Burn A Fire Mix

I had a lot of fun mixing these hefty drum and bass numbers. Things get dark. Things get trippy. And things get rather hectic, ripping through 46 tracks in just under two hours.

Restless Hearts Mix

I love music that captures conflicting emotions. Songs that are dark, ecstatic, emotional and most of all viscerally danceable. I’ve been listening to these tracks a lot lately. It’s time to shake things up.

This mix is fueled by amazing memories, as well as a great sadness that a like-minded individual and friend has died. The punk music in this mix is a fairly typical play list from the old days.

Ghost in a Tree Mix

Photo by John Morgan

I’ve been really into two fairly specific styles of track lately. One is spacey and moody, ethereal or ‘ghost-like.’ The other is more organic, with sounds sampled from ‘traditional’ instruments. This mix marries these two styles and incorporates a definite ‘tip of the hat’ to the classic early 90s era of electronic music.

This mix starts off in a chaise lounge at a day-party in my backyard (or yours), then after smoking too much weed it decides to go for an uneasy (yet psychedelically meaningful) walk. A little later it comes back to the party and ‘drinks the fear away’ while pumping up it’s bike tires to go for what turns out to be the sweetest, most epic seaside bike ride of all time.
