ORIGINAL RELEASE NOTES

Overdrive is a mix I did at a party where they asked me to break out the oldskool dance tunes. It turned into a massive trip down memory lane featuring many of the tracks that first got me hooked on electronic music in the late 90’s. Practically every song has a special meaning for me personally and I hope they make you guys feel a bit nostalgic too. If not, educate yourself on those classic basslines! Overdrive kicks off around the 136bpm mark and works all the way up to an absolutely mental 160bpm’s. With 45 tracks it goes for over 2 hours so put it on and dance the night away!

Hi Strex…i always looking forward to listen to some of your new streams. I first heard somthing from you during my east coast Visit in Australia! And i juats can say: I love your style! It´s compleatly different from streams we are used to from famous German DJ´s. I am sure you already heard about famous european Dj´s like Luciano, Ricardo Villalobos, James Holden, Richie Hawtin, Karotte or Pete Brooks? But other wise… you are a couple of miles away ;) So I´ve you are interested in good European Electronica, just check this side out !!! http://www.ump3.de/audio/ You´ll love it!!! Always a pleasure…greeting from Germany! Herby…

Herby from Germany

Hey man, i noticed that on myspace there was some albums cover. Would be great if you could post them to your site some where. Cheers

Average

thanks for your mixes. They are always awesome. Don’t want to push my luck but would be great to get them in full 320kbps so we can really crank that stereo quality sound. :) Most peeps have ADSL these days so the extra few MB won’t put us off downloading quality beats. Thanks again.

Jas

So many classics on here bringing back memories… Aaaaaaaaamokk! Nice mix, Strex, any chance of a .cue file?

Rob

A CUE file wouldn’t work for this mix as it goes for longer than is allowed on an audio CD. This one’s for the iPod!

Overdrive!!!! What else can you say apart from “WOW” Superb collection of eclectic and progressive tracks and smoothly cut together to create one of the best heard banging mixes.

Noaksie

Hi m8, awesome mix like the rest. about that cue file … we use it to split the trax into multiple mp3’s … there is more to cue than cd burning :)

Where were you?

If Overdrive was on your iPod, in your car or burned to a CD by somebody else, say so. It's the only part of the archive I can't recover on my own.
