Vian: Hour Three

Welcome to hour three.. This hour is really a turning point in terms of my output, I am really happy with it because i mixed it really well and it represents the way I am heading in terms of style.. The first half hour especially, has a really organic and rhythmic edge which i am really warmimg to and which is exactly where i want to go, both in terms of mixing and my future productions (when i finally get around to that again). Lots of great tracks, particularly Viva Belize and Nesrib, but they are all superb.

I would like to thank in part the man Luciano for the most inspiring/amazing set i'v ever experienced, at Fabric at the end of August, it opened my eyes and ears wider than ever, and undoubtably affected the tune selection in Hour Three and indeed the future for Vian. So please enjoy my best mix so far - one that i will always look back on with great fondness.

Vian: Hour Two

So here is the second hour. This one was cool as it was totally improvised, and it turned out pretty good considering.. A number of really cool tunes involved and there is a nice flow to it despite the variety of sounds. Especially enjoyed using 'Roar', which is great fun and really ought to be considered a tool, but is great for keeping the tension up as the drop never comes.. ever!

Tracklist:

Matthias Tanzmann – Hotel Sapporo (Pedro remix) // Moon Harbour
Boris Werner – Starvin Marvin is Cruisin // cadenza
Loco Dice – Orchidee // Minus
Radioslaxe – Eyes Wide Open // R&S
Chic Minature – KImano // crosstown rebels
Patrice Baumel – Roar // get physical
Argy – 1985 (Sydenham remix) // poker flat
Minilogue – Carnival // traum
Thomas Schumacher – Pink Boots (khord remix) // spiel-zeug schallplatten

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
Kissogram – My Friend is a Seahorse (Radio Slave Remix) // defDrive
Sun Electric – Toninas (Ricardo Villalobos Remix) // Shitkataputt
The Vegetable Orchestra – Ciboulette (Luciano mix) // Karmarouge

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!
