A study\\xa0at the\\xa0Montreal Neurological Institute at McGill University suggests that listening to music "can arouse feelings of euphoria and craving," even stimulating dopamine release in the brain \\u2014\\xa0a 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...

Highlights:
"The Bridge" from Jody\\xa0Wisternoff 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\\xa0Click, 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 \\u2013 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.
