House is a Journey

2019 July Sugar Pills Reboot 3.0 (Greek Glyka)   Lie down, get a drink, listen and who knows… you might get the urge to break into a summer boogie. Just Sun and Sugar.. No spice.   Summer Beach House tunes. Nothing else.    Not at all in the headspace to listen, let alone mix tunes but as I am cleaning up my hard drive, I found this one, which had been mixed at the same time than the 2019 Jan Suga...

2019 March Tranc-Itions (the Running up that Hill Set)   “Do you want to feel how it feels? Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making? You, it's you and me. And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God, And I'd get him to swap our places, Be running up that road, Be running up that hill…”   Classic Vocal Trance anthems because I needed it.   Life still non-linear and sometimes only tranc...

2019 Jan Sugar Pills Reboot 2.0   Let's start with Happy New Year!   Curated vocal Beach and Disco house gems with a hint of a latin vibe.   Still in drastic need of pick me up music and if I were in the mood, the set would get me to the floor.   If you feel like another vibe, more progressive, check out our mixclound page, have posted a whole Nora En Pure series: https://www.mixcloud.com/xtiancaz...

2018 Nov Sugar Pills Reboot 1.0   Disco Vocal House. A reboot of the Sugar Pills   Dust off the disco shoes and prepare to sing-along and dance. A surprisingly current set with a sugary disco flavour.   Needed a pick me up mix as I have listened to a lot of progressive lately and, though mood is still pretty sombre, this upload marks the start of the Australian spring.   This is Sugar Pills Reboot...

2018 Sept China: The Harder Set   Progressive House and light Trance with new remixes and edits of classic tunes. More than a few Xtian’s edit and mashups, probably too many.   I should have uploaded this set ages ago as it was done simultaneously as the 2 previous one. Never got around to it and my shopping car tis bursting to the seam. Time to publish. Up in tempo and reflecting my mood at the t...

2018 August Crazy-Trippin’ in Shanghai   Progressive House + Trance = Trouse Give this one a spin, it is a real journey! Have spent the last fortnight in China. First set straight from Pudong-Shanghai! A crazy trippin’ city indeed.   Playlist:   2018 Crazy: Trippin, Pt. 2 (Sandy Rivera & DJ Rae Dub Mix vs Club Mix). DJ Rae, Sandy Rivera 2018 Rainbow (Album Version). Chicane 2018 Fear I Must Fi...

2018 Aug Vols de Nuit (CX178)   Progressive House curated from 30,000 ft travelling to China. Your chillout companion or the appropriate soundscape to immerse yourself into a good book. Few vocals, deep progressive grooves and mostly current beats.   Most of you know Antoine de St Exupery only through the quizzical “Petit Prince” (The Little Prince”). For us French, he was a VERY bad fighter and p...

August 2018 “For Those Who Stayed”   Chilled Progressive House with a sprinkle of Balearic Trance. I love this one, I hope you will as well.   Some context: from late June to most of July, my family went to Europe on a holiday and I stayed in wintery Melbourne. My presence here was necessary and the start of a lot of positive things, yet, I was nonetheless bittersweet and lonely. World Cup notwith...

2018 July Arrival: From the Beach to the Dance Floor Pt3 Connection: Athens   “ Driftin' on a memory Ain't no place I'd rather be Than with you Loving you well-well-well Day will make a way for night All we'll need is candle lights And a song yeah Soft and long ”   Eclectic Summer Beach and Chilled Progressive House going into soft Trance for those just who have headed North.   Third Part: some se...

2018 July Departures: From the Beach to the Dance Floor Pt2 Connection: Paris   Eclectic Summer Beach and Chilled Progressive House for those just about to head North.   Second Part: it took me 30 minutes to get into the proper groove. But I promise, there is ample reward thereafter.   Playlist:   2010 For an Angel (Saltas Cala Tarida Remix) (hearthis.at). PVD, Mike Salta 2018 Because I Knew Ft Em...

2018 July One Kiss... Many Flavours A 15 minutes Xtian's edit of One Kiss.. House, Progressive, Trance, Dance... Unashamedly Commercial! I could not sleep one night and wanted to do something just fun. Will be back soon. Xtian

2018 June Departures: From the Beach to the Dancefloor Pt.1   Eclectic Summer Beach and Chilled Progressive House for those just about to head North.   Should be very easy listening, meant to accompany you from the Beach to the Dancefloor, nothing confronting in this one.   First part of a trilogy.   Playlist:   2008 Silence (Acoustic Mix). Delerium, Sarah McLachlan 2011 Cocaine Blues (Greg Wilson...

2018 April For the Mindful Soul   Persevering in the soulful genre. Give this upload a try! Soulful indeed but also funky, sexy and surprisingly current as well.   Always a challenge to find current soulful tracks and put a playlist together, which is both consistent, relevant and without two many old tunes. But I could feel this one was flowing my end.   Somewhat it is a mini Marc Evans tribute…...

