My mp3 player recently survived a deep-sea adventure in the washing machine, so I’ve once again been able to while away the hours on the train by checking out some new (and not-so-new) mixes. I thought it might be worth collecting them all together in one post – and if anyone happens to know of any other ‘must-listens’, maybe you could add a comment? There seems to be a lot of freeform\/NRG mixes around at the moment, so maybe this kind of round-up could become a regular thing (or as regular as my slack updating will allow, anyway).<\/p>\n

The first mix is Android Lime’s Alien Autopsy Promo<\/em><\/a>, which Guld recommended to me a while ago, and it’s easy to see why – this one’s dark and thumping all the way, and heavily weighted towards Adam Lab 4\/DJ X\/Proteus-style tracks. Anyway, it progresses really well, and takes a welcome turn for the more melodic towards the end of the mix – a nice touch, I reckon.<\/p>\n

The next mix is Sam One’s FINNISH 2008 HARDTRANCE SET<\/em><\/a> (click ‘Kuuntele’ to download). I’ve heard a few of Sami’s tunes on the Finrg Forum, but didn’t realise he’d already got enough for a solo artist mix like this. Even more surprising was the high standard of all the tunes – his melodies are really great in an uplifting-trance-but-still-NRG style.<\/p>\n

Here’s a mix I should have posted earlier – DJ Yousuke’s set<\/a> from this month’s NRGetic Romancer. Definitely one of his best so far; how he gets so much variety into a set, while making it flow so well, I’ll never know.<\/p>\n

DJ Rx recently posted up the Rx vs Alek Szahala live set<\/a> from last year’s Hakkapelitta Tour, and it’s a stormer, as you’d expect. In my too-picky opinion, the set doesn’t flow as well as it might have done with a few different track choices, but then that’s not the point of ‘vs’ sets, is it? Instead, this is a showcase of some of the best tunes that the two of them have to offer, and so you simply must give this one a listen.<\/p>\n

Another that I forgot to mention is Girdler Synthetic’s recently posted Energize<\/em><\/a> freeform mix. Some classic oldies on this one are mixed up with newer tunes from Alek Szahala, Epyx & Cyrez, A.M.S etc – well worth checking out, the combinations are very original. The opening few tracks are great choices, too.<\/p>\n
