With the advent of electronic music making its way into music more and more, DJ Trademark teamed up with The Kollection to bring a bi-monthly mix that serves to highlight underplayed, and at times not-as-known, “perfect-for-parties” music. This just under hour-long mix is full of pulsating and high-energy tracks that should have you turning up the volume in no time. I had heard of a couple – “L’Amour (Original Mix)” by the Bingo Players and Set Fire To The Rain (A Stupid Hole Bootleg)” by Cazzette come to mind – but the majority of these, on their own, are certainly deserving of individual plays. Combining them into a mix results in the music you want while at the gym, pregaming, and/or for starting your own rager. For a first mix, in hopefully an on-going series with The Kollection, I would say this is pretty good and I look forward to seeing what Trademark brings us in 2 weeks.
Here’s DJ Trademark’s thoughts on the mix – “This first mix in the series is really a reflection of where music is at in clubs around the world. I tried to encompass the drops that artists like Bingo Players and Chuckie are using in their records as well as those stadium hooks and leads that Axwell, Nicky Romero and Michael Woods are famous for. The last four tracks in this mix are packed with some of the best sounds house music has to offer, ending with a fresh take on maybe the biggest anthem of dance music thus far, “One More Time”. With festival season right around the corner, these are the tracks that have those warm weather vibes and melodies to keep your head bouncing.”
