Stressing Out

Ok. Thank you, man

Ok guys! I'm taking a 2 days out-of-work and will return next Wednesday, will ski for 3 days, and so I believe I won't be able to "be" here too much.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you, kwam. Have a nice vacation and a lot of fun skiing in the mountains. Uphhhh, I wish I also were somewhere on the snowy slopes! What could be better than the sun, frost, surrounding freedom and being just a wee bit

have a good one kwam! You deserve a break after all your successes!

nick_sun, What style of music do you like? I can probably give you a huge list. One of my passions.. used to be a 'semi-professional' club DJ - and had several singles released.

https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-nRn6K2vPhM - is one of the singles i had released (This is an edit i created for a video competition)

A couple more :-

Hi Hoista Your mixes are very nice

I would appreciate if you could recommend me some remix similar to Complicated - Paul van Dyk feat Ashley Tomberlin(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WOy4GrrQqA) - feel those high jumps and low falls? - or some other dynamic progressive house long mix.

right your after some more 'trancey' stuff. Prog house. Hmmm, prog breaks is an alternative, if its for essay righting, i recommend non-lyrical stuff. The human voice is a huge distraction.

You might want to try https://www.sanity.com.au/product/produc ... ku=1169173 (Hyper - Wired) It's breaks, but he's more prog style. DJ'd with him a few times when i was in London.

Not prog style but if you like it :- https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7EEea1DlXGs quite a famous tune now. The stanton warriors mix of this is my favourite.

https://www.juno.co.uk/products/262883-01.htm -> is a nice tune on a prog breaks tip


https://www.juno.co.uk is a great place to look for tunes.


On a retro tip , when i first got into trance in 1992/93, Germany was producing lots of great trance from the Eye-q and harthouse labels. https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ch6m01zyS ... re=related - one of my all times faves

If you want something more crazy, mid 90's (around 1995) Psychedelic Trance came through... Green Nuns of the revolution are one of the acts which came through :- https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ulPb4Bop624


For something a bit mellower, Children of the bong - https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=wzCmIlMpTGA
Saw these guys live in 1995/96 still on a trancey tip, but slightly more techno. They were supporting Autechre when i saw them. Probably the only time i bought a CD at a gig based on the strength of their music.

Currently, I'm more into this type of stuff :- https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u0HETa0X8j8 This is Plump DJs playing 'System Addict'

Evolution of my music taste goes along these lines :-
1992 - Hardcore -> Trance & Techno & Experimental Techno
1995 - Interest in Trance started to decrease after psychedelic trance came through, Experimental Techno interest increased.
1996 - Got into breaks and the intial big beat craze, techno interest started to decrease - around this time i saw Chemical Brother Live
1998 - Daft Punk Live!!! so still into the techno and funk combo. (Homework era)
1999/00 - Lost interest in techno, big beat tastes mutated into funky breaks and nu-skool breaks, plus started to get into filtered house (a la cassius)
2003- Purely into breaks... still at this point.

Usually i've been ahead of the 'game' in terms of musical genres that broke through. e.g. Trance broke through commercially when mixed with house around 1997 when Paul Oakenfold and his perfecto label brought it to the UK masses.
Big Beat came trhough in the late 90's and early 00's due to Fat Boy Slim (Everytbody loves a 303 is the tune which got me into big beat and it was only his second release on the Skint label (https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xTa-_3r-pf4) remember hearing it in 1996/97 for the first time

This https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=HDODGwtX7RA was probably the tune that got FBS famous.. Was used by so many tv shows!!!.. Used to go to 'Skint' at The End nightclub in the late 90's. Saw FBS many times as he was quite regular then and before it he became super-famous... Rockerfella skank took him into the commercial world. I remember hearing him play in in early 1998 at the club before it was released. Its somethig DJs do, you play out your recordings to gauge crowd reaction before releasing. That's what promo companies are used for. They distribute the records to DJs who send crows reaction reviews back. Then the record company can use this data to decide how many units to press. Used to get lots of promos back when i was DJing regularly.

Oooh Forgot about this tune :-

https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CQwz1040nuM Sabres of Paradise - SmokeBelch II (Beatless mix)
This was one of the tunes i used for my wedding

ooh forgot to mention.. If you want the lyrical trancey stuff Do a search for Plavka. She's worked with quite a few acts. https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=BUurZcuuPAs - probably the most famous of the tunes.

She's also done some stuff with rising high collective which i think is better - https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=T8cTyAn7lTQ (this is a hardfloor remix so is more on the acid tip)

if you want more 'intellectual trance' try cosmic baby - he's classically trained and applies some of that into his work https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=YpgQbWKKlOo
https://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xRHS9KkJm ... re=related
https://www.mp3sale.ru/release.php?ms_releaseid=44336 - Loops of infinity probably his most famous tune (impressionistic mix emphasises his classical training more)

Wow! What a review! Thank you, Hoista. You made my day - now I have the stuff to fill in the whole listening month with the new music That's wonderful!

No problem.. one of my `extra-curriculars`
