehow those symbols of secularism and freedom are still alive and worth celebrating. Forward to a few days ago… I was unable to mix anything, which wasn’t dark and filled with anger for a month until we decided to have an impromptu party.

Why do I mention it? Simply because it is NOT available for legal download anywhere. Though listed on ITunes, release is only available from iTunes Denmark, making it illegal here down under. What a complete nonsense from the majors! I even went through the trouble of contacting the artist to see how I could obtain the release legally to no avail.. Since I had paid for the tune in the past but can’t find it, I feel I have done all I could do. Pity, I only have the crap encoding version though.. Part 3 to be uploaded very soon!A bientotXtian

The remix is very allusive of the original melody, a true dub, with the perfect F#m synth pads uniquely suited for Deep House.. https://pro.beatport.com/artist/john-creamer-and-stephane-k/34975https://www.facebook.com/John-Creamer-Stephane-K-107068669327742/ With  “Can You Feel It”.. we are going on the darker side of deep house yet staying with grove and a very simple piano tune.. https://soundcloud.com/lifekissandhooverhttps://www.facebook.com/lifekisshooverhttps://pro.beatport.com/artist/lifekiss-and-hoover/293626 “Just Glow” recent release from Purple Music Jaimie Lewis label.. Check it out. Simple pads by very subtle percussions and that ominipresent deep house bass groove.. Pure Dope!https://pro.beatport.com/label/purple-music/784 “Rise With You”. Please check out Lazy Hammock site.. Cool artist. An example of sexy underground house with an ever so subtle sax mixed in the deep house rhythm..http://www.lazyhammock.co.uk “I Can Feel U” from Demarkus Lewis to show how deep house is simple.. Couple of vocals, bassline, beats and here we go, the atmosphere is set and your head starts bobbing. One of the main producer of Jackin’ House, from Dallas, a very talented man. https://soundcloud.com/demarkuslewishttp://demarkuslewis.com “The Manifest” from Till Von Sein feat. Mr. V.. Everything I love about Deep House.. and Mr V’s voice to boot. Both tell you the story of how they met her, how they met House.. It is their manifest, do not miss it.. https://soundcloud.com/tillvonseinhttps://www.facebook.com/tillyjam “Feeling Love” been buying quite a bit from Elias Tzikas.. Quality guaranteed. Greek born but based in the UK, Elias is a dj/producer at Noir Music, lable which only releases quality depe house music. Feeling love is a darker mood tune with sexy written all over it. https://soundcloud.com/eliastzikashttps://pro.beatport.com/artist/elias-tzikas/18951https://www.facebook.com/djEliasTzikashttps://pro.beatport.com/label/noir-music/6239 "You And Me" from Oscar Barilla. A very deceptive simple construction but should you listen to this track with headphones, you will see how multi-layered it really is. I could not find a lot of info about the artist, dig deeper.. https://pro.beatport.com/artist/oscar-barilla/252707 “Soul Groove”. Soledrifter is part of the Large Music stable. Originally from Moscow, Russia, now living in Canada, Dmitry Meshcheryakov releases very intricate and well produced deep house jams. Another deep tune with attitude and funk.. I love out it is all “produced” “made”.. Nothing sampled here.. https://www.facebook.com/djsoledrifter/https://pro.beatport.com/artist/soledrifter/200521 “Dreamz” Originally form Estonia, Urmet K is based in London is a young deep house producers to follow. It is at the very congruence of deep and progressive.. I absolutely love this sounds.. It moves me like no other genre does. An for me uniquely European sound.  https://soundcloud.com/oh-records-stockholm/ohr013-urmet-k-feat-millie-madhttps://soundcloud.com/ukatworkhttps://www.facebook.com/urmetkermann/ “Sometimes” from two of my favourite deep house polish producers, Karol XVII & MB. I love what they do and tend to buy what they release without hesitation. It is complex and another track to listen to with headphones on. But if you do not get this, you do not quite really get what deep house can do to brain and soul.. https://soundcloud.com/karolxviimbvalencehttps://www.facebook.com/KarolXVIIandMBValencehttps://pro.beatport.com/artist/karol-xvii-and-mb-valence/18158https://www.traxsource.com/artist/87684/karol-xvii-and-mb-valence With “Crush” from my friends U-ness and Jedset, I felt it was time to lighten the mood.. I love what they both do.. It is always high quality NEVER boring and with this little dub I had the chance to give them a shout-out out in a deep set, which is rarely were they venture.. https://soundcloud.com/soulheat-recordshttps://www.facebook.com/U-Ness-8589064359/https://traxsource.com/artist/11772/u-nesshttp://traxsource.com/artist/11717/jedset Wrapping it up with “Passion” from German Greek Producer Petros Mitolis, whom I hope I can call my friend as well. High quality release all the time and usually there is ALWAYS a hint of sexy in his house. Much respect. I wanted to finish with something clever, deep, sexy and perfectly produced.. This was the tune and knowing the artist, gave me the extra motivation to get it there… Because Petros those beats at the start of the tune, could not get the to synch no matter how hard I tried..  http://traxsource.com/artist/51064/petros-mitolishttps://soundcloud.com/teneighteenhttps://www.facebook.com/Petros-Mitolis-194431007259010/  Going overseas for a short trip. Usually it means catching up with a lot of newly released music, listening to a lot of podcasters I follow and trying to find some inspiration to put something original together.

Check Jerry Ropero and Abigail Bailey facebbok pages for further info:https://www.facebook.com/jerryroperoentertainment/?fref=tshttps://www.facebook.com/abigail.bailey.18?fref=ts “Spread Love” included for the driving bassline which I attempted to be the common thread on the set. PAULIE fb page if you feel like knowing this artist better : https://www.facebook.com/pauliemusicfactory “Milagro” a very Brazilian number from DJ Meme, loving the dubbed vocals.https://www.facebook.com/DJ.Meme/?fref=tshttps://soundcloud.com/dj-meme “Lovely Mistake Part 2” dropped for it its easy deep house groove. Been buying a lot of Chris Deepak remixes lately, great talent from Greece.Chris Deepak on soundclound https://soundcloud.com/chrisdeepak “Trippin” to dive into something a bit more progressive but still light and deep. Straight into the great Pole Seb Skalski's take on the house classic of MLK “ I Have a Dream”.. It is deep, has rhythm and fits perfectly with what I like to listen to as chillout.https://soundcloud.com/seb-skalskihttps://pro.beatport.com/artist/seb-skalski/60322 With the Jimpster track “Booty Angel” , you know we are in deep house territory.. But the track is twisted with a some very ethereal vocals intertwined with a rap NYC chorus.. try it..https://soundcloud.com/jimpsterhttp://www.freerangerecords.co.ukhttps://www.facebook.com/jimpster.freerange “The Beat Inside” another true deep house funky number but not quite as easily savoured as the previous ones.. It is about finding the Beat inside of you ;0.https://soundcloud.com/soledrifterhttp://www.traxsource.com/artist/90838/soledrifterhttps://www.facebook.com/djsoledrifter Timo Jahns’ take on “Why Can’t We Live Together?” is just one of those tunes, where you feel you know the melody but are kept wanting and then BOOM, chorus comes and you just get the structure.. Enjoy!https://soundcloud.com/timojahns “Sound From The Second Floor” the true deep house jam I love and DJ Meme on the remix.. I added the vocal from “Why Can’t We Live Together?” just because I could and thought not bad Xtian, not bad… Yotto’s “Coming Back to You” just continuing the deep house vibe.. Great production and if you pay attention clever percussions..https://soundcloud.com/yottohttps://www.facebook.com/yottomusichttps://pro.beatport.com/artist/yotto/114140 “Light Up the Night” deep, dark hip-hop feel.. What’s not to like?? Good track do not miss it.. This is clever House.. “Anyway I Want” deep and twisted.. Exquisite production but you need to get into the deep groove frame of mind to appreciate it..https://soundcloud.com/dj-fudgehttps://www.facebook.com/DJ.FUDGE.OFFICAL And wrapping the set up with my edit of “Drive Me Crazy” I really do like that Deep Shit….https://soundcloud.com/msladyblacktronika Will back soon A bientôt Xtian

Spring is Coming Ep.2 Very ambivalent as to whether this episode ought to have been uploaded at all.. Continuing in the spirit of the previous episode as I endeavour to slowly get into the soulful, sunnier vibe of the Australian springtime. Nothing really special but handpicked tunes, some of which I possibly dropped  too recently but felt like giving them a second chance.. This set is certainly not required listening. In the same way that a biography of say Stephen Fry is not required reading but is still an entertaining read, this set should be a bit of fun to have in the background. I have all those unplayed recent soulful tunes in my hard drive. Before I delve into something deeper and probably more challenging, I need to patiently go down the list and try a few tunes for a planned rooftop party in December. Therefore, grab yourself a book and a drink and give those mostly current tunes a go. Playlist:  2015 Burn So Deep (Sandy's Deep Burn vs. Sandy's Disco Burn). Kings Of Tomorrow, April 2015 Midnight People (OtherSoul Club Mix). Preslava Peicheva, OtherSoul 2011 Get Up (Original Mix). DJ Fudge 2015 Good Love (Original Mix).

April  Highlights: Set starting and ending with Sandy Rivera/KOT with April on the vocals.. Quality guaranteed. “Burn So Deep” has just been released and is riding high on the Traxsource chart.https://soundcloud.com/sandy-rivera The OtherSoul remixes are (as usual) absolutely fantastic but I did dop them recently.. Hozier’s Take me to Church is something I discovered thanks to Richard Vasquez.. Thanks Richard!Richard Vasquez is here at http://richardvasquez.podomatic.com/OtherSoul remixes free for dl on https://hearthis.at/othersoul/ A gospel version of “Let it Be” by Groove Junkies… Had to give it a spin!

Spring is Coming Ep.1 As some may know, I am based down under in Melbourne and Spring is coming.. If it were not for the Carnival to come, the blooming flowers, my debilitating hay fever would remind me that come October, SPRING IS NIGH! With Spring comes the urge to listen to easy soulful, pool-side tunes.. and here they are. Not going to wax lyrical about this one, it is just a simple, effortless, catchy vocal House. If you are looking for underground, progressive tunes, come and visit this page another time OR scroll down, I promise, those are there as well ☺..  Quite happy to have kept it current. Playlist:  2014 In the Beginning (Original Mix).

OtherSoul have moved their catalogue from Soundcloud to hearthis, here is the address.Loving the “Come Back Baby” from Flush perfectly summarizing the intent of the set.As for “Josephine”, it sound so much like a Knuckles production! Obviously Kupper and Frankie were house brothers. Will be back soon with Episode 2 A bientôt Xtian

Let’s Play! A bit of background: Location: household, Melbourne, Australia.Date: 19-09-15 first day of mid-term holidays.Temper Gauge: immediate risk of major family breakdown! First day of holidays and tempers were at breaking point! Kids complaining they were bored, Spouse close to losing it having to pick up everyone’s mess lying around, pleading for help and getting blank hostile gazes as only responses... I propose to put some music on.. The communal answer I get is: “You haven’t done anything fun for aaaages “.. Daggers straight to my parental, spouse and music lover heart! I rig up the full DJ set-up, connect the lasers and lights, pump up the volume and start playing something I had half put together during my travels.. Having in mind that they wanted something new but not just new, that they NEEDED something fun and uplifting, sing-a-long and dance-a-long tunes, I shifted to trusted classics of 2007/2009, chose those uplifting progressive trance keys which induce wellness and movement, span and watched… Devices were slowly put down, lips started humming and eventually singing and when I saw my wife’s hands starting to move to the music I knew I had them on the correct path of unplugging from their chores,  IPhones, IPads and IMacs to just PLAY and enjoy the moment. They were hearing tracks they knew and some they didn’t. Got their ears full of the Chicane, Kaskade, Deadmau5, Calvin they are perfectly entitled to ache for but also willingly discovered new tunes they were dancing to with a smile on their faces. Crisis averted. This is what music does… it heals.. Playlist:   2015 The Bridge (Anjunadeep 07 Mix). Jody Wisternoff feat. Sian Evans 2015 The Bridge (Chicane Rework) [Xtian Added Keys Edit]. Jody Wisternoff feat. Sian Evans 2008 Come Fly Away (Soha And Adam K Remix). Benny Benassi feat. Channing                2008 Deep At Night (Adam K  Soha Remix). Ercola & Heikki L 2007 Finished Symphony (Deadmau5 Remix) (Xtian Hallelujah Edit feat. Candi Staton]. Hybrid 2008 4 AM (Adam K  Soha Mix). Kaskade 2008 Angel on My Shoulder (EDX's Belo Horizonte at Night Remix). Kaskade 2009 Saltwater 2009 (Paul Ricon Remix). Chicane feat Marie Brenhan 2009 Bruised Water (Michael Woods Full Vocal vs. Mischa Daniels Club Remix). Chicane feat. Natasha Bedingfield 2013 Phantom (Original Mix) [Xtian God is a DJ Edit]. Fehrplay 2015 Insomnia 2. 0 (Avicii Extended Remix) {Xtian Shifty Edit]. Faithless 2015 How Deep Is Your Love (Disciples & Unorthodox Remix vs. Extended Mix) [Xtian Mash]. Calvin Harris & Disciples 2015 Over Now (Darone Remix). eSquire feat. Polina Griffith   Highlights:I will start with Adam K & Soha.. Two Canadian producers and remixers with a distinct trance/prog uplifting feel. The right touch and the perfect keys to turn a good tune into greatness! I could very well have dropped their recent “ I Need to Feel Loved” remix but thought trusted and less current tracks would do the job nicely. You cannot listen to their remixes and not want to move! Internet resources:https://www.facebook.com/adamkandsohahttps://www.mixcloud.com/Soha/http://djadamk.com/https://soundcloud.com/adamk “The Bridge” from Jody Wisternoff. I have written it previously and will repeat that is it most probably the best progressive track of the year. AnjunaDeep and Chicane on the re-rub. I had a bit of a play on the fly with the Anjuna keys on top of the amazing Chicane remix, worked a treat on the intro but shifted a bit on the next break. Pity about that but DO NOT MISS the Chicane remix, it is pure bliss! Deadmau5 “Finished Symphony”: dropped it for the kids, added the Candi Staton dub on top and it worked!!! I could see they knew what they were listening to in the background and one day I will actually use this setup live to get into the Larse remix on this amazing tune. Can’t wait to see how vintage clubbers would react! Not writing anything on the Kaskade and Chicane jams, dropped them because the family loves them and what I had on the original playlist was too hard for my purpose. From there I wanted to shift back to current tunes. The Fehrplay tune bridged the set towards Avicii’s take on Faithless’ Insomnia to peak into Tranceland.. God is a DJ indeed J. From there had to bring it down, with lo and behold my first EVER Calvin Harris drop, his new single “How Deep is Your Love”. Mashed up the two main remixes to give a bit of extra flavour and quietly daydreamed of Gigi Haddid moves... Not that I do not like the Calvin but obviously we are not connecting that much. My kids absolutely loved it, Viv thought it sounded a bit R&B but she was still smiling! Wrapped it up with the Darone’s remix of “Over Now”, maybe pushing it to an overly commercial closing but they were all humming the main chorus, so mission accomplished. I have a few sets tucked away I really should upload and therefore will be back in true house mode very shortly. Hope I bring a smile to your faces and Let’s Play! A bientot  Xtian

“A little bit of House, A little bit of Disco, that’s all we need, that’s all we need” SoulfuLips (The Club Edition) Another summer soulful vocal mix upload,  same format and mostly current tune restrictions. Beware! This one will make you want to rise up and DANCE!It is a happy mix sure to pick you up if you have the blues.. Put it on and let the music play!More focused than the previous one but with a double (“I Feel”).. I dropped the ball on that one but the second remix was just the disco vibe I was going for… Playlist:  2015 Move Me (Original Mix). The Checkup 2014 It's Alright (Jerome Robins Groove Remix). Sterling Void, David Morales 2014 I Feel (Sahib Muhammad Original Mix). Ann Nesby, DJ Spen 2014 It's You (Mousse T.'s Discotronic Mix). FCL 2014 Running To Love (Richard Earnshaw Remix). Steven Stone, Andrea Love 2015 Pennies From Heaven (The Night Remix). Kevin Saunderson, Inner City 2015 Woman (Micky More & Andy Tee Vocal). Danny Losito, Kareem Shabazz, Micky More, Andy Tee 2015 Winter Dreams (I Remember) (Richard Earnshaw Remix). DJ Groove, AM2PM, Richard Earnshaw 2014 Creeping In the Dark (Grant Nelson Remix). Majestic & Jungle 70 2014 I Wonder (Full Vocal Mix). Soulmagic 2014 I Feel (DJ Spen, Thommy Davis & Gary Hudgins Remix).Ann Nesby, DJ Spen 2011 Look a Little String of Life (MikeandTess Mash Up Edit ). Domu pres Pete Simpson feat. Kathy Brown 2008 Strings of Life (Stronger on My Own) (Full vocal Mix). Soul Central feat. Kathy Brown  Set is peppered with the A.B.O.H Da House sample “A Littl Bit of House” Highlights: Do not know where to start… Set is FULL of diva songs, take your pick.. I love “Creeping in the Dark”.. Mixing House and UK Hip Hop.. Only Grant Nelson can achieve this magic fusion. I remember listening to the world exclusive on Housecall (www. housecallfm.com) and immediately pre-ordering it on Itunes. Hip Hop, soulful with a very slight garage feel. Grant Nelson magic! Ann Nesby/Spen “ I Feel” is as good soulful house currently on release. The first remix from Jerome Robbins is pure soulful sound, vocal in front, big funky baseline, with a distinct gospel vibe.. Respect! The second one (DJ Spen, Thommy Davis & Gary Hudgins Remix) is straight out of the 80’s disco book with a Giorgio Moroder sound, which I am sure is not fortuitous. “It’s You” have always loved the track since I first heard it a few years ago. Mousse T gives it a little disco up feel. I would entice you to look on the Defected video feel for a live rendition of “It’s You” at Sonar 2014 in Barcelona.. I was there, seeing a crowd off realizing what a live vocal sound can bring in terms of emotions and swag was unforgettable.. Vocalist being more than cute might have played a role as well. “Running to Love” what more can I write but Andrea Love as a vocalist, Steven Stone and Earnshaw on the production table.. House does not get better and this track is well within my top 5 soulful tracks of the last couple of years. “Pennies from Heaven”, another track, another soul diva but all packaged with the edginess of Inner City and Kevin Saunderson. And they avoided the omnipresent distorted bass we hear everywhere else!https://soundcloud.com/kevinsaunderson “Woman” maybe the most interesting soulful release of 2015.. I love the vibe, I adore the remix package (and will use other remixes shortly), useless to say that I love the adlib lyrics ( straight out of the Xtian house book ;) .. Possibly the track belonged in another mix, be I would dance to it sandwiched as it is between two house bangers and I could not sit on this massive track any longer!! So I am asking you “ What if the word was a Woman?”https://soundcloud.com/djmickymore/micky-more-andy-tee-davide-domenella-dynamite-out-24072015http://www.traxsource.com/artist/158811/andy-teehttp://www.traxsource.com/artist/4473/micky-morehttp://www.traxsource.com/artist/16039/danny-losito “Winter Dreams (I Remember).”. AM2PM who I love since their mini-mix on House call fm.. British duo, pure quality, check their soundcloud page.. And Richard Earnshaw on the rerub.. Class!AM2PM Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ampm-liveRichard Earnshaw Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/earnshawmusic “ I Wonder” from Soulmagic, another happy mood. Soulmagic released “Someone Like You” in 2012 and track became one of the house track of the new millennium. Talented duo from Denmark, they just master that full, happy, soulful house sound!Soulmagic SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/soulmagicrecSoulmagic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/soulmagicdk?_rdr=pSoulmagic Traxsource: https://www.traxsource.com/artist/253/soulmagic “Look a Little String of Life”.. Mashup from Mikeand Tess.. Pure genius, this is what a mashup should be…  Been saying it, those two guys are immensely talented.https://soundcloud.com/mikeandtess Closing the set with a house anthem.. from way back.. Another Diva, Kathy Brown.. Do not tell me you did not get the itch to dance!!I will be back continuing the SoulfuLips Sessions soon, most probably after a little detour into a trance/progressive special set for the family before setting off for another trip to the middle kingdom.. A bientôt  Xtian

SoulfuLips (Bar Grooves Edition)Still riding on my holiday vibe, I felt it was time to revisit soulful house. Soulful tracks were beginning to accumulate in my hard drive and I thought it was time to present it in a series of sets.I am attempting to offer a classic soulful mood using mostly current releases. First one in the SoulfuLips series, the Bar Grooves Edition. Looking at the playlist with 8 2015 tracks, a couple of late 2014 releases, I feel I stayed within my format. I also included a couple of mashups gems from Mike and Tess.Set does lose focus and oomph midway but nothing can be perfect. Playlist:  2015 Where do I Belong? (Original Mix). Purple Disco Machine 2015 Song for O (Original Mix) [Xtian King of My Castle Mash]. Purple Disco Machine 2015 What Do You Want. Miguel Migs feat. Meshell Ndegeocello 2014 Everywhere (Panda Remix). MYNC, Mario Fischetti, Deborah Cox, Panda 2012 I Love Rolling Stone (Mikeandtess Mash Up). Dolls Combers & The Temptations 2015 You're Gonna Miss My Love (Original Mix) . Hedi Benromdan 2015 Sweet Baby (Richard Earnshaw Big Vocal Mix). Cool Million 2008 Don't Lose The Magic (David Morales Club Mix). Shawn Christopher 2015 Feels Like Heaven (Main Remix). Joi Cardwell, Lem Springsteen 2015 A Gentlemans Song FK (Mark Di Meo Soulful Mix) [Xtian I Love Edit]. Mark Di Meo 2011 Love Will Rock With You (Mikeandtess Mash Up ). Tikyo & Carlos Vargas feat. Michael Jackson 2015 Something About You (Steve Mac Vocal Revision). Jamie Lewis (UK) 2014 Dontcha Wanna Dance (Julius Papp Vocal Remix). Cool Million feat. Marc Evans 2012 I'm Every Woman (The Checkup remix). Whitney Houston   Highlights: Love the 2 initial Purple Disco Machine tracks. PDM is definitively the revelation of 2014. Fresh funky, disco and sometimes soulful vibe, with impeccable german production. And I do not mind my mashup attempt introducing one of my fav track King on my castle on top of their Song of O.Please check up PDM SoundCloud and Facebook pages (https://soundcloud.com/purplediscomachine) (https://www.facebook.com/purplediscomachine) and buy their music. “What Do You Want” Miguel Migs cannot do anything wrong and I love when he departs from strict deep sounds. SoundCloud page (https://soundcloud.com/miguelmigs1). Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/DJMiguelMigs).2 gems from Mike and Tess (https://soundcloud.com/mikeandtess ). I have been using a lot of their mashups lately. Incredibly talented French duo, most of their tracks available as free downloads on SC. Their take on the Temptations/Doll Combers mash is remarkable and even if it brought the original mood of the set down, I still enjoyed dropping it. The MJ mash is not mad either.“A Gentleman’s Song FK” from Mark di Meo is the absolute stand out of the set. The song, which I believe refer to Frankie Knuckles, has the FK feel and is impeccably constructed. The way every instrument is introduced, very similar to a jazz or a classical construction is truly sublime. Mark di Meo on Soundcloud Page (https://soundcloud.com/markdimeo) and on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/markdimeofan)“Something About You” from Jamie Lewis (UK) is purely a result of serendipity. I misspelled Jaime Lewis (Purple Music) on Traxsource and it returned Jamie and this very good soulful track. Jamie Lewis (UK) on Traxsource (https://www.traxsource.com/artist/201511/jamie-lewis-uk)Closed the set with a free download from the Checkup, done at the time of the death of Whitney Houston as a tribute.. Good stuff.. Go to their traxsource page (https://www.traxsource.com/artist/184310/the-checkup) and buy some music. I will be back soon with another instalment of SoulfuLips. A bientot Xtian

The idea for the set came from looking at my podomatic stats with thousands of downloads and plays from Egypt, Turkey, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.. I thought I would give something back for all of the encouragements I have received from you. Therefore I thought that after a month of fasting, it was high time to offer some of my followers the music they need to finally party! Eid Mubarak! عيد مبارك So Guys and Girls.. 5 hours of party tunes.. Starting slow but If you time it right you can get the set to coincide with the sunset and go straight into a disco, beach house party. Have fun! To make it clear I have my issues with all religions but those issues are not specific to any and observing peacefully an important tenet of ones’ faith is a choice I fully respect. Playlist:  2000 Last Kiss ((Xtian Edit).

They are from Aix en Provence, France, are immensely talented and have 4.1K followers on SC, which really is massive for ( I think) mnon-professional. Best mashups I know with Jask and D Reflektion.  A bientot Xtian

The Funky Train from Athens to Ibiza Title is a referenced to the Mikis Theodorakis track (No.6), which I was very happy to drop considering the set was put together at the Nysia Hotel pool (Spetses Island, Greece). A word on the Nissia hotel (http://www.nissia.gr/en). Great place, very good rate for their villas where you can comfortably sleep 6 to 8 people for under 300 EUR B/F included... Why would onenot want to come to Greece? Sun-drenched poolside tunes with some cherry picked re-rub of old tunes and then the start of all the current beach and soulful tunes I have accumulated in the last 4 months. I was listening for the nth times to old offensive covers of old tunes at a sunset bar called Cielo.I begged them to stream The Funky Blackman (Campo Allegre) latest podcast (http://funkyblackman.podomatic.com/entry/2015-07-03T21_29_57-07_00). They finally obliged and the place started grooving… With all the free streaming music around, why on earth would anyone have to endure the same 3 year old crap music on repeat…? Beats me.. At least make an effort and find good remixes of old tunes… Playlist:  2014 Walking On The Moon (J-Art & Madan Remix) [Millesim]. The Police 2013 Josephine (Chris Coco Edit). Disco For The People 2011 We R 1 (U&J's Morning After Mix). U-Ness, JedSet 2009 Find the Way (Jask's Reprise).

Vanessa Daou, GMGN And Dusty Digital 2015 Move Me vs My Forbidden Lover (Bootleg SoundCloud Remix). The Checkup & Chic 2013 Do You Feel (Club Edit). Clemens Rumpf, Tony Bravo, Gary Adams, Willy Washington 2014 Free (Lovebirds Beautiful Rework). Lovebirds 2015 Do What You Feel (JN Revival Mix). Joey Negro  Highlights:Do not expect underground house music but easy listening orginal poolside tunes. Do not miss the “The Funky Train Leaves at Eight” and actually go on line and by the album.. It is very, very clever. “Wide Open” from Chocklate and the Checkup booty “Move Me vs My Forbidden Lover” are true little gems. The Lovebirds remix of “Free” is not too bad either with a nice cocktail in hand.. Enjoy your poolside mix and I will be back soon, still mixing from beautiful Greece.. where the beach, the sea, the food and the people are still magic! A bientôt Xtian

Ναι η οχι? Yes or No? I arrived in Athens as a storm was brewing.. A physical one but such a symbolic metaphor for the shambolic economic situation Greece is in.  I spent my first night looking at the thunder hitting the Parthenon and thinking that even Zeus was angry.. I started mixing choosing tunes that were sexy, some dark, some hopeful, some progressive, some sun-drenched, trying, when I could, to choose titles that referenced the issue at end. As a staunch European I have strong views on what is happening here, this is not the right forum nor my intention to force my views upon you, though the choice of titles might give some an inkling. For the Greece I love, let's remember that a storm always passes... Playlist:  2014 Melody Like A Drum Feat Lisa Donnelly (Wild Culture Remix).

Elevate your Mind A study at the Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University suggests that listening to music "can arouse feelings of euphoria and craving," even stimulating dopamine release in the brain — a chemical affiliated strongly with pleasure, reward and even addiction.Not that I needed the emprical data set to believe it, but countless studies do show that music has a LASTING impact on the brain plasticity.. There you go... save yourself a session and treat your brain to some free therapy :)Semi-chilled, slightly dark, resolutely progressive set.. Musical food for your brain cells. Find the right setting, load the set up and let your brain do the rest.. In many a way, where classical meets electronica.. Set got scratchy towards the final tracks.. It happens.. Pesky downbeats... Playlist:   2015 The Bridge (Shur-I-Kan Remix. vs Original Mix). Jody Wisternoff feat. Sian Evans 2014 Till I Come (Nick Devon & Inner Rebels Remix).

