Neverrain Listeners,

I am currently in the midst of moving my company (2Advanced Studios), as well as my audio operations, into a brand new facility that will mark the end of a 6 year period at our current location, and begin a new era for us in a building that is nearly 10 times as large.

The operation is quite intense as I am designing most of the interior furniture myself (an endeavor which I have never taken on before), as well as building a dedicated audio studio on the top level which will house a state of the art mixing platform in an entirely soundprooof custom-built audio booth.

All the work going to into the furniture design, the move, and setup of the audio studio has completely taken up my time for this month, and so I must inform you that the next Neverrain mix will be available in April of 2008. I hope to see you all back here next month, where I plan to have a special set ready to go for your listening pleasure.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support,

Eric Jordan

Neverrain Listeners,

This month I bring you a set with such complexity that it defies any genre, which is always my goal. This set brings everything from progressive house, to breaks, to trance, to orchestral ambience. It is an artistic journey to a threshold of events that I think will occur in the year 2012. I prefer not to preach my ideas about what I believe will happen in 2012, but I do wish to explore it through audio as an artist. As a researcher of the Mayan calendar system, the "I-ching", and other timekeeping methods of ancient civilizations, I can only state that I believe something profound will happen in the year 2012. Despite numerous claims that the world will end in 2012, I choose to believe that something far more profound will happen....and this is my "auditory painting" of that event (For a visual exploration of my interpretation of 2012, please refer to the paintings that exist at 2advanced.com). Let your imagination interpret what it will, and enjoy the sounds.

*Tracklisting:

1. Miika Kuisma - "Time to Fade"

Neverrain Listeners,

This month's mix is slightly more upbeat, trancier, and delves more into borderline psy-trance / tribal-trance, compared with last month's set. I like to change it up to keep things interesting, so while last month's set carried more of a funky vibe, this is defintely a more mind-bending journey along a more serious path.

Enjoy the sounds as always.

Neverrain Listeners,

Coming at you a bit early this month, very eager to get this mix out for the weekend.

I really tried to push the sonic envelope this month, and steer the August mix into a special place. I tend to do this every August mix, looking back, maybe it's because my birthday is this month and I am always reminded of a sort of rebirth or transformation. Nevertheless, I don't think you will find the two hours of audio that comprise True North "typical", it has a very sweeping set of genres and moods. I find myself constantly refining my sound toward an inevitable complexification and intelligence that I seek, not just in music, but in life as well. And if complexification can be defined as the density of connections, well then I suppose I am ultimately trying to explain the unsaid connectedness that we all share with one another. I think that is the defining essense and power of music.

With that said, I bring you "True North".

Enjoy the sounds as always.

Neverrain listeners,

Its been a very busy month for me, so I am taking some time off and heading down to Las Vegas with the 2Advanced team for some much-needed R&R, but I will be back in June to start your Summer off with a new mix. I'll see you next month!

Neverrain Listeners,

The wait is over. Volume 2 of the two part series: "Shade & Aura" is here.

I will keep my words brief this time around, and let the set speak for itself.

I will, however, let you know that I have brought back a few classic tracks from my days in the underground, songs that taught me to see the light, even in times of darkness. The vinyl is extremely old and was put through many harsh conditions (such as live desert sets where dust storms would literally blow sand across the records). Fortunately, I've digitally remastered them exclusively for this set and worked them in via CD decks. Although the sound quality might not be up to par with what you are used to, I am sure the essence of the songs will reach you just the same.

Set aside about 2 hours for the journey, put on your headphones, and crank the volume.

This is "Aura".

Godspeed.

*Tracklisting:

1. Astrix - "Just in Time"
2. Tim Davison - "Banshee"
3. Sens Division - "Song of Peace" - RPO Rework

Neverrain Listeners,

We all go through dark times at one point or another in our lives, but we must make it our mission to find our way back to the light. I wanted to create a series of sets that explore this through sound, not necessarily all in one set, but in a 2 part mix.

It is my pleasure to bring you Volume 1 of this special 2-part series I am recording for March and April, centered around themes of light and dark.

This month's mix is the darker of the two sets, consisting of tech house and tribal/progressive trance. I don't typically spin alot of dark material...so I turned to my collection of tracks by an amazing producer, Rick Pier O'Neil, who's many releases find their way to the shelves of my wall of vinyl. O'neils tracks typically lean toward a very dark progressive sound, but are so well produced that I often stay up to date with everything he puts out. His sound really helped me to construct the feel I wanted for "Shade".....dark, intelligent, and very dance-floor worthy.

Stay tuned next month for the emergence into the light, with Volume 2 "Aura".

So please, put on your headphones and crank the volume for the next two months on Neverrain.

This is "Shade". Enjoy.
