Latest ‘Unwind’ Mixes
Unwind (Vol 35)
Beautiful soundtracks of memorable films have always been an inspiration to my Unwind mixes. This mix features quite a few as well as a brand new mashup of a song by Keane and another by Mike Oldfield.
Unwind (Vol 34)
A personality test I took revealed freakishly accurate stuff about me. It made me realize my motivations for creating these mixes which is to harness the power of music to somehow make you feel better and have a more positive outlook in life. This mix is all about that.
Unwind (Vol 33 – Guest Mix on ‘Solitudes’)
My first mix of the year is a short and sweet one I made as a guest mix on Martin Grey’s long-running Solitudes show. I had fun putting this one together, and you’ll especially love the Coldplay’s track I mixed in for you here.

Drifter (Vol 9) – In Memory of Nabil
To my dear friend Nabil: the time soon comes for parting, and our time is at an end. Rest in peace my friend.
Drifter (Vol 8)
This mix is dedicated to the wonderful people behind Ambient-Nights.org, who I have the pleasure of recently joining as part of the Ambient-Nights Mixer Family (ANMF). AN has a massive catalog of Ambient mixes you don’t want to miss if you are a fan of this genre.
Drifter (Vol 7) – with Tonepoet
This is the second leg of my collab with Tonepoet. We called it “As the World Comes into Focus”, and it is essentially an exploration of our inner senses as we drift in and out of consciousness. You may recognize this feeling from a time when you drifted off to sleep and then brought back somehow to faint awakening, only to drift back afterwards into a peaceful and restful sleep.

Trance Nchantment (Vol 12)
Have you ever dreamt of escaping your current reality with someone you love and going somewhere only you know? This mix is inspired by such fantasy. It features some truly amazing vocals and uplifting tunes as well as a new mashup by yours truly.
Trance Nchantment (Vol 11)
I think this will turn out to be one of my favorite Trance mixes of all time! Starts with a memorable chillout version of Paul van Dyk’s “Time of Our Lives”, then it launches into an incredible blend of uplifting and vocal Trance tunes that are each worth their weight in gold, let alone being all mixed into one free-flowing masterpiece.
