About the Mix

The basic theme: melancholic, moody music.

Here’s a mix that simply blew me away when I first heard it. It has all the right ingredients, smooth flow with ubelieveable tracks. Kompressorkanonen posted it to the discogs board (original thread is here), where he acts as a very active contributor mind you, but since he had no permanent hosting for it, I asked him if I could publish the mix on DR. This mix needs to be heard as many people as possible, it’s just that simple. Deep dance music just doesn’t get any better than this and combined with all the love and care Ørjan put into crafting this it’s hardly surprising that some call it a “masterpiece”. In his own words:

Me:

  • Music nut/raver/record collector/bedroom DJ
  • most of my collection is actually techno and ambient sounds, but I have a
    soft spot for deepness as well
  • Motto: “Raving is a way of life. In fact, I’m raving right now. I’m going
    to bed soon and I’m gonna rave there too.” (- Max Duley – quoted from
    memory).

The mix:

Conceived in terms of mood, not a specific genre – so there’s both early 90’s deep house here as well as more techno-influenced sounds such as Orlando Voorn and Maarten van der Vleuten (“Living in a Fantasy” was THE retro-discovery for me last year). The basic theme: melancholic, moody music that moves me – with a few diversions thrown in. I suppose my love of techno shines through quite a bit (it usually does with me). Hope you like it!
