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.