2018 April For the Soulful Mind   More often than not I am currently not really feeling the soulful genre, but here is one, very current and somewhat lighter given the mood of what I have uploaded recently. Enough funk, beats and bass to make it bouncy and sexy as the set unfolds.    Playlist:   2017 You Gotta Be (DJ Spen’s Gotta Be Housed Mix). S.E.L, DJ Spen 2012 Confused (Husky's RSR Disco Rub)...

2018 March You Work Hard for Your Enemy Pt.2   Second part of the HKG sets, similar mood similar vibe. Deep, Dark, Progressive yet with higher BPM and the tail end of the set is a bit more fun.   Playlist:   2017 You Work Hard for Your Enemy (Funkerman Remix).  Sandy Rivera, Funkerman 2017 Almost Home (Melosense Extended Remix) [Xtian Edit].

Sandy Rivera 2018 Late (Short Edit)[Xtian I’m Human Rework]. Tontario 2017 Far Away Place (Jody Wisternoff & James Grant Remix) [Xtian Human Edit]. Xinobi 2017 Gorecki (Extended Mix). Chican...

2017 Dec Jus’ Dance   Preparing for a party and selected those tunes for a sexy house get it down hour.   Won't be the exact playlist for the night (for those intending to come) but set should give you a taste of what to expect.   All about the beats and the bass.    Playlist:   2015 Jus’ Dance (Dario D'Attis Remix). Mr. V 2017 That Groove (Husky's BHM Mix). Cimieon, Marck Jamz, Husky 2017 Get int...

Dec 2017 Rebooting from the Deep End (Black Voices Matter)   Not for everyone, East Coast Deep House or as close as you will get from me in the genre.   Should you not like NYC, Chicago or Detroit Deep House stay clear of this one but if you are curious, surrender to the groove, it is half decent.   Playlist:   2017 Higher (Marques Wyatt & Gabriel Rene AquaDEEP Mix). Groove Junkies, Scott K.,...

Dec 2017 The Progressive Clean-up (B-List)   Progressive with a dash of Nu-House..   Got bored with it midway.. The set turned more high energy than originally intended with an overly ambitious mash-up! Be gentle with me, I am just getting reacquainted with the mixer. The general idea was to clean up the progressive folder and choose tracks to be played at a future party. This set includes the tun...

2017 Dec Chill Pills Pt.1 (Sueño)   Revert to previous for update and current status. Gradually getting back into it.   Chill and Beach House fitting for the onset of the Australian summer. Nothing ground-breaking but hopefully a nice chilled vibe. Pt.1 of 2 sets.   Playlist: 2015 American Boy (Original Mix). Ely Bruna, Neja 2015 Come Back Baby (Original Mix). Flush 2016 You Work Hard for Your Ene...

2017 Dec Rebooting from the Deep End (Pt. 1 Taste this Love)   “The news of my passing was greatly exaggerated”. Borrowing from Oscar Wilde or (Mark Twain who knows?)   House is a Journey 2.0! Reboot..   Had to focus on more important issues for a while. Though I did play live and mixed at parties, I could not be bothered with tweaking and publishing. I have a few live raw sets on my drive, which...

Chinese Chills Ep.1 (30 hours to nowhere)   Happy Birthday Denise! Told you.. I’ll House you!   Downtempo Progressive house with a hint of Nu-Disco.   Not referring to real Chill out but to the fact that I mixed those upcoming sets whilst travelling in China. The trip was horrid, when murphy’s law being the default mode. Furthermore, it was cold, chilling, freezing cold hence the title of the seri...

Mega 4 hours set you can stream for your NYE party.. Mostly current "best of" soulful track of 2016 with a few oldies towards the end. Happy New Year to the Soulful tribe!!   Playlist: 2016 Turn Me On (Original Mix). Terry Lex 2016 Free (Extended Mix). Jako Diaz, Veselina Popova 2016 Easy 2 Love (Richard Earnshaw Remix).

Merry Xmas to all of you!   Elements of a Dancer.. A combination of old progressive trance dance tunes with a small sprinkling of current clubby numbers and far too many Xtian Edits A very easy, meant to get you off your feet, festive and unashamadely commercial set..    I originally intended to publish the Shanghai Progressions Pt.2 back in September, had staggered the publishing of the uploads i...

Mini-series at the confines of Progressive House and Trance. Still from Shanghai. At this time of writing I am not sure if I will leave the chopped 2 x 45 seconds of electro in tunes 10. I tried to restructure the tunes to take out as much of it as I could but had to leave the build.   New tunes interspaced with some remixes of well-known favs of mine, not quite sure it this set is an absolute mus...
