WEEKENDMIX 10.25.13: SOUNDS FROM THE CLOUDS

We love Soundcloud so much around here we often forget how much we depend on it and how it helps us do what we do. Thank goodness for the wondrous tools of this digital era! And please RIAA and you blood thirsty lawyers, keep away from Soundcloud.

Anyway, you know what else we’re grateful for? Our many followers on Soundcloud, especially the many members of our official Soundcloud group, 1200Dreams DJ Collective. These cats, DJs mostly of course, do more than keep us grooving, they inspire us, they motivate us, and occasionally we thank them.

Following are four mixes from some of our favorite contributors to our group. We have love and appreciate all the members, but these are the ones that I personally always find myself listening to the most. Each one of them posses a special talent, their mixes are not just strewn together pieces of music, but sweeping, symphonic, emotional soundtracks that always strike the right note. After a long week full of dealing with technical difficulties, corrupt databases, and internet outages that made me feel at times as if like fellow 1200Dreams writer Rescue Poetix says, I was living in the dark ages, I am in need of that right note once more. And who better than these DJs I have come to appreciate and in fact depend on over the last few years to fall back on?

I won’t be so selfish though and simply just cover myself in the blanket of comfort these mixes provide, I want to thank them. Hence I present their mixes here for your pleasure as well in hopes that you get familiar with these DJs who may or may not be on the verge of super DJ stardom, who do it in their basements cuz they love it, dreaming of rocking a mega club, a grand festival or maybe just their local pub.

Whatever the long term goals of these specific DJs may be, what they are putting out these days, consistently, deserves recognition. So, thank you guys for the magic you create, for lifting my spirits, alleviating if for but a few hours the weight of everyday life. Thank you and don’t ever stop.
