Phew. It took me long enough but my Barcelona Music Conference review is finally up, along with some pictures from that amazing night!

I hope you enjoy reading it, you can check it out by clicking here.

Oh yeah, I’m back, and this time I bring you a short 35 minute mix filled with great vocal tracks. Just what you need to get ready for a big Friday night. Speaking of which, DJ Chuckie will be in town this week, I guess it’s time for some Dirty Dutch!

As for this mix, the new Kaskade/Sultan/Shepard track is a monster and I’m in love with Deadmau5‘s remix of “The Longest Road”. Some may find it cheesy, but I think it’s the perfect finish to this mix. And what about that Jerome Isma-Ae remix of Michael Jackson?

I set up some new effects for this mix, they were fun. And in the end I just goof around with the filters. Nothing wrong with that, right?

Here is the tracklist and here is the link to download the 192 kps mp3 file. Enjoy!

DJ Bammer – September 2010 “Just Vocals” Mix by djbammer

1. Michael Jackson – Stranger in Moscow (Jerome Isma-Ae Remix)
2. Faithless feat. Cass Fox – Music Matters (Mark Knight Remix)
3. Sultan, Ned Shepard, Kaskade – Fire in your new Shoes (Sultan and Ned Shepard Remix)
4. Tomaz Vs Filterheadz – Sunshine (Tristan Garner 2010 Remix)
5. Ashtrax – Something to Get Through
6. Tracey Thorn – Grand Kanyon (Dirty South Remix)
7. Morgan Page – Longest Road (Deadmau5 Remix)

I honestly feel this is the best mix so far and is the longest I have done for the website (90 minute mix instead of the usual 70 minutes). This starts with very melodic progressive house and ends up with Trance, my favorite sort of mix and the one I feel more comfortable with. “Niton” is Pryda‘s new bomb and will go down as my song of the year I guess. And Max Graham has this amazing album called “Radio” which I had to represent with “Sun in the Winter”. Lovely tunes throughout the mix.

This mix is dedicated to a very special friend of mine, one who I will no longer take care of but will definitely miss. I hope you enjoy your new home, you will be in my heart forever little Tommy. Take care buddy, I will never forget you, that’s for sure… this one’s for you and I guess what they say is true: sadness really is the most sincere form of inspiration.

A couple of months ago I found a great Portuguese Facebook fan page called Swedish House Mafia Portugal. I started following their updates more and more, and realized they are not just about the SHM, they are all about sharing good music and educating the Portuguese crowd. In Portugal, people like to dance as much as anywhere else, but the taste in electronic music is pretty different from central Europe. This page has also the purpose of showcasing what’s hot out there, in festivals, Ibiza, big parties, etc.

I became such a fan of this page that I wanted to thank them in some way. What could I do? “A Tribute mix”, I thought. So here it is. All tracks are related to the SHM somehow, even if just being heavily featured on their tracklists. I hope you like it (most of these tracks have been featured here before). Don’t forget to check the Facebook page, I mean it! Swedish House Mafia Portugal

Here is the tracklist and the stream. You can also download the 192 kps file, as usual, by clicking here. Enjoy!

Minutes before rocking the Barcelona Music Conference!

It finally happened- third time’s a charm, they say. After seeing my hero play in Lisbon (Rock in Rio, 2008) and Ibiza (closing Cream, Amnesia, 2009), I was lucky enough to attend the Barcelona Music Conference in a small Club (Sotavento) with some of the great DJs, such as Eric Prydz, Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Groove Armada or DJ Chuckie. Paul van Dyk, of course, was also there (headlined the 2nd night) and I got to take a quick picture with him right before his set.

I was totally star-struck and couldn’t say anything else than “You are the fucking man, thank you for all that you’ve done”, to which he just smiled. I have dreamed for this moment for several years (even went to the Vandit office in Berlin once, trying to reach him) but it’s amazing that when it happens, you are NEVER prepared.

Paul van Dyk moved on to rock the place of course and then still found some time to take pictures and sign autographs before leaving under tight security. A night I will never forget.

Thank you PvD, you are my inspiration!
