This week is a total different genre which I love to listen to. This is Psytrance. So it's much more speed/psychotic than usual electro or progressive sound, but I love it anyway.

An organic electro mix by Mindphone. I may have listened to it a dozen times in one week and really love it. It is dark, hypnotic and not too much minimal. I'd rather say minimal-tek Some track are just pure heaven, and they are mixed in a perfect manner. Enjoy this one!

Here is a very fine mix created with Ableton Live. I like the tracklisting and where the mix leads you. I find it very progressive and coherent.

As Tim Moore says it:

"Far from some people's claims that using software to beat-match and mix is the easy way out, this was the most labor-intensive mix that I've ever created. Tracks were transposed, extended, edited, sliced up, and processed heavily to get them to blend well. It was a very educational experience, but it also taught me that I still have a lot to learn. I hope, now that this is finished, I can spend more time learning and applying these new skills to original productions, something else I've intended for years but never made the time to pursue seriously."

OK it's software mixed, but who cares? Give it a try.

For the second edition of Friday mix, I decided to select a mix recorded by PussySelektor. I really like this one and I hope you'll like it also. I think this mix is quite dark, some of the trakcs played here are totally hypnotic and I discovered that incredible track of Ruede Hagelstein which I love since!

The mix itself is very clean and smooth, tracklisting is very coherent and tells a story for who wants to listen. In a word: fantastic!
