When I started the Halo-Halo series, I set out to not repeat tracks in any of my mixes. The original mix established the use of 16 tracks and 40 minutes of playing time. I figured this would eventually make subsequent sets much more difficult, and that couldn’t be more true for Halo-Halo Vol.8. In making […]

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 […]

HaloHalo = HaloHalo + 1; // As I understand now Originally thinking I’d do an anniversary mix this round, but no. So that means, the no-repeats, 16-track, 40-minute rule applies. Overall, with one exception, I’ve used 95 tracks in sticking with the genre (or trying to, anyhow). Crazy. This volume, more than its siblings, highlights […]

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 […]
