2016 March Quantum of Solace (CX Lounge)

First Quantum of Solace (CX Lounge)

I really should start with the simple fact that I have put myself on a hiatus..
Several reasons for my current status:

A) Life is currently non-linear and the pressure to keep this podcast up to what I believe should be my standards would not really bring any escape.

B) I had found that laately what I uploaded was at best mundane. If I do not feel it, why should I do it? Furthermore I am currently over soulful house, I do need to really get very far away from it for a while to start feeling it again.

C) I played a long set on New Years’s Eve and though not bad same non-urge to publish it.

D) What happens once every two years, my library got corrupted. I had to bite the bullet and migrate to my new mac, having lost most edits and settings. To rebuild a library to the structure I need takes a lot of time and tagging and I simply do not have that luxury at the present time.

But here I am, travelling overseas, facing lounge downtime, flight downtime, hotel room downtime, all those little quanta of Solace conducive to trying to redefine where I would like to be musically should life settle down a tad.

My current headspace is progressive, ambient, trance-like and possibly harder-like in the near future.

Playlist is approximate due to library corruption just when I had closed the set. The format is based around one or two keys, starts around 120 bpm to go to 136 and brings you down back to 122.
A few on-the-fly edits, a very cheeky mashup I will get in trouble for (Rick Astley trancified really ;) and yes a bit of true trance..

Absolutely 100% Live with all the traps inherent with such an endeavour where no post-edit is possible..
