This excellent start leads into some more thoughtful melodic tracks (including <em>Sentimental Pain<\/em>, of course), with Transcend&#8217;s remix of <em>Isn&#8217;t it all a little strange <\/em>proving to be a nice bridge into the more UK-centric sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Some might not float my boat, but both the mixing and selection are solid and really well considered &#8211; that use of <em>Artifical Reality <\/em>as another bridge to switch things up again is a nice touch. Finishing with <em>Iron Sky <\/em>and Hyphen&#8217;s <em>Dryad Machine <\/em>remix nails the energetic melancholy that always works for a finale, taking things back to the Alek-esque atmosphere of the opening.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to FutureProof for promoting a variety of sounds in their mix series, and to Hedonistik for showing how a skilled DJ can travel the middle ground between the UK and Finland in fine style.<\/p>\n<p><strong>01.
