Oct 2007 – High Density – Progressive House

I’m off on vacation for a week – and I always like to take a new mix to listen to during my travels, so I put this together…and left for you to download and enjoy! These are some of my personal favourites from the dancefloor at the moment – taking in some of the more progressive and bass heavy recesses of the record box.

Enjoy this mix – and let me know what you think in the comments below!

Full Tracklist (and mini reviews) after the jump…

• Deadmau5 – Faxing Berlin : smooth, proggy track that eases us into the mix with a thudding bassline
• Noir – Super Skunk (Deadmau5 Mix) : Wicked tune, reminds me a lot of some of early hard house tunes, slowed down for gentler times (and older DJ’s!) but still with bags of bounce and energy.
• Mark Ronson – Stop Me (Dirty South Mix) : New York style Radiohead cover gets a bottom heavy workout from Dirty South with great vocals from Daniel Merriweather
• Dirty South – Let it go : wicked guitars, coupled with a cool vocal drive this bass heavy, funked up tune
• Josh Wink – Higher State of Consciousness (Marco V Mix) : All time classic (and BigMan favourite) is given a tuff sounding remix by dutch trance master Marco V
• Dave Spoon feat Lisa Maffia – Bad Girl at Night (Beat Vandals Mix) : So Solid girl gets Super solid breaks mix from the Beat Vandals
• Peter Bjorn & John – Young Folks (Scumfrog Remix) : One of the biggest tracks of the year  (and 2006!) gets a very cool remix with a very phat bassline  from Scumfrog – will you ever get ‘that whistle’ out of your head?
• James Zabiela & Nic Fanciulli – No Pressure (Deadmau5 Remix) : Toronto based Deadmau5 once again does the business on this progressively trancey remix.
• Gus Gus – Need in Me (Luke Walker : 2005 release gets a 303 heavy remix from Luke Walker, complete with 80′s style synthdrums and a little polish from the breakbeat cloth.
• Underworld – Born Slippy (WMC 2007 Remix) : The second all time classic of the mix gets a rerub for 2007, I heard this a few times from the Miami Music Conference and always wanted to include it in a mix…love the crowd noise and the tempting runs of the classic keyboard riff.
