DJ Mix of the Day: Element – Escape from Reality (June 2011)

I don’t always listen to Progressive Psytrance but when I do I have extremely picky tastes. Don’t ask me why but Prog. Psy never really sat well with me as it first began to develop because far too many DJ’s tried to play the same, tired mix structure as you’d here in normal Trance genres.

Shpongle – Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland Review

Within that time, I played around a lot with the DJ Console and found it to be a pretty interesting piece of hardware. For those that want to begin DJing now, the Hercules DJ Console MKII is a pretty inexpensive mp3 controller to get you started DJing without the major investment in a pair of turntables.
