Frontiers

  Oops, it's been 3 months since the last Frontiers episode. Granted, I had a couple live shows in-between, so I haven't been completely AWOL, but this was a bit of an unintended - but also very necessary - break nonetheless. I think the quality of this mix makes up for it though. 😉   (00:00) GMJ & Matter - EXT 135 (GMJ & Matter Ambient Reprise) [Meanwhile] (04:46) Uppermost - G...

  July 2023's episode of Frontiers is here, and it's a very melodic one...and I dare I see even a bit heavy on the trance side. My music studio situation at home has been turned upside-down the last four weeks due to some construction, so I grabbed my travel DJ controller and sat down in a hot room that has terrible acoustics to crank this one out. And honestly, I think it came out excellent....

  I'm still alive! I may have skipped a month of Frontiers without warning, but it was sorely needed. Burnout is very real, and I was very burnt out. I'm back now, though, and I'm feeling MUCH better. Not only do I have an excellent episode of Frontiers for you, but I've also been working on some original tunes, which you'll hopefully hear at...some point. For now, enjoy this hour of nice mus...

  2023 continues being chaotic for me into April...which is why I'm once again a week late on this Frontiers episode . That said, the extra time gave me a chance to try out some new techniques in the mix, so there are more cuts, more effects, and an even smoother intro and outro than normal. As icing on the cake, I managed to squeeze in my brand new remix coming out on Landscapes Music in May...

   2023 has been a rather chaotic year for me so far, and I've found it difficult to stay focused on music - which I think has shown in the last couple Frontiers episodes. This one feels like a return to form of sorts. Enjoy some melodic house and trance.   (00:00) Basstakil - Hazer [FSOE UV] (03:48) Leaving Laurel - fireflies (for as far as we could see) [Anjunadeep] (07:24) Dio S...

  It's time for the February 2023 episode of Frontiers. This one is a great trip through the various styles of progressive house and melodic techno, and it also features a number of songs with extremely long artist and track names. Despite that, I somehow managed to squeeze a couple more songs into this hour than I normally do, so enjoy! (00:00) deadmau5 - Silent Picture [mau5trap] (03:21) Le...

  Happy new year! Ok, we might be a couple weeks late on this one, but the first Frontiers of 2023 has arrived. This month's mix is rather more melodic than the last few have been, though that's not to say it doesn't pick up some good energy and dancing grooves along the way too. Regardless, it's a great tone-setter for the coming months.   (00:00) Soifer - Sentience I [Amped Artists] (0...

  Live set from Foxtrot at the Denver Sweet on 2022-12-17.

  We're ending 2022 on a bang. This final mix of the year features every facet of progressive music that I've been known to play, including progressive breaks, melodic techno, several forms of progressive house, and even a little bit of trance. There's a great combination of styles here, and they all blend well together. Thank you all for your support this year; it means the world! Here's to...

  It's November and there's already snow on the ground, at least where I live in Colorado. I've always loved the aesthetic of winter, and I think the first half of this episode of Frontiers is a great soundtrack for a nice drive down a snowy road...even if the second half predictably gets rather more energetic. This one is smooth as silk from start to finish, and hopefully a memorable one too...

  What better way to start off the autumn season than with an unhinged episode of Frontiers? This one traverses all over melodic techno and techno-adjacent progressive house (and even some breakbeats!), spending over half the runtime at 128 bpm. This one was a blast to record, and I hope you'll have just as much fun listening to it.   (00:00) Yotto - Under Trees [Reflections] (02:34) Abo...

  Summer is nearly over, and to send it off, I've got a banger episode of Frontiers lined up. There's some awesome progressive as usual, and the second half is almost entirely solid techno. Enjoy!   (00:00) KnKn - Elsewhere [Mango Alley] (03:26) Nils Hoffmann ft. Panama - Far Behind [Anjunadeep] (07:38) Christian Burns - Tigers (Into The Ether Remix) [Black Hole] (11:17) Ruben De Ronde -...

  We might be a day late on this episode of Frontiers , but I promise it's worth it. After a half hour of solid progressive music, the second half of this mix traverses through some deeper techno and organic house. You might just lose yourself in it - I know I did while making it. (00:00) Yotto - The Wing [Reflection] (02:46) The Stumps & Sentinals Of The Arctic - Elevation [Self-Released...

  The July 2022 episode of Frontiers carries on where last month's left off. The first half is a lovely journey through downtempo, organic, and melodic progressive, followed by a shot of adrenaline in the second half for some good dancing rhythms. This was such a fun mix to record. I have only featured two of these songs in previous mixes, and there was an unusually large proportion of techni...

  June 2021's episode of Frontiers marked a paradigm shift in how I approach these mixes, and it feels like June 2022 is another one. The transitions are cleaner, the flow is better, and it's something in which you can get absolutely lost when you're listening to it. Sadly due to a rather chaotic April and May, I didn't have the time to come up with an original intro song, but I think the qua...

  We're a couple weeks late, but the May 2022 episode of Frontiers is here! This one features some really nice melodic tracks for the first half that give way to some excellent techno and more energetic progressive music for the second half, plus a preview of a new single that I've been working on. Altogether, it's a great hour of music. Enjoy!   (00:00) Foxhill - ID [White Label] (06:43...

  Spring is in the air, which normally would mean some nice, melodic music...but I decided to go the opposite route with this April episode of Frontiers and went all-in on techno toward the end. There's also a preview of a new single I've been working on, plus some excellent new (and older) music from lots of other great artists. I really enjoy the split between deep progressive, faster progr...

  We're a week late, but it was worth the wait! This March 2022 episode of Frontiers might be my best yet, opening with the full version of my new single "Waiting On The Beach" and featuring a ton of new music otherwise. There's some great energy and style progression here too. (00:00) Foxhill - Waiting On The Beach [Pure Progressive] (08:23) Jerro - Autoreactive [This Never Happened] (12:02)...

  As we move deeper into 2022, I find myself dreaming about the future. February marks the release of my new single "Waiting On The Beach" (coming February 18th on Pure Progressive!), and this mix also continues my goal of creating a bespoke intro song for these Frontiers episodes. Every corner of the "progressive" sound is well-represented here.   (00:00) Foxhill - ID [White Label] (06:...

  Happy new year! We've made it to 2022, and with the new year comes a new episode of Frontiers. I have some big plans for the year, and first and foremost is...this mix! My aim going forward is to make a new, original downtempo intro song for every future Frontiers episode, starting with this one. Time will tell if I can succeed with this ambitious goal, but it'll be a fun challenge regardle...

  Sometimes doing Frontiers is a labor of love, and this episode really made me work for it...but it was definitely worth it. There's a great variety of old and new tunes, melodic and more intense alike. Heck, there's even a brand new one from me that debuted on Pure Trance Volume 9 a few weeks ago (don't forget to pick up your copy of that!). Overall, it's a solid hour of music.   (00:0...

   I love when a mix comes together like this. Sometimes putting together these Frontier mixes is a real struggle in finding tracks that mesh well together. Every now and then, though, I get really lucky, and it feels like it flows right out with hardly any effort required. This episode is one of the latter. The November 2021 edition of Frontiers is a lovely trek that starts with some de...