Bliss  Highlights:"The Bridge" from Jody Wisternoff popped out a few weeks ago in Matt Darey, Chicane and even Pete Tong top ten. Perfect blend of progressive and classical. Love the track so much that you are getting a double dose.. Beautiful just beautiful"Till I Come": appearing twice (at lest you know the set is unedited and exactly as it came out of the mixer).. Needed the first remix to set the darkish nocturnal mood and the second one because it is perfectly produced. And yes the smal vocal sample is from the ATB classic.."Aegean Sea" from Nikos Diamontopoulos. Very fine, very stuble work from an immense producers. This is a headphone track, so intricate it is.."Summer Fun" old trancy feel, almost Moroderesque.."Divine" from Russian producers SPDSC.. at the crossroads of progressive and nu disco.. because it was time to introduce some vocal (albe it dubbed)."Every Single Piece" from Redondo and Mr. Probz summer anthem "Waves".. when I first heard "Every Piece" I knew it needed to feature side by side with Waves.. Love the production and the "lightness" of it all.. Out of the darker side, into the dim light :)Another Jody Wisternoff tune with Click, Search.. The english born producer, half of the Way Out West outfit, is one out the most talented producers and songwriter of the 21st century progressive scene."Walk with Me" from Jetlag Prod. (Belgium).. New on the Anjunadeep label as the vibe wrote "this is how commercial house music should sound. Provocative, thoughtful but most importantly – good"."The Sin" from Bee Hunter.. A tactfully produced progressive/trancy production, light and right in the vibe I was going for.."Golden Sky" nice indie track with a massive remix from the Sons of Maria.. Just yum! Vocalist is Lika Morgan, can't wait to hear more from her.Wanted to finish the loop on a semi-classical track, hence dag up "Lost Soul" one of my favourite chill out tune.. Bliss from Bliss!I hope ( I know) I served you a very good selection of tracks with just so so mixing at times.. This one fell straight from the mixer and it looks I have much more in a similar vibe to come. A bientôt mes amis.  Xtian    

What is Nu Disco? To accompany the Birthday Boy on his ride. If I can't be there physically, let's at least be with you with my music...Set should mark the start of a more progressive series, which might culminate into YET another Trance Mission..What is Nu Disco? Beyond being a real annoyance as I hate adding genreS in my elaborate sorting algorithm, Nu Disco is the 21st century take on the late 70’s, 80’s Italo House disco sound. Imagine Studio 54 but… today!C&M Productions introduced me to that sound. My personal take on Nu Disco, the one I love, are tunes that insidiously make you want to dance by stealth. You are listening to progressive house and yet, through production, through samples, through ambience, you just get in the disco groove.So resurrect up your comfy dancing shoes, dig up the glitter, get the talcum powder ready and have a boogie on me!Playlist: 2015 Greece 2000 (Martin Brodin Re-Rub) [Xtian Sage Mash].

Lana Del Rey                        Highlights:I will start with Purple Disco Machine (https://soundcloud.com/purplediscomachine) from Germany who might be the best thing that happened to Houser in 2014. Immaculate production, original tune and yet capturing perfectly that happy groove. Check out “It’s on You” and “Deceiver”.“Greece 2000”: I have always love this Trance anthem. The chords progression is a classic and Xtian did a fair job discofying it with the French vocal sample.“Sound of Silence”: truth be told it belonged to the previous set but somehow I completely screwed up the version that was upload, which by no means was the final one. I had done that set whilst travelling and got the indexing very wrong. As I did not want to let this orphan go to waste, I added some beats and included it here. Acid beat and progressive take on an immense late 60’s classic. Pretty proud to have found it! Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for some it will be bliss..“Supernaturish”: if one tune should epitomize what Nu Disco is and summarize what I have attempted it is this new take on Cerrone (French king of the electronic disco sound) Supernatural classic. And just in case you did not get the disco feel, Xtian had to mash it up with “I love America”.. The boy needs to have fun.Wrapping the set up with an unreleased OtherSoul edit of Lana’s “Video Games” fitting closing track as the Spaniards’ production give the sultry Lana’s voice a definite disco kick. Hope you enjoy the Nu Disco venture. I should be back soon with more progressive sounds. A bientôt! Xtian

2015 En Mai, fais ce qu'il te plaîtFrench Proverb meaning “In May, do what pleases you”… Where I use the orphans on my hard drive.Claude Nougaro, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Grace Jones doing Edith Piaf, a Rolling Stones sampled cover, a twisted take of EBTG’s and lo and behold a 2015 remix of Neil Young/Nicolette Larson’s Lotta Love.. How is that for eclectic?Every year at about the time of my Taurean birthday, I try to put together a playlist of odd tunes, jams that never get a chance to make it to a set due to the filtering process I use. Either they are not quite five stars, do not fit into any strict genres or are jams I feel I may like but depart from a true house format.But it is that time of the year again and whilst I was on an extended trip to China and before embarking on a progressive house new journey, I propose you the 2015 version of “En Mai, fais ce qu'il te plaît”.It is eclectic, starting with a French flavour with the late Claude Nougaro, an old French jazz/rock artist, from my hometown of Toulouse, following is a little medley of Grace Jones using the current “Frenchie Thing” tune as a recall, before jumping into no less than Phil Collins and Eric Clapton.. All this with a definite House flavour.The set is different and might put off some listeners but once again remember: ”In May, do what pleases you”. Playlist: 2014 Nougayork (Dimitri from Paris Full Vocal Remix vs Night Dubbin’ in 2014). Claude Nougaro 2015 The Frenchie Thing [Xtian Paroles Edit]. Reboot 2012 La Vie en Rose (djGiel's la Vie Remix). Grace Jones 2014 Call Me Maybe (OtherSoul Remix). Carly Rae Jepsen 2012 I Cannot Believe It's True. (MikenandTess Booty Funk Edit). Phil Collins 2014 Hey, Hey (OtherSoul Illegal Remix). Dennis Ferrer 2012 Here Comes Every day (MikeandTess Mash up ).

Danny Losito, The Rolling Stones 2009 Needin U (DJ Wady Ibiza Mix). Mark Brown, Adam Shaw, The Face 2008 Higher and Higher (2008 Club Mix). Milk & Sugar 2010 Just Won't Do (Pirupa & Pigi Remix). Analog People In A Digital World, Tim Deluxe, Sam Obernik, Pirupa, Pigi 2013 Cocaine (iLicris Remix). Eric Clapton 2015 Wrong (Jolyon Petch Club Mix). eSQUIRE & PETCH, Jolyon Petch, Esquire 2013 The Music Sounds Better With You (Carl Hanaghan Remix). Speedboats, Big Explosions 2015 Lotta Love (Alaia Gallo Remix) .Vintage Lounge Orchestra 2014 Let the Music Play (Neo funk Mix). Rob Hayes Private Collection  Highlights: This set is different but I do not infer it is particularly good. I sometimes find it highly entertaining to listen to classics being “housified”…This being said, do not miss the Dimitri from Paris take on Claude Nougaro’s “Nougayork”! Claude Nougaro was a immensely talent French jazz/rock artist and poet from my hometown of Toulouse. I remember as a student seeing him getting wasted in bars on a daily basis.On day he went to NY and and bluffed the local studio talent royalty by sitting down in the recording room, jammin’ with them and within 30 days release the perfect album. It is a pity that most of you may not understand French because the lyrics are both an ode and a wink to America, from someone who theoretically would have had his musical roots there but was so far removed from the Yankee culture. Finally Claude Nougaro wrote the most beautiful song on his/my hometown “Toulouse”.. I am providing the link down-below. The lyrics are poetry of the highest order and I can’t hear this song without a massive homesick feeling..Reboot’s Frenchie Thing.. As soon as I heard the track, I recognized the sample and knew that I would try to present alongside the original. It took me a while to find a remix of Grace Jones’ classic that would marry well. Found it on SoundCloud, impressive work. The original Grace Jones cover of Piaf “La Vie en Rose” will remain a house classic for times to come. Kudos to Reboot to have had a play with it.Phil Collins.. How lame as it may be, there are two or three Collins’ albums I love. The sound, the production, the funk, right or wrong I will it is analogue house music without the label…“Miss You”.. Had to have a Rolling Stones in there.. The remix is very allusive but the basic swagger of the original tune is there.“Needin’ U” and “Higher & Higher”: I went to see David Morales last month.. Loved it and thought I would re-listen to his classics.. Immense artist and great DJ. I felt he was sticking a bit too much to one format ( 1 Studio 54 track, 1 soulful, 1 semi-tech, 1 sexy and back to Studio 54 to close the loop). It worked perfectly at the start but got a bit tedious. But it was perfectly executed. I think what through me out was when he dropped the second Gloria Gaynor in one hour.“Just Won’t Do”, a remix Tim Deluxe classic, which will take the old clubbers who follow back a decade at least..Clapton’s “Cocaine”… A friend of mine Lisa, at every party I play, once she is fired up has always the same request “Christian, please drop Cocaine”. Be it in the middle of a soulful set, trance, the request is always there.. Well, Lisa I have now not one but two usable remix of Cocaine, which I will gladly drop in order for you to toe that narrow line..The eSQUIRE & PETCH remix of EBTG’s “Wrong”.. I love EBTG and hearing a new jackin’ remix of “Wrong” was a treat I could not pass.“Lotta Love”.. I remember my brother playing the original from Neil Young and Nicolette Larson.. Had to put that one in.Realizing at this stage that I could have put a Beatles tu8ne to close the loop… Well it will have to come next year, for the next session of “En Mai, fais ce qu'il te plaît”.Just about to embark in a long progressive series.. I will see you on the other side. Already mixed a couple, therefore the wait will not be too long. Hope you enjoy this one. Soory I could not fit it into a CD length format by I was O/S and/or on a plane whilst mixing it.. A bientôt Xtian

Deep Sessions VIII (Where America meets Europe) Foreword on the art: I found this little gem whilst looking for the better album cover for the set. This place in Iceland called Þingvellir is on the plate boundary of the tectonic plates of America and Europe. Both plates drifting apart leaving behind cracks in the surface, which are sometimes filled by water. From the inner geek in me, it was like sweet chocolate.. To see the pic in its entire beauty:https://www.flickr.com/photos/lichtmaedel/8528196516/ Deep Sessions VIII: where New York and Chicago meet Manchester and Berlin. Where left-brain meets right-brain. Where Grooves meets Technique. Where inner pain meets self sehnsucht. Back again, just when I thought I would give Deep a rest for the sake of the genre and my followers sanity !!J I was playing around with current tunes, trying to work out how to structure, build and put together a decent Deep House set. I was looking at what worked and what didn’t in the previous seven attempts. The thought occurred to me that I’d rather focus on why I love Deep, what brought me to the genre and why I always end up wanting and a tad frustrated with my results when tackling Deep. Now let’s delve into a LONG digression into my personal Journey into House, which will bring light to the whole Deep Sessions project: Deep House is intrinsically an American, East Coast, Detroit and Chicago sub-genre. At its best, it has distinct African-American roots. No one does it better.. There is an inherent sadness, groove, pain in the original Deep House tunes, which I am absolutely convinced could not have been found on the West coast nor dreamed up through a white male/female experience. Just as Blues (which I love as well) is well documented to have started with African-American slave songs but was later embraced by non-ethnic artists, Deep House just had to stem from “deep within” the African soul... But unlike Blues Deep has groove and funk.. Deep is my House first love. But House is definitively not where my musical journey started… As a teenager, I went from Progressive Rock to Electronica. Eventually I dipped into Techno, only to veer towards Balearic Trance. It is when I was still listening to Techno and Trance that I discovered Deep, with tracks that where at the congruence of deep and techno. If memory serves me right, it is whilst listening to Laurent Garnier and the whole techno Manchester crew that I first encountered House. Deep Tech House.. First US track I can recall listening to and eventually buying was Elements from Danny Tenaglia and some MK track I can’t recall.. Very far away from the soulful house I now love but very much in the vein of Techno.. With an immature hate of disco, I could never have found at the time any interest in funky or soulful house. But through Techno, Deep was the conduct I needed to finally encounter, discover African music and rhythm.  Spoon-fed with classical and pop music, House could never have been my first love. From US Deep House, I started becoming interested in what was produced in Europe.. With the Global Underground label, some Perfecto tunes, Sasha, German Djs, Armand etc.. It all started to make sense! In Deep House, I could find a musical, emotional space, which would encompass both the electronica I had loved and the American House sound I was discovering. It was at around that time that I discovered C&M Productions and Truehouse. With their help, I never looked back.. They introduced me to the fifty shade of Deep, chill-house, soulful house and , god forbid for the disco hater I was, funky house! With them, the journey continued into progressive house and today we are all embarking into the nu-disco indie house journey. What C&M Productions and truehouse did was to bring all the pieces together. Bring the European electronica I had loved in my younger years with the US and African-American music I had originally missed but was by then hooked on.. Bless Christian Kistler and Marc Zehnder from C&M. C&M Productions’ Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/truehousehttp://www.truehouse.nethttps://www.facebook.com/groups/35964829231/http://www.discogs.com/artist/18825-C-M-Productionshttp://www.truehouse.ch/social-media.html#.VTyEW-n25lE.twitter End of the VERY LONG digression, which should frame the whys and whats of this upload. It was when I reflected on all of the above that I understood that to build a Deep House set I would like, which felt natural and flowed, I would have to bring all those musical influences together.. Be true to what I love and feel.. Can’t just be US Deep, for its not my original journey, nor my true experience, can’t be just European Deep, Progressive House, for it would rob me of those US influences and rhythms I have learned to yearn for.. I have to “mix” the two.. Loop done! Hence the title of the Set “Where America meets Europe”..  Deep House Sessions VIII: a true deep, slightly sexy and techie episode. Sometimes progressive set, sometimes just Deep with both a feel of European Electronica and a sprinkling of East Coast groove. Playlist:  2012 Can You Feel It (Original Mix). 11 inch & Jesse Lee Davis 2014 Wondrous Place (Pete Oak Remake).

Katerina 2014 Feel The Fire (Original Mix). Eli & Fur 2015 Ever Wanted (Original Mix). Juliet Fox, Reno Ka 2014 Deep In My Soul (Original Mix). 16 Bit Lolitas  Highlights: “Can You Feel It”: A classic deep house tune to headline the set produced in Germany whereas I would have lost a bet thinking this, without a doubt, was an American production. I know that some will not like the overly sexy, macho tone but Deep can be sexy and this track surely is.Chosen because of the lyrics and the fact that its melodic line is basically three faint chords, all supported by beats and a bassline.. The rap-like chorus at the end is pure serendipity.. I needed to catch up with the next tune, which was 6 bpm higher and it just happened! “Wondrous Place” is a stylish remake from Danish producer Pete Oak, perfect to introduce the haunting dimension of European deep production. An very introspective track with truly amazing vocals from Nathalie Mc Cool. Do not miss this track! Chosen for its atmosphere and its layering, listen how with every break, Pete is adding a percussion, which draws you into the song and the melody. Masterful. Pete Oak’s and Nathalie McCool Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/pete-oakhttps://www.facebook.com/PeteOakMusichttp://www.nataliemccool.co.uk/ “The Melody” from Deep House legend and Salted Music label honcho Miguel Migs from San Francisco. Miguel began his career as a guitarist in an Jamaican/African band and went on to become one of the founders of American deep chill house. We all have bought Salted Music CDs, a label known for the absolute perfection of its release. I chose the track because it does force us to “feel the Melody”, not obvious at first but as layers are added throughout, you get the feel. As a listener, you are asked to be active, not passive to get the groove. The basic deep house five chords are also right in my sweet spot. Following with “Falling” by the same Miguel Migs. Introducing a more challenging track with syncopated beats but very much connected to the previous one. Variations of the same build yet a totally different tune. And as you progress through the tune, you feel the subtle funk/disco keys coming up in the background. Miguel Migs’ Internet resources: https://soundcloud.com/miguelmigs1http://miguelmigs.comhttps://www.facebook.com/DJMiguelMigs  “Come Together” from Chicago born DJ Pierre, who started in the Acid House sound before fully committing to Deep House. We are now in underground Deep House, a space where beats and tweak sounds rule. Make no mistake EVERYTHING here has been created by the producer, no sample sounds used. The bass, the beats, the hihats, everything is original.Where deep meets techno.. I almost did not include this track, as I know some will find it a bit too raw and challenging but Deep House needs a challenge or two throughout the journey. It can’t be all-smooth, no-edge for it would end up as pure background music. Beyond the tech house feel, I also chose the tune for its message.. “People come together, feel the music, listen to the sound of the underground and make it happen”. DJ Pierre Internet resources (?):https://soundcloud.com/djpierreafroacidhttps://www.facebook.com/DJPIERREACIDHOUSE “Off The Cuff “ from Phasen & Refurb, Florida based producers. I love Karol XVII & MB Valence, 2 polish producers. I have been buying without hesitation all of their releases for a long time. They belong in my top five deep house producers.I chose the track for its distinctive European feel, with immaculate production. Listen to the simple bass beat, the subtle high pitch keys and that deep groove synth coming along and bring the melody together. But wait… after the main break, something that is unmistakably techno. Deep House at its very best! Again DO NOT MISS this track!I could have left the tune as it was, a semi instrumental tune but I felt that on the one hand I might lose some listeners in the techno parts and on the other you know me by now enough to expect some vocal samples… Besides, for once, I think I delivered. Phase, Refurb and Karol XVII & MB Valence Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/phasenhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Phasen/65046003082https://soundcloud.com/refurbhttps://www.facebook.com/refurbedhumanhttps://soundcloud.com/karolxviimbvalencehttps://www.facebook.com/KarolXVIIandMBValence “Rendezvous“ from Spiritchaser duo Mark Bamford & Richard Earnshaw.. UK based Richard Earnshaw would be my favourite living producer. His label, Duffnote, releases pearl after pearl. From Soulful to Deep, what Richard does with his Spiritchaser mate is always perfection I chose “Rendezvous” because it epitomizes everything I love about Deep House: the groove, the undergroove driven by bassline and keys, the production, the dream-like journey and if you listen carefully, there is even a bit of tech house somewhere in the drops.I added the vocals and I hope I did not denature the fantastic track it already was.. DO NOT MISS this track! Spiritchaser and Richard Earnshaw Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/spiritchaser-1https://www.facebook.com/SpiritchaserOnlinehttp://www.spiritchaser-online.comhttps://soundcloud.com/earnshawmusichttps://www.facebook.com/earnshawmusichttp://soundcloud.com/duffnote  Onto “Without You” from Lane 8 from Leipzig, Germany. Another standout track, close to be my favourite of the set. Listen how the track is driven by the little percussions, the producer added after each 16 bars.Pure genius, deep and soulful with a bit of subtle hip hop in the background 3/4 down the track.. I cannot even start to formalize how this groove touches me! A masterpiece of simplicity and feel. Lane 8 Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/lane8musichttps://www.facebook.com/lane8music?_rdr “The Warning” from Logic.. Originally released in 1990, this cut is a 2015 edit. I could not find much about Eddie Satin and Wayne Gardiner. I just know that Wayne G was one of the original producer of Strictly Rhythm and I believe he is from the US.. I did hesitate to include the track in my final mix. Though I have used the vocal sample countless of times and love the original, this cut was a bit long and went into a jazzy groove with that high pitched sax I have real trouble tolerating. I chopped the remix, doubled the vocal sample and made a user-friendly radio edit.. I am not proud of it considering the tune is one of the pillars of Deep, Tech house but it allowed me to fit the set in the 80 minutes CD format.. “Jus Dance” from Mr. V. Where do I start? You all know I am a slut for Mr V. He could speak up the phone book and I would love it. In fact I think he should adlib the white pages, I would buy it… Mr. V (aka Viktor Font) grew up (where else could he be from?) NYC..  He dabbled in all genres of music, met Louie Vega and the rest is house music history.. His label “Sole Channel Music” is a stalwart of American house and a synonym of quality. His groove is without equivalent, his voice perfect for Deep House adlib and he brings that oh-so-needed hip-hop swag to House music.. “Jus’ Dance” was originally released in 2004. It is one of my favourite NYC house track and will remain so because it has funk, groove, street cred and is an utterly sexy tune. I chose the 2015 release by Swiss remixer Dario D’Attis, a regular on Jaimie Lewis’ Purple Music label, for its absolute perfection in production (please listen on some good headphones) and its distinct tech house feel.If you think Deep House is not sexy or that one cannot dance to Deep.. Think again and listen to this very tune again.. This is the very track where America meets Europe.. Jus’ DANCE!! M. V and Dario D’Attis Internet resources:https://www.facebook.com/SOLEchannelhttps://soundcloud.com/solechannelmusichttps://soundcloud.com/dario-dattis-1 “Be Free “ by Nikos Diamantopoulos, top Greek producer from Athens and someone I have recently bought a lot of tunes from. I discovered Nikos through DJ Jask from Thai Soul Music, which is an assurance for talented remixers. I chose the track because at this time in the set, after a few challenging tracks and Xtian’s edits, I thought it was time to throw some sugar around and make sure you would stay with me.. I tried to mash two remixes and bring their choruses together like in a church canon.. Not sure I fully achieved my goal but it sort of works and some talented DJ can bring my idea to full glory. The track itself is deep bordering on funk with in the back an amazing slide funky guitar line.. Deep and Funky, this one will make you want to dance.. Nikos Diamantopoulos’ Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/nikosdiamantopoulos After the sugar comes the spice! “Feel The Fire” by Eli and Fur, two female songwriters and producers from London, UK. With 16B Lolitas, Billion, AM2PM, the UK is home of very interesting artists in the Progressive House, deep genre.Another close favourite track of the set for its cheeky melody, outstanding production and tech prog house feel. In love those girls, check their page! DO NOT MISS !!! Eli and Fur Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/eliandfurhttps://www.facebook.com/eliandfurdjs?_rdr Continuing in the deep and progressive vibe, “Ever Wanted” by Reno K and Juliet Fox. Juliet is originally from South Australia, both DJ and producer, she teamed up with Reno Ka from London to produce this little dark progressive number.. Juliet Fox and Reno Ka Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/djjulietfoxhttps://soundcloud.com/renoka To close the set, one of the best track of 2014: “Deep in my Soul” from 16 Bit Lolitas. Ariaan Olieroock and Peter Kriek are two producers from the Netherlands. I have bought countless tracks from them. Stalwarts of the Anjuna Deep label, they represents what Europe does best in the deep Progressive genre.I chose the track as its title was fitting to close the set and because its production is flawless. If anyone wants to lean how to build a track, I suggest you study this one day in day out.. 16 Bit Lolitas Internet resources:https://soundcloud.com/16bitlolitashttps://www.facebook.com/16bitlolitas?_rdrhttps://www.facebook.com/16bitlolitas   And...we are done!!! Hope you like the set! Sorry for the War and Peace blog.. but I do like this set and felt I needed the space.. Next one will be most probably soulful and beach house.. A bientôt! Xtian

Deep Sessions VII (126 bpm Deep n’ Dance) The seven episodes of Deep Sessions should really be called Fifty Shades of Deep. It would have been a better title and a true depsiction of what those sessions are about. Yet I did not want to make an event of 7 concomitant uploads and felt like being a bit clinical.I want to keep the blurb to a minimum and let the deepnest talkEmbarking in a avalanche of Deep House uploads. I buy a lot of Deep House tunes, yet upload very few true Deep House sets. Though I believe Deep House is where I find the most consistent Talent and great quality tunes, being a slut for vocals and pretty tunes, I tend to shy away from publishing any Deep House mixes.Willingly or not, I always fall into the trap of including soulful tracks when I try to go deep. Let’s hope that by the time I am done with Deep House Sessions, I will have published something which is true to the genre.Final word, I really tried thoughout the session to showcase great artists I never uploaded before.. For the ones I know and are not featured this time ( thinking of you Petros), please accept my absolute apologies. No particular order in the uploads but for the fact that I went up the bpm genre with every set.Here we go.. Deep Sessions VII (126 bpm Deep n’ Dance) Deep Sessions VII (126 bpm Deep n’ Dance): It's deep but it bounces and you want to dance..Tracklist:   2014 Deep House (Seb Skalski Rework).Ray Paxon & Grooveprofessor 2007 Vintage Circuits (Original Mix).

"Truth" from Uness and Jedset, just challenging enough to be deep but such a layered track.. Everything is unique, the bass, the beats, the keys, nothing feels cheap.. "Feel the Heat" from Gianni N of TrueHouse fame.. Not only do I love the track, but buying was a pleasure as I have listened to Gianni' sets free for far too long. Deep House and Kathy Perry? Well courtesy of Othersoul it is a reality! Listen to "Dark Horse" and you will never think of Kathy the same again! And continung with Othersoul a deep yet funky rendition of "Time to get Funky". Love those two spaniards.. The keys are fabulous! "Yuki" from Hideo Kobayashi, a pure deep house gem, Kobayashi is my absolute favourite japanese producer and I needed to have one of his in these sessions. DO NOT MISS! And to finish the Deep House sessions "True Love" because indeed not everyone understands House music..  I am done with deep for a little while unless I upload a very current one but I hope you will find somewhere in the quantity of uploads a reason to love it D3EP! Xtian

Following is the VERY CLEVER MASHUP of Mike and Tess, Mr V and Adele mashed up, who would have thought? Do not miss it! And now for all the froggies out there, pour mes compatriotes, a 70's standard, which our parents were listening to Claude Francois Alexandrie Alexandra through the pure genius of Dave Allen aka Joey Negro.. I could not miss it ;). A good candidate for stand-out Carl Cox's tech deep number "Time for House Music".. Nice one Carl. Finishing with my personal favourite Shane D's remix of Deep House (Inside Me)... Deep with a groove.. what I really love the most..Xtian

Another good track, "Invisions" from Roisin Murphy. "Everyone" Ron Carroll doing what he does best and Muscara giving it a perfect wrapper. Listen to Nikos Kalogerias remix of "Fade", grant Nelson just did a 2015 edit of his anthem.. well let me tell you Nikos' remix is much better.. Finishing with "Time to get Funky" because Deep can be funky! Xtian

"Together" from AM2PM my current favourite act with Billon.. her voice is truly unique.Finishing with "Let it rain" from Roland Knights, a tune you should not miss either. Xtian

Eddie Amador   Highlights:       "I'll Take You" pure Deep goodness fitting to headline the set.. "Flashback" from Dominic Dawson embodies what good Deep House does to me, challenging but once I get into it, the music that emotionally moves me the most. It is about the groove... "Gave you my Soul" at the confines of deep and Indie, another standout... "Family Comes First" scroll to catch how good this is! "House Music" anthem that it is fitting track to finish the set. Xtian

I love "Stuttgart", scroll not to miss it because when bossa nova is mixed deep it irresistible. With "Dontcha Wanna Dance", I might have erred again and included some funk, soulful into what is supposed to be solely deep.. mea culpa.. Tune is fab! Love "Things behind" from Jimster a perfect example of what Deep House really is! Nikos' remix of Coolio's hit  might surprise some but deep it remains.. "Yuki" perfectly produced is Deep with a swing.. Much love for the production. Finishing with Ridney's rendition of "I'll Take U There".. on par with Deep in my Soul to be the stand out of the set. Xtian

Not quite deep enough but a good first session to entice you to sample more. Tracklist:   2013 Lost in the Sun (OtherSoul Disko Tek Mix). Ivy 2014 Don't Look Any Further (D.Rossini & Mappa Remix). Danilo Rossini 2014 Point of View. Jakobin & Domino 2014 Magic (Original Mix). Teenage Mutants, Lars Moston 2014 Native Riddim (Original Mix). Coeo 2014 Don't Stop (Original Mix).

Superlover  Highlights:"Native Riddim" from Coeo, simple tune introducing what deep really is, "I Can Feel It" from Salted Music's Miguel Migs finally hitting the depth I wanted, love the subtle piano. "House Music" from Harley & Muscle is the standout of the set for me. This is Deep House at its very best! Another Migs tunes with "Let the Music Play", which really summarize the attitude one shoud have with deep House.. Just let it roll, make yourself available to the music. With "Moving in You" from Dan Cano, we are without doubt listening to true deep house. This is subtle and perfectly produced. The 2 Karol XVII & MB Valence's jams are a bit challenging but again this is what deep House is as well..Done, now to the next one.Xtian  

 Trance Mission Episode 4 (Still with me?) The fundamental question is: Are you Still with Me? Apologies to all but I took a little break.. A few lines to frame the context: I have had the set on my HD for now 4 months. I actually mixed it the day of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, hence the intro and then I kept it and kept it and .. kept it. I had received a few pointedly true comments relating to the previous set, which, decent as it was, did contain a few too many poppy tracks. I may ( well I did...) have overdone the Sophie Ellis Bextor segment.. What can I say, I am just a weak old middle-aged straight man.. Not an excuse, just a statement. Anyhow, I thought I would wait until Trance Mission Episode 4 was the best I could produce. Not inferring it is perfect ny now but the version I am publishing ticks all the boxes, covers all the criteria I had set for myself. It is not just Trance, but House, Chill, Progressive, Tribal, Deep  and also Trance.. It is what I call Trouse and is the genre I would love the most if it ever existed! Let’s set the scene. At the start imagine yourself about 30 minutes from sunset, it’s hot, you are on the beach somewhere and are listenning to Tribal beats. From there let the music wave guide you, take control of your body. Feel the beat, feel the wave and let yourselves GO! The sun will set and it will be time for the party to get on its way. It will start with Trance, Disco, Dance and House anthems culminating in a Trouse fest.. It's a Rave as an early listener mentioned.. Setting the bar high there, let’s see if I have delivered. Playlist: 2010 Now (Sharam Crazy Remix). King Britt feat Astrid Suryanto 2011 Pressure (Rene Amez Remix). Alex Kenji, Starkillers feat. Nadia Ali 2011 Hide U (Jerome Isma-Ae Remix).

