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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
