HighGlow Music presents: Stardust

HighGlow Music presents: 'Stardust'

My apologies to everyone for the long wait for this months mix, but this is a special month and I had it delayed for one good reason… to be released as a celebration on my actual birth day, the 30th of October.

As this is the starting month of the Scorpio sign, it is an inspirational and very spiritual period for me, and so I chose a theme that will help me to reflect these emotions to all of you through a deep journey of atmospheric and captivating melodies. The same time it is a theme that has being a great artistic challenge for capturing it’s essence through sound and vision; by delivering to you as well a more unique artwork behind the music.

So put your best headphones on, lay back and let ‘Stardust’ take you to a journey through the stars.

‘Stardust’ - Part 01 - mixed by Loris

A much longer set than the usual HighGlow releases, this is a deep journey of dreamy, atmospheric and emotional melodies through 18 special selections of some of my most favourite productions ever.

I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I did putting it together.

‘Stardust’ - Part 02 - Guest mix by DJ JD

For this month’s guest mix I especially invited my friend DJ JD to compile for us an exclusive set based on his unique style that I have been enjoying for the last years. His chillout/ambient mixes are some of the best that I’ve ever heard delivering a great flow of emotional music. As he’s a firm believer in themes, vibe and quality over quantity it was an obvious choice for me for this month.

Jeremy’s affinity for deep, epic and uplifting trance was spawned from the sounds of DJ Precision, Aly & Fila and Armin’s earlier “A State of Trance” mixes. In the past 5 years, his track selection has expanded to progressive, lounge and vocal trance. During the same time, he discovered a passion and talent for creating chill out mixes. Using the pseudo-pseudonym DJ JD, the original “Kick Back – Session 1” was released in July, 2005. To date, 10 more sessions have followed, bringing with them an influx of exposure and a growing fan-base.

For the ‘Stardust’ guest mix he blends a unique and rather ambitious collection of EDM sounds and styles. Never straying from the core theme of the release, it opens subtly, but with energy and winds down with the most poignant of melodic chill.

A give special thanks to Jeremy for this mix, and I hope you all enjoy it.
