This is an OLD mix of mine circa 2000, when All I could afford was one 1200, an old 1300 and a basic Numark mixer. That 1300 was a CHALLENGE!
Anyways, this is a Progressive set, before progressive got really out of hand and trancey. I would call this Trance, but Trance has made SUCH a transition over the past 10 years that I'm not sure what you'd call this anymore. Progressive Trance was always so formatted- go, stop, go breakdown, go stop, outtro, nextsong,. This isn't like that. Anyways, it was Trance to me back then. It's a bunch of solid tracks. A lot of stuff from Hope Recordings. A lot of big names came out of this time to have very succesful careers in the early 2000's. A lot of these tracks are what got these folks established. So, Here they are, hope you enjoy:
Oh yeah, the name Heavy -D comes from the fact that it stands for Heavy-DRUNK, not the rapper. This mix kind of flows like a good buzz....
Roughly 129BPM (just guessing)
1. Starecase- Undecided
2. Papa New Guinea- Intensify (I believe the vocals are Alanis Morisette)
3. Mainframe (Just a monster of a track. Works the subs)
4. Tomba Vira- Drums Come Alive (Eddie Dark Afterhour Mix)
5. Safari Duo- Played-a-live
6. Dano- Rm.10 (Dano really came to light when many DJ's played his "Crash On Mars" a collaboration with DJ Dan. Played at manny a massive...)
7.Q~Tohn- Onlx-1
8. Starecase- Hopeless (I was diggin' on the mission control samples)
9. Max Grahm- Shoreline (Kind of Spacey and etheral but still with a nice rolling bassline)
10. Groove Zone- A Melody (this was a b-side with the Eisbaer release, believe it or not)
11. The Dreamcatcher- Home (It took me a lot of years to find good tracks to mix in and out with this one)
12. Force Majuere- Out Of My Mind (If I recall, from here on my Bro always said that he could put the 'phones on and lose it)
13. Phools, Inc.- Light it up (main) (The infamous Oliver Leib- awesome producer)
14. X-Cabs- Breaker (something to warm the room up with- the last 5 tracks were a bit on the spacey side. This one brings you back down, but still up if you catch my drift)
15. Max Grahm- Airtight (I never knew how powerful this track is until I dropped it at a massive. Jaw dropper)
16. Project #1- #1[013@013] (something to keep you wanting more)
Thanks for the listen! Hope it was worth it for you......
