Ideas started to unwind while thinking about what I would put on my version of Euphoria. A setlist of curated tracks, the modern “mixtape,” is something I’ve done countless times for others long ago. Mixtapes were never just whipped together quickly, but thought through; always giving consideration to feel, tempo and the mixtape’s “transitions,” etc. […]

Euphoria was a VMC compilation cassette with Synthpop’s version of “Slow Jams” and related tracks. Last I checked YouTube, a track (or two) wasn’t previously available. But now it is. As stated on the artwork itself: Euphoria is yet another brainchild from the creators of the Euromix. The Euphoria series is the manifestation of VMC […]

Here it is. Volume 7 was almost a year in production. I’ve been wanting to do a “best of the best” mix since my high school days, so you can call it a bucket list project. As this is my Euromix 5, or Anniversary Mix, I went further and doubled the standards set by its […]

Those previous Euromix 3 posts on Soundcloud were taken down, so I’m editing this as needed. When the original Euromix 3 made its rounds in 1993, I was looking for a little more. What VMC did with the remastered version was pretty much it; finishing each side a lot stronger. (Now that I remember what […]

VMC’s Euromixes set the gold standard, and what many of us have come to expect of New Wave mixes back in the 90’s. I’m one of many to associate great memories with the series. Unfortunately, it appears that no one really has the complete set digitized. Maybe no one I know, but converting them long […]

Each Halo-Halo volume gets tougher, but the challenge was good. I’ve been mixing on and off over this last year, trying to find the right combinations. Nothing was really coming together, so I was thinking to put this on hold for an anniversary mix – which I’m planning for the next release. But I got […]

 I guess it’ll do. Call it compromise. What may seem easy was not; this was a tougher challenge than the previous trio (HH1, HH2 and HH3). I wanted to stick to a “no repeats” rule throughout all mixes, but am making exceptions. One is for a future anniversary mix (see Euromix 5), and the […]

Another New Wave music 80s megamix, and I can’t believe it’s finished. Why? I finished the last two (See HH1 and HH2) in September, and similarly, I was looking to add #3. But for the longest time, I was pretty annoyed the transitions weren’t working very well. Only in the last month did it all […]

Visitors return for my first new wave music mix, as it turns out. Many thanks to those who gave it a listen. So it was a pleasure to create its follow-up, another mix of the New Wave music or Synthpop genre – again, from the late 80s and early 90s. I can’t say enough: that […]

Over the last few months, I’ve compiled some New Wave music 80s playlists only to remember that I never did what I wanted to create many years ago – an actual mix. Although DJ software was available for a long time, I didn’t make much of an effort to try. So I recently gave Virtual […]
