Mid-month munchies

Welcome to another update of our very tasty blog and I hope your summer is going fucking awesome. A nice update I have to everyone's playlist with these tunes this month, I even threw in some dnb. I have been working on a set for you all the past couple weeks and thus the minimal trance tracks. Hope you all are stony and in the mood for nothing but my favorite tracks of the month.

I think this is one of the most played songs that me and my brother share on our ipods, and it is off an album worth purchasing, all who don't have it; I'm talking about In Search Of Sunrise 7 by Tiesto. The track is by Rachael Starr and its called To Forever, done up in a mix by Moonbeam. Been played 121 times on my ipod fyi. Another track I felt needed to be highlighted this month, is off his 6th In Searh Of Sunrise, and it just gives me the chills when I hear the vocals mixed seamlessly with the ambient sounds of the track, they really go together nice.
Rachael Starr - To Forever (Moonbeam Remix)
Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek (Tiesto Remix)

Next up is one of the top DJ's in my mind and is responsible for some great piano and guitar hooks in all of his songs. It is Roger Shah aka Sunlounger aka DJ Shah. The track I have for you today is off his new album titled Songbook and is called Don't Wake Me Up.
DJ Shah - Don't Wake Me Up

Time to take a trip to the other side of the music spectrum and enter the world of deep and dark dnb. First up is a familiar name to those of you that picked up the couple of tracks I threw at you all in a previous month, he goes by the name of Spor. He is one of the DJ's I have yet to see live and I don't think ill ever get the chance to since he is based in the UK but it definitely would be sick.
Spor - Powder Monkey

This next track is a collaboration between 2 giants of dnb, Teebee (half of Calyx&Teebee) and Future Prophecies. If this track doesnt get you moving back and forth in your chair, go see a doctor. Almost all tracks released by Future Prophecies has a certain flow to it that screams out old school dnb and just grabs your attention right away; so here is also a cut from their album Warlords Rising; fucking sick album name I know.
Teebee & Future Prophecies - Let The Bass Kick
Future Prophecies - Miniamba

Thats pretty much it from me this month; hope to get you all a taste of my first compilation next time. Peace, love & spliffs.

July: I'm back


Hello all, sorry about the delay on posting but I was on holiday for about a month and had no means of updating the blog. Fear not though, things will get back to normal now and you can expect an early mid-month munchies from Sessions in a few weeks.

With that said lets get this started.

Over this past year I have really enjoyed and discovered Cosmic Gate. If you haven't heard their fairly new CD called A Sign Of The Times, I suggest you get on it. Nic Chagall, the other half of Cosmic Gate, is fast becoming one of the top DJs in the world by producing amazing singles. Here is a fresh new one and a track on their latest album:


Alright incase you already don't know, Armin Van Buuren released his annual A State Of Trance 2009 album last month and it has taste written all over it. The first CD is called On The Beach and delivers some very relaxing tunes. The second is In The Club, enough said. Here are a couple from the new album and his most recent podcast show:

Dash Berlin, Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren- Man On the Run (Nic Chagall Remix)


And last but not least I am going to share with you a fantastic remix of Glenn Morrison's "Contact", which was originally on Tiesto's In Search Of Sunrise 6 Ibiza. Enjoy.


Motorcycle vs Glenn Morrison- Deep Breath Contact (Myon & Shane 54 Mashup)


Okay well that's it for now, see you all next month!
