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 frustrated to the point I didn’t think another 16-track/40-minute/no-repeats mix could be done how I wanted. Considering my library is running low/out of what I think is mixable retro synth, this is yet another example of how I use the creative process and resolve.

I’ve been trying to make a particular set work together for awhile now. But nearly half the playlist was pulled from nowhere in the much latter stages, leaving the others for another time hopefully. Kinda funny. It turns out the final playlist includes songs I didn’t really like before. But as I explored and discovered other remix variations, they’ve grown on me. Been meaning to add Enjoy the Silence, Weight of the World; artists like Savage and Albert One to one of these mixes, so there you have it.

There’s also the namedrop thing both Mark and Jason mentioned before, so I figured one out. Thanks guys. (See what I mean about feedback??)

About the Cover

I’m “mixing” worlds. Web people should relate to the graphic.

What’s next: Anniversary mixes, an 80s mix, perhaps Euro and one more New Wave mix. Until then, enjoy.