Chicane feat Bo Bruce.  Highlights: Absolute gem and a 2015 release is “Still with Me” from the new Chicane album “The Sum of Its Parts”.  Originally the track was released in 2013 by Tritonal, Chicane took it to another level with Bo Bruce as a vocalist..  An absolute gem, classic Chicane, as good as Saltwater and his other massive tunes.. Love it!! But perhaps because of the Tribal beat and the haunting melody, my absolute fav is “Now” from King Britt.. If you do not like the tune, stop following me because we are from different planets. In many ways it reminds of Ravel’s bolero.. Same structure, same false simplicity, same perfection. Onto two classics with “Pressure” and “Hide U”.. Two of my “anchor tunes” and I do have a soft spot for Nadia Ali. The y fitted perfectly with the tribal beach vibe I wanted at the start of the set. “Sun Goes Down” by Robyn Schulz, I heard the tune first on a live set from Chicane in Dubai. Though chilled and repetitive, I wanted to bring everything down looking at the sun going down and the tune fitted perfectly. Once chilled and quiet down, time to party with a couple of Trance/Disco numbers. Starting with Umek’s very clever take on Moroder’s Chase from Midnight Express and a Freemason’s classic Pjanoo.. Should get everyone on their fit, with a wide smile ready for a BIG night. Still with Me by Chicane.. Enough said, this is perfection in progressive or Trance or Trance.. Onto someone who first heard the unfinished set called “Rave music”.. Well it kind of is, but I tried rave music with a house twist throughout. Starting with A&B “Lonely Girl”, I love the female vocalist , she is pitch perfect and the built and keys are what this style is all about.. Classical Music brought to EDM.. With “Only a Dream” we are now in full-on Trance but I thought that I could add a house anthem sample to make it more interesting and bring on what is pure Deep House here-after.. I shifted up the Larse remix of “Hallelujah Anyway” and with pure luck it worked!“One Thousand Sun” by Chicane and Ferry Corsten , another good friend, Denise , to whom I sent an unpublished file, made the comment that she did not like the tune. As Viv, my wife, had already told me once she did not like it either I thought something had to be done. The tune fails because the vocal version gets irritating, A very mediocre vocalist or just not the key he should be singing in.. Anyhow I stripped the vocals and lo and behold thought I could try to mash it up with KOT’s Finally… Big work with a half decent result.. But BOY did I have fun!! This is precisely why I do THIS, to sometimes create! Reintroduce a short version of the original vocal stem and went back to “Finally”. Can’t wait to see how this will work out live.. Two Chicane tracks to follow “ No More I Sleep” and “38 Weeks”… I just did not want to shy away from Trance by this stage.. Episode is called Trance Mission after all.. Tried again to mashup KOT’s “Finally” into “38 Weeks” with limited success.. I had been asked by no les than my son, to remix my edit of Chicane’s “Going Deep” [My First Time Edit].. I had lost it when I changed computer and he wanted it as a workable playable file with stems separated. I have had friend’s telling me that once they heard those edits, they always wait for the samples to kick in the original remixes.. This was as good a time as any to do it and save the stems. Closing the set with the beautiful and uplifting Disco Citizen Mix of “Still with Me” as a reminder that it is the catalyst of the set.. So ARE YOU STILL WITH ME? It will take a little while for me to return to Trance but there will be an episode 5 and 6 in the semi-near future. As I mixed 9 sets of pure Deep House when I was on holidays in January, I will wait for this set to settled and upload one Deep one weekly. A bientôt. Christian

Trance-Mission Episode 03 (Ride the Wave) All sine waves are characterized by their frequency, amplitude and phase.. Let's alter all those parameters... Continuing my Trance-Mission. Last episode left us just “As the Rush Came”, this one is all about riding that metaphorical and physical sine wave.. Come and Ride it with Me.. Waves are all around us, light waves, sound waves, sub-atomic quantum waves and also liquid waves of course. There are no real difference in the physics of the surfing wave,the sound wave and the chemical wave, they are all encompassing.. One cannot fight the wave, one has to accept the highs, the lows, surrender to the overwhelming phenomena or emotion. Fight it and you fall into the abyss, ride it and you come back on top ready for the next one.. Although we are in Tranceland, I tried to keep it in my beloved Trouse.. If I did my selection right, at the end of this journey, you will have discovered some great tunes, be surprised by some edgier, harder ones, recognized some old club favourites, taken from one track you love to one you are not sure of, but you will have ridden that Wave and landed with a satisfactory smile on the other side of the tunnel.. At least this was my intent!   Current tunes or 2014 remixes of tracks you know very well. Some commercial, some less, some chilled, some pure club-dance. Some dark and heavy , some as warm as the summer sun. Embark on a musical helter-skelter, ride the wave high and low and look at this new episode as a whole journey, do not take a tune by tune attitude, because it will not work. Embrace the total Wave… I will try to set the mood for you: this is what a DJ would play in a boy’s club past-midnight when the chase, the hunt and the urge has taken them over... Playlist:  Intro Come with Me on the Beach.

Bee Hunter, Marc Evans 2014 We’re All We Need (Spada Remix). Above & Beyond feat.  Zoe Johnston   Highlights: “We’re All We Need”, new collaboration between A&B and the fantastic vocalist Zoe Johnston. Not quite at the level of the fantastic Love is not Enough, which is one of my all time favourite Trance track but still very, very good and top 5 trance track of 2014. I almost called the set “We’re all we need” as it could have been a very fitting title. “Don’t Stop” and “After Glow” to bring a dark sexy under-current ( to continue the nautical analogy). Both tracks straight out an ADE 2014 compilation called Intricate Records Amsterdam 2014 which you should by.. I actually had “Don’t Stop”, followed by “Till I Come” followed by”Afterglow”.. I was very pleased oh-not-so subtle riddle.. But it was totally gratuitous and the 3 tracks were keeping the set tempo too slow for far too long. “Let Go” a little progressive trance, trousy number with another great vocalist Julie Thompson.   “Need 2 Know” I wanted to go back to this track, one of the best of 2014 to showcase the East8 Remix, which even though not as good as the Earnshaw one, presents a different dimension to the State Unknow jam. “Sunlight” a Tommy MC soundcloud bootleg.. Does not get more commercial than this but needed to lighten the mood and start bringing some fun into the mix. You will sing-a-long.. Going darker and harder with David Penn/Rae’s “I Lift My Hands”. Love Rae by far the best female DJ/Producer around. Straight onto an old French house favourite of mine “Discopolis” ( straight men if you have never seen the video clip, search for it..). The Freemsasons remix fitting perfectly the mood I wanted the set to be by now.. Heavy but still clubby. From there embarking on a little Sophie Ellis-Bextor medley. Love her since GrooveJet times! I recently saw a video of a show she did live accapella and then with a band in London.. Sophie rocks. She is beautiful well spoken, elegant and immensely talented. Starting with “Only Child”, her new Dec 2014 release straight onto another Freemasons remix of Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer).. By now, you have successfully ridden the Wave! I had another go at using the Marc Evans vocals on a Trance track with “Shirahama”, definitively not as good as my previous attempt but I was bringing the set home and I was in the moment, waiting to send a message of Love consideering the recent event in Paris. Closing the loop with another remix of “We’re All We Need”.. track of the set.. I will see what the community makes of this Episode. I hope you give it a chance to grow on you. DO NOT fight the wave. Embrace it! A final word on the recent event in my country. I thought of doing a set to celebrate freedom of expression but could not find the right metal place to build it. Therefore just a few words, yes, JeSuisCharlie and so should you all be, because freedom of expression is an indisputable foundation of the Human Rights.. A bientôt! Xtian

Bobby’s Birthday (The Sexy Classics Session) Beware Not for Children.. Explicit.. but if you do not know the Kim Cooper’s gem DO NOT SHY AWAY! I had some surgery done on my elbow and arm and was out for a few weeks. I eventually came back to check how my last podcast went and … lo and behold realized it had 11K+ downloads! I must say, I am every happy about it! I tend to shy away from pure house and it was comforting to have the feeling that I had put a decent one up strongly validated. I went on to read the latest comments and saw Bobby Manson’s. Bobby has been following me for years, from the very start. It is thanks to listeners like him, who interact when they like something I have posted that I still feel the urge to try something vaguely original. I do it for myself but also because and for everyone who actively engage with my tunes.  Therefore Bobby, these 3 sessions are for YOU! Happy birthday mate!

Take Me to a Higher Ground… !!!! Warning: some expletives and drug references !!! Set could have been called “15 Shades of House” or “What is House without Big Piano Keys?” But I thought I shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to give Blonde and Grant Nelson a some exposure.. 14 good tracks … 13 from the last quarter of 2014.. Proud of that! In the past few months, I have been utterly bored with Soulful and, to a certain extent, with with any non-progressive house. "Take Me to a Higher Ground" reunites me with the genre.. What changed my mind? -  Mixing it up between true soulful gems and edgier tunes with some rasp built-in gave depth and colours to my set. - Inviting House royalty to the party did help! Grant Nelson, Richard Earnshaw, Sandy Rivera, Kings of Tomorrow, Spiritchaser, Eric Kupper and Miguel Migs.. Need I say more? - Finally finding great, very recent tracks! “Higher Ground”, “Need 2 Know”, “Bang, Bang” and “Special”… The latter 3 released in the last fortnight and all of them in my 2014 House top five.. The pleasure to discover new tracks, associated to the relief of not having to include old ones, rekindled my interest. There you have it.. A very decent House set to listen to! I promise it will grow on you.Playlist: 1969 Intro Apollo 11 Counrdown. NASA Soundcloud Page 2014 Higher Ground (Taft_Purple Disco Machine vs Taft Remix.)

Terri Walker 2014 Kissin  Huggin Pt 2_(Jay Vegas Remix) [Xtian My Naughty Way Edit feat. Phil Weeks). Boy Orlando 2014 Let It Play (Original Mix). Miguel Migs feat. Martin Luther  Highlights: “Higher Ground”:  I first heard the track on Grant Nelson’s housecall.  Grant had done a private edit of the Blonde’s tunes, it was clear it had anthem potential. You get a mash on my 3 favourite remixes. I am sure more will come, too much potential for other producers not to have a go. Big keys, heavy bass and an outstanding melody line. “Need 2 Know” from Richard Earnshaw, heard it first unreleased on Jask’s ThaiSoul podcast on MixCloud.. Immediate love. Earnshaw is one of the top five house producers and never, never disappoints. As to the vocalist, Cassandra London, absolute respect. Production is immaculate. “Bang, Bang”: Sandy Rivera, April and the KOT outfit.. Sandy and April, not sure who is the muse of the other, but very much like the previous track, this tune is intricate and goes way beyond the melody line.. I needed a wider appeal than a purely melodic one to regain interest in Soulful House.. Grant Nelson, Richard Earnshaw and Sandy Rivera just provided it.. As for April, what a vocalist! Listen every word is expressed not just sung. “Don't Look Any Further”: old tune, new take.. My wife was cringing a bit with the tenor sax.. I had to tell her that the sugary, well-know tune needed the edge.  The sax solo is not too long and without it.. It would just be another cover of a classic.. “Special” from Billon feat Maxine Ashley.. I discovered the track on Housecall # 120.. Must have been a private edit because the track was only released on the 7th of November.. I waited all that time for I wanted to use a legal cut and check out the different remixes.. So catchy! And the CamelPhat remix is perfect.. I could not resist to fuse in Grant Nelson’s edit but left the Housecall jingle to acknowledge the source. I believe I did a decent job of fusing both version.. and yes this tune is F@ckin’ Special!!! With “Secret” we delve back into classic but recent soulful house. A track, which I think is more for the dancefloor than just podcasting.  Jumping quickly straight into a bit of U-ness and Jedset with their Mandela’s tribute to steer the set back to true soulful “Paradise Row” from Spiritchaser.. The only relatively old tune of the set ( 2012), an old time favourite of mine and I felt I deserved dropping a classic by that time. I have to mention the vocalist, Emily Cooke, full respect! “High Enough” , new take on an old classic.. Inaki Garcia, whom I have played a lot of tracks, gives the tuen an edge it needed to make it relevant. “My Feelin’” from AM2PM. I discovered AM2PM on Housecall recently with a mini mix they did. It blew me away. AM2PM is a collaboration unit where the amazing singer adlib on instrumental tracks, this is House at its absolute finest.. Do to miss and go to their soundcloud page to hear how creative and amazing they sound. “Missing You” Kupper’s Director’s Cut of the Frankie Knuckles classic..  The track would not have made the playlist if it had not been for all the rest.. This is what I mean by being bored with Soulful.. As it is and by the time it dropped, I felt it was perfectly suited to play it.. It is really all about mixing it up… Kissin’ and Huggin’… Old househeads will immediately recognize Peter Heller’s Big Love, Boy Orlando inspiringly twisted it to Kissin’ to Huggin and Xtian had to play around with the Phill Weeks sample to had the personal naughty touch. Last track “Let the Music Play”.. fitting ending and loving the swag, the production, the “now” feel. Just by the length of the highlights you can see I like this set.. Give it a fair go, this is a little journey into the various colours ( hence the 15 shades) of current melodic House Music. It will grow on you. Next up could be another soulful though most probably will return to progressive before embarking into TranceMission Episode 03 A bientôt Xtian

Spring has Sprung Pt.3 (Vintage Trance for Vintage Ravers) Third and last part.. It got a bit more interesting from there on.. A bit of context.. For a few years, our crew has been yearning for some good old uplifting Trance.. Back to the 90’s.. I was quite apprehensive about it, not being sure that we ,still, actually could handle any sustained trance. I did learn a few things whilst mixing the set and I will come back to that later, but I am happy to report that I was proven wrong., Trance can work if appropriately tailored to the crowd. Straight out of the mixer with all the imperfections of live mixing.. Be kind! It consists mainly of big anthems and/or Xtian’s Edits I have dropped before, with a couple a new mash-ups I have been working on.. Playlist: Toca’s Miracle (Tom Novy Jashari Deepdown Mix). Fragma Touch Me (Classic 2009 Mix). Tom & Jerry feat Abigail Bailey Rapture (Dance Extended Mix). ReUnited See The  Sun (Aurosonic Intro Remix).

Delerium vs EBTG vs KOT, Xtian Finally (Avicii s Sunshine Bootleg). Kings of Tomorrow Reach out For Harmony (Xtian Mash). Blood Groove & Kikis, Xtian, Marc Evans   Highlights: Give a fair go to the many Xtian Edits and mashups, they are fun and in some cases decent..I learned a valuable lesson for the next time I play Trance:A) Maximum length of set should be 1h30B) Unless the track is an ABSOLUTE ANTHEM  (and there are max 10 of these all around) no track should be more than 4/5 minutes, therefore only radio edits to be used in the future.C) Attention span of the punters is 2 minutes if nothing change ( levels etc...). I will be back with an original mix within a fortnight.. To our friends.. Thanks it was fab to see you having a good time!! Xtian

Trance-Mission Episode 02 … “As the Rush Comes” We left the Ambient realm, dropped and landed into Tranceland. With its highs and lows, builds and snare drums, synths and pads! I tried to put together a set, which pursue the trance flow. Do you remember the anticipation, the wait, the tingling, the heat, the chills, the sweats, the raised hair on the skin and the glow? Do you remember the RUSH?Four months of gestation and labour! Time to let this one be judged by the community. Though sloppy at times, I did the best I could..In spite of the rather chilled first tracks, "As the Rusch Come" has a definite Trance flavour. Beats per minute do not lie, we end up at 136 bpm, it is Trance! Or, how I was recently told, “Progressive Trance”.One word on the long hiatus between uploads: after a month of blissful downtime with the family in Europe, we faced a few tumultuous events once back in Oz. I neither had the time nor the inclination to listen or mix anything. Problems got sorted out and we are hopefully back to the pedestrian, uneventful rhythm I personally love.In many a ways, the break was timely. I was starting to do this just because “I had to”, which really negates the desire I have for a creative outlet.To Lars, I will answer your emails this week. You have my very public apology, I hope you understand.Back to “As The Rush Comes”: Trance can only be a journey, something with a beginning, ebb and flows, to culminate as  build-up to a massive “hands up in the air” closing track. This is my first real attempt throughout this Trance Mission, other will come. Playlist:  2010 See The Sun (Aurosonic Intro Remix). Matt Darey & Urban Astronauts feat.

Motorcycle  Highlights: Starting with Track 5, Mashup of “Sweet Harmony” with “Reach Out for Love” vocals.. I had the insane urge to fuse Trance and Soulful House, ensuring that I would insult both tribes.. I do like what I attempted but would love someone with real talent to pursue it to gives this idea the love and care it requires. I sent it to a well-respected friend of mine.. His reaction was priceless “Christian, have you ever heard of mastering?” Well, yes I have but wouldn’t even know where to start! I have posted a frist version on my soundcloud page, I will post the final version in the next few days “See the Sun” from Matt Darey, I had to start with some intro uplifting trance, great vocals, a tune bringing us old trance kids back decades.“Help Me Understand I’m not Alone”: in between Progressive House and Trance, feelgood track, so sweet on the ears, with a great synth layers. “The Nothing Song” from Chicane: for the initiated, Nick used the basic chords of Poppiholla and extended the melody, track chosen to get into the trance vibe. “Bliss” the Blood Groove & Kikis remix. A word on Blood Groove & Kikis, two remixers/producers from Riga, Latvia. They ended up featuring about 3 times in this set, underlining the fact that if you are looking for a current Progressive Trance sound, just go to their soundcould page (https://soundcloud.com/bloodgroove-kikis) and onto Beatport (http://www.beatport.com/artist/blood-groove-and-kikis/189678) to buy their tunes. I added the Jon Cutler/E-man sample in the spirit of the soulful trance fusion vibe I was trying to achieve. A bit gratuitious.. What follows is much better. Reach Out for Harmony Mash-up. The instrumental track “Sweet Harmony”  is from Blood Groove & Kikis.. It sounds like Kaskade, when Kaskade decides not to include the electro crap required to sell to the masses. The vocal of Marc Evans', soulful house God. “Choices” from E-Specro.. do not miss, perfect production! Deep and Progressive with a slight trance tinge.. One of my favourite. “Without You” another track from Blood Groove & Kikis, easy instrumental Trance track to use a bridge. Classic Trance structure. “Phantom” from Fehrplay. We are now squarely in Trance land.. I could dance to that! Include the very naughty Ed Weathers Love This Feeling sample.. But really Trance with naughtiness.. I do not think so.. “Falling in My Eyes”.. this is the good feeling, rush uplifting trance I used to absolutely adore with a 2014 production feel.. I am seeing sparkles with this one.. Turn Me On indeed!! “More” from Tess and Ad Brown.. Progressive Trance with a great vocalist.. The most well known three chords in the world.. and yet an original song.. A track like this alone is worth all the crap Trance I had to listen to.. LOVE IT.. And listen to the guitar and tell me where they sampled it from.. “What a Wonderful World” EDX take on the Ron Carroll/Bob Sinclair classic.. I actually reworked the whole set for months before finding the right 2 last tracks.. I am unsure of this one but I needed to jump 12 bpm over 8 minutes and 4 months of labour was enough.. As much as I am unsure of “What a Wonderful World” I know the Gabriel & Dresden remix of “As The Rush Comes” is the fitting track to send you home.. Peak time trance at its very, very best! Enjoy and please, please D A N C E !! I will work on a few additional higher bpm Trance episodes in the next few months.. The ultimate goal being to build the base of a Trance Journey I will play during spring..  In the meantime, I should either do a fun soulful one or something more to the deep or darker side.. A bientôt Xtian

Nammos’ Beach Funk Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Sade, Diana Ross, George Michael, Mary J Bilge, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé, Daft Punk, Kathy Brown, Michelle Weeks, Chaka Khan... Needless to say this is not a progressive set.. Funky and Disco summer beats on the menu.  As I seldom venture in that space, I am unsure as to the quality but the Greek sun called for it. Considering some of the crap I heard during our holidays, I cannot be worse than some. Continuing the Mykonos holiday vibe. Originally dropped whislt staying at the Semeli Hotel, set was edited as it was better suited with the feel of Nammos Beach, Psarou, Mykonos http://www.nammos.gr/Nammos Beach is an infinitely more stylish (and more expensive) alternative to all other offerings in Mykonos. A potentially cool place where, given the right crowd, the beat will slowly creep up and loungers/sitters become dancers, taking over the table tops. We spent a day at Nammos with the children. They could not quite get the vibe (and to be honest it wasn’t there) but the potential could be felt and deserved better than the endless re-runs of “Besame Mucho” remixes and old French 70’s/80’s standards (for the froggies out there I heard: Michel Fugain, Joe Dassin, Dalida..). My guess is one plays for what they think the audience wants... By the time it got semi-pumping, the kids were over it and so were we.Looking at the crowd, with the standard statuesque models who cannot move to save themselves, the plastic fantastic 50 (or was it 60 ?) y.o. striving to attract attention, glancing at the girl, who albeit not “perfect”, was just getting it and moving gracefully to the beat, I reflected on the ever-so-true egalitarian dimension of the dance floor.. People; it is not how you LOOK on the dance floor that counts, it is how you MOVE!From there it was a short hop to decide to drop my own little set, which I am pretty sure would have got the punters dancing.. Yes, one may have to drop 3/4 tunes the crowd knows but one can still try to be inventive, original and somewhat current.Therefore, instead of “Besame Mucho”, “The Girl from Ipanema”, "Copacabana" and French standards from the 70’s, I would have played this selection of funky tunes and would not have looked half as bored as the resident DJ… Playlist: 2014 Love Never Felt So Good (DJ Fudje Tribute Remix vs. Mark Di Meo & Tony Loreto Remix).

Cavo Paradiso, of course, never miss an opportunity to see the sunrise from Cavo, it is truly magical. And Scarpa, next to the Caprice Bar in Micro Venetia, where my wife and the staff of the Semeli took me. Great place, shame about the lilliputian dance floor.As for the Caprice bar... Enjoy the view but bring your ear plugs to avoid the worse sound pollution ever dispensed in Greece... A bientôt Xtian

Warning !!!!! Hiatus on the Trance Mission I embarked earlier as I found myself overseas without my external drive, having left home all the tunes I intended to use for that purpose. Until my return, I will follow the holiday vibe with whatever I have on my notebook or will buy and download. In Mykonos, Greece, at the Semeli Hotel, where I dropped a few sets to be uploaded in the next few days. Did this one on the night of our arrival, virtually trying to get a feel of the local vibe and doing what I could do with what I had in front of me.. Deep n’ Lounge..

On a Trance-Mission: Episode 01 (The Ambient Set) Off to a Journey into Trance..  and if I am not delusional the first port of call is a good one..Dust off the glow sticks, the furry boots, the neon T-shirts, the lycra leggings, the kandi, the beads necklaces, the multi pocket flarry pants, the lasers and get ready for minor keys!In the next few weeks, across several uploads, I will attempt to take you back to those memorable days with (mostly) current productions. I am attempting to find a modern. adult, progressive Trance vibe..I have been burning with the desire to build one of those journeys for a while. It is a slow process and I usually give up! This time, in the next 4 uploads, I have set  myself the challenge to take you there..I usually stop midway either for lack of good current material or because once the higher bpm region (130 to 140 bpm) are reached, I find that frenzy aspect of Trance possibly too hard to stomach or probably just not something I would know when and how to appreciate.Yet, as far as EDM is concerned, Trance was my first love and nothing, NOTHING can replace the memories of a great Trance journey. So here we are... at the onset of the Journey! Episode One: The Ambient SetWe will be crossing over from Progressive to Ambient, Down-Tempo, Deep, Trance, even some classical and opera.  One common thread to the set: all tracks have a balearic vibe..Starting very tame but those with keen ears and kindred spirit will regognize that, without a shred of doubt, we are on a trance journey! It will pick up in the next sets! If you do not dig Trance, this episode will be bearable but as we progress you may want to zone out for a little bit. I will slot a soulful one somewhere to keep you interested ! The only rule I gave myself for this project was to restrict the number of old Trance classics to only 2 per set, to mix them 100% live to have a real journey feel, and finally to allow myself as many edits as I wanted in order to keep my interest fresh until this project is finished. Playlist:   Intro Warp Journey Intro (Space Chor Mix). Alexander Metzger 2014 Believe in You (Original Mix) [Xtian Otraz Vez Edit] . Magic Surfer 2002 Saltwater (Thrillseekers Ambient Mix). Chicane feat. Moya Brennan 2014 Mystic Beach Bridge [Xtian Original Come With Me Re-Edit].

Chicane 2014 Beat Organ (Original Mix) [Xtian God is a DJ Edit]. 16 Bit Lolitas 2014 Track to Infinity (Philip Aniskin Mix). DJ Sveta feat. Alexsandra Mell   Highlights:Another VERY European set! There are great things coming from the States but they tend to  have a bit of mechanical electro for the radio plays.. pity..(jump direct to "Coeur de la Nuit" at 00:38:19 if you want to hear something VERY special..) The all important first track: “Believe in You” from Magic Surfer. Loving it so much I actually doubled it throughout the set.. I obviously did not realize it at the time and being live it is too late now to take it off. The artist name is Anton from Lipetsk, Russia. I could listen to the production, the vocals, the vibe all day long.. “The Velorian Can’t Stop” I am VERY VERY VERY happy of this mash-up.. Luck or talent, most probably the former, but it works! The original track is called “The Velorian” from the same Magic Surfer as the intro track. Definitively, someone to follow, here is the link to his SoundCloud page (https://soundcloud.com/magic-surfer-music). (Track starts at 00:12:00 Mash-Upstarts at 00:12:33) “Still Here” from Envotion, a Dutch trio. Production without compromise, a perfect male vocalist from their progressive sound. A very pleasing and driving track. "Tusindfryd" .. If it were not for the next track “Coeur de la Nuit” this would be the track of the set.. I love the very subtle guitar and back percussions. I love the ethereal vocals. The well dropped synths. The classical build, which reminds me of J.S. Bach, the flute... I love everything. It is up there with the best of Chicane... I even think my edit is OK!From the great Dane Morten Granau. Morten , who started in Trance and progressed to Psy-Trance. To paraphrase his Beatport profile, he eventually matured to the joy of adult sounds with Progressive Trance.. His production is intricate, melodic, deep and fully deserves the label of Classic Progressive Trance.(http://www.beatport.com/artist/morten-granau/100602),In fact if my current project steers to anything, it is to find that modern but adult progressive Trance sound.. And now for the piece de resistance… GREAT TUNE ALERT !! “Coeur de la Nuit” from Ferdinand Dreyssig & Marvin Hey.. Once a year do I discover something I rate this highly.. Church Choral music all under a TRIBAL and Trance vibe.. Now, that is interesting!! And very much the sort of track, which drew me to Trance when I became interested in EDM! (Track starts at 00:38:27)Duo from Berlin, started in Hip-Hop, I cannot wait to discover what else they have produced.Given the church dimension of the track, my absolute love of Choral music, I tried to edit it like a canon, mashing two different remixes starting at 8 and 4 measures apart and shifting the key to a third and a fifth to create new harmonies.. To sum it up I had fun. Result is so, so but if you miss it, you are missing a great piece of original music!  “Darling” from Simone Vitullo an innovative modern producer from Italy, check the percussions and the bassline. Would love to have the stems of those! Very soft and classical composition. And one of those voices I could listen to all day.. “Fugaz” from Th Moy.  A great Catalan remixer with a tune I would describe with the following words: smooth purity, depth and grace. Xtian just had to add the ad-lib to what was a perfect tune.. Just can’t help it.. Another track build J.S.  Bach's fugue like with contrapuntal  themes, shifting keys ever so slowly throughout the track and in the back.. a great classical vocalist, not in your face, just when and where the track needs her.. Brilliant! the last time I checked the set I counted 7 different percussions in the track.. Respect! “Egoiste” from Sebastian Weikum & The Vehicle. Polish, supported by AVB, A&B and PVD :0! Mixing Trance and Progressive, on point for the vibe I am aiming for. I sang along to that one and hope you will as well. Same classical vibe as Fugaz.. “Beat Organ” from the Dutch duo 16 Bit Lolitas. I have been using a lot of their music lately.. Very talented! Five chords that's all it took them to write a great tune! I so could dance to a track like that.. My type of groove for the ones who know what gets me going.. Finally to close the set, “Track to Infinity” from DJ Sveta feat. Alexsandra Mell. Do NOT miss!Currently the best female DJ in Russia, where, incidentally, a lot of good Progressive Trance is coming from. Classic trance build but very subtle production avoiding the traps of the genre and consequently serving what Trance can uniquely give: Transcendence.Loving this one.. Female Trance/Prog such as the Swiss Tatjana, Sveta and to a certain extend Maya Janes Coles are my favourites.. I am not mentioning the Chicane tracks, you know them well. They are only included as a tribute to the genre and to Nick Bracegirdle and to make sure that some older listeners make the effort to stream the whole set and rcognize something. I hope you enjoy this episode! By the length of the blog part, you can guess I am pretty taken with it.. I spent a lot of time in post-production, making sure there was anything obvious which could be corrected. One of the very few uploadds I know I will listen to with pleasure again. You are even getting a 320 kps of this one.. Sorry for the size but those tracks are simply too good to be compressed to the max.. The next one is almost ready. Slowly but surely the tempo is going up.. A bientôt Xtian P.S.: The ratio of good tunes to bad tunes in Trance is about 1 to 100! I am not exaggerating. Please bear a thought for what I have had to endure.. Hence the fact that I will finish this project for it will take a monstruous effort before I muster the courage to go through this hell again!

