The Phil-Harmonic Podcast Episode 76

Hello all,

A cracking podcast for you this week and one that I've been excited about sharing for a few weeks now. This week's is also the first episode to be broadcast in my new Friday 9pm slot on The Renegade Transmission.

In the first half hour, there are 3 really nice vocal tracks, including Venom One's Crashed & Burned on Coldharbour and a return to form for legends, Gabriel & Dresden. Moving on from there, we have a raft of really awesome techy, electro edged tunes, Heatbeat and Chris Schweizer delivering plenty of audio damage. One mistake this week was accidentally playing the Extended Mix of Orbithing instead of the Chris Schwezier mix as was planned. But the original is pretty special all the same.

One feature of this show, and next week's episode, is that despite quite a progressive feel overall, I've tried to push it into more traditional trance territory by the end. This is going to be a quite deliberate new tactic of the podcast as we move into 2014, as I cut back on the general 'big room' housey-ness that I slipped into at times earlier in the year, in favour of some more genuine trance music. Not that I have anything against this 'big room', Hardwell-esque sound, it's just a conscious decision that it is no longer what my podcast is about.

Also, the track that we end on is extremely fitting at the moment, albeit completely coincidentally. I will hopefully be able to explain why next weekend, as promotion for my next gigs goes into overdrive.
