Vian: Hour One (The Behagg Birthday Mix)

This is the the first of my hour series.. a little mix i put together for my friend Jim, a man whos influence has been palpable to say the least. He introduced me to dance music via the man Erol, and then on to minimal and techno and beyond - and that's without even mentioning eveything else he has shown me over the years. He is the man.

So this is the tracklist, i'v put a few favourites in there that i will always consider synonymous with the the man Behagg - the radioslave remix to name but one... All in all a very hypnotic, quite organic and progressive mix. Enjoy..

The Vegetable Orchestra – Carrot Cuts (Anja Schneider remix) // Karmarouge
Petre Inspirescu – Sakadat // Vinyl Club
Kabale und Lauhaus – Makake // Remote Area Recordings
Lauhaus et Chaptal – Freedom Fries // Remote Area Recordings
Crristian Paduraru – Clickno Anthem (Rhadoo Minimal Mix) // Open Bar Music
Luciano – Father // Cadenza

Vian Hours

Recently (since my essential mix back in May) i have been recording a series of mixes, each one an hour (or thereabouts) in duration.. They are a good indication of how my output is progressing, and a good way of showcasing the tunes that I'm into at at that time. Please have a listen!

I have done three already which i shall post very soon, but whenever the next one comes along it will be posted here asap - so keep yor ears and eyes open!

Vian Essential Mix

After a challenge on the Erol Alkan was set for everyone to compile and record their own 'essential mix' i thought it might be a cool thing to do, so i did... I had great fun buying lots of tracks from beatport and grabbing a few records from phonica just for the mix, whilst also preparing a radio one sample i grabbed from Damian Lazarus' essential mix (i was particularly pleased with how that turned out!)

This was my first porperly recorded mix since moving to the more techno side of dance music.. It's Quite varied but I was pretty pleased when i had it all done - with the second half especially. I even managed to get one of my own tracks in in it. Score!
