As mentioned in my post yesterday - the long hot summer we've been having has limited my computer time and so I haven't been putting mixes together or posting very much.  However, I was enjoying my Naked Light mix last night and thought it was about time I shared something.  I particularly like this mix as it draws down music from rock, alt rock and progressive rock genres and then blends them together.  As with some of my mixes, I try to include some homegrown Kiwi music and so on this mix I've added a local Auckland band called Villainy with a track titled "Paradise Lost".&nbs ..read more

Hi all, Summer here has meant I've not had a lot of computer time and hence my lack of posts.  However, I'm listening to a great mix tonight and I'll post it here tomorrow for your listening pleasure. Best wishes Skylord99 ..read more

Happy New Year!  Here's a mix that I made to listen to on short hop flights but thanks to Covid -  I haven't yet had a chance to fly and to listen to this at altitude....  This is a bit different to a lot of my other mixes and I found it quite challenging to sequence.  However, having listened to it again yesterday, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  It opens with an ethereal track from Clinton Shorter that I used to segue into "Zeit Maschine" from A Silent Noise.  I've combined a few instrumentals in this mix as the effect I was trying to create was a flow ..read more

Well I'm back from my recent break due to our house being packed up to get some renovations done.  They're now completed and I've got all my gear set back up again just in time for Xmas break.  Thank goodness as not having the stereo for several weeks has been a killer. To get back into it I've got a compilation to share that I titled Midnight Rain.  I had a few songs sitting in a folder that I'd been looking to mix.  One night I was lying in bed listening to a thunderstorm and couldn't sleep so I got up and got to work. For a bit of fun I added a little bit of rain as an i ..read more

In case anyone was wondering why there haven't been any new compilations posted of late - it's because my house is in the midst of a major renovation and I've had to pack up all my equipment and only have a small laptop to use. I'm told that because of the delays in getting supplies, the work may not be completed until January.......hopefully not that late.  Anyway, I'll be back posting just a soon as I can get myself set up again ..read more

Things have been a little busy in my world of late, hence the reason I haven't been posting much.  Hopefully that'll change soon and I'll get a chance to spend some more time at my computer and work on some new compilations.  Radar Heart is a mix I did a few months ago, which is a nice blend of pop and rock music that's an easy listen.  Hope you like it..... Tracklist: 01 - War / Rain - Johnossi 02 - Breakfast At Sweethearts - Cold Chisel 03 - Waste A Moment - Kings Of Leon 04 - Switchblade Heart - Goodbye June 05 - Long Line Of Cars - Cake 06 - What Else Is There? - Royksopp ..read more

I'm currently in full lockdown and things have gotten just a little bit quiet in my neighborhood so I felt it was time to create a bit of noise. This compilation is a mix of Alt Rock tracks that will appreciate a bit of volume to maximise the effect......if you know what I mean :-) Tracklist: 01 - Remember When - Bad Wolves 02 - Any Moment Now - Finger Eleven 03 - Voices - Alesti (feat. Loveless) 04 - Kill The Lights - The Colour 05 - Hurricane - Needtobreathe 06 - The Rallying Cry - Black Nazereth 07 - Morning After - Dead By Sunrise 08 - Somewhere Beautiful - Ra 09 - Help (Remastered) - Pa ..read more

My Storm Chaser compilation starts off a little tongue-in-cheek with 80's track Precious Little Diamond from Fox The Fox followed by the immediately recognizable voice of Marc Bolan from T-Rex with Ballrooms Of Mars. The mix includes songs from a couple of Kiwi artists - Evermore and Pluto as well as tracks from a couple of favourite Oz neighbors Jimmy Barnes and James Reyne. I also threw in a mash-up called Holes In My Disposition with Mercury Rev & The Temper Trap, which I feel puts in place a reflective interlude after Trouble Andrew's song New Kid before heading into the last 4 tr ..read more

Well I'm back.  Finally got ourselves a new home and have finally moved in......well mostly.  I'm slowly getting things back to normal so thought I'd go through my archives and see if I could find a mix to share.  This one's titled "Keep It Real", which is kinda appropriate for me given the state of transition we are in by moving cities. It's got a nice prog-rock feel to it and has a some of my favourite artists on it like RPWL, Starset and Geoff Tate.  Hope you enjoy it. Tracklist: 01 - I Walk Beside You - Dream Theater 02 - In Your Dreams - RPWL 03 - The Mystic Technocr ..read more

I'm going to be taking a short break from this blog while we move house to another city.  As you can imagine, there's a lot to be done and so I've got to spend a bit more time doing things like packing and organizing our move. Back in a few weeks ..read more