En Mai fais ce qu'il te plaît! (2014 Edition) French Proverb which literally means " In May do what pleases you"..  Every year, on my birthday, I put something together .. for myself..It does not infer that this set is in anyway better or that the tunes are "special" just that I know I will want to enjoy it later on day most probably in hotel room or on the plane or god forbid maybe walking or running somewhere..Set may not be as polished as other uploads or may contain tracks I have used before. I may just have wanted to hear different cuts or indulge in some gratuitous Xtian’s trademarks vocal edits, who knows? It is first and foremost for ME !!I won’t wax lyrical on it, I have dozen of similar sets that will never see the light of day. Sometimes because they are simply not good enough or because I got bored along the line (“God is a DJ” springs to mind). This one, because I played with it around my birthday, gets to be published.A deep, indie, progressive offer, very much the sound I feel comfortable with currently.One last word on my birthday.. Best present ever was to see my kids, niece and nephew dance crazy to the Fade/Your’ve Got the Love edits of my last live set.. For 3 to 11 years old to have a dance to tunes like that just proves that if you do not give them crap, they enjoy good music all the same.. Playlist:   2013 Come On Now Set It Off (Original Mix).

Jon Cutler   Highlights: I won’t go overboard with this section. One common thread is the immaculate production of ALL the tracks. If you do not have a good sound system, this set requires good headphones.. Love the first track “Come On Now Set if Off”.. It has swag very much what Tube & Berger are all about.The Giom jam “Red Light” is probably the best track of the lot.I love “Canto del Pilon” and can’t wait to see the reaction of my kids to this one.. I very rarely touch Latin rhythms. I hope they will get it.“It Really Hurts” needs a mention for the subtlety of the production and the very distinct Dido feel to it.Pre-emptive apologies for the “Mirage” mash-up. I am sure someone with talent could do better but it is my birthday after all..“Big Fun”, Kevin Saunderson, Inner City .. House royalty.. and if any Dl is reading this.. it begs to be mixed n with Touch me in the morning.. I did not do because it would have taken the set to another direction but it will work, trust me.. That’s it. Not quite sure what will come next. Sexy house or a progression towards Trance. Enjoy A bientôt Xtian

Picking up from where we left off..After a very tame and somewhat bland FK set, I dropped a selection of funky house classics to get a few feet moving. The carefull scripted algorhytm was thrown out the window, I started soulful and strangely ended up in Tranceland.. the odd thing is.. It worked !!!Someone I have a lot of respect for, Richard Vasquez (here on podomatic http://richardvasquez.podomatic.com) commented on the previous FK set and depicted it as cerebral.. A fitting description of what I can do.. What you are about to listen to is anything but.. It is .. primal! Although I had everything all set up, I had to deviate from the script and it ended messy...This is an extract of the peaktime moments, the last 80 minutes. Proceedings got a tad messier as the night went on with the energy levels picking up. Far from being perfect and with some terrible quality files, what you are about to hear hopefully translates the vibe I was getting from the decks..As my friends well know, I am definitively not a 'live" person but the feedback I was getting from them for an hour made this possible... It is repetitive (I looped and relooped, mashed and remashed) "cheap" but somehow in the heat of the moment I even got in the Frankie tune I had left out from the tribute set. I am not even sure my friends picked up on it, all I know is that they did have "their hands up in the air"..To sum it up " We had FUN".. Playlist:... is at best approximate. I am not quite sure what I dropped and when but the credits are correct. 1999 Big Love (Peter Heller’s Big Love) [Xtian Edit]. Peter Heller 2001 Guitara G (G Club Original Mix) [Xtian 4zeLove Edit].

Had totally forgotten that one..I will be back soon but I have no idea which direction I will fall onto.P.S: I guess I have to mention the "Salsa Incident"... My only comment... As white men can't dance nor dunk, gay men can't throw..  Xtian P.P.S.: to all our friends who were with us last Saturday.. Thank You!

Rest Easy Mr Knuckles, You brought us so much Joy... I was overseas when I heard the news of Frankie Knuckles passing. Once the initial moment of sadness passed on, I immediately thought that the best way to celebrate his legacy was to plan an old style “House” party with all our close friends, whom Frankie K had entertained and with some of whom he had spend some friendly nights here and in Greece. Reading the hundreds of comments in the blogosphere only reinforced the feeling that Frankie Knuckles was such a gentleman, such a provider of Joy that only a party would be a fitting tribute. Since then literally thousands of FK’s tribute sets have been dropped. Some by immense DJs like David Morales, Dimitri and the likes. Obviously I was not going to compete neither with the talent nor the intentions of those guys. Here is the live set I played on Saturday the 3rd of May. Direct from the mixer. It did not quite work as I had planned. The set may have come a little bit too early in the night when everyone was readier to schmooze, mingle and drink than dance.. which really did not matter as it was all about celebrations. My selection was based solely on “happy tunes”, trying to showcase as much of a current Frankie as I could and not repeat the amazing but very obvious tribute sets, which one can find all over the net. I went to the trouble of buying from Japan the “ A New Reality” CD, which I had lost in one of our many previous moves just to get the introductory sample with Frankie’s voice and be able to drop the two last tracks, which may be my favourite Knuckles. Thereafter, we went into a less soulful and more Funky/Trance mood, with a set, which ending extract I will upload later on this week, got a few people going… Playlist: 2004 Intro Frankie Knuckles from a New Reality " What's Going On Frankie?". 1995 Rock With You.

Nikki Richards 2004 Matter of Time (Album Mix).  Frankie Knuckles feat. Nikki Richards  Highlights:Once again, this is not a definitive FK tribute but just the Frankie I personally love.. I did cover a few FK's tunes in the set I played therafter, which live extract I will upload shortly.I would have loved to have received more energy when I played this but peaktime came later and that's perfectly OK.. The joy for me was to listen to Frankie Knuckles at a great volume level and drop live a selection which I felt was original, mixing old and current tunes and hopefully sharing the love I have for the Maestro of House..I will shortly upload what followed, which was a far messier affair.EnjoyXtian 

Introspection 3.0(Happy Easter ! ! )Dim the light, grab a book and prepare to chill. Also suitable for work, children, pets, lovers etc… Third and last iteration of the Introspection series. Not only because it may be time to stop looking at my navel and change vibe but also because I think this set wraps it up nicely. Deep, Progressive, Indie House with a distinct lounge and ambient feel. I should have called it “Xtian goes Chill” for it is very rare for me to stay between 120/122 bpm. Except for some dubious mixing towards the end, I am overall satisfied to have kept one single vibe, atmosphere and direction from the first to the last track. I was chatting on FB with a friend of mine, who very eloquently described our sounds as “pop with a deep house feel and beat”.. Well, Tim, let’s hope it sticks. Not quite sure where I will go next. I am still longing for a blast in the past to vocal Trance but need to make sure I have enough decent current tracks before I invest time into it. In the recent past every time I tried, I wasted hours only to leave the set unfinished. If not, we will tend to a Frankie Knuckles and Soulful House Live set, which I am preparing for a party in May. If any good, I will definitively post it. We shall see!  Playlist:   2012 Unobtainable Intro (German Mix).  World of Intros 2013 Savanna (Jelly for the Babies Remix) [Xtian Taki Edit]. Jericho Ismael 2014 Your Softness (Original Mix). Third Chapter 2013 Open My (Ben Remember Remix). Jam Xpress feat. Charlie (AUS) 2014 Lovebreak (Indeed Remix). Tube & Berger feat. Milan Euringer 2014 Be Mine (Original Mix Edit). Lane 8 2014 UR My Sunshine (Original Mix). Betoko 2013 The Place I Know (Original Mix). Andrea Fissore 2014 You Said (Original Mix). Nightriders 2013 In my Stride (Original Mix). Soul Button feat Stee Downes 2013 Silk Frames (Original Mix). Sons of Maria 2014 Turn Around (Original mix). LeisureGroove 2013 The Time Has Come (Original Mix). DAVI 2013 Lead Me Home (Original Mix). Dan Caster 2014 Rock The Night. U-Ness &  JedSet   Highlights: “Savanna” from Jericho Ismael Jelly for the babies on remix duties. Another European act from Zagreb (Croatia). Track gave the perfect setting for the chill ambient atmosphere I wanted to create. A bit of dubious mixing later, “Your Softness” from Third Chapter. Big bass, clever synth and a male voice I like.. “Open my Eyes” from Jam Xpress feat Charlie (AUS). Local talent from Melbourne (Andy Murphy is in the back of all that).. Great track, exactly what my current vibe is.. Production is impeccable! “Lovebreak” from Tube & Berger, track I had been told about by lars, which I actually had already on my HD.. Try Indie, Progressive, Deep with a dash of funk.. Not bad and all in one.. Former Beatport number 1 with a charity album.. “Be Mine” from Lane 8, haunting track I may have used recently ( did not feel like checking), felt right to drop, listen to the build up, the production.. Big BIG bass line again.. from America part of the Anjuna Deep crew.. Betoko “UR my Sunshine”…  Betoko would be in my current top five creators.. Beto Cohen is originally Mexican, living in the UK. I would hate to put a genre on his talent.. It is just great, amazing music.. The Chicane of this decade.. “The Place I Know” from Andréa Fissore. Possibly my favourite track of the set.. I had my children dancing to this very Balearic modern track. Listen to that guitar and try telling me you are not on the Mediterranean. Andrea is Italian living in Vienna.. Latin flair and Viennese sense of perfection.. Can’t be much better. “You Said” from the Nightriders. A pearl amongst pearls. DO NOT MISS THIS GEM! I can’t find who the vocalist is but her voice is one of the purest I have heard lately. Talking about voices, when I first recorded the set and dropped it on a CD, I had my wife and kids “proofing” it, which is something I do when I actually really like the set, just to make sure I am not just .. spinning. After “You Said” I had a cookie strange indie number called “Makes Ends Meet” from Lancelot.. The reaction was unanimous, awful, not tolerable, what is that sh..!! I had noticed that the lead singer vocalist was off key but I thought it would give the set a bit of edgy spice.. Well producers, artists out there, be warned.. Mums and kids alike do notice when you haven’t done your job.. I had to super-imposed (very sloppy post set mixing sorry but could not be helped..) “In My Stride” from Soul Button with Stee Downes on vocals.. I first heard the track on a C&M TrueHouse set (check www.truehouse.net), had bought it but somehow left it untouched.. Immense track, which I feel bad to have buried in the middle of a set but it really could not be helped. Check it it will be an anthem.. From Germany everything they have released has been magical, delicate and perfectly produced.. So much work has been put there, please give it go! “Silk & Frames” by Sons of Maria. Same as Soul Button, every little inpyt is well thought, the beats are original.. Again from Croatia.. G sisters if you are reading, you have a lot of home-grown talent!! “Turn Around”.. such an easy drop considering my current vibe of big bass line, big synths tracks. From LeisureGroove who started as a garage act in the UK.. Well if this is garage I am all for it.. But the bass line and filtered drop in the back are indeed unmistakably Garage.. “Time Has Come” from DAVI, helping me to bring the set home. I love the little journey, ailed as “LA's best kept secret”, David “DAVI” Khanjian grew up surrounded by the sounds of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin.  Part of the 16 bits Lolitas, let’s follow him.. Clever music.. Penultimate track “Lead Me Home”… The title made the drop but the little guitar is the real reason for my love of it.. I feel he is European but could not find much about him.. Very elaborate production and a fitting end to what I believe is a good set once of a few bumps are forgotten. Last but not least “Rock the Night” from my very talented Belgian friend “U-Ness & JedSet”..  Balearic Deep house, soft as silk, there to ensure you have sweet dreams. U-Ness & JedSet are putting the finishing touches to their Ibiza 2014 Compilation to be released on the 7th of July.. Put this one in your calendar, there is REALLY no other compilation to buy except theirs.. Not quite sure what will come next.. Working on a FK personal project, a soulful dancing set for a party but quite possibly I will continue on Podomatic my current vibe albeit picking up the tempo. A bientôt Xtian

Introspection 2.0 Same spirit as the first iteration. Deep, slightly down tempoIndie and dark progressive House driven by big bass lines and (I hope ) original eclectic melodies. Except for the Lana track which I picked up from Introspection 1.0, the set has a clear continental European feel. The artists and remixers are mostly from Northern Europe. The production is distinctively Nordic or German. I used no Latin flair nor samples and tried to concentrate on the mixing only. Official thanks to Lars, who sent me some German tunes. Not only do I love them but it has opened a new direction for seeking new sounds. Lars, I am very grateful. A word on the passing of Frankie Knuckles: In the near future I will (how could I not?) fittingly mark the occasion with hopefully a live set at home with friends. Should the result be good enough I will upload the set.Reading the posts from the average punter like me and from DJs  he influenced or supported during his career, the common thread was on how much joy and what a nice gentle man he was. Whatever I’ll do, shall reflect the joy and gentleness. I do not want it to be a sad tribute, hence the wait.. Playlist:  2013 Summertime Sadness (MK Feel It In The Air Remix vs MK Lee Foss Cold Blooded Remix) [Xtian Shorten’ Edit]. Lana Del Rey 2013 Be Good (Original Mix). Andrey Exx  feat. Fomichev 2013 Be Good to Me (Me  My Toothbrush Remix). Croatia Squad 2014 Feel Good (Moe Turk Remix). Ran Salman and Ordonez feat. Shlomi B 2014 Never You Mind (Original Mix). KANT 2013 Mirage (Day Mix). Vanilla Ace 2013 Barfuss Auf Wolken (Club Mix). KlangKuenstler 2012 In The Night (Hot Since 82 Remix).

Nolan 2014 Everybody Wants Something (Kolombo Back To Bassix Mix). Akabu  feat. Alex Mills 2012 Rule The World (Maya Jane Coles Remix. Rashid Ajami 2012 Wir Sind Frei (Original Version). The Peacemaker Project   Highlights:Started where I left it with “Summertime Sadness” which turns out to be one of the weakest tracks of the set. A bit lazy of me..Begining  the big bass line theme with Andrey Exx's great remix of the classic “ Be Good”. Whoever is the vocalist is amazing and I love the atmosphere the production has achieved.Continuing with the male vocalist of the same classic, this was a fluke but a happy one. “Be Good to Me” by Croatia Squad. Listen from the break at 15:36 and be in bliss with the disco keys they have introduced in what was a rather dark and progressive rendition.With the nest track “Feel Good” the set is at cruising spend. The Moe Turk Remix of the Ran Salman and Ordonez track is just top shelf progressive indie house.“Never You Mind” by Kant..  I LOVE anything Kant is currently producing.. From Denmark, those gys are subtle, inspired.. Released in 2014, this is going straight into my top ten.. Do not miss!! In case you did not get the heavy hint DO NOT MISS!! And maybe, just maybe buy the track on Beatport..“Mirage” by Vanilla Ace. From London, very talented, remixers of Basement Jaxx and Nora en Pure. “Mirage” is again key and bass driven with a voice sample ( did not even had to had it).. I t is so easy to listen to and yet so intricate. Deep, Progressive or Chill you choose.“Barfuss auf Wolken” from KlangKueunstler .. which translates (I think) as “Walking Barefoot on the Cloud”.. My niece recognized the sample from somewhere, I didn’t.. Thank you Lars. Indie German track, with great guitar, showing how fusion should be done.. Happy tune!“Come with Me” sexy deep house based again on a big bass line, perfect percussions and synths pas in what is for me the perfect key for deep house (Gm). Hot since 82 serving up the remix. Sexy track .. “Come with Me, Close your eyes and kisssss me …”The Kant remix of “Everyday Everynight” if ever there was a track which dropped naturally, this was the one.. It is everything I attempted to make you feel here.. And again the Danes are showing how music can be clever and fully enjoyable.. If this is Indie.. well, I love Indie.. Amber Jolene with Nolan on the vocals..“Everybody Wants Something”.. you know the track, Akabu is really smashing it recently and this remix is both a bit challenging and immensely sexy! ATTENTION TOP TRACK !!.. The Maja Jane Coles remix of “Rule the World”.. If the Doors where performing today this would be what they would sound like.. Driving, melodic and the dimension  Maya Jane Coles has given the track is unmistakable. Love it!! As for Maya Janes Coles, she is firmly in my top ten current DJ and actually one of the very few, for whom I would move mountains to see and hear. Great talent! “Wir Sind Frei” from the Peacemaker Project.. It is a collective of artists.. from Germany mainly.. here is their website http://www.thepeacemakerproject.com and their SoundCloud page https://soundcloud.com/thepeacemakerprojectSame as KANT I love everything they do, they are bringing brains, style and elegance to House and are NEVER boring, always having a melodic dimension to anything they do.This is the current tip of the creation in House music.. and I am quite happy to say, it is in Europe…The track is good and I did not feel like “mixing it in” for the sake of it.. I knew I wanted it to end to give the Peacemaker Project a bit of exposure. Hope you like Introspection 2.0. I will be back next week. A bientôt. Xtian

Introspection 1.0 Looking inwards for a few sets as in order to progress, one has to allow time for Introspection. The Menu: from the somewhat darker, Indie and Nu-Disco side of Progressive House. Do not be alarmed with the first track, just play along even if you think like my eleven year old son that old rockers are not your cup of tea.. The rest is a very solid, clever and original upload. Let yourselves go with this one, reward beckons! Two acknowledgments: Richard Vasquez aka Doctor Love (check his podcast here) because under his influence I am trying to be more eclectic and less mechanical in my mixing. Lars who is driving my slow shift to progressive and trance and is introducing me to German Progressive house. Thanks guys, genuinely grateful. I hope you give this Introspection series a fair listen. In the next few sets, you will discover new tunes, new sounds and you will be listening to some very clever music. It will not be boring! At worst, it will be mildly challenging but extremely rewarding.. Since I preventively gave ourselves 3 hours of soulful vocal happy pills before this Series we really should not experience any severe withdrawal symptoms for a few weeks. Now dim the lights and relax.. Playlist:  1978 Private Investigations (Remastered Live Version). Dire Straits 2012 Love Lives In the Dark (Ralph Myerz and Olivier Rohrbach 5am Eternal Mix). Vanessa Daou 2013 But Maybe (Rampue Remix) [Xtian Edit]. Oliver Schories 2014 Julia (Original Mix) [Xtian Elements Edit feat. Danny Tenaglia]. F3 2013 Left Your Love (Original Mix) [Xtian More Elements Edit feat. Danny Tenaglia]. Climbers feat Yasmine Azaiez 2013 Hold You (Original Mix). KANT 2014 On The Inside (Tosel  Hale Remix). Motif 2014 Good News (Original Mix). Thomas Langner 2013 Too Late (Alternative Version). Gui Boratto 2014 Deep Inside (Original Mix) [The House is Xtian Edit feat. Papa Je Aviance] . Ben Delay 2014 Falling (Original Mix). Nikolas Noam feat. Anaid 2013 Let The Music (ReDeep Mix 2013). Simone Vitullo & Redondo feat. Lady Vale 2013 Summertime Sadness (Asadinho Main Vocal Mix). Lana Del Rey  Highlights: Starting with the remastered live version of “Private Investigations” from famed rock band Dire Straits.. Not sure what gave me the idea and the urge except maybe hearing on Richard Vasquez’s podcast drops one would not expect in a house set. But I can feel the intimate connection between progressive rock and progressive house.. Furthermore knowing that this was recorded live in front of an audience of 110,000 blows my mind.  The respect I have for artists who can not only write, sing but also perform at that level is limitless. So I hope you will enjoy it and if like my 11 year old you have a problem with “the cheesy sax” it is Ok there are a lot of very good tunes to come in the set.. Vanessa Daou’s “Loves Lives in the Dark”. The track prefigures what I hope the set will be. Great production, big BIG driving bassline and interesting left field vocals. “But Maybe” from the great Hamburg based German progressive house producer Oliver Schories. Instrumental cut, with great pads nice breaks.. I am telling you the German Progressive House scene is where interesting things are happening.. “Julia” all about the atmosphere and a massive bassline.. If you can listen to it on a good system or headphones the better.. I love those melodic journey tracks. I “had’ to add some vocal samples. As most of you now well know, Xtian would have trouble going through 30 minutes without any vocals..  And yes I did go a little bit heavy on the sample but I was in MY journey and it felt gooood! “Left Your Love” by Climbers.. By now it was time to inject a little melodic sugar in the set.. and What a track.. The vocalist, Yasmine Azaeiz, has the perfect range and phrasing for progressive and trance..  At 51:18 keys are starting and you just know that we are oh so so close of those great vocal trance tunes of the 90’s .. You will be sing along “ à la première écoute”.. Give me 10 similar tracks with a few higher BPM ones and I return to trance in a heartbeat.. KANT Danish producer of Progressive/Indie), I have used “Hold You” before, I absolute adore this track. It is built and structured like classical music, a very simple vocal hook but perfectly pitched ( who says Xtian does not do male vocalist?). It is clever, it is happy.. Love it! “On The Inside” from Motif, apart from the very sloppy mixing (too late to correct), this fits so well in the general mood of the set. Again heavy bass, simple vocal hook, discrete percussions yet so intricate.. This could ONLY be produced in Europe.. “Good News” by Thomas Langner from Cracow Poland (check his soundcloud), I love the filtered bass, those very subtle guitar.. If you do not feel the connection between Progressive House and Progressive Rock there , you need to re-listen to you classics.. I have covered Gui Boratto ‘s “Too Late” before therefore will not say much but for my absolute admiration for unknown vocalist. Very sexy voice! As for the guitar in the background.. Yeah! Ben Delay’s” Deep Inside” love everything the production, the dirty filtered bass, a 2014 track which is already in my top ten.. “Falling” from Nikolas Noam . Call it Progressive House, call it down tempo Trance, Trouse..  who cares? but please find a good reason to spend 6 minutes with it.. I guarantee you will feel better for it.. I particular love the looping key pads in the back, just lovely.. “Let The Music” back to VERY clever sugar with trance sounding vocalist.. Again so so close to Trance heaven.. Just push the bass and let your self be driven, seriously.. headphones on, high volume I dare you not to throw your hands in the air and dance..  Yes “Let the Music…”. “Summertime Sadness” I am going through a bit of a Lana del Rey obsession..  But everyone will have to admit that this remix is fab.. Talk about dirty, dirty filtered bassline..  Lana’s voice so close to have the same effect on me than Nadia Ali’s.. So close.. It will pass but in the meantime Lana will pop in and out of this podcast often. I hope you give this podcast a fair listen, it will grow on you, it will. Back with Introspection 2.0 very soon… This one will come to yu from Hong Kong.. A très bientôt Xtian

More Happy Pills....Follow up of previous Happy Pill.Proviso: Been sitting on this Intro for a while, thought it fitted the Happy Pill Theme.. By no means am I NOT taking mental health as a serious issue. It simply is! Directly or indirectly, we all have had some experience of how tragic, debilitating or simply sad, mental health issues are. This being clarified, we still can have a little smile about it.  Except for the intro (it’s been a long time I have used a little intro sample due to wife’s constant disapproval J), this set is a direct cut from a set I play a fortnight ago for a few friends on our deck.Another dose of Soulful, happy house tunes to wrap up the Australian summer. I handpicked the tunes, most of them are very current and my favourites producers are there.It also marks the time where I have to distance myself from Soulful House and revisit a more progressive, darker, more challenging musical landscape. I should re-upload next week, therefore stay tuned. Playlist: Intro MH Hotline 2014 The Truth (Original). U-Ness, Jed Sed & Samson Lewis 2013 Everybody Wants Something (Joey Negro Strip Mix). Akabu feat. Alex Mills 2013 Wake Up (Original mix). Mike Scot & Jazzy D feat. Miss Bunty 2013 Fine China (Shane D Remix). Chris Brown Shane D CDR 2014 Running To Love (Richard Earnshaw Remix). Steven Stone feat. Andrea Love 2014 La La La (OtherSoul HouseCafe Mix). Naughty Boy feat Sam Smith (OtherSoul CDR) 2014 Caribbean Queen (Shane D Remix). Fabrizio Rosset & Manyus 2014 Troubled Waters (Director's Cut Gag-a-thon Remix). Sybil 2013 More Love (Mike Dunn BlackBall Soul Mix. Maurice Joshua feat. Andrea Love 2014 Alone In A Crowded Room (Original Mix). Phlash 2011 You Know How to Love Me (Richard Earnshaw Remix). Groove Junkies feat. Indeya 2013 If You Take My Love (Booker T Vocal Mix). Kings Of Soul 2011 Sing It Back (Michael Kaye Club). Reunited   Highlights: This section will not be as exhaustive as usual but please do pay special attention to the following tunes. “Truth” from my current favourite House Producers and Label U-Ness, Jed Set on Soulheat records.. Their Miami 2014 sampler compilation is out, run on Traxsource and buy it. Joey Negro’s Everybody Wantts Something.. Classic Joey’s Happy tune, easy listening. Two tunes featuring the immensely talented vocalist Andrea Love.. “Running to Love”, which if it weren’t for my connection to U-Ness would have headlined the set and “More Love”. Richard Earnshaw, Maurice Joshua, Mike Dunn and Steven Stone: make no mistake, this is current Soulful House royalty!!! OtherSoul’s Little Bootleg « La La La ».. When I played it, I noticed an eleven year old girl grooving to it, realizing that I may not have known the tune but she certainly did. I have been using a lot of OtherSoul’s Soundcloud remixes lately. Two talented producers from Spain, check them out. The Shane D remix of “Caribbean Queen”.  Notwithstanding the initial reaction of people close to me, of the “oh come on, not this” sort, I can share one thing with you: they were ALL humming it… As for “Sing It Back”.. well it is… “Sing It back” and for the purpose of More Happy Pills. I will never grow tired of it.. Also it was a throwback of my NYD set (still struggling to decide whether worth the upload), which ended with a mega Xtian Edit of this very tune.. Hope you got the full dose of More Happy Pill, for the next one will be less sweet... Enjoy, à très bientôt! Xtian

