Frontiers #52 - October 2024

 

The average BPM of Frontiers is slowly creeping up, but I'm not complaining. Trance music is where my roots are, and I'm glad I've naturally found a way to have slower, melodic house coexist with it. I even managed to include a couple psy trance songs in this episode. Enjoy.

To commemorate this momentous occasion, this one is a full TWO HOUR mix - the first hour is the usual fare you've come to expect from me by now, while the second hour is a guestmix from my very good friend Mosphet featuring some faster trance music.

Thanks for sticking around for these 50 episodes. I hope you'll join me for another 50.

Frontiers #49 - July 2024

 

The initial premise behind Frontiers was to make DJ mixes that were more than just a weekly/monthly showcase of the latest music - I wanted to make something people (including myself) could enjoy listening to again and again. While the formula for that has undergone revisions and iterations over the last 49 episodes, the underlying principle hasn't.

For this month's episode, I wanted to experiment a little. Rather than have one downtempo track, why not have...four? Instead of starting at 120bpm, why not start around 100? Variety keeps things interesting, and this was a REALLY fun challenge for me to put together that I think serves as a pleasant deviation to listen to from my norm as well.

Frontiers #48 - June 2024

 

Summer is here now, and with it comes a new episode of Frontiers. I had a lot of fun mixing techno and slower/deep trance with this one, and while it's not the most "summery" sound, I think it's a fun time.

Frontiers #46 - April 2024

 

I'm alive! The first Frontiers of 2024 may be coming in April, but I haven't completely disappeared. My day job has made it difficult to find time for music lately, and all my remaining free time has been swallowed up by a certain Dungeons & Dragons-based video game. To make it up to you, I threw a few extra songs into this episode, so enjoy!
