look at those stats! I can’t believe it  myself, granted, Diplo was only the real name I surpassed, but, still, a nice thing to see. March will prove to be much tougher to land a spot in the top 5, unless you can tune in and rate my set favorably, if you like it.

If anyone’s interested, i can pass on a hi-rez mp3 of this month’s mix, just hit me back. and.. thank you AOL.

New mixes created and ready to be broadcast via AOL Radio for February 2006. This batch was originally taken from a 4 hour 23 minute mix session recorded in the pristine home studio conditions. With nothing on my mind but mixing. I had all afternoon alone to dedicate myself to mixin’ it up for 4 plus hours. liner notes:

I pulled together a mass of mostly techno and electro styled tracks over a week. My previous sets for AOL Radio had been more upbeat, more dance floor friendly style mixes with the exception of one being more mellow chillout one (The Bells).

This time, I really wanted to focus on a deeper, more techno oriented sound which I’ve been neglecting for quite some time. Some of the cuts are more peek and aggressive and the next moment, flip to the deeper side of things.

Here are the results….