Happy Pill I actually have a few more installments of the "Deep in China" session and the NYD set to upload and yet ended up publishing this little nugget.Two factors: on the one hand felt like something a bit lighter & happier as I was starting to accumulate new 2014 tunes on my HD and on the other (my fellow podcasters will understand) once a set is recorded and sits there for a few weeks, it needs to be pretty good to actually be dug up for publishing.. most of the times they stay on the drive because we (hope) the next one will be better. Happy Pill.... A very vocal house set with happy tunes to bring a smile to our faces. I have lately been watching the news and I cannot say that the reports from the Ukraine, Syria and Venezuela are particularly cheerful.. Happy Pill time then..Tunes from 2014 or late 2013 with some oldies mixed in-between. Playlist:  2013 Luv 4 You. Scott Diaz 2013 I Like 2 Party. Samir Maslo Vs. Oliver Cheatham 2013 Beautiful (Original mix). Hakan Kabil feat. Majuri 2013 Need You Tonight (Scott Wozniak Bootleg Remix). INXS 2013 Dreams (Director's Cut Classic Mix). Vintage Lounge Orchestra 2013 The Otherside (Original Mix). Carl Hanaghan feat. Roz Brown 2014 The Madness of Last Night Serenity (Original Mix) [Xtian Mash-Up] Lars Behrenroth feat. Marc Evans 2014 If We Only Had Tonight (Original Mix vs Carl Hanaghan Discopolis Remix). Husky 2013 Tonight (Earnshaw's Deep & Modified Mix). Mike Scott, and Richard Earnshaw, feat. Chappell 2013 Boy Is Mine (OtherSoul Classic Mix).Brandy & Monica 2013 Everybody Loves (Monte Remix.)  Phil & Dan 2001 Loving You (Vincenzo's Remix). Smurf & Perry feat. Concha Buika 2014 Something About the Rain [Xtian Lil’ Edit]. Noa feat Adele 2012 Settle Down (Scott Wozniak Remix). Kimbra  Highlights: First track “Luv 4 You” from the king of Jackin’ House Scott Diaz.. Tune sets the mood.. If you do not like it, do not progress, your sad mood might lighten up, do not risk it.. Impeccable production. “I Like 2 Party” from Samir Maslo and Oliver Cheathman..  It has that Disco atmosphere which comes from the rich production, the echoed vocal sample and is written in a key F#m which I think is perfect for House Music... Just lovely. “Beautiful” from Hakan Kabil, multi-layered tune which might confront some, though I think it ticks all the right boxes and Majuri is a great vocalist.. Not a simple track at all..  “Need You Tonight”. With the biopic of INXS being currently shown on Australian TV, I thought it would be fun to use this immense remix from Scott Wozniak. It shows his immense talent as a remix/producer. The man can touch anything and enrich it.. Scott just crowd-sourced his first artist album, I simply cannot wait! Another new take of an old classic, “Dreams” from Fleetwood Mac by no other than Frankie Knuckles and Eric Kupper.. I have always, will always love FK’s production. Rich, wide, smooth I am running out of  adjectives.. And if you want to feel the FK’s touch just scroll to 20:39:00 and bang one second after  that bass you hear coming, this IS FK signature right there.. I heard it too many times live not to recognize it, it just pumps precisely when the tune needs it.. Without it the track would be perfect but lacking soul, lacking a heart beat.. The Bass line is the pulse. Enjoy! "The OtherSide".. well it is a bridge track. I needed to change key and keep the wide production theme going, set being recorded live .. key and beat matched, it was enough for me.. Well… you got a House Diva. First time I notice Roz Brown as a vocalist.. She can sing! My mash-up of Lars Behrenroth’s ( of Deeper Shades of House fame) “Madness Last Night”.. Many reasons to be happy there.. Lars is one of the reason I do this because I remember listening to his sets 10 years ago and thinking I should try to do this.. Not that I am in any way comparing my crap with his immense talent but he is one of my inspirations.. Furthermore nothing makes me more happy than to buy tunes from people I respect and have connected with through Facebook and the likes. Finally I am actually pretty “stoked” to use the term being thrown around by all the Australian Olympians with what I did.. Great track from Lars and half decent mash-up from Xtian.. “If We Only Had Tonight” from Husky… immense Australian talent ( why does he NEVER come to Melbourne??).. Epitome of the happy tune and you are getting double dose because I ripped twice the Discopolis Remix in Traktor and saved it in extremis by the skin of my teeth with the OM.. Set is live.. would be have been in the bin.. I love everything, the production, the build in the synth, the filters, Carl Hanaghan doing a dirty sick job on the remix.. Have fun and smile.. “Tonight” Earnshaw and Mike Scott.. need I say more… oh yes.. Chappell , yes indeed there is “something special tonight”.. Not sure it counts as a happy songs per se.. but it made ME happy dropping it.. Rich production again and if you want to hear what I mean by the Frankie K’s bass pulse scroll to 48.59 and wait for the bass heartbeat coming a second after… Earnshaw showing he can do it just as well.. Another sugar Happy Pill with “Boy is Mine” from OtherSoul ( please hit the Like button on their Facebook page very talented producers and remixers).. Tunes has a house and R'n'B feel. Pure love and I dare you to listen and not have a wie grin on your face.. Ought to be prescribed to sad people and reimbursed! “Everybody Loves”. From Phil & Dan.. another bridge tune thrown in because I could not find the beat of what I had originally planned to drop and I was running out of bars.. Not quite sure it fits the theme but it worked and I love the cow bells sounding percussions and yes My House is Your House and Your House is Mine works ALL THE TIME.. J Now let’s go to something REALLY SPECIAL… way back from 2001 “Loving You” from Smurf and Perry the Vincenzo's Remix!!! DO NOT MISS!!! If ,like me, you are discovering this track, you are in for a treat.. When I first heard it on GN’s Housecall in the "Do You remember House" section, I just could not believe that A) I had never heard such a great track B) that it had been produced in 2001!! Pure bliss of a tune, perfect production and take it from someone who does not like jazz most of the time, it has the most perfect blend of jazzy undertones.. Bass is driving the track from alpha to omega, intricate percussions, great vocals from Concha Buika.. and then there is the classical piano progression at the start and end of the track.. Just telling you that this is A VERY VERY RARE HOUSE GEM.. It goes straight to my top ten.. and knocked a MAW track I never thought could be knocked off.. Additional info to the track.. I searched everywhere on the LEGAL net for the track, Traxsource, Beatport, Juno, Discodogs..etc.. to no avail, no file, no vinyl.. nothing.. I ended up hitting Shane D (host of the show and legendary remixer/producer/DJ from Durban SA) to ask if he could help me to find the tune.. He just sent the vinyl output by return.. Many thanks and much respect.. I had done something for him a few years back without expecting anything. Karma.. they say..Thank you Shane D. “ Settle Down” another Scott Wozniak Remix, I needed a short happy tune to stay in the CD format and not to encroach into the “More Happy Pills" set soon to  follow.. and this little happy gems was just meant for it.. Hope you like the set A bientôt.. with More Happy Pills Xtian

Deep in China The Xin Nian Kuai Le Session (新年快乐) Taking the opportunity in the middle of my Deep in China Sessions to dedicate this one to my Chinese friends and wish them a Happy New Year! Sticking to the Deep theme with a more progressive colour, although I did include a couple of tracks the Deep purists might hang me for.

Nothing more to say.. If anything listening to Ben Watt learning his skills on Sundays at Lazy Dogs in North London decades ago is what brought me to do this.. September from Danny Howells. I had to truncate the track to stay on the CD format yet I must confess that Danny Howells would be one of the first CD of Deep and Tech I ever bought. I owed him one.. “Boogie 2Nite” Boogie Luv vs Spiritchaser.”. Unfortunately I cannot credit anyone as I have lost the tags to the files.. And some purist might disapprove but I know good Deep House when I hear it and this mash-up is A-class! C O O L one of  my favourite in this set. Progressive Deep Indie you choose but the production is masterful and the drums are delicate. “Fading Nights” by Parra for Cuva.. Love this track, love all its remixes and Anna Naklab has a unique way to phrase her lyrics.. Immense production. Pure talent. “Breathe” from Jonathan Meyer.. Had some tragedy in the set, the work on the synths is beautiful and again great production. The internal build of this track is classical in its structure. “Chains” from Audiowhores. Deep with swag, what I really love. Audiowhores are on top of their game. “Cause I Feel “ similar as the previous track with a simple vocal hook, equally as good. Back to Audiowhores with “Facts” in my top five 2013 tracks regardless of genre. Everything is good, the keys, the bass the very simple percussions, and slamming vocals. THIS IS GOOD! The Rhemi remix of “Let the Music Play” I know I have dropped it before but it is of the highest quality and the set needed some funk and lightness by this time. Very happy to have found the Cube Boys Mash-Up of the” Cure and the Cause”. “The Cure & The Cause” is of my top ten house tracks of all time and this mash-up is amazing. DO NOT MISS, I added some beats and changed the key, the talent is all credit to the Cube Boys. As for Tracey K, she may very well be the most perfect pitched vocalist of our generation, pity she is not used enough. Happy New Year to all the Horses I may resume the Deep in China Session and slot something a bit different in between. Hope you like it Xtian

Deep in China The Mengzhou Session.  ( 深藏在中國。在孟州會議 ) Second installment of Deep in China. I believe I am almost there to finally claim that I have mixed a true full Deep House set.The picture was taken in Mengzhou (a predomiantly muslim enclave) in Henan, China.. At least you will believe me when I write Deep in China. And yes I ate there and no I did not get sick.. at least not there..No gimmicks, just a selection of five stars deep tracks, which for all but one, I liked and was eager to see how they would blend. Playlist:  2013 The Deejay's An Alien (Money House Club Remix). David Harness, feat. Roland Clark 2013 This Life Feat. Roland Clark (J & M Brothers Remix). Marcelo Nassi, Rafael Yapudjian and Roland Clark 2013 Liar (Ilias Katelanos Remix). Bourne 2013 Back Home (City Soul Project Remix). Northeye, Frankin 2013 Run (Tantsui Remix). The Maneken 2013 I Go Back (Main Mix). Harry Romero feat. Robert Owens 2012 Feed Me (Dave Nash Remix). Scrub, feat. Barbara and Wahnon 2013 Inside My Love (Original Mix). Magic Eye 2012 Out Of Reach (Alfred Taylor Remix).  Jody Wisternoff feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn 2013 Good Bye (Audiowhores Remix). Dan Nolan 2013 Octavia (Original Mix). Full Intention 2013 Breakin' Of The Dawn 2013 (Ross Couch Remix). DJ 19 2013 Get This House (Original Mix). Deeplomatik  Highlights:“The Deejay's An Alien”.. Well, should you not know what deep house is, listen and hopefully enjoy.. It is the epitome of Deep Dope..“This Life” continuing the same thread, within a strict key range and Roland Clark to guide us. A final note on the synths.. just perfect. “Liar” from Bourne, bass line rules in this track, with again intricate soft pads resonating throughout. Great vocalist making it one of the track of the set. Ilias Katelanos on remix duties lifting this track to Deep heaven.“Back Home”. I love the undercurrent of funk and arguably very happy of how both tracks meshed together.. All about the bass and and simple chords.. Again!“Run” from Maneken,, I have used it recently, Deep and Progressive with 80’s vocals hooks throughout.. Immaculate production.“I Go Back” from Harry Romero.. Track was in the Deep folder for a while and at least I am still on cue real deepness with this one.“Feed Me” from Scrub and Wahnon on the darker side of Deep.  Somehow this style talks to me more when I am on the decks than pure deep house, which I may like to listen to but which I have great trouble to stick to. Give it a fair listen it is very good, very polished.“Inside My Love” from Magic Eye.. THE ABSOLUTE GEM OF THE SET!! DO NOT MISS! I will let you discover what’s Inside this Love J, you will regognize it. I will not spill the beans because if you are lazy enough not to listen to the full track, you have not earned the goodies  “inside my love”… Immense production.“Out of Reach” from Jody Wisternoff. I took me a while to like this track, one of the reason being that I do not think the voice of Mendelsohn is used at its full potential.. But the more remixes I hear, the more I get int... And Deep/Progressive it is!“Good Bye” from Das Nolas. By that time the set was well under way . I knew I had (for once) been able to keep it as deep as it ought to be..  I was slowly but surely giving it a more progressive tone and it felt right. Great remix of Audiowhores!“Octavia” from “Full Intention”. Stepping up the mix towards the end.. If I were listening to it, my feet would be itching to move by now..“Breakin' Of The Dawn 2013”. Closing the loop towards true deep house with Ross Couch on the remix.. I love how it starts deep and touches on soulful when the vocals come in. Ross Couch did a magnificent job with DJ 19 track.. It belongs to any sunset, beach or deep set.. Just to make people happy. And smiling.Closing the set with “Get This House” from Deeplomatik because I hope  that by now I DID get it..See you soon for the third installment of Deep in China. I did warn you that they would drop like flies. Xtian

Deep In China (The Luoyang Session)  洛阳I have been trying to put together some genuine deeper sets for a while. I never fully succeeded to the extend that some would propose that I simply can’t, for I love vocals and sugary melodies far too much to let go and really dig deeper..Well... whilst travelling "Deep" in China, I had the time to attempt to reach the Great Deepnes :). Using the hotel room sound system as Main output, I came out with 6 deeper sets..I am still unconvinced of the overall result but here is the first one, between 117 and 120 bpm.. for better or for worse.I may not succeed at the first attempt but I hope that one of the 6 will hit the spot.. Besides I buy far too many deep tracks to let them die in the confines of my hard drive.The set is kept within traditional Deep keys with minimal edges and very current tracks. You will be the judges.. Playlist:  2013 Restless For You (Boogie Rapture Spring Fling). Nathan G 2013 Just the Way (Original Mix). Something Good 2013 Love Sensation (RCATL Mix). DJ Roland Clark 2013 For The Sake Of Love (MiDiMAN Remix). Anturage feat. MiDiMAN 2013 Another Lie (Original Mix) [The Black Music Xtian Edit]. Dapa Deep 2013 Beautiful (Hakan Kabil Deep mix) [Xtian Rub]. Hakan Kabil feat. Majuri 2013 Can You Hear The Beat (Spiritchaser Remix). Kyodai feat. Gabriela Smith 2013 I’m in Love with You. Samir Maslo 2013 Ich Lass Dich Nicht Zuruck_(Jody Wisternoff Retouch). The Peacemaker Project 2013 Moving Sound_(Together Dub). Miguel Migs 2013 Taste This Love (Chris Deepak Remix). Petros Mitolis feat. Val Gee 2013 Content (The Dancer Mix). DJ Roland Clark 2013 Times Up (Last Call Mix With Spoken Word). Cranky Owls 2008 Here Comes the Sun (Francois K. Remix) [Times Up Xtian Edit]. Nina Simone  Highliights:From local talent extraordinaire Nathan G, a soft deep tune “Restless For You” to hopefully set a serene start to the set. I love the D sharp key used in countless classical pieces to induce “feelings of the anxiety of the soul's deepest distress, of brooding despair, of blackest depression, of the most gloomy condition of the soul”..  It is I believe one of the best key to use for Deep House.“Just the Way “… simple tune based on 3 piano chords, one vocal hook and great ambient production.“Love Sensation” stay in the minor keys, add some beats and a different vocal hook and we have another serene tune. This is what deep House is: building slowly on very simple premises.“For The Sake Of Love” from Midiman, similar groove, still in minor key  keep up with the soothing atmosphere of the set.“Another Lie” from Dada Deep, change of keys and a bit of progressive edge to the Deepness. One of my favourite track of the set.“Beautiful” from Hakan Kabil. Perfectly production, layered with synths and filters and everything Hakan could build on.. Enjoy..“Can You Hear the Beat” Kyodai revelation of 2013 for me with Spiritchaser doing what they do best.. pure dopeness.. Do not let the simple architecture of the track fool you, it has a lot of in-built swag,.“I’m in Love with You” from Samir Maslo. I have noticed that I have  recently bought most of his releases.. Another inspired producer.. This is deep with an undercurrent of Funk and Disco in the keyboard and the guitar. Very clever.“Ich Lass Dich Nicht Zuruck” from the Peacemaker Project.. I will return to this track and open a set with another remix.. Amazing, layered, inspired… I am running out of qualificatives.. DO NOT MISS!"Moving Sound" from Miguel Migs… Deep House sets requires Miguel somewhere.. Simple and effective dope with a slight edge..“Taste This Love” I love the Deepak remix of Petros Mitolis' track.. and to be able to slot Petros between Miguel and Roland Clark was at last a nice way to to justice to his immense talent.“Content” by now you know I can’t resist a Roland Clark, this one is a bit jazzy for my liking but.. still it is Roland.. If he were a woman and she had his poetry and his voice I would melt!“Times Up” by Cranky Owls.. if it weren’t for the next track I would put it as THE GEM of the set..  and it is current. Architecture, new beats, amazing rich production, (this one requires headphones), funky, this track has everything good deep house can bring to the table AND spoken words, which as you know I cannot resist."Here Comes the Sun" (Francois K. Remix).. One of my all time fav.. This is pure perfection and if you hear dissonances at the end, Francois K meant them and to be able to bring dissonance on such an musical anthem and still stay at that level of perfection is pure genius.. I am done.. See you soon with Deep In China Session 2 Xtian

Rained in on a paradise of a tropical island in French Polynesia.. Not complaining as things could be a LOT worse!! Yet once the board games were exhausted, emails read and answered and even slotted a gym session, the urge to create something took over.Hence uploading a little one, which appeared to have soothed the rather gloomy family mood.. Once back home, I will very shortly upload about 6 Deep House sets, the live NYD one and a set I really would like to offer to the community at large called "God is a DJ".. But considering the 6 hours it took to upload this one thanks to neanderthalian broadband speeds here, here is a small "amuse-gueule" straight out of the mixer.Sexy, Soulful with a sprinkle of deep progressive beats with one common thread big BIG basslines. Playlist: 2013 Dying to Survive (Original Mix). Freeman & Farrelly 2013 Guess (Dj Lazz Mystery in The Deep). Deemah and Soledrifter 2008 Sent From Above (Scott Wozniak Remix). Stephen Rigmaiden feat. Darryl D'Bonneau 2013 If You Take My Love (Sound Blast Stereo Vocal Mix). Kings Of Soul 2013 Sender (Original Mix). Paco 2013 The Pressure (Shakedown vs. Layabouts Remix). Haji & Emanuel feat. Beverley Knight & Bryan Chambers 2013 All About That Love (Original Mix). Roland Clark 2012 Deep Down The Underground (Original Mix) Mike Dunn and Fabian Flores 2009 Balearica (U-Ness & JedSet Dubtastic). Jay Vegas 2013 Sexy Scissor (Petros Ecstasy Remix) 2012 Prove Your Love (original Mix ?).  Petros Mitolis 2013 Taste This Love (Petros Mitolis Hot Light Mix vs. Original Mix). Petros Mitolis, Val Gee 2008 All This Love For You (Rocco Spoken Mix). Ralf Gum feat. Diamondancer  Highlights:"Dying to Survive" I love Sade, she has one of the best catalogue of her generation. Unique original creations, amazing deep voice and lyrics that actually mean something. We are blessed to have her. As to this remix, I have been wanting to open a set with it for a long time . The bass line, the drums add a tragic dimension to a track that was already perfection.."Guess" one of those little gems, by far not as simple as the synth hook would make you feel. If you take time to hear the rolling bass line it is pure genius and sustain the melodic throughout the song."Sent from Above' Scott Wozniak take on the old soulful standard. Scott showing one more time that he is one of the best ( if not the best) keyboard player in house music. He always adds an edge depth and weight to a track through his keys, . Impeccable production! Scott just crowd sourced the production of his first artist album, I can't wait for the result."If You Take My Love" from Kings of Soul.. By that time the set had taken a more heavy turn than anticipated and this track came as the obvious drop. Another BIG BIG bassline, this is sexy soulful house as I would LOVE to hear in a club and I ( modestly) think the paring with Sender was an inspired fluke."Sender" from Paco.. whatever this is.. Progressive, Deep, Indie.. I do not care! it is SO GOOD! Great production, great wide atmosphere..Double dose of "The Pressure" with Beverley Knight as the ever amazing vocalist.. Progressive, sexy, soulful.. I guess I needed "release" as well after looking at the never ending tropical rain for 6 hours :)"All About That Love" I love Roland Clark, and will always do. Most of you know that already. It was time in the set to go a bit deeper and once agian Roland served it up. Because " it is all about that rhythm, all about that love".."Deep Down the Underground" there are a few deep tech house tracks I love and this is the perfect example of what someone like Mike Dunn can do.. creating new sound, creating new beats.. Long life to those artists!By now I felt like bringing a bit of sugar and "Balearica" was the obvious tune to drop.. I thought of truncating it as I knew I was about to run over the CD format but I doubt I will have to cut any CD of this one therefore here it is as a whole track with the amazing acoustic guitar in the second part of the track. Great percussion, perfect production.Which takes us to Petros Mitolis little medley..Petros Mitolis. greek german deep and sexy house producer.. I will never do him justince but please listen to his tracks and purchase them, deep, sexy soulful, wide, with imppecable production.. The best way I can describe his sounds... The perfection of Germany with the style and sexyness of Greece."Prove this Love" and "Taste This Love", if you like deep, sexy House buy both releases, there is a lot more there than I can showcase."All This Love For You" one of my base track when I want to go back to the roots of house and close a set.. Simple architecture, spoken words, which tell better than I ever would all the love I have for House Music..Back as soon as I am on a faster internet speed. Happy New Year!!!! Xtian

interlude /ɪntəl(j)uːd/      Male Voices OnlyFrom the french Interlude Definition: a brief piece of music, dance, etc., given between the sections of another performance (C14: from Medieval Latin interludium, from Latin inter- + ludus play))Still rebuilding my database, concurrently working on a request from my son.. this upload is just something I dropped in between sessions..Hence the title "interlude". Playlist made with male voices only to take on a challenge proposed by one follower who, noticing that I use very few male vocalists, through the gauntlet and dared me..True, I much prefer female vocalists to the point that some male ranges and tessiitures actually get under my skin.. One of my quirks.. But there are some male artists I absolutely love..Soulful set with surprisingly mostly current tracks  I will not blog on this set too much, it is an interlude after all and will be back very shorlty. A word on the art.. This equation is from the Feynam lectures on physics and is the best description of the propagation of a sound wave through a medium.. I knew you wanted to know..Playlist: Intro They Call Me Mr DJ. Chuck Lafung 2013 Walk On The Wild Side (Rocco Raimundo Extended Edit) [Xtian the Love Edit feat DJ Spen]. Triple J Exclusive feat. Lou Reed 2013 Suit & Tie (DJ Meme Soundcloud Tuxedo mix). Justin Timberlake 2013 From The Inside (Original Mix). Chasing Kurt 2013 Rolling In The Deep (Classic Mix Soundcloud) M. OtherSoul feat John Legend 2013 I Am Over You (Original mix).

Tortured Soul vs. Black Coffee 2013 Tonight (Classic Vocal Mix). Mike Scot Richard Earnshaw & Chappell 2011 Mama Used to Say (Jerk House Connection Soulful Mix) [Xtian Edit]. Franky Boissy feat. Akram Sedkaqui  Highlights: Starting with a remix/edit of Lou Reed, in memoriam.. another artist I owe to my brother.. The remix is not fantastic and my dub lazy but.. had to mark the occasion and fitted the male criteria.Do not miss " Music Rises Up" from Kyodai, the standout track of this set.. Now this is a male voice I love.. :).. And the Claptone remix has it all, Deep, Soulful, Sexy and even thown in for good measure a bit of ProgressiveDJ Meme's bootleg remix of JT's "Suit and Tie".. get over the rap bit and enjoy JT's talent. One if not the best voice around."From the Inside" enjoy.. pure gem I do not remember how I found this one but massive distorted bass and perfect keys.."Fly" Reel People on the remix.. Soulful and again what a voice.. perfect pitch.."Don't Look Any Further" by that time I was in the mix, passed the point of no return and what do I drop.. A duet!!! Male/Vocalist.. Proof that even with a preset mind and playlist one cannot go against his instinct.. And yes I prefer Hannah Marine to Julio..:)Follow Matt early and Sean McCabe, these two are popping out on most of my sets.. From the Grant Nelson's crew, they have become family.. Nice and Soulful"I Know What's On Your Mind".. no set focusing on male voices would be complete without Tortured Soul... Anagel voice..Finishing with Akram's rendition of the ultimate Soul classic "Mama Used to Say".. now that is A VOICE!Will be back very soon!A bientôtXtian  

Almost Spring...but not quite! (12C in Melbourne today) Indeed, Downunder where I am, it is almost Spring, yet we are absolutely freezing our proverbial t#itts off!With this in mind, here is an unpretentious little disco/funky/beach number blending new takes on old favourites and current funky releases.Since I suffered a total meltdown of my music database, I am in full rebuilding mode and will for a few weeks(I Hope) only access my most recent purchases, the rest being buried deep in the back-ups I thankfully did.After a few very satisfactory and well received progressive sets, I am going back to soulful for a few uploads. To a certain extent a “cleansing” move, though the current offering in soulful still leaves me wanting.I had very few choices having to deal with the corrupted library and still learning to tame the new Traktor S2. Got lazy in some transitions and took a minute and a half to beat match a recalcitrant downbeat in the last track hence the fact that you get the loop for that long.  I could have cut and edited it but to keep the live feel I chose not to and anyhow this was not an upload I wanted perfect.Put this on and catch the first glimpses of the Australian Spring. Playlist:  2013 Come On (Original Mix). Satin Jackets 2012 Riders on The Storm (Pete Oaks Moonshine Edit). The Doors ( Soundcloud Remix)       2013 Give me the Night (DJ Meme DUB & Deep in the Night Long Remix)).George Benson 2013 So Tight (Original Mix) [Xtian The Phuture Edit feat Akabu]. DJ Fudge & Kiko Navarro 2012 Far Away (The Layabouts Vocal Mix). MdCL feat. Lady Alma 2013 Hang On to Your Love (Funky Judge Club Mix) [Xtian Next Level Edit feat Roland Clark]. Funky Judge feat Fassy 2013 Turn Around (Brighter Days). Scott Diaz, Matt Jam Lamont & Brian Keys Tharme         2012 Set Fire On the Rain (OtherSoul Bootleg). Layabouts feat. Adele 2013 The Sun Has Come (Joey Negro Sundown Mix). Ayala   2013 Cada Vez (Michael Gray Mix).The Cube Guys feat. Alexandra Prince      2012 SuperStar (OtherSoul Remix Master). Jamelia      2003 Forever More (Christian F Tribal Edit into Francois K Vocal Mix). Moloko  Highlights:In as much as I did not have much choice with the selection with my corrupted library, I believe I manage to at least dig out good tunes.Here we go:"Come On" by Satin Jackets, perfect example of great production centered around a classic piano riff, 5 chords in progression, a thumping bass and one vocal hook sample.. yet  a perfect tune, which would set the mood for any pro DJ out there.. Love it!"Riders on The Storms" got to love a classic.. I knew I had chosen right when my wife first whinged hearing the intro and then told me .. " wow that's a cool remix".. To top it a yound Catalan to whom I had given a take to listen to asked me for the track.. Cleverly done, again great massive bassline and just two chords recalling the melody throughout the track.. I do not know Peter Oaks ( got it from Soundcloud) but he is one talented man."Give Me the Night" DJ Meme's take on the George Benson classic.. Me like ;).. Ever since I heard Meme given a lesson to Dimitri on how to play to/with the crownd in melbourne a few years ago, I have the outmost respect. His trademark funky/happy rich production is there. The original is enhanced, revisited but not lost.."So Tight" from DJ Fudge & Kiko Navarro, the very same comments than the ones for the frist track "Come On" apply.. Somehow even a more simple production, a piano lick, a voice sample, a clever bassline, a filter here and there and here we go, we have a a great tune.. A lesson in simple but effective production.. from Fudge and Navarro.. Young talent listen and learn ;).. Oh.. I almost forgot, Xtian had to edit it with the Phuture Akabu's sample.. He just had to.."Far Away" from MdCL feat. Lady Alma. A freebie from the Layabouts soundcloud page.. The epitomous beachy tune for me.. The right key, the right percussions, a great vocalist and a great melody.. Add to that the Layabouts treatment and we are in Beach House bliss.."Hang On to Your Love" from Funky Judge feat Fassy. I may have used this remix before.. It just felt right. Suffice to say i love the tune but really the beats matched and I was by that time well under way and starting to feel the mix.. Dropped the sample on top of it, sample, which I later tamed for I am not sure anyone but but wants to hear "house made it good house made it right", but was fun to use the new Traktor remix deck and be able to filter the crap out of some part! It (sort of) works, I am too lazy to edit it post mix.. Before I forget, whoever this Fassie is, great vocalist."Turn Around (Brighter Days)" Scott Diaz's freebie from his soundcould page.. Apparently they had a blue with the vocalist who is not credited and they ended up releasing it for free.. A pity, she is great and whatever disagreement she might have had, this magnificient piece of soulful, beach inspirted tune would have been great for her profile.. Anyhow great job from Mr Diaz.. "Set Fire On the Rain (OtherSoul Bootleg).. With the last track of the mix, definitively the absolute stand-out of the set. Again a freebie from Soundcloud, which I think I got alerted to by Hayden.. Not sure who OtherSoul is but please check their soundcloud page, they are immensely talented and their ptreatment of the Layabouts' an original take on Adele forces the outmost respect."The Sun Has Come" Joey Negro's take on Ayala's tune..  Had to drop this one in a beachy/funky set and it fitted perfectly. As expected from Joey it is just perfectly produced.. Really with Grant Nelson, Joey Negro is my favourite UK house music producers hands-down.. "Cada Vez" from The Cube Guys feat. Alexandra Prince of So Many Times Fame.. This one is one of my favourite happy house tunes and a Freakazoid standard for those who can remember.. Michael Gray is doing justice to this house anthem and I am sure that some of house will shed a nostalgic tear.."SuperStar" another freebie from the OtherSol soundcloud page... the only "weak" tune of the lot, not that OtherSoul's remix is bad, just that maybe the tune was over promoted a few years ago.. But I remember listening to the tune when our first born was a toddler, my own moment of nostalgia..Now for the piece de resistance..."Forever More" the Moloko absolute anthem. Somehow I had either forgotten or totally missed the Francois K Vocal Mix which I heard on the Defected podcast.. I actually bought the DDD compilation just for this track.. I twisted it just enough for it to have a proper intro and fit into the down beat.. But please JUST LISTEN to this track, Francois Kerkovian showing why he is one of the top 10 "godfather" of House.. This track has EVERYTHING, the melody, the production, it is soulful, sexy, tech. deep. Again simplicity rules..Considering the paucity of what I had in front of me, corrupted library/database and a certain tired of soulful feeling, I believe I did "ok"..Next one is a little challenge I have given myself (but with the same library limitations).. A male voices only set.. after being asked by someone why I rarely use soulful tunes with male voices, I thought I would dig deep and put something half decent together..Hope you will enjoying Almost Spring ... but not quite..A trés bientôtXtian

Out of the Darkness, Into the LightDo not be fooled by the slow start, it does get a bit of oomph as we proceed.Thanks to Hayden for helping me finishing it. I was stuck in Tranceland and did to have the guts to either upload it or take another direction. I opted for the latter, for better or worse but at least I moved on!Continuing the Deep & Progressive vibe of the previous sets. I originally went into Trance, only to abort after hearing the end result.Did not have the fortitude to upload as it had dropped, sat on it for almost a month until I decide to tame it down. The end is a bit lazy, by that time I was over it.Those with tuned, discerning and akin ears will get an idea where it was going after 45 minutes.. into my beloved Trouse..Playlist: I Like Chopin (Downtempo Mix).

