Vibe Rater Podcast #21 (Final Chapter: The Light Side) [Mixed by Ishan]

We come to the end of the series with this, a mix where I leave the brutal techno to one side for something more cheery and uplifiting. It's been loads of fun doing the podcast. Thanks to my chums who put together some quality mixes over the last couple of years and, of course, thanks to the listeners!

All of the mixes will still be available to listen to or download from this blog. You can also stream all the mixes from my Mixcloud page - frankly, at higher quality than the podcast hosting would allow me to upload.

Later!

Vibe Rater Podcast #20 (All By Myself...) [Mixed by DJ Horsfall]

DJ Horsfall’s VR swansong (for now) features quite an astonishing array of beats, including some of the most atmospheric dubstep around and a smooth helping of drum ‘n’ bass. A real treat.

Vibe Rater Podcast #19 (Final Chapter: The Dark Side) [Mixed by Ishan]

With Vibe Rater drawing to something of a close, I've put together a two-part mix to say goodbye. This is probably what you'd expect from me... the moody, murky side of techno. Credit to the excellent Dub Techno Blog for bringing to my attention a lot of the stuff at the start of the mix.

Look out later this week for a mix from DJ Horsfall, before the very final chapter.

Vibe Rater Podcast #18 (A Tribal Session) [Mixed by Ishan]

This is a mix I put together a while back, for Ketana's tribal-themed party. While I was originally going for exotic electronica and tribal drums, followed with some beats, the mix shamelessly descends into house/techno before a bit of uplifting trance. Probably my least refined, most danceable mix!
