.308-05-2012 For all you mashup lovers out there; The Mashup Radio released a new bootleg compilation:
T-Selection Vol.2
This album countains a selection of 37 mashups from bootleggers all over the world and also features one of my productions.
Get it here for free.
.315-04-2012 I created a new mashup based upon the instrumental version of Lloyd's "Dedication to my ex" Included in this mashup are the Black Eyed Peas (I Got a Feeling) and Duffy (Mercy) Njoy: Dedication to my Black Eyed Duffy!
.313-03-2012 Algerian Producer "Osireion" asked me to remix his upcoming release named Pulsar. So I've spend some time creating an energetic and uplifting trance remix which will be included on the EP release @ the 20th of April.
.309-02-2012 I'm working on a lot of new projects, but they all somehow seem to take an awefull long time to finish. But not for this one! Last friday a friend of mine came up with an idea for a new mashup. Combining the new Ting Tings single "Hang It Up" with Neneh Cherry's Buffalo Stance. After some long nights of mixing and adding some Nirvana and David Bowie samples it's finished!
.312-11-2011 For those who waited patiently on a new mahup.. here it finally is. This mashup is based on some loops I've created on Gotye's track "Somebody that I used to know" combining it with that cheesy dance track "Loca People" by Sak Noel gave it a lot of dance potential but didn't finish the job. Adding some Maroon 5, B.O.B and Madonna parts did. Njoy!
.309-11-2011 Matt Pincer paid me a visit a couple of months ago, we spend the whole day in my studio trying to create a more progressive styled trance track. After many weeks of fine tuning we came up with 3 different versions of a track called "Redcon". Release date 15-12-2011 at Vecitiva Recordings
.301-11-2011 German producer Luca de Maas (owner of Vectiva recordings) and me joined forces and created a vocal trance track called "Another Day" Vocals are once again by Lin. This track will be released at Vectiva recordings on December the 1st.
.309-10-2011 I'm so glad we finally got tickets for a big hardstyle event next month called Qlimax. So started collecting related tracks right away and mixed them together in a real though 80 minutes automnhardstylemix. So Njoy this unofficial Qlimax 2011 Pre-party Mix!
.325-08-2011 Matt Pincer and me created a new vocal uplifting trance track. Once again I've asked Lin to provide some vocals for a song of ours. The "Anthem of Love" will be released the 13th of October on Made2Dance Records. Check out the video promo here and get it next month on a legal download site near you :)
.320-08-2011 It turned out soundcloud has some sort of copyright filter which makes it impossible to upload some of my mashup, there are also some people claiming soundcloud’s removing these kind of bootlegs from their service. That’s why I switched over to official.fm, they do support the mashup scene. Also uploading my mixes to mixcloud to make them streamable. Njoy!
.307-08-2011 Since I'm generating approx 1TB of traffic each month by sharing all my bootlegs / mashups my hosting provider kindly requested me to remove the mp3's from his server. So I'm currently moving most of my tracks to soundcloud and make them available for download again. So just be patient everything will be back online soon.
.305-07-2011
Together with Dutch producer Matt Pincer we've created a trance tune called Oblivion, this project will be released on Vectiva Recordings and will contain both a Matt Pincer and a Xam remix. Release date is to be anounced but sneak preview is available in tracks section. Stay tuned for more Matt Pincer vs Xam projects!
.321-05-2011
It's been quite a while since my last bootleg, but yesterday I was playing around with the acapella from adele's rolling in the deep when a big boost of inspiration hit me. Combined it with main loop from Inna's - Sun is Up and some bits and pieces from LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem. Njoy my first Ableton mashup: Rolling in the Sun Anthem.
.306-05-2011
A little while ago I created an uplifting remix for a track by Luca de Maas called the golden gates. Word got out that this remix would be on the new trancemaster 7003 compilation, well today it's official!
.318-04-2011
Inbetween all my commercial productions / remix work I found some time to spend a couple of hours on a full length mix, don't worry you don't have to pay a thing for this mix. Just download and enjoy this rough hardstyle mix.
.309-04-2011
After quite some weeks of hard work I finished yet an other uplifting trance track called Mnemonic. Last week Lin came by, we wrote down some lyrics and recorded those right away. Have to say I'm realy happy with the end result. To be released on Vectiva Recordings in the near future.Preview available in the tracks section
.301-03-2011
Today my second single is released at Vectiva recordings., It's called Twenty5 and it contains some nice vocals (by Lin) on top of an uplifting trance track. Get it at JunoDownload, Beatport or iTunes. More details and preview over here.
.317-02-2011
Luca de Maas (owner of Vectiva recordings) Asked me to remix one of his new trance tracks. The melody was kind of hard to work with so created some kind of minimal / progressive remix. Track will be released 1st of march this is the same date Twenty5 will be released. Preview the remix over here.
.315-02-2011 You might have noticed it's pretty quiet around here for more than a month. This is mainly because I've switched to Ableton Live (and spending a lot of time with my newborn son) It takes me quite some time to get used to the new interface. But I'm still working on some free mixes and bootlegs, so just sit back and .... wait some more!
