01/08/25 - Latest Mix. Sunset Session Vol. 60 - I've got that on Vinyl
This is Volume 60 — a milestone worth marking — so I thought I’d do something a little different.
Whist modern technology is great and it has made the scene much more accessible to everybody, I do feel that there is a bit of a lost art to manually beatmatching - and Sync button of not I think its very important that Every DJ is able to understand and do this rather than rely on what the waveforms are showing them
Of the back of that I present to you a vinyl-only mix. No digital, no USBs — just me, two turntables, and some of the records I’ve collected over the years. I’m calling it ‘I’ve Got That on Vinyl’
For me, it’s simply a chance to have a bit of fun whilst sharing some of the tracks from my much younger days.
It’s been about 15 years since I last properly spun vinyl, so this mix isn’t perfect - this should be interesting!
24/07/25 - Latest Mix Sunset Session Volume.59
We’re back to more familiar territory in Volume 59 of the Sunset Sessions as we return to the Hiatus series — a personal collection of mixes curated solely me, reflecting the music that's resonating with me in the moment.
This one’s actually a bit of a curveball — it features quite a few vocal trance tracks, which is a departure for me, as I’m usually not a huge fan of vocals in trance. But something about these tracks hit differently this time.
I have took a lot of inspiration for this mix from a lot or really cool radios how’s and Podcasts that are currently airing and I hope you enjoy. Let’s dive in.

24/05/25 - Latest Mix. Sunset Session Vol. 58
A couple of months back, Sunset celebrated its 20th anniversary with a very special mix put together by the original crew—myself, Col Webster, and Ant Smith.
For that mix, we set ourselves the near-impossible task of each choosing our top 10 tracks of all time. At the time, we joked that we could’ve easily just picked all the banging tunes from 1999—and not one person would’ve disagreed that every track would be an absolute classic. But… that felt like the easy way out. So, we pretty much dodged 1999 entirely.
But that gave us an idea…
What if we did a full mix solely dedicated to the year 1999?
Because if you know, you know: 1999 was the golden year for trance music.
So here it is: over the next 3 or so hours, you’ll hear 30 tracks, in no particular order, each one released in 1999. Pure classics, pure nostalgia, and pure energy.
