Some words about the mix from the artist: I wanted to make a mix that was full of energy, bass, and overall fun and interesting songs. I picked some popular tunes, and some completely unknown tunes – hopefully bringing those lesser known artists into the light a bit. I also threw in a work in progress of mine, as well as a new tune entitled “The Only One”. I hope you enjoy the ride!
My thoughts: A great mix of current well known tracks with Varien’s unique taste still apparent, the ID, track premiere of “The Only One,” and debut of “One Night Only” from a mystery artist only serve to add more excitement. Creative transitions and a journey through genres aide in making this hour long mix an absolute pleasure to listen to. Enjoy the free download and be sure to show Varien some love on Facebook, Twitter, and Soundcloud.
In two weeks we will have another mix for you, look for the artist announcement of who it will feature next week!
