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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
