Libertad - Dark Progressive House, Trance, Breaks (20 Year Anniversary Mix)
Twenty years ago after attending many underground parties, I first got my hands on a friends turntables. I was hooked! Soon after I bought a Vestex PMC05 with Technic 1200 MKII’s and I spent hours tucked away learning to spin hard trance, never thinking I would continue to do so 20 years later. It has been my therapy and an artistic outlet. This creative outlet has lead me to explore for countless hours different genres and sounds, learning variations of mixing skills along the way. If I could give any advice to new commers it’ this; record whatever you play and listen to it. It will help you perfect your craft. Learn to beat match without autosync. It helps dial in your ear. Learn the timing and perfect the transition. It will bring your sets to life! Tell a story. Figure out where you want to start, where you want to end, where to place your peaks, and when to pull back. Get the blance right. Learning to use trim and EQ will create perfect blends. Lastly, have fun experimenting and don’t give up! Thank you all for listening and now for Libertad. Libertad is a culmination of songs that balance 20 years of musical styles I‘ve played. With Deep Progressive House/Trance starting at 130 BPM and slowly increases along the way ending with a breaks tribute paying homage to the 90’s big beats where I started. Photo Credit: Wendy Luna
