Shore Points 2010 – Another summer trance mix!
Album Art by Mike Kilgore
It's that time of year again, and as usual I've pieced together some of my favorite summer-style tunes. I plan on making this an annual mix as each year I find more music to enjoy, and rediscover some to re-live. Each tune is simply a favorite of mine to relax, cruise, or lay on the beach to. Let me know what you think!

Speaking of summer, on August 21st at Love in NYC, I'll be playing a tag-team set with my good friend Nic Stasiuk for trance classics night in the 'cave', so if you're around check it out! The trance classics nights are always my favorite and most memorable events that I've been to, so it's not to be missed!

Be on the lookout for my next mix release, a continuation of my summer mixes entitled 'Shore Points'. Also on July 3rd we'll be celebrating our one-year anniversary of our 'four to the floor events' at Zen Lounge, so I hope to see you there as well!
New hosting, RSS/iTunes feed, and other news!
Yikes, it's been a while since I put anything up on this website. I've been extremely busy juggling a few things, leaving not much time to put out new mixes. I'm sure it doesn't help that somewhere along the way I lost my flip camcorder, hence the lack of new videos as well. However, I finally got some things regarding my blog/mixes together, and I bring you good news! All my major mix releases have new hosting with streaming availability, and you can now subscribe to all previous and future mixes via iTunes or RSS feed. Head on over to my Mixes page to get a hold of the individual links.
As for what you can expect in the future, I'll be playing a two hour opening set at Zen Lounge on the 19th of this month. Details about the party itself and the headliner we're bringing will be up very soon, so keep an eye out for that. If all goes well, I will be releasing the recording of said set. You can also expect another addition to what I may just consider making an annual mix series: Shore Points. If I have some free time, I'd also like to submit another entry to the DJ Tutor monthly Ten Minute Mix competition. As usual, you can definitely expect to see me out at some upcoming NYC trance events. I'll do my best to keep anyone interested updated across the board.
If you have any further questions, feel free to shoot an e-mail over to excess34@gmail.com
Forward Motion: New Mix!
Album Art by Mike Kilgore!
It's been a long time since I've promoted a mix that I've done, and I'm personally very glad I waited to put out something I was proud of. It's been hard to find time to dedicate in putting together mixes, which is the exact premise behind this one. This mix was simply exciting to complete, and I can only hope that you all share that excitement in listening.

New mixes!
Been a while since I put out a mix, and as you can see there's a little something for everybody here. This first mix, I am extremely proud of. I originally wanted to do a 2-part mix release, but I could not come up with another mix that matched this one in flow. So instead, I'm giving out this one with some 'bonus' mixes in the same post.

The following two mixes are ones that I did not plan on releasing, but ended up really enjoying when listening back. The first was done in late september, when I was certainly not looking forward to colder weather. Now that it's actually cold (a little quicker than I hoped), this mix helps keep my mind on a tropical island.

1. Boom Jinx - Remember September
2. Probspot - Foreplay
3. Estiva - Lifting Leaves
4. Estiva - I Feel Fine
5. Sunny Lax - Release
6. Gareth Emery - Metropolis

9. BT - Mercury & Solace (Master Mix)

Another 'random' mix that I did, it starts out very progressive building into a techier flow for better part of the set. Mind you, this was recorded while i was facebooking a ton, so there are some audio glitches and the mixing style is pretty unorthodox for me. But overall, and especially in comparison to most of the mixes I put out, this one is extremely unique.
1. Christian Smith & John Selway - Daytona (John Digweed & Nick Muir Remix)
2. Incognet - Imagine (Shingo Nakamura Remix)
3. Russell G - Solstice
5. Umek - Curved Trajectory
6. Marco V - Stimulated 2010 (Original Mix)
7. Dustin Zahn - Stranger To Stability (Len Faki Podium Mix)
8. Timmy & Tommy - Full Tiltin (Joint Operations Centre Remix)
9. Cosmic Gate - Under Your Spell (Duderstadt Remix)
10. Sonic Division - Bulky Hero
11. Mat Zo - This is Reality
12. Evol Waves - Zappin
13. Breakfast - Remember

This past week, on August 14th at 9:10AM, my Grandmother passed. It has been an emotional time for the family and friends that were close with her. She spent the past 3 months recovering from a major surgery after trying everything else to attempt to overcome her battle with cancer. I have lived with her my entire life, so essentially, I lost a member of my immediate family. In this mix, I collected and pieced together songs that I felt explained the last few months while she had been in the hospital, and her passing. Whether it is lyrically, or musically, this track list will surely tell the story that I will always remember.
In loving memory of Veronica Kwasnik
