Wow, I love this mix. This isn't a comment on my djing, but more on the quality of the tracks I was working with. Britney gets a minor introduction, closely followed by a great version of Magic Carpet Ride by the Dub cats.

Typical of the mixes I do, it weaves in and out of great songs from era's past (some not too distant) that have been remixed, or played with by great producers and yours truly.

The stand outs from this mix include: She's a lady, Love is in the air and Flower duet (thank you for that one Warren Gluck - MG party circa late 1990's).

This mix has got me excited about making dance music again. Look out!

Leo the crazy Greek, you liked this mix, so this one's for you. Paul, the number one listener and other Greek, I hope this one ticks the boxes. Lay back, relax and soak it up.

Put together in June 2007, this mix started my crossover style, from the Remixed Remodelled and Reinvented genre, to one with a little more progressive 90's and noughties trance. You will find this a little harder than the RRR series.

In this mix, you will recognise elements of the RRR series as it opens with a line from 2001 A Space Odyssey, moves into a Fleetwood Mac song and winds in and out of better and less known tracks.

Each song was put in the mix as it had some association with the concept of dreams. Some are obvious, some less so. Rez is included as I used to love lying on the lounge, playing an Underworld cd and dozing off!

The highlights are many and varied. Redemption and Supernova are just brilliant tracks, while Adagio for Strings is one of Tiesto's finest mixes of a classic classical track.

Sit back, turn it up and enjoy.

The first in the RRR series, completed in early June 2007, however due to a couple of tracks I wasn't happy with, I remixed the same tracks in July 2009 to present it in its current form. To be fair on the original mix, I kept the tracks in the same order, with similar (though smoother) transitions.

This slightly trancy mix contains standout track after standout track. The intro from Ronald Reagan is a clever one liner, with numerous following tracks making a comment on the political flavour of the times. One of my all time favourites continues to be Rob Searle's mix of "The Power Of Love", though there is a plethora of hands in the air tracks to be found.

The tracks that got wiped in the 2009 update were:

Light Years - Kylie Minogue
So Fabulous So Fierce
Funkatarium - Jump

The current track listing stands as:

Intro - Ronald Reagan
The tide is high - Blondie (Sand dollar Mix)
American Pie - Madonna (Victor Calderone Dub mix)
Atomic - Blondie (Diddy's 12' Mix)
The power of love - Frankie goes to Hollywood (Rob Searle club mix)
Lady bump - Offer Nissam (Victor Calderone Club anthem mix)
Reach up - Perfecto allstars
What it feels like for a girl - Madonna (Paul Okenfeld remix)
Enola Gay - OMD (Dancefloor killa remix)
Just can't get enough - Depeche Mode (Tribal remix 2005)
Shout - Tears for fears (DJ Alex tribal Mix)
Voices / Cars - The Police vs Gay Numan (White label mix)
Satellite of love - Lou Reed vs Groovefinder
Rocket Man - Elton John (Junior Vasquez remix)
Sail Away - Enya (Tiesto In search of sunnrise mix)

I hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did (and still do) and feel free to comment.

This is the 7th in the RRR series. The mix features numerous Ralphi Rosario productions and when you hear them you'll know why I included the mixes (brilliant!).

Completed in March 2009,this has been on my cd player a bit lately, with no particular favourite track, however, "let the sunshine in" by the fifth dimension (not the 5th element as I wrote on the cd cover!) always gets people's attention. Can't really imagine Bruce Willis and Mila J singing this one.

Relax, enjoy and comment!

The 5th in my RRR series and probably my best and all time favourite mix. Some of my personal faves include Blondie, Beach Boys (what an awesome mix!) and even a bit of Billy Idol. Gabriel and Dresden's mix of "Don't leave home" is the best Dido mix I have heard and contains a wonderful build up. Subtitled "Bring on the drums", this episode has a considerable amount of bass loops to keep the feet moving, along with plenty of chorus's to sing or humm along with. The lead into "Heart of glass", followed by the epic beginning to "Where the streets have no name" continues to get me to crank the volume up when I give the mix a spin.

"She don't like that" should bring a memory back for those Sydney residents (Manly Ferry - Circular Quay) around 40+ years.

Enjoy and comment!