.301-01-2011
First of, happy newyear to you all! I created an other remix for dutch producer Matt Pincer, the track got released today on Vectiva recordings get / preview it here. I'm also proud to announce that my second single called Twenty5 got signed on the same label, more info soon (preview already available in tracks section)
.330-12-2010
Ok Last update for this year: elocnep released a bootleg album called "Smash the Dancefloor 2" which contains 24 killer mashups from all over the globe. And yes, I'm representing the Netherlands with "Like a Paper G6" on this album, get the full album here
.21-12-2010
Culture Bully created their Top Mashups of 2010 list for the sixth year in a row. This year Chris Deline asked over 50 bastard pop producers (including me) to provide a list of favorite mashups. Check out the full details and the mp3 compilations here.
.15-12-2010 Martin Solvaigs new track "Hello" used the same sample as M.I.A. used in her track "Paper Planes"
So mixed those tracks together and put some additional kerosine power to the track by adding "Like a G6" Njoy: Hello Paper G6
.01-11-2010 For about 12 years I've provided all my mashups / mixes / tracks here on this website for free. But now it's your change to finally pay for a track! Today my uplifting trance track called FBL was released on Vectiva recordings.
It's available on Itunes, Juno and Beatport, so please support my music and buy this great track! :)
.25-10-2010 The Kings of Disco meet the King of Pop! Duck Sauce (Armand van Helden & A-Trak) did a remake of a tune by Boney M called "gotta go home". He called this track "Barbara Streisand". Well this mashup got rid of that streisand sample but reinserted some king of pop (Michael Jackson) vocals and some disco sounds out of the original Boney M track. Njoy my new mashup
.23-09-2010 Bromance by Tim Berg is one of those dance tracks that sticked all summer long. So I combined this instrumental track with two pella's from madonna: "Erotic" and "Get Into The Groove" (had to do some minor key matching) Mashed together they become "Madonance" a straight forward but yet enjoyable composition don't you think?
.18-09-2010 I Finished an other full length mix, this one ain't for the faint hearted. The mix runs at a steady 150 BPM and contains 18 hardstyle tracks that were released this summer. Get ready to piss off your neighbours :) Tracklist and download link here.
.14-09-2010 One of my tracks is about to be released soon on Vectiva recordings. It's called FBL and based upon a tune I did back in 1999. The release will contain the original mix, a reworked (2010) version and a stunning remix by Matt Pincer (which I owe a big thanks for hooking me up with the label) more info soon.
.05-09-2010 A while ago I joined a remix competition for a trance track called Deep Inside of me by Matt Pincer. Did not win win this competition but my remix did make it on the official release . As this remix will be released commercially i won't put a download link on my site, but i'm sure you guys underdstand. Working on some other remix projects with Matt right now, stay tuned!
.24-08-2010 It's been a while but I finished an full length mix, but I wanted to finish this before the end of the season. This mix contains some nice summer tunes and some less commercial tracks, but all together an enjoyable 74 minutes of trdance music. Check the tracklist / download link here
.17-08-2010 Within a couple of weeks i'll become a father, and yes, i will try to keep on mashing and mixing afterwards.
So to get a bit in the mood i created a little mashup using samples from the disney classic : jungle book.
I combined the elephand march with "we don't speak americano" by Yolanda be Cool. Njoy this little mashup!
.04-07-2010 The last couple of weeks I tried to make a different kind of track than you might expect from me.
This new remix is base upon a track called "The Muffin man" by World of Oz (1969)
Like it or not, just don't schoot me for trying something different. Find the MP3 Here or YouTube
.09-05-2010 Sophie Ellis Baxtor is back with a new catchy dance track (especially in the Freemasons remix) called "Bittersweet"
The chord progression in this track seemed to be very mashable. Running some key tests it turned out that both
britney's "Circus" and Linkin Park's "Numb" seemed to work, and since I couldn't figure out which one
i liked the best I just used both :)
.07-03-2010 David Guetta is hitting the charts again with his new single "Memories" and since i never did a david mash i'll give it a try now.
Key wise combining this track was quite easy since it is running along the A# key all the time. Termite actually came up with the idea of adding a faithless track to it.
We tried a couple but: "Insomnia" and "God is a DJ" sticked. Enjoy "God is a Memorie"
.21-02-2010 I realy like the electro bass line in the new gorillaz track "Stylo" but the track itself sounds a bit depressing IMHO.
Adding some genesis to it doesn't brighen it up either, but it does make a unique combination. Njoy my new mashup: "Stylo Can't Dance"
.06-02-2010 Timbaland recently released his new album Shock Value II which also includes the single release "morning after dark" Although his the track is the same old timbaland sound it does again hit the charts.
I thought it would be funny to replace the dark timbaland sound with some uplifting 80's disco fever, so added some Kool and the gang to it and so here is Morning after Celebration
.01-02-2010 I Worked quite a while on this new mix of mine: The Ultimate HappyHardcoreMix.
This music gerne was very popular in the Netherlands, Belgium & Germany in the mid-90's.
All tracks are sorted manually on key and harmonicly mixed using the camalot wheel.
Complete tracklist and download link can be found here.
.29-01-2010 I came across the acapella of a track called "A Night Like This" by Caro Emerald.
She's hitting the top of dutch music charts but i don't think anyone outside the Netherlands know this track (yet).
Anyway, I remixed this track into a more danceable version which can be found here.