Johnny Green  Highlights:Loving 1 through 5.Great progressive trancy gems. Starting with Herr Semi “Wandering”, Stars from Ed Lee and “Little People” from Soul Button. Amazing crisp production. Put your headphones on and enjoy.Though it may just be a personal quirk of mine , I find that the current deep/progressive house productions, are a lot more “worked” than the soulful ones.. Somehow it seems that the tunes are more original, whereas the soulful tunes produced really are not exciting..Lana del Rey “Young and Beautiful”, another inspired Nikos Kalogerias remix.. Originally included for my kids but truth be told commercial as it may be I love it..Moderately happy with what I did with the trancy “Crockett’s Theme” from Michael Cassette of A&B fame.Could not resist using Tell Me Why (to the great dismay of my wife) to introduce the mash-up of Titanium..Had to learn how to change keys of a sample for that one, which meant going back to music theory after my ten year old look at me with blank eyes when I asked “How many semitones between this key and that key?”.. Working it out and getting it semi-right which was the highlight of the month for me..Love “Blue Coast” nice little indie number where I have first  used the re ix deck of my new toy ( New Tratktor S2).“Ordinary People” and the double “Nocturnal Dusk” and “Nocturnal Dawn” were last minute addition when I scrapped the trancy end.. Please check out the production of those, it is close to perfection.. The layering and mastering in both tunes is as good as you will ever hear.Lining up a XXX rated sexy set for which I need to spare one night session as I want to do it in one take to stick to the filthy vibe. Furthermore waiting for a remix package to drop on Traxsource on the 8/11 to hopefully headline the set.In the meantime, I most probably will toy around with a beachy, soulful number. I am starting to accumulate decent new tunes in that segment and I feel it is time to get “Out of the Darkness and Into the Light”.Hope you enjoy my tunes.A bientôt Xtian

Free Your Mind On the chilled, progressive and tech side of Deep House.I suggest grabbing a book or setting yourself on a task and let the music take you through its ebbs and flows.“Free Your Mind” is a nice chilled cerebral journey with a thinly disguised oniric dimension.   The best I can describe it is: “ this is a nice little tight package”.It took a while to get the level of consistency I felt it deserved but I finally achieved telling the musical story I wanted to share. It may not be perfect but from my point of view, it has a lot of internal logic.There are many original tunes in the set, which like the “I Wish You Were Here” previous mix are from producers and artists I did not know before. I entice you to grab a decent pair of headphones or listen on a good Hi-FI system. The production, mastering and layering of all those tracks is simply superb.Free Your Mind and take the jounrey.. Playlist: Intro It's a Dream (Reality Mix).

Manu Riga 2011 Trippin’ (Original Mix). Redondo 2013 Free Your Mind (Original Mix). Eli and Fur Outro Splinter in Your Mind. DJ Phenix  Highlights:I chose to headline the set with this soundcloud remix of Aaliiyah's “If  Your Girl Only Knew” from Nikos Kalogerias a DJ from Zakyntos (Greece) to give him a shout.https://soundcloud.com/dj-nikos-kalogeriasCheck his soundcloud page. Nikos gets his talented fingers on big tunes and the result is ALWAYS high quality.“You’re so High” fitted perfectly in the “Free Your Mind” spirit, I love the vocalist and have discovered Ellis & Fur. I will be following them from now on.“Bakerboy” from Gunjah great chilled deep track with an amazing production, inspired pads and begging for a mash-up with Buena Vista Park.. Please someone out there with talent pick it up and do it!“I Want It” a cookie french little number which reminds me of a nursery rhyme fititng snuggly in the oniric dimension of the set. Listen to the driving bassline and the superb production."Out of Reach" Jody Wisternoff feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn. I have sat on this track for almost a year. I think the main reason for the delay was the fact that I knew Mendelsohn from "King of My Castle" fame and expected another anthem  track.. But the atmosphere of the track, the clinical beats, the ever present synth pads and the overlayed melodies should have made me realize this track is well worth a listen by a wider audience.."Fading Nights" Parra for Cuva feat Anna Naklab ..Whoah.. distorted bassline, clever beats, multi-layered production. Not sure if I know if this is house, indie even maybe trance. But I know you needs immense talent to produce such a complex track with no real melody and pass my melodic centric internal test.."Micro Man" from Jelly for The Babies.. Instrumental deep and progressive gem, which may not have needed the Xtian vocal edit.. but you have to admit it was begging.."I Wish You Were Here" from John Creamer, Stephane K, John Creamer & Stephane K feat. Nkemdi.. Just the credit reads like the House Hall of Fame.. John creamer AND Stephane K!!! I have used this tune in a previous mix but I LOVE this remix, deep but bouncy with a discrete key riff which sweetens what is effectively a techie number and those bongoes in the background.. Pure Inspiration! Not even mentioning the chill out rainforest sample driving into the break.. House heaven as commented on my podcast.."Sunrise Collective" from Appa Glas.. another indie/prog tunes with a bouncy house undertone.. The tempo of the set was picking up and those two cuts dropped like they were jsut made to be there.. Ebbs and Flows.. exactly what I was looking for.. Again amazing production and massive bassline.. This is clever house at its very best.."The Monster" from SourDen feat Veela. Is it Trip House or is it Trance? I have no idea but but perfectely fitted for this foray.. Complex track with no defined melody and every oniric journey needs a "Monster".."The Nighttime" from Manu Riga is the point in the set when I crossed the rubicon and went into Trance.. ( I so want to do a new trance set but can't find enough new quality tunes").. I love this kind of Trance and if you call it Progressive House well let me dream and call it Trouse..Trippin’ from Redondo... One of the three gems of this set. DO NOT MISS IT! You all know the original but this is a tease track and any DJ worth his salt should have it in its bag.. Any set could start with this and take the punters straight into stratosphere.. let alone that Trippin' and a "Free Your Mind" set were a a no brainer.. ( thank you the added categories Cour and Subtext..).Finally "Free Your Mind" from Eli and Fur. Believe it or not the track came as an after thought.. I had used the splinter in your mind and aura samples and then thought to add the second Ellis and Fur track once I had chopped the original mix and had another 5 minutes to go.. A deep and progressive little number so logical as and end tune and still with magnificient production.OK enough.. I visibly like this one.. I hope you will as well..Enjoy.Next one hopefully a happy trancy trouse one.. XtianP.S.:I will go on a little tangent reflecting on the creative process, answering a message from Umich Iasking me how do I select tunes for a set.I actually have no idea how others do it but here is the sequence of my not-so-creative process.All my music collection is categorized between genres and sub-genres, then sorted by keys and bpm. Nothing unusual!The one thing I do, which others may not is to I include 2 extra categories:- One is “Colour” … do not ask me how I chose and what I mean for I could not articulate it but I will say that the tunes you hear in “Free Your Mind” were in the dark blue category.- The other category is “Subtext”, which is what the vocals tune are about ( Political, Love. Happiness, Sex, etc..) or if instrumental track how it makes me feel. This set Subtext was Sadness and Mind.Once I have decided on a soundscape (for this one I wanted dark, brainy), I make a simple query with tight constraints (usually no more than 8 bpm difference, sometimes only 3 to 4 harmonized keys and a “date added” constraints to keep the set current and a rating of 4 to 5.I lthen peruse the results of the query, keep 18/20 tracks and try to build in my head a start, core and end. This structure I owe to my Gallic schooling upbringing  The French education system is very, very big on writing plans.. Execution is not quite as much of a focus!The first draft is done in one go on Traktor. I just get into it and mix for 2 hours. This one took 4 versions for I deleted some tunes which were too “happy” and played around with the order to achieve maximum consistency.The rest is just “tweaking and adding effects. If anyone is interested what you are listening to is V.4z (most of the edits to cut it down to a CD format).. I usually do not allow myself to go beyond z.. If I need the Greek alphabet for the set to be uploadable, it is time to shelve it to the dark recesses of my HD!Here is your answer UMich!

"I Wish You Were Here" ( The Mandarin Landmark Set)This is not the right forum to elaborate on the subtext of the set but its darker moods and yet softer tunes are a true reflection of what I was feeling when I put it together.I feel it may be one of my most original if not one of my best upload. You will be the judges.. At the confines of Progressive, Deep, Trance, Nu and Sexy House.. and so very clever.. Most tunes are very current and at least from my end not mainstream.All tracks chosen to support the message.I just realized I played a double (Feeling) .. Oops, at least you know I did it live and just followed the flow.Take the journey, you will no regret it!Playlist Intro Ibiza (Intro Mix). 2013 Wish You Were Here (Mika Olson Remix).

Abs FabHappy Birthday Viv!Uploading this one for my wife! It's her birthday today and she is going away. Thought I could quickly wip something up she would enjoy listening to.It is neither an original nor a particularly tidy set but tunes are old favourites of ours and listening to Marc Evans soulful voices is a direct path to bliss..Marc Evans and Sandy Rivera's classics with a twist..

The Pirate Set is a yearly fixture of this podcast. Live from the Pirate Bar in Hydra (Greece), courtesy of Wendy, Takis, Zeus and Zara Bouchlas.. Undoubtedly the best and most friendly bar in Greece. Old classics from 2009/2010 with new soulful tracks. The set was running along nicely until I drop Sergio Flores’ “ Hold On”, then pure magic.. Punters looking up and giving me the thumb up, massive smile on their faces, hands up in the air, even some conspicuous sparkle in the eyes of the hotties for the old grey-haired fat guy on the decks!!!!! There is no better high for a DJ than getting THAT FEEDBACK!! By the time” It’s Yours” dropped I knew I “had” them, the rest was just bonus to bring them down.. Looking down at the playlist, I realized I played a track twice (whoops) but also that the extended family is there: Sahne D, Marc Evans, Scott Wozniak, Rob Hayes, Sean McCabe, U-Ness and Soulheat,, Dave Mayer, Frankie Knuckles, Matt Early.. Somehow I missed Grant Nelson but really this snapshot is my family holiday shot!  Playlist:  Intro The Cicadas of Hellenic Seaways 2004 Strings Of Life (Funky Lowlives Mix.)

The Sun Set As played on the 5th of July at the Sunset Bar Hydra.. Soulful and hopefully smooth chilled grooves most of them release in June 2013.The whole idea was to create the appropriate soundscape to accompany the sunset, which picture up above can even pretend to depict the true glory and purity of what we were seeing..I had thought for months how and when to use the French accapella, finally I got the opportunity to use it to death!The sun sat at 1 hour 4 minutes at which time I dropped the sample (yet again) to Sean McCabe’s jam “Move”..So for those in Europe filling like it, stream or download the set about 1 hour before sunset and share our experience.. Playlist:  Intro Ton Regard Eclaire Ma Vie (Accapella).

Buy it!I head of Samir Maslo on Grant Nelson’s Housecall, “Reach for the Sky” is one of those “happy” tunes sure to lighten up a crowd.“Mr Weather Man”.. current yet classic soulful track and fitted perfectly in the Sunset vibe.“Fall For You” another amazing collaboration between KOT and April.. Please rush to Traxsource and buy the package, we want them to continue producing such quality house music!“Perfectly” Martin Atjazz take on the Layabouts’ gem.. No need to expandThe Director’s Cut of “Bring Me Joy” oh I do love that rich sound of Kupper and Frankie…“Move” Sean McCable remix was always going to be the track the sun would sat on.. Loving the vibe!“Get it Down” nice funky nice from Lauer and Canard to get the feet going Hope you enjoy the set Will be back soon Xtian

Deepartures: Hydra From Hydra in Greece, a nice Deep vibe , with enough bounce never to get boring..

Mr. V  Highlights: “Extension” from Springsteen & Danism, one of those Deep gems, with a great base riff, pads and bassline and chilled vocals..The same could be said from “Lovelight Flight” add outstanding production..Into “ Give Me Joy” a more soulful number which came out as a great remix package of an old classic house track. Run to Traxsource and spend some $$$ on this one..“Closer” DJ Spen and my wife’s favourite voice “Marc Evans”.. Need I say more!!!Into some real Deep House jam from Jimpster with “Hold My Hand”. Dope!“Believe” from Prez & Brujita..As one mate of mine said, “such a Xtian track!”. And indeed it is. Listen to the ad lib vocal.. “Music is the Key”..“It's Only You” the Sandy Rivera's Original Mix). Kings Of Tomorrow, April I will never get enough of them.. If you are  cheap enough to listen to the track without buying it on Traxsource, you do not deserve to download my music!“Reasons To Be Dismal”, this track fits so well what I am looking at right now.. the Aegan sea.. Love it Deep and Beach House.“I Give It All To You” Sean McCabe’s Raw Mix from Seascape feat. Dawn Tallman. Another amazing soulful production from Sean.. The man has enormous talent..And to wrap it up, another massively talented remixer.. Carl Hanaghan giving the remix treatment to a French house classic “Music Sounds Better With You” with a deep not funky angle. Very clever! Next one will be a live set from the Pirate Bar in Hydra.. A yearly fixture of the podcast.. Enjoy Deepartures! Xtian

Secret Stash….. A word of caution! If the sound quality of the set is dubious do not be surprised!Self Indulgent, light and repetitive my first audience being my kids and my hope is that the set will be the road trip set of our upcoming European Summer Break..This set consists of private DJ edits , not officially released, either because the remixer wants to use them for his gigs or because they have not been given the rights.I obtained the files either because the creator made them available OR because I captured the stream (hence the suspect sound quality)..I may be breaking some copyrights laws by using and publishing the tunes but since they are not available to purchase I feel that I am not quite breaking my no illegal download rule..Enjoy the Secret Stash... it is FULL of goodies..  Intro Norman Cook aka Fatboy Get Luck Harden faster Better.

Nocturnes 3.0 Third and most probably last instalment of the Nocturnes series.Keeping up with the nightly vibe with some cheeky edits and my first original mash-up with “It’s You I Touch”.If you feel like having a laugh scroll to 58:46.. The added sample is priceless..Best way I can describe the final set is as an attempt to blend Deep with Progressive house with a NYC undercurrent vibe.Nocturnes 3.0 fits snuggly in the series and I believe it is a tidy way to wrap it up. Playlist: 2013 It’s You I Touch [Xtian Mash-Up Original Mix vs Soda Panorama Bar]. Buraq & Patrick Podage and FCL 2013 Leaves Falling (Mario Basanov Dub). Kruse & Nuernberg feat Nathalie Claude 2013 Sky In Your Eyes (Original Mix). Betoko 2013 Going Crazy (Original Vocal Mix).

Andrew Herbertson 2012 Spectra (Madloch, Yunta & Beat Syndrome Remix). Mauro Norti and Travis MacDonald feat. Ashley Benjamin 2013 Moon (Original Mix). HVOB  HighlightsBar “Cooler Couleur », which is the only weak track and here because of the french accent sample, all tracks in the playlist are worth running to Beatport and Traxsource and paying for the original versions.“It’s You I Touch” is my first real attempt at a mash-up. "Touch" by Buraq & Patrick Podage vs. "It’s You" by FCL. I hope someone with real talent will pick up what is a good idea and make it great… Because those 2 tracks are begging for it.”Leaves Falling” progressive trancy track with a Balearic tinge. It reminds me of early Chicane and Café del mar.“Sky in Your Eyes” you will recognize the main pads line and it will take you back!“Going Crazy” and “Start Again”, two solid tunes, with great male vocals and perfection of a bass line..“No Eyes” from Claptone, with “Follow The Step”, the real gem of the set. I love the bass line, the production is beyond reproach, deep, sexy, progressive…Into “Follow The Step”, which was the discovery of the Miami Winter Music Conference (WMC), I am not sure I am giving the tune the credit it deserves and I will came back to it further down the road.Fairly satisfied with my 2 edits of “Black Room Boy” and “Let’s Play” giving them the NYC remix treatment with a Kev Cruz sample I hope put to good use.“All Cats Are Grey”, if you are an adult check the tune (starting at 58:46) you will have a laugh.. I stumbled on the Ed Weather sample a few months ago.. Priceless..Finishing with "Spectra" and "Moon", 2 fantastic progressive gems... I may start the following progressive mix with "Spectra" to give the tune a bit more exposure.Not quite sure where I will go next, most probably soulful or if I have the time I will prepare an edit set for some freinds of mine dropping in over the weekend.. We shall see.In the meantime..EnjoyXtian

2013 May "En Mai fais ce qu'il te plaît!"French Proverb which literally means " In May do what pleases you".. Today is my birthday and I am stuck at home with a massive head cold.. Thought I would give myself a little present and put together a set JUST FOR ME... A collection of deep, cookie, eclectic tunes, which I would hate to forget and lose in the dark recesses of my hard drive because they do not fit the strict format of Deep, Soulful, Progressive of this podcast.So here it is, jams I like, sounds I want to be able to access in the distant future, tracks that may not have the vocal hooks I love, yet trigger emotions at a complete different level.If you do not want to indure a bit of tech, a bit of deep, a bit of NY style, a bit of garage, a bit of acid, a bit of jackin' do not bother with the set and wait for the next one..I am not inferring that those tunes are "better", just that on my birthday I may do what pleases .. ME..Playlist: 2009 Intro I Feel Good. Roland Clark 2013 Where Did You Go (AtJazz Remix). Shea      2013 On To You. Golf Clap 2013 NY 2 UK (James Dexter Mix).

Urban Soul 2013 The Whistle Song (Supernova Remix). Frankie Knuckles & Director’s Cut 2013 I Feel (Samson Lewis Remix). Logistix pres. Deon Nathan  Highlights:Not sure Highlights is going to cut it but a better option is to comment as to why I included a specific track:“Where Did You Go” Shea and Marcel Atjazz, need I say more.. Lovelly little intro track.“On To You”. Golf Clap, is “very hot right now ;)” deep, great work on the beats and the production yet melodic.“NY 2 UK”.. Do I love the undergroove? Yes add some accapellas and everyone who knows me, gets the idea.. Very current, real Deep, edgy, funky…“I Saw Yo Girl” I always have had a thing for Hip/Hop.. Edgy track with an acid tinge..“Pieces” Flashmob is becoming bigger by the day.. and I love the acapella with the brit accent.. Another edgy track, which may really push your limits.“New York Style” Jerk House Connection French and really good.. I love the NY feel, I love the reggae vocals.. and it stays melodic.“Be Right There”.. Current, modern, hatched beats had to included a bit of Jackin’ House in this set..“All I Have Is Love” continuing the darker NY feel with a greek remixer Elias Tzikas.“Let It Go” Deep Tech House at its very best.. I wanted a wake up track with a nice groove at this moment in the set.. This came up..“What you need” now in the back part of the set, introducing a bit a bit of funk and sugar..“Another Way” another Golf Clap track with Grant Nelson’s giving it a UK feel.. If you have stayed with me so far, you are starting to have fun!!“My Urban Soul”.. Roland Clark, Urban Soul.. Bringing you down but how can I resist…“The Whistle Song” Frankie Knuckles seminal classic gets the Supernova remix treatment. I love it and perfect to get ready to exit the set..“I Feel (Samson Lewis Remix)” I absolutely love this track, deep, groovy funky and I simply had to give anyone who actually stayed with me on this set a big dollup of sugar at the end.. Next one will be less introspective I promise.. Happy Birthday to Me Xtian 

   2013 April FashionistAnn Recorded last month for a very dear friend of ours, Ann G.Set is meant to be smart, classy, elegant, soft, current, switched on, yet with a sense of unmistakable fashion style. A bit like Ann..Straight out of the mixer with no added post-production frills.I sat on it waiting for her to mention it.. It never came and I assumed it wasn't woth uploading! But my harshest critics (wife and kids) were listening to the mixer output in the car yesterday and requested to have a cut CD..

Nocturnes 2.0 ( first played and publish for www.djradio.com (UK) )Second iteration of the “Nocturnes” series.It came about as a request from www.djradio.com [UK]. They contacted me for an exclusive second “Nocturnes” which as they mentioned could include a few surprise outside of the normal House genre.At the crossroads of Progressive House, Trance with a definite Indie flavour. I expect it might not be everyone’s cup of tea, with some lauding it and some hating it. There are a few ambient and instrumental only tunes giving the set a unique feel within what I normally publish. It is a Journey, take it, I am hoping it is a rewarding one.Do not miss out of the Florence and The machine “Spectrum” jam, it is destined to become an anthem and another remix will headline one of my future set. Playlist: 2013 Let's Fly Away (TH Moy Remix). Alfida & TH Moy  2011 Big Jet Plane (Animal Trainer Remix). Jan Blomqvist 2012 You Are The Sun (Nihil Young Remix). More Care 2012 You’ll See (Save As Remix). Lameduza & Universal Solution 2012 Do U Want Me (Deep Mix). Joy Kitikonti 2013 Get Away (Full Length Version) [Xtian Revelation Edit feat R. Clark) . Tocadisco feat. Forever (Extended Mix) . Brezza, JP DJ, Natalie Gioia 2012 Dub Elegy (Original Mix). Alec Sonite feat.Henrik Skanfors 2012 Spectrum (Say My Name) (Maya Jane Coles Remix). Florence & The Machine 2012 Twilight (Original Mix). Manhattan 2012 From Russia with Love (Ambient Mix) [Xtian Creature Edit feat. Mara Redeghieri]. Matt Darey & ESP 2013 All That Matters (Original Mix). Kolsch feat. Troels Abrahamsen 2012 Shine On Me (Matteo Monero Remix). Matt G feat. LucasHache 2010 City Lights (Lady Luck) (Original Mix). Timo Garcia & Amber Jolene  Highlights“Let’s Fly Away” from Alfida is a trancy little number, trance tragics like me will relish listening to. The Blomqvist’s remix of “Big Jet Plane” is a very clever progressive rendition of the commercial hit.“Get Away” from Brezza you will either live it or hate it.. I am definitively on the Love side of the spectrum. Indie, clever, Rock with a superb production.“ Spectrum (Say My Name)”.. After the version of “You Got The Love” Florence and the machine are on everyone’s radar.. This original tune will become an anthem and the Maya Janes Coles remix is perfect for Florence’s haunting vocals. DO NOT MISS!!“All That Matters” from Kolsch, deep progressive house right down my alley. Another very polished production.“Shine On Me” from Matt G., with “Fly Away” and “Spectrum”, standouts of the set..Hope you enjoy it.Not quite sure as yet, which way I will go next.. but it will be sooner rather than later as tunes are really starting to accumulate. Xtian

March 2013 Light n’ Easy Mixed on the fly at 30,000 ft on CX 134 bound for Hong Kong. As the title alludes, easy listening Deep and Soulful set. If I think about it, Light n’ Easy is my first real 2013 mix. I had let accumulated 26 hours of recently purchased tunes on my hard drive and the task of sieving through the sheer mass was daunting.With 8 and half hours spare flying to HK, I knew I had a chance to listen, categorize, rate, level all those tunes.. From there it was just a short step to open Traktor and let the set flow wherever the mood and tunes would take me..Done on the fly, it is patchy but the result has unity and its own flavour. It is Light n’Easy..Random Soul, Australian talent, is heavily promoted and they fully deserve the focus. There are a couple of older tracks offered by DJ Remixers and the set fluctuates from happy, beachy house to deeper soulful tunes. Playlist: 2012 Watching You (Yogi's RSR Boogie Mix). Random Soul 2013 Only You (Soledrifter Dub) [Xtian we the Beat Drop Edit feat Seductive Sapphire]. Alvarez & Marck Jamz 2013 Love Me Right (Seb Skalski & Masta P Remix) {Xtian Edit].

Jask & Nikos Diamantopoulos vs. Everything But The Girl 2013 Someone Like You (Full Vocal Mix). Soulmagic  Highlights: “Only You” by Alvarez & Marck Jamz, I am keeping the best remix of this release for a later date but great tune well worth buying.“Mysterious.”. Random Soul AND Richard Earnshaw.. nothing more to say.“Tell Me Now” by The Layabouts feat. Portia Monique.. Portia has and amazing voice and the Layabouts do what they always do pure perfection.“I Feel” by Logistix pres. Deon Nathan, a soulful gem, which other better remix I could not use because .. I just could not find the beat and refused to auto synch it in order to preserve the integrity of the tune for another set.From “Have Mercy” to “Only Love” and “What’s Going On” we are at the congruence of Classic and Modern Soulful House.As for “Someone Like You”, one of the best release of 2012, I just had to give you the pleasure of enjoying the very recently released  tFull Vocal Mix.. Two little gems offered by DJs.. “Every Breath You Take” and the “Missing/Dreams” mash-up.. very clever. Full respect and gratitude to the Woz and Jask Enjoy and be kind, this was really done on the fly and uploaded a few hours after. Next one.. we a bit of luck I will continue the Nocturnes Serie  Xtian

Nocturnes 1.0. And the  Night moves on...Nocturnes is French for Nightly.. The great Chopin named some of his pieces "Nocturnes", far from me to draw any sort of kinship yet put this set on, dim the lights, grab a book, read, meditate or just chill.For all the Nightcrawlers. Readers and other sleep-impaired creatures out there!Deep and Progressive with a hint of very soft trance..From 99 to 120 bpm. A MUCH slower pace than what I usually serve.. Meant to relax the listeners.I gave it a month ago to a young man, whose comment was " nice but not much schtick".. that's when I knew I sort of got it right ;)..I have had it on my HD for more than a month but I could not decide whether I would go soulful or progressive.. Since I am suffering from whatever is the equivalent of writer's block for a DJ, I have decided to publish it and wait for inspiration to strike.. later Playlist: 2013 West End Girls (Leon & Toky aka Superhero Remix) [Xtian The Night Moves On Edit} . Dino Lenny 2012 New Path (Original Mix) [Xtian Almor del Alma Edit]. Nubah 2012 Love So Deep (Original Mix).  Nubah 2012 Never Let Me Go (East Café Deep Dub) [Xtian Notice Me Edit feat Sandee].

Stimming and  David August 2012 Wildlife (Original Mix). Animal Picnic 2012 Tell Me Stories (Ferniasty Remix). Maciej Wunsch  Highlights: "West End Girls".. nice to see this tune come back with a 2013 flavour still preserving the 80's groove. "Love So Deep" from Nubah may well be the aboslute gem of the set, driving bass and deep keys... Enjoy! "Over" by Maya Jane Coles.. MJC is most probably the best female DJ/Producer there is and she has that trouse feel I really dig.. As for the tune, I do not know if it is "house" but it is driving for sure, with great guitars and basslines. "Touching Me" by Finnebassen, one of the best release of 2012. So happy to have used it before it became too buried in all the new music! "Rain in My Heart" by Jane Maximova.. best I can describe is "Chilled Balearic Trance" very CDM and reminds me of early Chicane. "Our Discovery" by Henry Saiz, continuing the balearic mood is a progressive little gem. which could belong to the original Cafe del Mar (CDM) serie. "Sexy Biest" by Stimming and Aavid August, very, very sexy deep, progressive tune and I feel my edit is doing the tune justice. The last 2 tracks, "Wildlife" and "Tell Me Stories" wrap up the nocturnal mood in a nice chill yet progressive groove. I shoud be back soon with a soulful banger.. But the Nocturnes serie is not yet completed.. Xtian  

Deeply Twisted Sexy Tribal Affair.. Have had this set on my HD since NYD.. It is the After Party Set..If you have no idea what an after-party is,  it’s what happens when the main crowd has long gone home.. Whoever is left has somewhat survived the night, as for the DJ on the decks.. well same thing...After Party sets are different to main sets. They are ALL about the Beat & the Bass! Both the Beat & Bassline will (or won’t) bring the punters back to the Dance floor.Tunes do not need to be commercial (whoever is left is usually either f@cked up or really committed to Jack). Normally only tight crews are left, they were here to dance and sipped it to the last drop/beat..The whole idea of an After Party set is to slowly but surely put the spark back in the eyes of whoever is left and not totally comatose. For DJs, it can be a real treat because they have total creative freedom with revelers they know will get it IF the music is good.Those sets are twisted routes to bring back tired and spacy house-heads back to peak time and put one last smile on their faces before they say their goodbyes, hug, put their sunglasses on and are ready for the walk of shame.... Here is my After Party set..On the darker side of Deep, with a bit of Sexy Tribal and enough Funk not to completely lose you.  Some sugar but a lot of spices and PA.I had  fun for a lot of the tunes were not in my "zone", furthermore I was pleasantly surprised that I could handle those tricky beats.  As a whole journey, I, for one maybe, would soooo get it..Give it a listen and if at times you find it twisted, persevere and push yourself. You will be rewarded.  Playlist: Intro Da After Party (DJ Roland Clark) 2011 Welcome To My World (Larry Labirt & Petros Mitolis Vocal Mix) [Xtian Five Fathoms After Party Edit].

