The Rex | Flaming June (Jaytech & James Grant Remix)

The heat has been brutal for the last couple of days. It's clear that we are on the brink of falling into what has to be one of the most scorching summers to date.  I'm writing this, the sun is going under in a characteristic heatwave fashion.  Only being June, yet so warm, the "opposite climate changes" seem to take effect. The nice weather is welcome though, after so many winter weeks. Besides the sunny vibe that's been going on, there is even more good news!

One of my favorite tracks on my beloved Anjunadeep 02 CD, has to be James Grant and Jaytech their rework of "Flaming June". There are few tracks that capture the "sound of sun" so well as this. Fiery, Hot yet pleasant would be the way to describe this highlight. Since 02 was my first ever Anjunadeep moment, I wasn't really that into it at the time. Apparently, this remix has never been releases. Today it is, almost 2,5 years later. Luckily I didn't have to wait since I didn't know it still needed a release, because it would have made me go berserk. 

It's great news that this has finally landed and although it is old, it's in no way outdated. Great remix by a great duo during a great period of pre-summer. 

Flaming June, here we come! 

Thursday Has Survived I The Fossil: Feel The Vibe

It's absolutely scorching outside right now. This whole week, the summer has been dominating everyday life. People are already storing away their winter clothes, and the trees are starting to pop out their leaves again. It's at times like this, that life feels the best.

I'm writing this while listening to an old but classic mix compilation, that I couldn't leave out in my recent album-ordering spree. It's a rare thing when a label can make you so happy, day in day out. The entire compilation is full of tracks that formed my musical taste as it is today. A few weeks from now, part 2 will get an release and this time it is being mixed by Thomas Gold. I'm going to preorder it blindly if the tracklist consist of all those fine axtone tracks of the past few years again.

The standout track of this compilation is ofcourse Axwell's "Feel The Vibe". This was and still is my favorite big room house track till date and pushed me in the right direction music-wise. "Feel The Vibe" captures the summer in 6-7 minutes perfectly. I keep returning to it, but only if the music is just right like this week.

A few years back, this track would be on the number one spot of my top 100 list without a doubt. I hope you can enjoy it as much as I did all these years, and still do!

Summer Has Survived (Feel Alive/Kaboom Mashup)

The Summer has been going on these couple of months in full gear...in other countries that is. In Holland, the sky is still colored grey, and the sunglasses are still in the drawers.

But if we may believe the papers, sun-filled weather is upon us! With that in mind, it's the perfect timing for me to start my first unofficial compilation "album"! The "album" will be free and featured on Upcomingsoon! With the album, I'll include various mashups that will be in the mix itself!

The first two mashups are already done and ready to be used in my upcoming mix for Upcomingsoon! Check a previews out here:
