A new addition to the cheese tray


I was recently solicited to come up with a "Rave" mix, as opposed to a club mix. When I think of "rave" music I think of trippy, loopy tracks, with short stab-like vocal samples running at around ~130bpm. Ordinarily, I prefer to operate around 120bpm and I like vocal mixes, so compiling something along those lines became a bit of a challenge. The other challenging part about the excercise was not repeating myself by using records I'd high-lighted in mixes before. Here's what I came up with.

Easy (Niekisch & Hermann Dub) - Trick & Kubic
Show Me Your Monkey (Punkers Cheetah Remix) - Percy Filth
Your Wildest Dreams (Joey Negro Medusa Mix) - Akabu

Run On (Sharam Jey's Always On The Run Remix) - Moby
