Vibe Rater Podcast #32 (Madre Noce Mix) [Mixed by Ketana]

No tracklist currently for this one, but a great listen nonetheless. From the warmth of the early stages, the energy levels gradually climb to leave your mind in a higher place.

Vibe Rater Podcast#31 (Pure.Unadulterated Evil) [Mixed by DJ Horsfall]

DJ Horsfall indulges his dark side with an eerily well-executed effort. Spooky synths give way to shady basslines, remaining danceable rather than head-nodding. Even then, there's the usual variety of styles that you've come to expect.

Vibe Rater: The Classics#5 (Ali's Mash Up Mix Vol. 2)

A truly insane collection of tunes on this one, with seventy-five tracks squeezed into just over half an hour. Featuring some funky ass shit and sharp rhymes, deep vibes interspersed with silly vocals, beats both sped up and wound down, raving renegades and 90s heroes, this is an incredible feat of sound that even the Scratch Perverts would be proud of. Just sit back and enjoy.

Vibe Rater Podcast#30 (Shameless Cheese!) [Mixed by DJ Horsfall]

Coming from a man who has been described sometimes as shameless, but never cheesy, the mix features goodies from Justin Martin and Lake People, plus a killer remix of Jakatta. Some really uplifting moments in this one.

Vibe Rater Podcast#29 (Bed Time Mix) [Mixed by No Regrets]

Surely one of the most distinctive VR mixes of recent times. It's hard to put together something with a calmer vibe without descending into dreariness but this is a truly gorgeous soundscape from No Regrets, with some downtempo beats and chilled-out dubstep to stir the emotions and soothe the soul. Featuring great tunes from A Sagittariun, Phaeleh and Jon Hopkins among others.

Vibe Rater Podcast #28 (Abletricky) [Mixed by DJ Horsfall]

A housey mix from DJ Horsfall sees him explore lots of different sounds, going rather trippy in the middle (as I like to see) and ending things on a bit of a high.

Vibe Rater: The Classics#4 (End Of Year 2011 Mix) [Mixed by Ihsaan]

Some really good stuff came out in 2011. Here's my annual overview from almost three years ago.