Jamie Principle 2012 Turn It Up (Radio Edit). Jason Chance & Marcella Woods   Highlights: Starting off with "Welcome to My World" from Petros Mitolis feat. Dawn Williams & Mike LaBirt. Petros is a greek-german prodcer remixer, which was kind enough to befriend me on FB. I always wanted to start the NYD set with this Deep and Sexy gem. In the live version, the tune was coupled with a Jaime Lewis/Kim Cooper track, I rejigged the set this month because I thought that both tracks were too similar and somewhat the Lewis' one, was taking the shine off Petros' production. Then I had to find a monster track which would fit and I could tweak to blend in.. The Kevin Yos/Ben Watt Edit of EBTG Five Fathoms was just perfect.. Massive track but not overpowering "Welcome to My World"Petros Mitolis' production are selling on Traxsource. Follow this link and please support this very talented artist."All this Love for You" from Ralph Gum just perfect and the adlib is very tight.Love the Jaime Lewis take on Prince's new track "Rock and Roll Love Affair". Their current collaboration is giving Prince's creations the house edge they need to cross to the dancefloor.I am not unhappy of my edit of Hombostel's "Fire". I worked on two fairly poor accapella samples but the track did not suffer too much.Party Non Stop from "Pirupa". Had to be somewhere as it was one of the big track of Ibiza 2012. As for Nang Bang, anyone who knows me will tell you that I would never miss the occasion to put Mr V in a set..Then 2 cooky Frankie Knuckles tracks, "Back2 NY" and the anthemic "Your Love",  taken from his last album released late 2012. New takes on old tracks which fitted snuggly.As said, if you stay with me on this one from A to Z, you will be rewarded.Next uploads will be progressive and down-tempo but I may slot a Soulful House one in no to lose too many followers not interested in my experiments. Xtian

First and foremost Happy New Year! Be Safe and Healthy wherever you are!2013 New Year's Day Live Set(3 hours long beware before you on a mobile device and pay horrendous charges)Straight from the mixer, a 3 hour soulful, vocal and funky house extravaganza with all your favourites from 2012 and late 2011.It was sunny, on the early afternon of NYD, we were on our roof top, with a makeshift stand for the gear made out of an old plot printer from work, powered speakers just bought from the pawnbroker down the road and surrounded by close friends with whom we always try (rain or shine) to spend the first day of the year.. It had the feel of an original "House Party"..Above all, I wanted to avoid the disaster of last year, and I, therefore, selected the very, very top shelf of my vocal house (hand)bag House.. Nothing groundbreaking, all overground> This was not the time to be "clever"...The aim was to get my friends to come to me and say "oh I love this one", "this is one of my favourite", or "what is that? I love it".. well.. it might not have been underground and there were no edits nor acapellas, but I think I did achieve what I attempted..We had a GREAT New's Day and this very simple, happy set made the Freemasons' one dimensional set later on very bearable.Thanks to Viv and my friends for making it possible and see you next year, same place, same time and hopefully same friends. This was a very good format!Playlist:1. Fade (Original Pt. I). Solu Music Featuring Kimblee2. Come Together (The Remixes) (Jay West Vocal). Andy Ward & Random Soul3. Call My Name...

   Deep Aural Dope In the midst of selecting funky banging tunes to get the structure of a NYD set, I urgently felt the need for something more intimate..This episode is light and this episode is Dee. it is sugar with a pinch of pepper, chocolate with a dash of chili.. I know I will soon take Aural Dope on the plane and enjoy it alongside other deep and soulful podcasts I want to have some alone time to savour.Suited for our down-under summer, I hope I achieved to make it soulful with a resolute Deep tinge.A word on the number 73... In the words of Sheldom Cooper from TBBT:"73 is the 21st prime number, it's mirror 37 is the 12th and it's mirror 21 is the product of multiplying, hang on to your hats...7 and 3. In binary, 73 is a palindrome, 1001001, which backwards is 1001001."Playlist: Intro Da House Head - Deep (Accapella). A.B.O.H. feat..

You KNOW it is going to be good! I love each and everyone of those tracks. Immaculate production, all deep yet soulful. I neither want nor can choose..Check the rework of "Paradise Row". The Tortured Soul and Random Soul jams are precious, both Edmund's tracks are gems... Really, this is high quality house music, I just hope the mixing is up to the task..EnjoyIn case I do not post anything until New YearI wish you all an absolute banger!

    The Australian Summer is Here!Set starts in the Hippies 70's and ends in the 80's with Rick Astley.. You are forewarned!For Viv, the kids and myself to sing-a-long in the car during the Summer.. I hope they will like it!Simple, fun and happy set..  It's Disco, It's Eighties, It's Up and it's Summer.Granted it is a bit handbag but I fully assume it and since I am not over the crap I heard when I went out a month ago, it is my way to say that I do not hate commercial house (on the contrary!) but I really despise a professional not making the effort to find something original..This being said there is a lot of talent in this playlist if you take a second and scan through.. Tocadisco, DJ Meme and Frankie Knuckles, Shane D (rare producer/remixer/dj talent from Durban South Africa) and Scott Diaz..If you are ready to sing and dance.. try it! If you look for something progressive underground take cover this is NOT FOR YOU!As for the art... well I have used a few skimpy girls before to bopost up the ranking.. I thought I have have one for the girls ( and boys).. Playlist:  2012 Let the Sun Shine 2012 (Tocadisco Radio Edit).

Shane D & Doobie Brothers 2012 Never Gonna Give You Up (Shane D Remix).Shane D & Rick Astley Highlights:The kids have already their favourite.. Shane D's edit of Adele's "Rollin in The Deep", close second the Tocadisco take on the "Hair" old anthem " Let The Sunshine In"..I personally love Meme's disco take on "Make Me Feel", the sexiness of Shane D's beats on Silence and I could not pass on the Dobbie Borthers.. this is pure genius! The original is left untouched just udpated.. As for Rick Astley... let's see if you will not dance, sing aor whistle along.A bit of Jackin' house with Scoot Diaz "No Matter", if you do not know what Jackin' House is, do not worry.. up until a few months ago I did not know it existed nor would I have ever thought I would actually like it..As for the Frankie Knuckles tracks (all the Director's Cut jams).. well.. it is Frankie and if you cannot hear the talent, the art, the silk, the perfection.. you should not be reading my blurb.. Frankie Knuckles... It's Aural cashmere...Yoko Ono's "Movin' On".. Tune really belonged to the Transitions trilogy but I could not fit it in the self-imposed 1h20min format, besides I think it is not out of place here.Next one should be Sexy Deep House but I may also do a ghost for a live set to be played on NYD therefore not sure which way it will go..EnjoyXtian 

   What Happened to that Sound? Indeed... whatever happened to that Sound? I was out recently and suffered through 3 hours of intense crap. Not crap because " it's not my kind of groove" but for it was low quality, repetitive pop music remixed using stems and patches we have heard millions of times. The pinacle was an elektro remix of ... Cindy Lauper's "Girls want to have fun"..All of the above prompted me to drop a simple, little set, which, if it were to be heard in a club, would be an intro set.. Before the main crowd piles in, before the first DJ "has to" get people moving..An 11pm to 12pm set, at the time when balances are set, the acoustics of the room are tested, when the DJ hopefully listens to the crispness of his trebbles, makes sure the bass does not resonate etc.. Also the time for him to go on a little me-me-me and listen to tunes that may not have a sure main room immediate appeal but which potential needs to be assessed through the output of a good sound system.Sexy, soulful, sometimes Deep and with a bit of funk to start the night..Robby, Denise, i was thinking of you two whilst doing this one... We would get it!Playlist: 2012 Hallelujah Anyway (Larse Dub vs. Larse Vocal Mix) [Xtian Tails of a DJ Edit feat Boza].

Sadam Ant 2012 Geh Tiefer (Deeper Mix) (Xtian Phunked Edit]. Groove Addix, feat.Stephy Lange   Highlights:“Hallelujah Anyway” by Candy Staton, undoubtedly this tune will be in the top 10 soulful track of the year. Great vocal and Larse is giving this classic tune a 2012 shaper edge. I am quite partial of my edit of Giom’s  “Luv Lust”, I used the remix decks of Traktor for the first time, tried knobs I never dared to fiddle with before and the Andre Harris accapella is fitting for the intention of the set.Dawn from Pete Tong, I love this tune and goes right into my top ten for the year. “Fire” I sam happy of the edit and I feel the 20 minutes it starts with the Sami dee and Nina Bua jams to follow.Get Tiefer great deep tune from Germany, do not miss.Next set I will be back in full Soulful, fun, happy territory with a few tunes I have gleamed recently and a few remix of current tunes I would like to have a play with. Enjoy Xtian

Transitions 3.0 (For My Brother without whom none of this would have come about) When did you last listen to Pink Floyd?... Well here is your chance.. (Denis va directement a 31:45 jusqu'à 59:30 c’est pour toi!) Continuing my experimental sets with a foray into Progressive House, Progressive Rock and Trance. This is a nocturnal vibe set, therefore grab a book or set yourself some time aside to meditate or ... who knows? prepare yourselves to do the deed... This is a set for the mind and the soul.. One hundred years ago, my big. Big brother forced unto me HIS Long Plays … For those children of the digital age, who do not know what a LP is, well, it was made out of wax, it was circular and it was analog.. It had a beautiful cover, it was tactile and it could not be ripped nor copied.. and as far as my brother was concern his LP's were out of bounds for his little brother..From the tail end of the Beatles to Pink Floyd, The Who ( their Rock Opera period), Genesis, Emerson Lake & Palmer, King Crimson, Robert Fripp, Procol Harum, Jeff Beck, Traffic, Bowie, Eno, Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Peter Gabriel, Supertramp, the Cure and up to New Order, my BIG brother made me listen to his records.. I really had no choice .. It was his music or else…What I now fully realize is how much my musical space is partly grounded in his foundations.. And by all means... they weren’t bad ones..I added Classical and Choir Music and ON MY OWN ;) … discovered Funk and Soul… But my love for Trance, Tech and Progressive House has undoubtedly its roots in my brother’s record collection.. Bless him and this one is for him.In "Transitions 3.0" expect instrumental well built tunes with chords progressions, minor keys, synth pads, guitar solos and tubular bells. Also expect songs with a message, syncopated beats and all throughout pulsating basslines.. Basslines not just here to give the punter a sense of the beat to folllow, but basslines that either support and enhance the tune or bring a whole new melodic dimension.A far from faultless set but I have collected for you some truly epic tunes and hey… when was the last time you listen to Pink Floyd?Playlist: 2012 Make It Happen (Manu Riga Come Back Remix) [Xtian Resist Edit feat Roland Clark].

But could I really not play a new Chicane? Do not miss!!!"Make it Happen" a techie number with a bassline to die for and very rolling synth pads. “How Never” ( check out the Zoo Brazil remix on Beatport) anothe techie number with amazing percussions and tight beats all supported by a massive bass and turned etheral by an amazing vocalist whose anme I could not find anywhere..“Before I Lose Control” from Betoko, HUGE downtempo track yet driving little hell.. Listen to the bass, it is a masterpiece of subtlety, a bass used like a violin to uncover another melodic line... This begs for a more aggresive remix... "Moonlight" LOVE THIS.. chiil out acoustic guitar, synth, haunting bassline, tight percusions and great progressions.. You will love it.. This would kill if dropped at the right time... If you liked Guitarra G from Banda Sonora, get this track..I absolutely LOVE the Seaman’s track “K9” with its Tubular bells. Proggresive House at tis very, very best.. And the drop of the bells.. Pure genius!My little Pink Floyd medley is more a trip down memory lane than anything particularly amazing but it just came.. brought by the previous track as a reminder that music did not start with EDM.. and Time Wasted is a very clever modern uptake on the PF classic.I chose to put  “Requiem” as the last track. Indie Rock, Progreesive House who knws? Who cares.. It reminds me of the haunting voice of Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan of the Cranberries famous. Truly Amazing and this the standout track of this set with “K9”."The Ones That Get Away" I used this track previously, classic trance and I needed to put a bit of a kick in the mix after the classic "Time."As the length of the highlight section shows, I had fun with this episode. I truly hope you will enjoy it as much as I do. It is on repeat in my car and I NEVER listen to my sets once published... Merci Denis.. Xtian P.S.: as to the Mr V sample at the start of Time.. if anyone think I take myself seriously doing this... they have never met me.. The sample just felt right and yes... I had fun!

Transitions 2.0Take a Moment to Live...Take a Moment to Cry.....Take a Moment to Love... ...and don't ask why.......Faster, Harder but Fun!  I am still in reboot & discovery mode but you can start dusting off your dancing shoes because with Transitions 2.0 ... we are cranking it up a bit.My intention was similar to the previous one.. but I am starting to have fun with those tracks.. It's Progressive House & Progressive Indie Rock.. with a touch of Trance here and there..Episode “for the Boys” or "For the girls who like those Boys".  Darker hours and Seedy Rooms.. If you can't dance you watch... ;)Playlist: 2012 Take A Moment (The Blizzard Intro Remix) ( Xtian Transcendental Edit feat. Anthony Joseph]. Armin van Buuren feat.

Shakedown 2012 Dice (Trendi Remix vs Extended Club Mix) [Xtian Added Pads & Guitars Edit]. Serge Devant feat. Hadley Highlights: all tracks are quality tunes in their own right. The Armin’s jam is a fitting intro track. I think “Torpor” is a great track presenting what good progressive house ought to be. “Noor” may be the discovery of the set for me. As for “Dice” nice to hear some actual electric guitars (not electronic ones) pervading the House/Trance scene. I had fun with this one and do believe it to be worth the space on your hard-drive Enjoy Xtian

Transitions 1.0Something different! With an overall darker mood yet on chilled side.At the congruence and confines of Deep & Progressive House, with some Tech & World Indie tunes I have gleamed and a very small dash of soft Trance..After last summer, I was literally housed-out. Particularly, I felt I had done the “best” I could do with soulful house tunes and needed a break from it.Listening to something unexpected, tackling new sounds, purchasing tunes from artists unknown to me became the priority of the day.Hence, for a few sets, I will delve into new directions, not radically out of my comfort zone but still a clear attempt to change soundscape.My intentions with Transitions 1.0 is to build a set. which we could easily listen to whilst working or reading, which would be in the background not in the forefront but which both your soul and your brain would want to go back to.Playlist 2012 Prayer (Gui Boratto Mix) {Xtian Urban Decay Edit].

There is intent in my madness and those tunes are worth the try! But if I had to hightlight any of them it would go like this:"Circles" by Evren Furtuna great track, "You'll See" do not miss and my edit is OK. "Almaty" mash-up I am satisfied with. "Buena Vista Park" great happy chilled track, which I will revisit.The 20 minutes build-up with the stems of an old favourite of mine, Kylie's "Breathe" from the techie "Let it Go" to Nalin's remix of "Breathe" is the stand-out here.I most probably will upload another 2 Transitions mixes before returning to my Deep & Soulful normal groove.EnjoyXtian   

Greek Sessions: The Sounds of Σπέτσαι (Happy Birthday Vivienne!) Viv’s birthday set, which means that my only objective was to mix tunes she would know and /or like "a la premiere ecoute".Pour yourselves a margarita or two, clear up the deck or  living room, for I bet that at some stage within the set you will either sing-along or have a bit of a dance.Happy House: a blend of soulful classics and funky current grooves. Very little if any acappellas as Viv hates them, just pure simple joyful music.A word on the Intro: Spetses, greek island in the Aegean sea, .where only taxis are allowed and one either walks, cycles or takes a horse carriage ride around the island. It is the family’s favourite place in the world and I first started mixing the Greek Sessions overlooking the sea sipping a frappe at the Spetses Hotel in July.Playlist: Intro Sounds of Spetses.

Kaysee 2009 The Light (UBP Classic Vox). Jamie Lewis & Michelle Weeks 2011 Missing (Samson Lewis Remix). U-Ness & JedSet  Highlights: I really love all the tunes but if I had to pick: “Someone like You” pure funky house bliss. “Nothing Can Come Between Us” and “Keep the Fire Burning”, classic remixes of the Nelson/Shane D. duet..” You Make Me Feel” DJ Meme massive remix produced by Frankie Knuckles is AAA+.I realized once I had mixed the set that it bears more than a resemblance with one of C&M’s latest… This is pure serendipity! Not that I compare myself with them (we are not operating in the same universe let’s be serious) but I really did not have their set in mind when I started mixing mine.Most probably I will go dark and trancy with my next one.Enjoy.Xtian

The Greek Sessions: Poolside in Santorini First of 3 if all goes to plan.Not my most polished upload, it would need another two night sessions of Love and Care but it is not going to happen...I got tired of it by the time the Olympic started and as my close friends would know, I am strenuously competing in the Armchair event.. Pool side mix, going from 120 to 126 bpm, full of goodies, full of edits but sloppy at times. On the plus side, it is a very current mix with all tracks but one released in June/July 2012. Playlist: Intro Arrival in Santorini. Courtesy of Hellenic 2009 Sinfonia Della Notte.

Jacqueline Gilbert Highlights:If you miss “Nothing Can Come Between Us” the reprise of Sade’s finest, do not worry.. it will headline the upcoming Greek Sessions: At The Bar in Spetses. LOSH rendition is very good."Keep The Fire Burning" first release of Stereo Flava the new Shane D label.. Soulful as one would expect.“Slow & Steady” great deep remix of Jonny Montana’s from the Swiss Purple Music genius Jaimie Lewis. “And The Music Play” by Jay C, catchy hook, perfect production!“Do Better”, I used the track before, will use it again, Layabouts on top of their game.. “Alone” Liquideep with Jaimie Lewis, do not miss, scroll if you must, track at the confine of nu-disco, indie and house.Moderately happy of my edits of "Conch" (top deep house from Spiritchaser) and “Do You Wanna” where I added beats synths and vocals. And From 10 to 14, I got where I wanted..As to "Call My Name", DJ Meme cannot do anything wrong.. I still remember an event in Melbourne, where he kept us going for 3 hours, as a warmer for Dimitri from Paris, whom (patriotism aside) brought everyone to sleep in 20 minutes flat..Not really promoting hard this set as a must hear/download.  It is now out of my system and I can go back to the TV and watch some more Olympic before Sunday.. Allez France!! Xtian

The 2012 Pirate Bar Set  I am back in Greece in the magnificent island of Hydra but sadly for one day only.It is summer, I felt a sun-drenched, beach house set was “de rigueur”.I prepared 120 minutes of melodic chilled house, hoping to drop the set at the best bar in Greece., the Pirate Bar. As a “Pirate Bar” set is becoming a yearly fixture for me, get ready, close your eyes and picture THIS: You start in the bliss of your hammock, shaded by a parasol, your skin softened by the Mediterranean sun.From the bliss of your afternoon rest, your head start shifting sensually to the right, to the left, with that distinctive shoulder roll. Your eyes still closed, you smile, you just smile to the music..Lazily sipping your frappe, you notice your feet rhythmically bouncing to the measure of those summer beats.Incrementally, your feet, your hands, your soul cannot resist…You stand up, arch your back and just know that you should let the music use you.Your hands up in the air now lasciviously following the sound, you start dancing on your feet, light in your head, soaking in the pure hedonistic pleasure of the summer sun and summer grooves. This is what happens at the Pirate Bar in Hydra… Go and see my friends Wendy, Zara, Zef and Takis and enjoy the very best hospitality Greece can offer..Playiist Intro The Movement (Speechacapella), Jonathan Ulysses 2012 Sage Comme Une Image (Spiller Remix) [Xtian Edit] .

Rhalmia 2012 Without you (Jamie Lewis Mastermix) [Xtian Serenity Edit]. Jamie Lewis & Marc Evans  Highlights: Loving the little French tune “Sage Comme un Image”, which I thought would set the light vibe I wanted to share.. “The Energy” from Oscar P and Rocco is a solid deep sensual track with “When it Flows” from Edmund and “ Summer Night“ anchoring the set in the summer vibe.With “Real Love” by Frankie Rizado, we are starting to wake up with a slightly techie gem.I do like the feel of my edit of “Cali” by DJ Fudge. The original is perfect but you all know my addiction to acapellas.. with Deeper Life continuing the Deep techie groove with a massive bassline.“Giving You The Light” (Shane D Remix)… this is the track that get’s you on your feet.. Perfect summer tune! And when you have Shane D, you know Grant Nelson cannot be too far away.. I am not sure that my attempt at mashing up Grant’s “Sundown” and “The Phuture Ain’t…” was absolutely necessary but the Boy needs to try all those buttons on the deck..“Save” by John Julius Knight is irresistible.. You NEED to pick up the sampling, it is pure genius..“I Need U Back” and “Music is High” are happy house tunes, with very, very clever pads.To close the mix we have the holy trinity: Purple Music, Jamie Lewis and Marc Evans.. House royalty.. Who can resist the Deepness of Marc Evans voice.. Not ME!! Without You will become a Marc Evans classic and you heard it first here! I actually give myself kudos for the little “Serenity” sample. This was the 2012 Pirate Bar Set…Come to the Pirate Bar, come to Hydra, come to Greece.. The Pirate Bar on the Web: http://www.piratebar.grThe Pirate Bar on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pirate-Bar-Hydra-Greece/223081831039926 Xtian

Connections...I thought of this set on CX104 going to China .. Up there above he clouds, I was reflecting on the many connections I've recently made with my music.. Through this site, through Facebook, through Souncloud.. Connections that thankfully transcend House Music, yet which House made possible.Here is to Connections, to friendships, to shared ideals, shared dreams & utopia, shared loves and hopes, shared strengths and weaknesses.. And Here is to Humanity, a purely magical word, which would lose its seminal meaning without Connections..Be ready for some well connected Sexy grooves with a few club current club bangers dropped in to get you going for Summer '012..Spare a thought for the Cathay crew on the plane, who got the disapproving glances when they wanted to..just do their jobs and to whom my eyes must have darted: " Buzz off ( or worse) I am IN THE MIX.. Can't you see!!"...Cover Art: a mathematical mapping of ALL the FB connections in the world in Dec 2010.. I am convinced that one could anticipate future conflicts just looking at the countries with the less connections..Playlist: Intro 2009 Connection (WMC 09 Sampler).

Heaven or Hell?Remember when you stumbled out and it was already well past dawn? Looking for the sunglasses and feeling like a Zombie in the Land of the Living.. Well.. this is the soundtrack to such a night..Quick & fun set I whipped up for my birthday. This is the original cut to which I added a Xtian Edit of Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls” (showing my venerable age right here..).R.I.P Donna the Disco Queen..I received a request a few weeks ago for the stems of a mash-up I posted 3 years ago of “I Kissed a Girl vs. Angel on my Shoulder”. A strike of pure genius from C&M! I could not find the original edit on my HD, hence I re-worked it live and included the result in the set. Scroll to around 36min 24s if you have no time for anything else..Blurb reduced to minimum required as I am leaving O/S and have little time to pontificate ;).Playlist Intro 2009 Do Yo House Dance?.

One takes a great song “Angel on my Shoulder” and has fun with IT. C&M perfection..And as it was my birthday mix, I revisited “Beautiful” and “Finally” just for ME!

Evolution… It began in Africa. Beware the first 35 minutes are naughty, one could say raunchy.. If you play it at work, it is at your own peril.. This is NOT background music for your sunday lunch if the folks are visiting..Naughty, Deep n' Sexy  and rhythmic episode. We start in Chicago and Detroit, where House began,  then slowly incorporate rhythmic roots from Africa, where " it all began", to finally fuse it up with Latin and Brazilian influences , all throughout with a distinct naughty undertone.The set is both a challenge and an experiment, hence the title “Evolution… It began in Africa “.A challenge, for I wanted to try rhythms and musical colours I usually shy away from.An experiment, for I tried to build the set without looking at the beatgrid as a "beast" I needed to "tame". In all fairness, with these percussions and syncopated beats, the visual beatgrid is normally useless. Yet, without the comfort of the software finding the beatgrid, I had to dig deep and feel when, where and how to blend in the different layers of sounds I wanted to play with. A challenge to say the least.. but I wanted to learn how to do it before going back to the security and bliss of pure soulful house..The first half hour is resolutely naughty to hook some of the listeners. Then, we dive into the rhythmic part with just enough sugar not to lose too many of you, to finally we settle in South America, a musical space I usually hardly cover. There are treasures buried deep into the mix and I will re-use some of them in my next set, which I promise, will NOT be a challenge but just a fun, upfront house, happy episode.Do not be taken aback with “It began in Africa”..  I really had to go there before dwelling back in my normal space. For this podcast to remain fun for me to do, I need to try new things and to…yes.. Evolve…Playlist Intro Talk Dirty to Me.

Blanco Y Negro feat. Jorge Montia  Highlights: not sure everyone will like the first 35 minutes but I sure had fun with the samples.."Can You Feel It" is smooth deep and sexy house. I personally love the rhythmic rendition of Dennis Ferrer's classic "Touched The Sky" the remixer on Soundcloud shifted the key. It is slightly off key and pure genius! "Domination" from Euphonik has all the wholemark of a future classic. " Mi Ma Bo" at the junction of Latin, Maanzi and pure house is the track that insipred the set.Do not miss "Yesterday's Gone" from Spiritchaser and the new Sandy Rivera with Kings of Tomorrow "Show Me".. I will resuse them both shortly. They should not be buried in a somewhat personal set like this one.I hope some of you will actually stay with me on this one and I absolutely promise that the next one with just be FUN.Xtian

Into the Deeper End Grab a book, dim the lights, ignite the candles, close your eyes and let yourselves go..After my foray into Tranceland, I felt the need to go Deep, with minimal to no samples , vocals, nor edits and just work on finding very current tunes from the Deeper end that would mix well.Some may find it boring, others will soak in it blissfully.11 out of 13 tracks were released from late march to late april 2012. It does not get more current than this. Playlist: Intro Black & White Dominations (Accapella). Euphonik feat. Madiba aka NM 2012 Keep On Wondering (Original mix).

Do You Remember Your First Time?Ready for a session in my beloved Trouse (Trance+House)? Prince, Chicane, Fragma, Morgan Page, Above & Beyond, Nadia Ali, Tritonal. Give me some credit for the talent I gathered in this one!Originally it was supposed to be 2 consecutive sets dwelling in my beloved fusion of Trance and House aka Trouse. Depending if I want to spend another fortnight at 135 bpm, I may or may not upload the second part.To be consumed ONLY if you feel like pick-me-up & wake-me-up music. This is not a lounge mix! This is T R O U S E... and my aim is to get you on your feet..Some very VERY good tracks are included, showcasing the current artists visiting Melbourne: Prince (do not miss “Dance 4 me”) and Morgan Page (who is up for it on the 5th of May?).Get ready to feel the urge, put your dancing shoes and dive back into Xtian’s Trouse.Playlist Intro Your First Time. Jason Jinx feat.

Such a great tune, Trance/Prog House at its most clever.."Broken Down" from Tritonal, though I did butcher the intro for the purpose of the set, classic trouse track and the overall feeling is still there. Morgan Page is in town and it was high time to use "In the Air" and dwell back into "The Longest Road" feat. Lissie a favourite of mine.Chicane: I love "Going Deep", the fusion of trip-hop, rap and trance/prog may annoy the Purists but is original, inspired and as far as I am concerned up there with the best of Faithless. Buy the new Chicane album, you will like it!"Dance 4 Me" Prince is back in Melbourne and the collaboration with Purple Music (Jaime Lewis label) is fantastic. It is sexy, very Price yet very now.. Do not miss it."Free to Go" new track featuring Nadia Ali.. Can she do antyhing wrong?And we finish with 2 Fragma tracks. The Spaniards are in great form. Balearic prog house with "What Love Can Do", which I edited Ibiza style with Otra Vez and "Thousand Times", which could become my kids new fav jam..Hope you like it!  

For a Modern Family ( Cos' You're Beautiful) Set mixed with my 2 dear friends, J & V, in  mind.  With all my love and support before the new arrival. J this is is FOR YOU! Happy, sweet, beachy tunes with a couple of new twists on old favoutites such as “Missing” and “ Beautiful” . Viv and I use to hum “ Beautiful” when Luc was born, I hope this set will be your theme song as well.Playlist Intro Come With Me ( Martin Solveig sample) 2011 Way Back (DJ Smash Brooklyn Tech Vocal Mix).

