New Year/Winter Selection 2026

Thank you. Had fun putting this together on a cold Monday morning ❄️

@michael-fall Melodic house and techy prog work so well -omg 'walking on fire' Such a tune

@dompardey Yes it does. I think this version (Walking on Fire) is slightly better than the original.

@michael-fall I always loved the original. Haunting. This bedrock version doesn't improve on it 'What a trainspotter I am!'

@dompardey I will put the original in a set at some point this year 😉

@michael-fall great decision. A mae of mine used to swear by Steve Murano bedrock remixes. On good speakers they sounded sick

@dompardey Keep it simple: if it sounds good I will play it. 😎

@michael-fall listenind back to them, it could be Pryz. It's the start of fucking EDM

@dompardey Haha, perhaps. I think I was sounding more like John 00 Fleming between tracks 16-18.

@michael-fall your work on a cold monday morning has warmed my cockles for the rest of the week. top lad! m

Thank you for listening. Yes, it journeys down different paths with even some electronica thrown in. It, for the most part, stays in the progressive camp. That first track by 'Inner and Key' is the second track I have played from them, because I played a track of theirs in my previous set.

@michael-fall I will have to look them up, their sound resonates with me a lot 😻

Because my 'sonic palette' spans different sub-genres the set develops, initially, in my head as I begin collecting new tracks. So, in a space of a few weeks the tracks for mix are mostly gathered. It's then programming them in a cohesive order, adding tracks and taking tracks away, finding secondary tracks to use as a bridge between tunes and also any classics that I might add to the set to ground the mix if needed. I never play the same track twice, only remixes of a track, because I like it to be unique to that particular set - gives it character, I believe, and longevity.

@michael-fall Great process. I love sets that have diverse sub-genres, it keeps things interesting, particularly with Progressive House, it can be boring if it's the same all the way through. And I also love 'classics' with modernity, they are undeniably powerful, people always resonate with those.

Thank you, Liz. I'm glad you enjoyed the mix - I thought if you listened that the prog tracks would resonate with you. 🙏

@michael-fall yeah you know me and my love of prog 😍

@LizCDreher Prog is all about the layering (as you know). It's hypnotic on the dancefloor and locks in a groove, but can be very samey if not programmed for a journey.

Haha! Yes, It's from 2001? I think I went a bit John 00 Fleming between tracks 16-18.

I think my sound's always 'evolved' over time. Good tracks are pulled from a variety of sources. New sub-genres are created and older sub-genres have their time to shine for a new generation.

Thank you, Sir! 🙏🎧😎

Haha! Yes, the mix is a bit deeper, progressive with some techno/tribal 'filth' thrown in. A wintry mix - colder in tone.

@michael-fall subtle start, brilliant build up and fantastic finish! so much to love and wide smile into '26! played a blinder, mike! m
