We're saying Progressive House here as a primary tag, but that's just because it's such a general and friendly label. It's also everything in the other tags. Maybe more. I forget things.

Track 4, which cues in at 00:12:55, is a rework of an old Heaven 17 song that I made by cutting and smooooshing back together multiple versions of the song. I suppose it turned out okay, and I can upload it separately if anyone has an interest. (I honestly don't know how many Heaven 17 fans are running around these days. There must be some. That band is still together. It appears that I must like them... at least.)

I actually slid a decent amount of vinyl into this mix, and at about 01:33:00, the tempo creeps upward a bit and some of the tracks start sounding like what might remind you of an early 90s Rave Party. Don't worry, you won't have to find a map point or anything. But, still the same, this would be a good time to grab your E-binky, tooter, and maybe some glow sticks (if you have any) and do your thing. ☮️

Please enjoy this, and play it LOUD !! Best wishes to all! 🙏😎🎶🎵✌️

Remember: If you yawn in front of a mirror, it echoes into next Tuesday. Time dilation is real, but only in bathrooms.


🍌The Primal Loop: The Past Remembers the Future🍌

Time, as it turns out, isn’t a straight line. It’s more like a dusty cassette tape someone left in the sun: warped, looping, sometimes playing Side B when no one asked.

The Primal Loop lives in that beautiful mess.

This mix is what happens when yesterday stumbles into tomorrow, wearing mesh gloves and humming a synth line it hasn’t heard yet. Half the tracks are relics--tunes that once shook the floor of roller rinks and laser-lit warehouses. The other half are fresh enough to confuse your software. But somehow, they remember each other.

Because here’s the thing: music doesn’t care about chronology. Styles resurface. Drum machines never die. And if you listen closely, you’ll hear that the future has been leaking into the past this whole time—through VHS static, MIDI cables, and questionable fashion choices.

This mix is a time anomaly with a beat. A dancefloor déjà vu. Proof that nostalgia might just be premonition in disguise.

Also, there’s a DJ chimpanzee involved. But honestly, that’s not the weird part...
