Out of the Darkness, Into the Light


Do 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..

Highlights:


Loving 1 through 5.


Great progressive trancy gems. Starting with Herr Semi \\u201cWandering\\u201d, Stars from Ed Lee and \\u201cLittle People\\u201d 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 \\u201cworked\\u201d 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 \\u201cYoung and Beautiful\\u201d, 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 \\u201cCrockett\\u2019s Theme\\u201d 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 \\u201cHow many semitones between this key and that key?\\u201d.. Working it out and getting it semi-right which was the highlight of the month for me..


Love \\u201cBlue Coast\\u201d nice little indie number where I have first\\xa0 used the re ix deck of my new toy ( New Tratktor S2).


\\u201cOrdinary People\\u201d and the double \\u201cNocturnal Dusk\\u201d and \\u201cNocturnal Dawn\\u201d 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 \\u201cOut of the Darkness and Into the Light\\u201d.


Hope you enjoy my tunes.
