Yeyo – Trancegiving Mix 2010

Since American Thanksgiving (one of the top two holidays in the world) is just around the corner, I thought it would be fitting to make another Trancegiving mix. The last one I made was in 2008, and that particular one had a chillier, colder feel to it to match that year’s weather conditions. The temperature in San Diego has been pretty warm this November, so I tried to set up a more pleasant, relaxed mood for this transition between summer and winter. The resulting product is one of the most chill mixes I have ever made. I tried to keep it as smooth and groovy as possible, while selecting tracks that contain the most auditory complexity. Many of the songs exhibit those thick, heavy layers to them, which almost led me to title this the Melted Mix Part II. I had a very special inspiration when I put this together, and I hope the theme is consistent from start to finish.

The first three songs are the intro tracks designed to warm you up. Karanda’s new Curveball sets things up nicely with a bouncy feel, and it mixes into Cayo Norte which has the talent of 4 great producers soaked into it. The mix journeys on with Midnight Run, a new deep track by Michael Woods. Track 4 is where the true voyage begins. JPL’s Young Love reminds me of so many things, with a tune so charming it has been replaying in my head for over a week. This is what young love should sound and feel like, with a wonderful bassline eclipsed only by its beautiful melody. The next track is a great collaboration between Cressida and Reminder. This German/Swiss joint effort works nicely as you can hear the styles of both artists blend fluidly into each other. Lucid is followed up by Foreverland, which is a fantastic new single off of Estiva’s recent EP. The next two songs, Rapsody and Endless Moments, turn things up a notch with a little bit more energy. As you may know, Rapsody and the Super8 & Tab remix of Perception are two of my favorite tracks released this year, so I undoubtedly had to incorporate them into this series. The mix carries on with some more solid tracks like Skytech’s Rocket Science, Tritonal’s Audio Rush, and the Ronski Speed remix of Sunrise. I like these tunes because all of them embody complex, yet refined sounds. From the delicate notes in Sunrise to the ear-tickling rhythm of Manga, these songs are full of special little intricacies that I needed to share with you guys. You may have to listen through a few times, but I’m sure you will start to appreciate the same melodic motions that I have been hooked on. The mix ends with SylverMay’s remix of Remember, which has its own unique lure all by itself.

I hope you guys enjoy the mix, this was a special one for me so listen closely! I am going on vacation for a couple of days so there probably won’t be anything new up for a while. Happy holidays to everyone, may you all enjoy some nice quality family time and lots of good eating!

Yeyo – Liftoff vol. 1

Happy Monday everyone, here is little something I put together this past weekend. I decided to create a full-on, euphoric trance mix because I haven’t done something like this in a while, and also because I had a bunch of great uplifting tracks saved up. The energy is pretty high, as I kept the tempo up at 137-140bpm throughout the entire mix. This collection of tunes is probably not for everyone, but if you like beautiful melodies with strong breakdowns, you will certainly enjoy this. I realize that in the current state of trance there has been sort of a backlash against these supersaw tunes with typical song structures and predictable elements, but I still enjoy this type of music because there’s no better way to show off a sick melody. It’s not really meant for dancing, but it is great for listening. If you glance through this tracklist, you will notice big names such as Andy Blueman, Sebastian Brandt, Aly & Fila, Akesson, and Onova, all of who are great at making melodic trance. The theme of this mix is Liftoff, due to the uplifting nature of these tracks. The total length is just a hair under 80 minutes, so you can download it and burn it onto a CD. Hopefully this raises some hairs off your skin, take a listen below…

ROBOT Music vol. 4

The ROBOT series is back, this time crispier and crunchier than ever. As with the last 3 editions, this one is chock-full of techy tunes and bouncy beats. I have been under the influence of Mr. Schulz ever since last weekend, and his work has seduced me into creating this mix. Inspirations aside, I tried to keep this tracklist fresh by including songs all released within the past few months (except for the last one). I open up the set slow with a new one by Nic Chagall and then build things up with some groovy beats in Cowabunga and Red Light District. There’s a nice vocal track from Smart Apes, a four person team from Ukraine, as well as another hard-hitting vocal track remixed by Mike Koglin. For those of you cock-a-roaches who enjoyed the movie Scarface, I’m sure you will appreciate track number 8. The mix follows with smooth tunes by Skytech and Norin & Rad, and then it gets funky with a sick beat by Genix. Ben Gold and Claudia Cazacu also make their way into the mix with new tracks of their own, as well as a great Phynn remix of a Rex Mundi track.  Finally, the last two songs turn the energy up, which is my favorite way to end a set. The mix is just a shade under 80 minutes, so it’s perfect for downloading and burning to a CD. Hope you enjoy these tunes below:

ROBOT Music vol. 1

Here is the latest mix I made last week. Most of these tracks are techy (hence the title) and the resulting mix is something a little bit harder than my usual style. It starts hard and progresses into the chilled-out ending. Megalithic, Reborn, and Distant Destiny are very beautiful tracks with moving melodies, which is not surprising considering who produced them. Marcel Woods’ new track has the same sound as Rank 1’s L.E.D., but has a sicker bassline. Cosmic Gate’s FAV has my favorite bassline at the moment and the collabo between Sander and Marco V is nothing short of EVIL.

ROBOT Music vol. 1
