Liner Notes
Mix 36 is a different animal. At 51 minutes with 19 tracks, it’s a focused club set rather than a marathon journey. But the DNA is the same — and if anything, the shorter format makes the emotional choices hit harder because there’s nowhere to hide them.
The Club Opener
Cloonee & Dances’ “To the Beat” into James Hype’s “Vibrate” into Borai & Denham Audio’s “Make Me.” Three tracks, pure function — get the floor moving. No preamble, no atmospheric intro. This mix knows where it’s going and wastes zero time getting there. By the four-minute mark you’re already locked in.
The Céline Dion Pivot
At 14 minutes — barely a quarter of the way through — Céline Dion’s “The Power of Love” appears. Then immediately, the Cyril Remix. This is the move that defines the mix. You take one of the most iconic power ballads ever recorded — a song about absolute, overwhelming love — and you put it in the middle of a house set. The original hits first, just long enough for recognition and emotion. Then the remix recontextualises it: this feeling belongs on the dancefloor too. It’s vulnerability with a four-on-the-floor beat underneath.
The Nostalgia Current
Nelly Furtado’s “Say It Right” at 22:00. Disclosure’s “You & Me” at 24:30. These are songs that carry their own emotional weight from the eras they belong to. “Say It Right” is 2006. “You & Me” is 2013. Neither is current in 2024 — that’s the point. They’re memory triggers, dropped into a modern house set like messages in bottles.
The Latin Turn
“Beso (Fruta Fresca)” and “Patadas de Ahogado (Deep House Mix)” bring a Latin flavour that’s new territory compared to the earlier mixes. The mix is expanding its palette — six years and 35 mixes in, the sound is evolving. But it’s still doing the same thing: taking songs that carry cultural and emotional meaning and placing them where they can resonate differently.
Lane 8, Still Here
Track 17: Lane 8’s “Loving You” (Solee Remix). Even in a 51-minute club set, even after 36 mixes, Lane 8 still appears. At this point it’s more than a preference — it’s a ritual. The track arrives at 44:15, near the end, doing what Lane 8 always does in these mixes: pulling the energy inward just before the close.
The Creed Ending
The mix closes with Creed’s “One Last Breath” — first a house remix, then the original hard rock version. Creed. In a DJ mix. Read that again. This is a post-grunge rock ballad about being at the edge, about asking for one more chance, and it’s the last thing you hear. It takes the same courage to close a dance mix with Creed as it does to drop Céline Dion at the 14-minute mark. Both choices say the same thing: the feeling matters more than the genre. If a song carries emotional truth, it belongs in the mix. Period.
The first mix opened with “Cole’s Memories.” Mix 36 closes with “One Last Breath.” Thirty-six mixes later, it’s still about the same thing — using music to say the things that are hard to say out loud.
