8. Astrix: Sex Style (Orkidea re-edit)

This is a bit older one (from 2007) I have missed for some reason which Oakenfold has been using as set opener lately and I spotted it from one of his recent sets. Amazing melody and (as always with Astrix) the production is spot on too. There were some super weird and annoying male vocal samples though in the original which I edited away. I had the honour to do the warm up for Astrix in Helsinki in February and he was very good live and such a laid back and down to earth guy too. And if you haven't heard his 'Massive Activity' track then go and check it out because it's one of the best trance tracks ever!

7. Solarstone vs Orkidea: Zeitgeist

Follow up to our 2008 collaboration 'Zeitgeist'. This was done when Rich was over DJing in Helsinki and we decided to take a slightly more uplifting direction this time around. Result is a 135 bpm old school vibey, driving, big room trancer which got it's premier in Ferry's radio show last week and will be featured on the new Solarstone album. This was originally a 100bpm downtempo chill out piece Rich had written which was actually also the case with 'Slowmotion'. I like Rich's approach to first _compose_ the track (often with just a piano) fully before going into production mode. Please let me know what you think and also if you have some ideas for remixer I'm more than happy to take suggestions:)

Love the oldskool vibes in a modern 2010 coat! I'd say why not let Bart Claessen take a shot at it? ;)

Shane couldn't come due his friend's wedding (or something like that) and Myon couldn't play at all because his laptop's sound card f****d up right before the set. Joys of digital DJing...

Damm, I wanted to hear him playing :(
Just wondering if that ever happend to Pete Tong, probably yes, thats why he's using 2 Macs lol
