Canada Line 2010 ~Olympic Gold Edition~

OK, so after fighting off urges to add more tracks yet again to this mix, I've forced myself to leave this mix alone forever. If I do add more songs, it will be because I'm making a new mix.

The title was inspired of course by Canada's gold medal performance during the Winter Olympics (I'm Canadian). Actually I happen to live right in Richmond, where the long track speed skating events took place and I was 30 minutes away from Downtown Vancouver so I definitely felt the Olympics. I'll also be feeling the heavy bill our city and country will have to be picking up for this 17 day party too...

So anyway here we have my longest mix yet clocking in just under 100 minutes and 18 songs. This is (Deep) House/Nu Jazz, not my usual trance mix.

I usually make these mixes for travel purposes, so if you have long commutes or travel times, I hope this mix eases you through them.

There are two versions, an mp3 version and an m4b version. The m4b version is for people who happen to have iPod touches/iPhones that support chapters, that way you can skip the start of every track within the mix!

So tell me what you think, if I should continue mixing this style of music or if I should go back to good ol' Trance.

Also... let me know what your favourite track was.

Canada Line 2010

So I went ahead and did it... I was looking at my music collection and adding new songs to it when some of them really jumped out and said "this should have been in Canada Line!"

So what did I do? I re-recorded Canada Line to include these songs. Right now I've sent out a pre-release version to a couple of friends to get some feedback. I'll release a final version once I'm satisfied.
