2014 April Introspection 3.0




House is a Journey show

Summary: Introspection 3.0 (Happy Easter ! ! ) Dim the light, grab a book and prepare to chill. Also suitable for work, children, pets, lovers etc…   Third and last iteration of the Introspection series. Not only because it may be time to stop looking at my navel and change vibe but also because I think this set wraps it up nicely.   Deep, Progressive, Indie House with a distinct lounge and ambient feel. I should have called it “Xtian goes Chill” for it is very rare for me to stay between 120/122 bpm.   Except for some dubious mixing towards the end, I am overall satisfied to have kept one single vibe, atmosphere and direction from the first to the last track.   I was chatting on FB with a friend of mine, who very eloquently described our sounds as “pop with a deep house feel and beat”.. Well, Tim, let’s hope it sticks.   Not quite sure where I will go next. I am still longing for a blast in the past to vocal Trance but need to make sure I have enough decent current tracks before I invest time into it. In the recent past every time I tried, I wasted hours only to leave the set unfinished.   If not, we will tend to a Frankie Knuckles and Soulful House Live set, which I am preparing for a party in May. If any good, I will definitively post it.   We shall see!     Playlist:     2012 Unobtainable Intro (German Mix).  World of Intros 2013 Savanna (Jelly for the Babies Remix) [Xtian Taki Edit].

U-Ness &  JedSet     Highlights:   “Savanna” from Jericho Ismael Jelly for the babies on remix duties. Another European act from Zagreb (Croatia). Track gave the perfect setting for the chill ambient atmosphere I wanted to create.   A bit of dubious mixing later, “Your Softness” from Third Chapter. Big bass, clever synth and a male voice I like..   “Open my Eyes” from Jam Xpress feat Charlie (AUS). Local talent from Melbourne (Andy Murphy is in the back of all that).. Great track, exactly what my current vibe is.. Production is impeccable!   “Lovebreak” from Tube & Berger, track I had been told about by lars, which I actually had already on my HD.. Try Indie, Progressive, Deep with a dash of funk.. Not bad and all in one.. Former Beatport number 1 with a charity album..   “Be Mine” from Lane 8, haunting track I may have used recently ( did not feel like checking), felt right to drop, listen to the build up, the production.. Big BIG bass line again.. from America part of the Anjuna Deep crew..   Betoko “UR my Sunshine”…  Betoko would be in my current top five creators.. Beto Cohen is originally Mexican, living in the UK. I would hate to put a genre on his talent.. It is just great, amazing music.. The Chicane of this decade..   “The Place I Know” from Andréa Fissore. Possibly my favourite track of the set.. I had my children dancing to this very Balearic modern track. Listen to that guitar and try telling me you are not on the Mediterranean. Andrea is Italian living in Vienna.. Latin flair and Viennese sense of perfection.. Can’t be much better.   “You Said” from the Nightri(continued)
