RECORDS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE: PART 3

FIRST HEARD THIS AT CLUB ASYLUM (RIP) IN THE YEAR 2000 PLAYED BY DJ MATT FREEMAN, THE GUY WHO GOT ME INTO DJ'ING, AND WHO I LATER TOOK OVER HIS RESIDENCY IN 2001. I WAS INTO THE TRANCE/HARD HOUSE SOUND AT THE TIME, AND THIS WAS A RECORD THAT REALLY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION, AND ONE I STILL CONTINUE TO ENJOY AND PLAY AT CLUBS. WORQ IT!!

RECORDS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE: PART 2

THIS NEXT RECORD WAS ONE I HEARD IN 2002 IN COLUMBUS, OHIO AT A STOP OF SASHA AND DIGWEED'S DELTA HEAVY TOUR. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DIDN'T HAVE THE PLEASURE OF SEEING ONE OF THESE SHOWS, IT WAS A TRULY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE. S&D BASICALLY BROUGHT AN ARENA SHOW INTO A SMALLER CLUB SETTING. ARENA SIZED SOUND SYSTEM, INCREDIBLE VISUALS, AND THE ATMOSPHERE ONLY SASHA AND DIGWEED CAN BRING TO A PARTY.

WHEN SASHA DROPPED THIS RECORD AROUND 1AM, THEY CRANKED THE MASSIVE PHAZON SOUND SYSTEM UP ABOUT 20DB AND IT LITERALLY BLEW MY HAIR BACK IT WAS SO INCREDIBLY LOUD. YET ANOTHER LIFE CHANGING MOMENT FOR ME. I WISH YOU COULD HAVE BEEN THERE. THIS IS THE RECORD. PLAY IT AS LOUD AS YOU CAN!!

RECORDS THAT CHANGED MY LIFE: PART 1

I'M GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS OF DIGITIZING MY FAVORITE RECORDS RIGHT NOW, AND I FIGURED I'D SHARE SOME OF THEM WITH ALL OF YOU. THE FIRST ONE I THOUGHT I'D POST IS THE RECORD THAT FOREVER CHANGED MY PERCEPTION ON ELECTRONIC MUSIC.

IT WAS BY CHANCE I HEARD PAUL OAKENFOLD'S "LIVE AT GATECRASHER" ESSENTIAL MIX FROM 1999 AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AROUND THE YEAR 2000. I WAS ALREADY SOMEWHAT INTO ELECTRONIC MUSIC AT THIS POINT, BUT LISTENING TO THAT MIX CHANGED MY LIFE. OAKENFOLD WAS ON TOP OF HIS GAME, AND TRANCE WASN'T THE GARBAGE IT HAS TURNED INTO THESE DAYS. HEARING THIS RECORD DROPPED IN FRONT OF A LIVE AUDIENCE WAS INCREDIBLE TO ME, EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE THE PLEASURE OF ACTUALLY BEING THERE.

IF YOU'RE A DJ, AND YOU'VE HAD THE RARE CHANCE TO SEE A CROWD BECOME ONE SINGULAR BEING, THAT'S HOW YOU COULD TELL THIS RECORD MADE PEOPLE FEEL. AND I FELT LIKE I WAS ONE OF THEM RIGHT THEN LISTENING TO IT. ANYWAY, I'M RAMBLING, SO HERE IT IS. I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS RECORD AS MUCH AS I DO, EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT A BIG TRANCE FAN. AND I HOPE YOU'VE HAD A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON SO FAR. PART 2 COMING TOMORROW...
