Frontiers #19 - July 2021

 

Happy American Independence Day! With this new Frontiers mix, they're officially going on a regular upload schedule - I'll be releasing new ones the first Sunday of every month.

Following the same trend as last month's mix, this one builds to a huge crescendo before resolving into a calm, mellow conclusion. It's a very enjoyable ride to the end with a great mix of new and older tracks.

Frontiers #18 - June 2021

 

There's some absolutely sublime progressive tracks in this mix, and in my opinion some of the best transitions I've pulled off. The mix itself seems to be split pretty evenly into 3 sections: more traditional progressive house, darker stuff, then finally some light, airy, pleasant music to tie things off.
 
Also, for those interested, I now have a Discord server! I'm planning on starting regularly scheduled music production streams, among other things, so this will be the best way to keep up with me. Join here: https://discord.gg/4wR8GwyVKt

Frontiers #15 - December 2020

 

I'm back just in time to give you all a nice Christmas present in the form of another mix.

Somehow, I managed to squeeze 14 tracks into this one (instead of the usual 12). It starts off with some wonderful progressive breaks before leading into some deeper progressive house and techno, then builds into a nice climax that I'm sure you've all come to expect from my mixes by now.

Frontiers #14 - October 2020

 

Here's a new Frontiers mix, just in time for ~spooky season~ (though admittedly there's no "spooky" music in it whatsoever).  What there is is a remix of my song Supermassive, which is out now on Pure Trance.
 
(00:00) Farid - Isoreflection (Midnight Mix) [FSOE Parallels]
(06:49) Foxhill - Supermassive (Coredata Remix) [Pure Trance]

(54:39) Mavairic - Piece Of Me [FSOE Parallels]

Frontiers #13 - September 2020

 

Another September mix! Getting my hands on the intro mix of Nox Vahn & Marsh's track "Come Together" inspired me to whip one up.

This one's a bit more traditional progressive house all the way through. The first half is relaxing and melodic as usual, while the second half gets some nice, rhythmic grooves going. It's a treat all the way through (not that I'm biased or anything).

(00:00) Nox Vahn & Marsh - Come Together [Anjunadeep]
(07:22) Fluida - Not Alone [Anjunadeep]
(12:04) Dosem - Eternal Summer [Anjunadeep]
(16:14) Matt Fax - Fallen (PROFF Remix) [Colorize]
(20:57) Dezza - Tilt Shift [Colorize]
(24:18) Yotto & Lane 8 - Buggy [Odd One Out]
(29:55) Revolution8 & Amara - Savitri (Sunrise Mix) [Pure Trance]

(52:18) Jaytech - The Only One [Anjunabeats]
(56:18) Sunny Lax - Hallucination [Anjunabeats]

Frontiers #12 - September 2020

 

The first half of this mix is the very soothing progressive sound you've all come to expect from these "Frontiers" mixes by now, but the second half...oh boy. Let's just say that I hope you like techno.

(00:00) BT & Christian Burns - Save Me [Black Hole]
(03:33) Joseph Ray - Room 1.5 [Anjunadeep]
(09:55) Forerunners - Relic [Cycles]
(13:39) Pierce Fulton - Kuaga (Yotto Remix) [Cr2]

(48:55) Nox Vahn - RE-PROGRAM [Anjunadeep]
(53:27) Luminary - Amsterdam (Grum Remix) [Anjunabeats]

Frontiers #11 - August 2020

 

The first half of this August mix is again one of my favorite runs. Every transition is perfectly seamless and the songs all go together perfectly, as if they were made for each other.
 
This one in particular features some intense progressive house and techno in parts of it, even if it never breaks past 128bpm. It's a pretty fun exercise getting the more relaxed side of "progressive" music to coexist and interweave with the more energetic stuff, and I really feel that I'm starting to refine and nail down the sort of "sound" that I'm going for.

(00:00) Nox Vahn - Dream Of Love [Anjunadeep]
(05:46) Matt Fax ft. RBBTS - Set Your Sails (Braxton Remix) [Colorize]
(09:21) Lolo - Laia's Daydream (Airwave Breaks Mix) [Green Martian]

(20:37) Dosem - Stay True [Anjunadeep]
(25:14) ANUQRAM - Sirocco [Statement!]
(29:19) Spada - Part Of Me [Anjunadeep]
(34:26) ZOYA - Bright Star [Pure Progressive]
(39:03) Forty Cats - Imaginary Space [JOOF Aura]
(44:10) Yotto - Tarantia [Odd One Out]
(48:43) Bryn Liedl - Integration [Euphonic]
(52:43) Steve Brian & Patrik Humann - Jupiter Boulevard [Enhanced Progressive]

Frontiers #10 - July 2020

 

After the first March mix, this July 2020 mix was the next big home run. It's a great listen from start to finish with some amazing tracks and great transitions all the way through.

(00:00) Sound Quelle & Reskide - Krasa Rosa [Colorize]
(04:24) Leaving Laurel - Through And Through [Anjunadeep]

(53:55) Matt Fax - Could This Be [Colorize]

Frontiers #9 - June 2020

 

Aside from the first couple transitions which are admittedly a little rocky, this second June mix is a pretty solid listen.

(09:33) Tinlicker ft. Thomas Oliver - Need You [Anjunadeep]

Frontiers #7 - May 2020

 

Frontiers #7 was another attempt to replicate the formula that had made the first March mix so successful. Each mix is getting more consistent than the last.

Frontiers #5 - March 2020

 
 
Coming in right at the tail end of March, Frontiers #5 wasn't quite as nice in hindsight as its sibling, but still is a nice listen regardless.

(00:00) Nikola Melnikov & Max Sorokin - Sun Wakes Up Earlier Than All [Anjunadeep]
(07:03) Matt Fax ft. Ava Silver - The Wave [Colorize]
(11:28) Lumisade - RED [Statement!]

Frontiers #4 - March 2020

Frontiers #2 - January 2020

 
 
The second iteration of Frontiers, this one is rather more dance-y than the first. I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do with these, but you can hear I was beginning to narrow in.