Lorena  Highlights: another set where DJ Jask is heavily featured. To note big focus on Random Soul, Australian based producers/remixers, which recent releases have been nothing short of sheer perfection. Do not miss the bootleg mash-up of "Missing and Tu Lado" nor the very recently released new remix of" Beautiful" ( the Coqui remix is up there). Missing and Beautiful being up there in my Valhalla of house tunes, whenever I get get my hands on a new take, I am in house heaven.As to the Random Soul/Andy Ward tracks, give them a listen and celebrate our homegrown talent. Nothing ground-breaking in this upload but it should be a very enjoyable set.

**WARNING NOT FOR MINORS **Deep in my kind of GrooveA few months ago this podcast was selected (as part of a random sample of online music), for a doctoral study by the Musicology Dept of UMich. Amongst the "open" questions I was asked was the following one: " Are there any of your sets you would like to make public but haven't due to self-censorship or fear that your target audience will not be interested?"Got me thinking..This set is an example of what I would not have normaly published.. Yet.. it is MY KIND OF GROOVE.. It has a bit of sugar, a bit on underground house, great deep meaningful tunes and a dash of indie/house and lots of vocal samples.By "my kind of groove" I do not infer that this music is "better" or anything of the sort.. Just that it is "my kind of Groove.."**WARNING NOT FOR MINORS **Before I get any messages and/or rantings on promotings drugs, let me make the following crystal clear: I do not condone drugs, prescribed or illegal. Drugs f@ck up people. As to marijuana in particular, the research is there for everyone to make the educated clever choice. There is a clear correlation between Marijuana and psychotic episodes on younger not fully formed brains. This is not an inference, but a statiscally significant correlation between usage and mental health in 15 to 25 y.o. Since the research cannot identify the genetic cluster, using Dope puts young minds at risk as no one knows if he/she may or may not be affected. So DRUGS NOT MY KIND OF GROOVE AT ALL... MUSIC YES!This being said why did I use the 50's samples? Because this mix is, as said in the Intro, what I had mixed but never wanted to publickly upload.. And if you follow me, you know that I have a HUGE weakness for vocal samples.. Be it cinematic or doctoral lectures etc.. And I was not going to sit on this sample forever!!Playlist Intro How To Smoke A Joint Acapella.

Agev Munsen & Roland Clark Highlights: there is a bit of everything in this set but "The Phuture Ain't What It Used to Be", "Velvet Touch" examplify the crossover existing today between Indie and House. House has always fused with whatever the main underground currents of the times are and fusing with Indie will just give our scene the creators and edges it needs."Love da Records", "The Thing About Deep" & "All This Love For You" are the Deep sounds I love with vocals that fits and talks to us.Christian 

2012-02-24 Happy Valentine’s Day ( Bonne St. Valentin )As the Intro says “ For all the lovers in the House tonight”.First mix of 2012.. All about Divas.. pity I did not have time to slot in Whitney, she would have blended right in..A blend of classic, soulful, funky vocal gems scattered on my hard drive. My Valentine's gift to the House community at large. Whilst it is far from buying as polished as I would have liked it to be (little spare time currently), the set is solid and ought to bring a smile on your face. At the very minimum, you will have to love the female vocalists displayed here. One of the few criteria I gave myself to choose the playlist, was that the vocals had to be interpreted not just belted in pre-mix production and that most songs had to be "happy"..It does start on the slow side, but do not get the wrong impression, you will sing-a -long and be on your feet by the end of the set.In there ( scroll to 15m20s) a very, very special unreleased mash-up by Grant Nelson of “Fade” and “ Sun in my Eyes” straight from his secret DJ stash, which I caught on his podcast . As I am sure that I am more than twisting the copyright rules to even use it, I have asked for his permission.. If I were to be told to disallow the downloads, I will do it immediately.. So you better rush and download this just in case.. because the talent and creation shown here by the Admiral Nelson are just amazing!Playlist  2006 Fade (Original Pt. I & II)( Dr Feelgood Edit).

The Source feat Candi Staton  Highlights: too many! "Fade" a track I did not know before hearing Nelson’s mash-up) is just beautiful, with crafted ethereal vocals.. “Sun in my Eyes” always been one of my favourite jam, with great vocals, lyrics that actually make sense, just perfect. “Never Let the Sun Fade” is Grant Nelson’s mash-ups, which I just borrowed and tried to connect with the original mix. “Cuddly Toy” old anthem, amazing re-interpretation from Beverley Knight and Soul UK.. Her take on “Mama Used to Say” is funky, yet soulful.. a real House diva. “I Can’t Stop” fun and just dropped naturally in the middle of the set.. “So Many Times” one of my top five tracks and since this was a valentine present, I wanted to slot it in for Vivienne. Finally “You Got the Love” … Mark Knight & Florence & the Machine remix of this seminal  house anthem.. with the original to follow to fittingly end this Valentine mix.. Hope you love this set  as much as I do  (in spite of the “rush to publish” aspect).

NY7 4/30 ... Title is a little brain teaser ... Work it out.I was working on what could be on the menu for New Year's and whipped this one off in no time. Semi-live, straight out of Traktor with no re-editing or re-mastering whatsoever.. So compared with the 50+ versions I normally do, this is a tad raw and unpolished.Funky tunes, upbeat, catchy French and Balearic Trance & House.. Being doubtful this trial for a New Year set will fit the crowd on the day, though I will use some of it, I am uploading it for the younger crowd (hint, hint for the title).It's a fun, sometimes trancy, sometimes housy, sometimes trousy set with a few new tunes and a lot of Xtian's edits and retake on old favourites of ours.Playlist ( I will put all details later, this is just by memory) Intro System Check Far l'Amore Medley (Roul & Doors & Franky Rizardo Alternative Remix) [Xtian Edit].

Jerome Syndenham, Supernova, Martinn Van Helden Freed from Desire. Steve Forest Highlights: well...my kids like "Far l'Amore" typical French house from Bob Sinclar and I love the piano crescendos of "Rain" (that I will use on NY). Always fun to use new takes on "Everytime You Need Me " and Toca's Miracle from Fragma.SOS is maybe the tune I prefer as I had forgotten it at the bottom of the crate. "Lady" a 2011 remix of the old french house anthem.I went completely overlength with the "Strings of Life" edit but once it is cut down to an acceptable length, it will work its magic.. "Freed From Desire", well another party anthem.. As you can see, we are not breaking any grounds here.Finishing the "uber-structure" of the New Year set tonight, with a little bit of this one  sprinkled throughout but targeted to a more discerning (read mature) crowd!!See you in the New Year. Happy 2012!

Liquid Trance Mission.On a Trance Mission! If you do not like trance, be it a 120 or 140 bpm, keep well away! You are warned! But if you are missing those days, download or stream and DO NOT SCROLL, this set is a Journey !!!Once upon a time in Melbourne, Australia, there was an underground dance collective called “Liquid”.It was a private, somewhat secret, dance club, which, once every two months, would send an sms to its members and announce on the day where the next reunion would be.Members were co-opted, with a one gig trial, whence if you did not fit, you were blacklisted with no second chance.Liquid was all about the music and the dance. What Liquid was NOT about was the clothes, the stilettoes, the designer hand-bags and the pre-requisite to “get sorted beforehand” (it was not about that either.). The only pre-requisites were: a bottle of water, good comfy trainers, a positive attitude and an able pair of dancing legs..This community was diverse: the occasional pre-nekos mixing it up with the fluo & vinyl trance heads, the baggy tracksuit crowd and the somewhat more stylish goers. Yet, for all its diversity, it was a sharply homogenous group sharing a love for dance and music between like-minded peaceful people. They would not really hang out socially but for those few Liquid nights, it was strictly all about the DANCE!The music was mainly Trance (the 80s/90’s Ibiza style), not the hard crap but more the classical/vocal happy trance and what we did not know at the time was going to become Progressive House. The night was always a journey and when the DJ was dropping the 135 bpm + tunes, we were just soaking it in as it was only delivered at the very peak off the journey.This was SO last century.. 15 YEARS AGO.This set is the soundtrack of what a "Liquid" night could be, if held today!If anyone of those by-gone years read and hear this ( I won’t name and shame any of us) this is for YOU and ME!Playlist2011 Thing Called Love (Arkum Filmscape vs. Andrew Mayer vs. PROFF vs Above & Beyond Clum Remix) [Xtian Mash-up and Edit w/Senheuser Samples & Pads).

Armin van Buuren feat Nadia Ali2011 Pressure (Clokx Extended Commercial Remix). Alex Kenji, Starkillers, & Nadia Ali2011 We Control the Sunlight (Original Mix). Aly & Fila feat Jwaydan Highlights: “No One on Earth” and “Love Is Not Enough” two A&B tracks are a cut above the rest, both courtesy of Christopher Doyle. I added Synth & pads but the structure of both tunes is so classical, the vocals so pure, this is Trance heaven. “Lonely Girl” is a catchy, hands up in the air Trance jam and will undoubtedly feature in my NY set.Armin’s “Fallen Away” being such a rip off (surely intentional and credited) of 4 Strings ‘ “Take Me Away”, they had to follow each other in spite of my original intention not to use tunes I knew. As for Nadia Ali, well, I cannot go into Trance/Progressive House and not include something of Nadia.Finally, “We Control the Sunlight”, I could see with Viv & the kids when I played the set for them that such a frantic pace was pushing the boundary but somehow I felt that it was the peak time tune befitting the end of the set..Next upload will feature original takes on tunes we all know, more progressive & commercial than pure Trance… We are off to my beloved Trouse.Xtian

2011 Dec "Take Your Time Young Man.."Obviously a wink and a nod to the mini "Mama Used to Say" mix and a private message to my nine year old son..I am almost” housed-out” running out of good material and about to venture into Tranceland to get ready for the end of year festivities... Furthermore, in light of valuable comments posted on the web, I must confess that I did listen and have consequently tamed down the “gratuitous” sampling in this episode.The gist of “Take Your Time Young Man” is to transport the listener from a deep/techy groove (I need street cred ;) ) to a happy, funky place by the end of the set. I will have you on your tippy toes dancing around the room within a very small half hour!We start comfortably sat in Barcelona chairs in the back room, with a low, deep underground club vibe, filtered and tweaked to the max all destined to awaken your aural senses . Do not be discouraged ! Slowly some snippets of funk are introduced and sure enough we progress to an old skool soulful place to accommodate the glucose addict residing in all of us. Finally, we leave our comfy chairs, step in the main room and shake our collective a$$es to big club tunes…Well, at least this was the initial idea. If by the end of this set, you have not felt the urge to stamp your feet and lift your hands… I simply failed…A mini-mix, within the mix, with “Mama Used to Say” which, I thought would be a fun old skool tune for my children to be introduced to onto a Sandy Rivera’s extravaganza to mark his full return to big tunes in 2012. Playlist 2011 Brooklyn Bullets (Original Mix) [Xtian Mr Dj Edit].

April 2011 Love (Original vs. Daddy’s Groove Remix ).Sandy Rivera & Yasmeen Highlights: there are no weak tunes in this mix and I am surprised how current it turn out to be (many tracks released in the 3rd quarter of 2011). To raise my street cred I had a play with the 2 fist tracks with filters etc.. But from " Deep House (Inside Me)" you are in pure house bliss. I absolutely love the retake of "Mama Used to Say", so melodic, so well well produced and Akram Sedkaoui has a crystal voice. Those guys brought us "Each & Everyda"y this year, they are on a roll!In "Walk Away" ATFC teamed up with Lisa Shaw and showed that all we need is a great vocalist, a great tune and great production.. Not so hard ;).. "Stealing Love" from Grant Nelson, need I say more.. And then I had a play with Sandy Rivera's  great tunes of the year.. with a remix of "I Need to Love Me" not to miss.To  sum up, it would appear that the "old guys" Grant Nelson, Rivera, Layabouts, ATFC has showing all the young ones, that they can wipe them off the charts at any time.. Travelling to Tranceland (unless I managed to finish off one mix I have on the hard drive and can't wrap up) as I need to prepare a New Eve Set.. and a brand new Traktor S2 deck is waiting for me still in the box.. Panting in anticipation..

Just Come with Me!Here is what I got up to whilst travelling in Asia..Deep House with a soft & sexy undertone, add a sprinkling of tech-house with a dash of hip-hop. The ambition of blending it all might have been betrayed by the execution but what the heck.. I had fun with this one.Join my journey and fly with me into the Deeper, sexy side. The set is melodic but eclectic and at times...challenging. It includes some original edits and two samples, which I could not identify (though I am sure some of you will), taken from C&M Production's sets. From 118 to 127 bpm, with loops , sliced beats, samples and change of keys We are travelling at the rather gregarious speed of sound (not the speed of light), towards a Deep n' Sexy climax... Just come with me ;)To consume at work, at home or for a long journey.It starts as a very accesible chill/lounge set but might challenge some listeners later into the mix. My advice, just let it roll and take you over.I had 3 hours of new tunes mixed ( all courtesy of the long flights to and from Australia), I will post the second part once I see how this one is received.Playlist Intro Deep House Airlines (Generic) [Original Accappella].

Carmen Sherry Outro Deep House Airlines (Final Decent Speech). Mr. V.  Highlights: Shur I Khan "The Sun Rising" is a ripper tune, rich, very well produced. "Night Time" (Crazy Penis Remix) reminds me of Faithless ( now here is a mash-up idea for the future), "Sweet Melody" is just that.. As to the Aki Bergen jams ending the mix, they all point out to an artist producing faultless rich Deep gems...I have 2 sets lined up, the continuation of this one and the up-tempo mix I have been unable to wrap up for a month. I also have the vague outline of a trancy/house set, which I will have ready for the Xmas/NYE parties to come..

To Chill, to Lounge, to Cuddle, to Love, to softly Dance but MOSTLY to immerse yourself in the Music! Chill house music with at the beginning a distinct ambient vibe.This set will make you... Happy.. This set will make you...Smile.. When was the last time you heard 16 good tunes in a row? This is Cafe Del Mar and Hotel Costes as they should have stayed, but the faulty amateur version :) A collection of my favourite chill-out beach tunes.. All (but one) chosen for their melodic and musical perfection, their amazing harmonies, their flawless production and mastering.. I've had a version of this set on the drive for a while. Since I am struggling with my next up-tempo one, I thought it was high time, to polish, dust & finish this down-tempo one, add a few current tunes and give it a geeky fun intro.I am telling you.. this one is worth the space on your hard drive..A word on the title & the picture : Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) is the radiation left over from early development of the universe, basically this picture (NASA) is the closest we will ever get to "see" the Bing Bang.. Before this moment.. no light.. hence no image.. When some unruly Swiss neutrino, which apparently travelled faster than light, appeared on the news last week, I had a little epiphany and the Geek in me took over.. Anyhow, what you see here is well.. Everything, you, me and the complete universe and even Unkle Albert... just really, really, REALLY young..

Jennifer Wallace  Highlight: All tunes are good (really) but..Do not Miss "Lost Soul" from Bliss because of my intro, this is pure perfection.. Not House just pure perfection in melody, harmony etc.. "Universal Unfolding".. a classic balearic offering with a fun upbeat remix to follow.. "Snow White" one of those small tune, which grows on you. "Perfectly" from The Layabouts.. no need to say anything just listen.. "We Fall Down" a gem as well.. Told you everything is good in this one.. Woah.. well I needed something for the bridge and match the beat so.. here it is and also I thought the Beatles lyrics sample was unexpected and interesting..Enjoy... 

Sarah, this one is for you! Safe travel. We shall miss Bear and are expecting to be kept informed of its future Catalonian adventures.. Incidently we will miss you as well..For the Barcelona bound Sarah & Bear: a vocal, beachy, breeezy, groovy and sometimes deep set. Beffiting the occasion of your going away.. with schadenfreunde, lots of sugar but also a dollop of spices and a dash of tears.Initially mixed in Russia but recompiled here to fit the occasion andgive the new KOT " I Need to Love Me" the lead of the set...Current tunes but with a couple of oldies, ranging from Deep jams to Nu-Disco.. Some purists will pass on this one but rest assured that it is a very worked set with happy tunes and sun-rays all along.. 2011 I Need To Love Me (Sandy Rivera's Club Mix [w/Mr. V & DJ Roland Clark Accapellas].

April Highlights: I reordered (remixed) the whole set to present you with the newest release of KOT " I need to Love Me" as I thought it ought to open the set in case some of you only stream the first 5' ( how dare you? ;). Fantastic track and Sandy Rivera is now back in full force. The classic Frankie Knuckles/J. Principle "I'll take you there" was in my bag for a while but I was waiting for the right remix to include it ( Frankie Knuckles...another one having a good year). "The Cure & The Cause" included because it is one of my favourtie tracks for the past 5 years and I was listening to a fab set from C&M whilst travelling and thought it was high time to revisit the DJ Meme remix. More current "In It Together" from Human life, the club hit of the 2011 summer, Knuckles' remix, what more can be said.. And "Take Me Back" Sandy Rivera feat. April to bring the set to a close in a nice loop with the intro tune.Enjoy, might be too vocal, too commercial, too beach for some House afficionados but perfectly filtting for Sarah's going away and was what came out of the bag in the second week of my Russian trip..

If any of you do not know what Deep Houseis , this set is a good introduction to it.. Deep House is what you put when you want to read a book or when you do not want the music to directly take over your mind but insideously and slowly you WILL fall under the spell of the Deep..This is my take on Deep. Mixed whilst I was going "Deep in China", on the road for 5 days.. Hope you enjoy!  Intro Praeludium Herb’s House 2010 D O U H M (Original Mix).

Viv's birthday mix... χρόνια πολλά! Bon Anniversaire! Happy Birthday!A happy "wake-me up" mix of trance with a dash of progressive house. If you yearn for uplifting trouse, this is a fair set..The household had been asking for some new tunes and I could hardly cut them my next one "Aural Sex" without social services intervening. And all up, Trouse is what Viv likes the most..I hope you like it V. I certainly had fun mixing it. I still can't really use my left arm so please do not expect flawless output from me..Tracklist 2010 No Superstar (Daz Bailey Remix) [Xtian Trouse DJ Spen Love Edit].

Julie McKnight 2011 Finally (Avicii’s Sunshine YouTube Bootleg) [Xtian WTF Filtered Extended Edit]. Kings of Tomorrow feat. Julie McKnight Highlights: well looking at the playlist, I managed to pull out a farily current set without too many repeats of previous jams. "No Superstar" killer euro tune with Mr Pink vocals. I quite like my take on "Keep On Rising" with the Turkish sample but I am partial."How Would You Feel" old David Morales tune which I love seeing my kids dance to.. The trance mix of "Bodyswerve" is another family favourite and Morillo's "Stronger" might become an anthem... As for the Avicii's take on "Finally" this one is thanks to my nephew... The file's encoding is very average, as it is a YouTube bootleg, but is a sure buy as soon as it is commercially released. Thanks to Hugo & Julian for making me aware of it and I hope you like the Xtian WTF Extended Version. Cheers & Enjoy

Once a year or so, I have this yearning to play around with the most erotic, sensual, sexiest, naughty and most explicit tunes I collect.And it becomes a Darkroom Mix... For late at night, when things get hazy. This one is all about Sex and is NOT suitable for children. You are forewarned.This set is far from being technically perfect but the idea is that once you get into the groove, you will want to see how naughty I got...What tickles my fancy can be a rythm, a beat, lyrics, a performer, a voice.. Any cathalyst to that "ummm" feeling.. And Kim Cooper, Club 69 & Jamie Lewis would be the absolute top in that Genre.Next week we are going to celebrate the 50th of "F" and this set is in many a way most fitting.So, not for Victorian prudes, not politically correct, and yet very, very clever tunes and an hommage to one of my favourite genre: Adult Sexy House! Some jams I had already played with but many I am using for the very first time...So sit back, listen and enjoy...Tracklist: Orgasmic Intro.

Kim Cooper  Highlights: "Let Me Be Your Underwear", "Fantasy" and "So Sexy" are tunes you do not want to miss. Kim Cooper at the top of her form. I love the nice sexy house groove of "Black Heels" and I am pretty sastified of my edit/mash-up/remix of "We love this Music" and "I'll House You".. I'll will use this again...Come on let's be naughty together...  

Set dropped for Wendy, Zara, Takis & Zeus at the Pirate Bar in Hydra, Greece. For the coolest bar on the port of Hydra, for our dear, dear friends, I am uploading this set, which is a slightly expanded version of the live set.Only 45 minutes of the set were usable but I hope the extended version retains that “live feel”. Groovy, sun-filled grooves with a slight gospel edge.. Jamie Lewis would be my favourite live DJ, Remixer, Producer and Creator , so here is the selection.. Beyond JL’s jams, I added a few tunes I recently downloaded to celebrate the 10th anniversary of THE ANTHEM “Finally” from Kings of Tomorrow. Rush to traxsource.com or defected.com to buy those 2011 remixes, they are amazing!Enjoy this one! I hope you get the live vibe..Tracklist Hooked On You (Jamie Lewis Main Mix) [I’m Inspired Xtian Edit Audiowhores & Roland Clark]. Cerrone Feat.

This one is for my kids.. We made a deal: They promised that they would behave in the car if I made them their own Mix and if I were to actually publish it.. Here it is. More of a mixtape collection of their favourite current tunes than anything else.. at best this is a 'radio mix".. I did not want to spend too much time on it and really neither Charlie nor Lola really care whether it was carefully mixed and remastered.. They just want to hear THEIR tunes over and over and over and over again!A bit trancy, very Euro-Dance with some older french refreshed tunes upon which I set my new found Traktor (non)skills.. Pour les francais, je me suis beaucoup amuse a editer des vieux trucs que j'ecoutais quand j'etais bien plus jeune. Intro Charlie has this little sister Lola 2009  Ella Elle l'a (Fugitive Elle a Tout Remix ) [Xtian Edit]. Kate Ryan 2009 Babacar (Extended Mix) [Xtian Filtered Edit].

Nadja 2011 Everytime You Need Me 2011 (Extended Mix).  Fragma 2009 Ella Elle l’a (Jerry Ropero Bigroom Remix) [Xtian Edit). Kate Ryan 2011 Take Over Control (Twohousebrothers Remix) [Xtian Charlie & Lola Dub]. Afrojack feat Eva Simons             Highlights: French tunes most of you will have never heard and probably will never want to hear again.. BUT I grew up with the original tracks and this was an "emotional" trip down memory lane (you know before mobiles..). "Ella Elle l'a" is a good tune (France Gall's original). The Deadmau5 remix of "Happiness" makes the tune bearable and it is nice to see a vocal trance classic like Fragma's "Everytime You Need Me" getting the remix treatment. And I do like my stripped version of "Take Over Control" (without the electro bit).Not really a must download unless you are a (tragic) die-hard fun OR if you want to have some french dance/trance on your hard drive. But a happy, up Up UP mix..

Plug It In & Turn Me On (Pt.2) aka "Denise's Birthday Treat".Denise: I do hope you like the "treat"... I know I am late but it took a while to get it right.. Furthermore good luck on your new adventure..Picking up where I left it with Part 1. Funky Sexy House & Trouse. Put on your dancing shoes, drop your inhibitions and let yourselves go. Current House/Trouse with a couple of oldies. A Xtian original with the "Yak Yaak Boom" edit of King of My Castle (my first GarageBand venture so be kind..). A set mainly for the younger generation but who knows...Mixed without proper gear , still I dare you not to have your feet urging for a dance once you get 30 mins in this probably Cheesy but effective set.

Nadia Ali       2008 Rapture (Riva Mix). Iio 2010 Rapture (Avicii New Generation Remix). Nadia Ali 2011 Take Over Control (Spencer & Hill Mix). Afrojack feat. Eva Simons Outro We Love House Accapella Dave Floyd & Pookie  Highlights: looking at the playlist, it seems I went on another Nadia Ali bender... Guilty as charged I love her voice.. The Avicii remix of "Rapture" is really a great uplifting take. "Call My Name" new track from Ms. Ali shows again what a great vocalist and songwriter she is. Somehow I fitted in Lady Gaga ( I did Rihanna in the Pt.1) and the Dave Aude remix is actually surprisingly good. "Fantasy" is there because for once I found a way to mix in a 135 bpm track and the Tritonal Remix is a smasher.I will return to Traktor next mix. Finally back to a decent set-up! My foray in funky House/Trouse is over for now... Back to Deep & Soulful.. Music my old bones can actually relate to. And no more titillating covers for a while.. Promise!

Hello and Happy New Year since this is the first instalment in 2011."Spring came early on Tahrir Square"To make clear this is NOT a political statement as such and I will moderate (delete ;=) any political rant if I were to get any. Furthermore, let me say that for Europeans I would be labelled as a rabid ultra-liberal neo-con and in the States as a pinky liberal socialist softy.. Funny how the word "liberal" takes opposite meanings accross the Atlantic divide.Anyhow, the mix came about when I heard the spontaneous song being broken into on Tahrir Square. It reminded me of what happened in Berlin 20 years ago ( I spent that New Year's in Germany), how hopeful people were and how elated I was to see the change happening in front of me. It turned out to be a change for good, I sincerely hope it will be the same for all the democratic movements in the Middle-East.A technical point, as I have no access to my music library (migrating platform) and no access to my gear, hence my absence since December, this mix was done on a notebook, with ipod headphones, a very limited choice of tools and tracks.. Rough & Raw... But I had to mark the occasion...Deep and a bit dark with a bit of sugar at the end... But with a conscience ;=) Intro Dubya 2011 Tahrir Square Protesters song (Xtian Butchered Edit) 2010 Snatches (Soul Minority Remix) Karol XVII & MB Valence 2009 Choices (the Layabouts Main Vocal Mix). The Layabouts & Kathy Brown 2008 Deep Beginning (Original mix) [Xtian Political Edit Sample]. Karol XVII, MB Valence 2009 Somewhere in Abha (Original mix) [Xtian Political Edit Sample]. Karol XVII & MB Valence 2009 M U S I C [Xtian Edit].

Raw, rough not particularly current but I do not really mind being back with this. Felt the urge..Highlights: Snatches & Deep beginning from Karol XVII & MB Valence nice deep house! Superman & Juju are fantastic example of Deep and Soulful House. And I love Osunlade's Pride with amazing vocals from Nadirah Shakoor.Will be back with something fun and current.Be kind to me with this one considering the intention and the absence of any gear.. 

The Love of Love, the Love of Deep House, the Love of Soul and the Love of Funk 2h20 mins of LOVE..I wanted Viv to like this one, hence, I had to try, whilst keeping it somewhat Deep to make it fun.. Jury is still out as to whether we will actually give it a tick of approval. As for me, I do love this set, which I see as one of my best efforts to create an original  soundscape. This version is Kathy G edit.. Thanks Kathy I am loving the collaboration! With you, I am learning that less is more...To be consumed at home or lounging with a with a nice cocktail in your hand. Or lazily in bed enjoying the first sunrays of the summer, which here is nigh.. All about Love (look at the Playlist titles..), Soul, and Groove. Give yourself 2h20 mins of bliss..A few new amazing tracks, some of which were only released last week on Traxsource, Beatport and Defected.. It does not get more current than this. Towards the end a Marc Evans' bender in order to keep Viv on board. Note to myself, if Marc Evans comes back to Melbourne, WE ARE GOING! Intro Muthafunka Who? DJ Spen & Dr Feelgood FSB feat.

"Way Back" Julius Papp's latest will, I know, reappear again & again here once I work it a bit. "Rainy Things", Jask's prescription, from Tomson And Benedict is such a layered and well produced deep tune. Quentin Harris' "Crazy" from his latest album, which is the House album of the Year. "Perfectly" Shea Soul's Layabouts Remix, a very current release. "Diamond Life" Louie Vega's collaboration with Julie Mcknight of "Finally" fame is also very pleasing.If you like Deep, Funky Grooves with a dollop of Soul, this episode is a MUST download!And thank you Viv, for having the patience to let me do... this. I love you! 

I Had a request from Viv (my wife !!) to do a fun, " hands up in the air", vocal trance/house mix for her and the kids. Here it is! Highlights are: Forever and a Day, massive tune from Fragma, and King of My Castle 2009 (what a remix!). I tried very hard to mix moroder style Donna Summer & Hey Hey Riva Starr (be kind) So handbags down on the ground, circle up and starts dancing.. This one is unashamedly vocal, commercial, discofied.. Yet, you'll find some gems such as the new Moroder style remix of Hey Hey and as ordered, it includes Viv's current favourite: Cheryl Cole's "3 Words"... And yes I Love You... too ;=)Playlist  Bruised Water (Adam K & Soha Club Mix) Chicane I Will Be Here (Wolfgang Gartner Remix) Tiësto & Sneaky Sound System When Love Takes Over (Norman Doray & Arno Cost Remix) David Guetta ft Kelly Rowland Deep At Night (Adam K & Soha Remix) Ercola vs. Heikki L Xtian edit w/Its So Easy Loveappella DJ Spen & the Muthafunkaz Forever And A Day (Christian Weber Remix) Fragma King Of My Castle 2009 (Dex Diamond Vocal Mix) Wamdue Project Feat.
