Due to the summer we’re a week later than usual, but hey, we made it. Episode 10 contains twenty four tracks (or actually twenty eight) in an uplifting genre that starts kind of groovy and builds up to more energetic tracks with the current chart killers KNAS, Nito and Brap as a summum. Then I built a little break just before for the kind of experimental encore with tracks that were too good not to use, but didn’t quite fit in the main mix. Total playing time is nearly 90 minutes. Well, find out yourselves :)

After my recent mix, I wanted to do another one, but a different genre I’m used to: Disco.
It’s a sound you don’t hear often, but nowadays there are quite a lot of records which pay homage to the sound of yore, the 70’s and 80’s sound. In 2008 I was pleasantly surprised by Balance Electric vol 04 mixed by Agent 86. For me it was the first compilation with music like this, but at the same time the compilation had created a blueprint of what a compilation like this should sound like.
While browsing for tracks for my previous mix, I stumbled upon the second track of this mix, which totally captured the sound I was looking for. Inspiration was born.
Although the tracks are quite obscure, most of them are brand new, like the opening track. Nice and slow and disco-y, a good start! The second track fitted right in, but some editing was needed because of an annoying sound. Luckily, you don’t hear any remnants of it!
The third track sounds familiar to me, but the 80’s sound is unmistakenly present. The fourth track has been a favorite of mine from Science Fiction Jazz 12, cool track, especially the lyrics. Track 5 and 6 have those lighthearted lyrics which fit this style perfectly. The transition between the two sound pretty cool!
Track 7 has that 70’s sound and track 8 was the other favorite from Science Fiction Jazz 12. Track 9 and 10 have lighthearted melodies close to the disco sound, but I wanted a little change of pace around this time in the mix. Jimmy Edgar is the producer of track 11. Some people would describe this track as sexy, I would call it perverted, obscene and downright filthy. I love it! The track after that is very much in line with what I usually play, but I think it suits this mix well. After that, a nice track I found in the Breaks section on Beatport. It is picked up quite nicely by track 14, an electro poppy track. One of the better transitions of the mix.
Track 15 and 16 have a good bassline and some nice melodies. Track 17 ends with a track you would dance to on the floor. I slow down the mix again for a nice chill out track.
Eclectic Electric is going to be series, at least, I hope so. It has been very nice working on this mix and I have learned a lot creating it!
PS: Somehow the cue-sheet was cut, these two tracks are missing
