Mr. Gill's stypod mix

The inspirations for this mix were the recent singles "Cosmic Sandwich" and "Odyssey" by Steve Barnes, which showcase a new and interesting tangent on the basic micro/electro-house template. It was an epic, sprawling sound that combined the romantic melancholy of Michael Mayer's "Immer" with a heavy psychedelic bent that engulfs you through a series of visceral repetition, trippy vocals, and wandering stratospheric synths. I've picked tracks here that complement this sound, and sequenced them in such a fashion that the music becomes more open and extroverted as time passes. Hence, things begin with the misty noir-ish glimmers of Anders ilar, move through the brisk druggy bliss of Ewan Pearson's Closer Musik remix, and end up with some Italo/Metro Area influenced tracks by Jersey Devil Social Club and Justus Kohncke. This being the internet and not the club, I've taken the time to do some re-edits of the tracks in order to emphasize the themes of the mix. I hope you enjoy it.

Shall we dare utter those dreaded words... PROGRESSIVE MICROHOUSE OMGGGGGGGGGG

If all goes as planned, there should be a new one every two weeks.
