Well instead of scattering them around one by one, it seems to work best to keep my mixes all in one thread and update it as they are created. I have spent some time searching this forum to make sure such a thread did not already exist and could not find one (although I thought I had one already on the go).
If anyone is offended by this thread please pm me!! I do not wish this thread to be seen as spam! These mixes are offered in the spirit that they were created with. =)
All mixes are free to download once you register for Area709, and registration is free.
These mixes are in chronological order from oldest to newest... Enjoy!

Cortex Vortex by DJ Nokturnal
Released: Feb 1, 2001
Genre: Psytrance - Full On
Length: 1:22:44
Listen / Download: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/49/
Description:
Completing this mix nearly got me thrown out of the house I was living in at the time because of the repetition and volume level of my endless attempts to get this mix right. Over and over and over..... and over I tried to mix this through cleanly. I was playing from vinyl and I had only just barely learned how to beat match when I began this project, my first truly contrived and painfully recorded mix. I would emerge from my bedroom after 6 to 8 hours at a go, barely able to talk to anyone, that is how zombified I was.
A couple of months went by... literally. When I finally got it, I fully broke down and balled from the release. And when I listen to it today, I still can not believe that I pulled it off, in spite of the long and off beat transition from track 7 to track 8. In fact I doubt I could repeat some sections of it without getting some serious practice time in, some of the transitions in the first third of the mix required that I mix 70-80% of each track, leaving me with as little as 20 sec to cue and bring in the next track. For me as a beginner, it was pretty much impossible. As well, at the time I did not realize that Mumbo Jumbo and Cosmosis were the same fellow, otherwise I would not have put so many tracks by he same person in the mix. No wonder they went so well together! I actually got him to sign my original beat up copy of Intergalactic when Norris and I played before him at Motion Notion in 2004, Bilbo Baggins is a pretty friendly fella it turns out.
One last thing that I have never pointed out to anyone about this mix is that on track two there is a vocal where a female voice (Wynonna Ryder from Alien Resurrection) says "It's not real, it's not real!", and the last track of this mix has a male vocal that says "it's your mind that makes it real", how's that for programming? Ha! Can anyone say GEEK?!?! In the end all the effort was worth it as the mix made it's way to some really incredible people in Colorado and I ended up doing a three gig mini tour, the final event being at the UFO Watchtower in Sand Dune National Monument (where they filmed the desert scenes in Star Wars!) alongside Kode IV on the summer solstice. It was an incredible experience to say the least.
Tracklist:
1. Unknown Controllers - Unknown Control
2. BUS - Lets Go
3. Stoop & Fidget - Speechless
4. Talamasca - Telepathic Atmospheres (Live Mix)
5. Ninja - Vortex Tunnel
6. BUS - Sweetness
7. Biodegradable - Ayakhustyx
8. Dragon - Fuse
9. 12 Moons - Zero Gravity
10. Mumbo Jumbo - Mysterons
11. Cosmosis - The Spirit World
12. S Range - Free Upgrade
13. Mumbo Jumbo - Fishbone Remix
Reviews:

Length: 1:12:02
Listen / Download: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/46/
Description:
This is my attempt at a harder but not necessarily full-on psytrance mix. I wanted to keep it seriously driving but somehow maintain some depth to it. This one was a struggle for me, and nearly did not get completed. As I was in the middle of the last mix which is actually three tracks in at the same time, my house mates visiting father answered the phone which happened to be for me (of course!) and proceeded to insist that I take the call. I managed to ignore him long enough to not ruin the whole recording, and I did not miss the call. Ha!
Tracklist:
1. Seeka - Thirst
2. Son Kite - Youngel
3. Zertonine - Acid Theater
4. Igneous Sauria - Metamorph
5. Visual Paradox - Laughing Dog on Bog
6. Fabel vs. Antix - Patterns
7. Aphid Moon - Chi
8. Nemesis vs Pura Natura - Dj Hallucination
9. Lube - E.Q.
10. Shaman - Supha Oupah
11. BLT - Global Spirit
12. Great Leap Forward - White Whales
13. Purple and Ronan - Future Blue
14. Fly Agaric - I See Myself
Reviews:
Just listened to the Dreamseek mix and its great, a very nice tribal touch in your selection, I like percussions in my set too. The mixing is very good as well, did you record it all in one shot? Keep good. - Uv @ doof records.
Dreamseek is SO wicked, I listened to it on my stereo at home and thought it was all right...but on my discman it just sounds like 100 times better and trippier, I think I'm just picking up on a lot of sounds I missed before. I love how deep and dark it is! - Irena
This has always been my favorite of everything you've ever done Darvin, it's always a freq player in my bedside player. - anonymous
This is a dark, moody, edgy set that hits hard and deep all the way through. The work of someone that knows how to set a theme early and keep it going until the last driving beat. Great stuff. - James

Genre: Psytrance - Minimal
Length: 1:13:46
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/39/
Description:
Based on a set I played at a fetish masquerade party, it is every bit as deep, dark and sexy as I envisioned it. During my set performers spun fire chains, as well as were pierced by rather large gauge hooks through their back. Pleasure and pain are such strange bedfellows.
Tracklist:
1 Syncro - Porn
2 Phony Orphonts - Chocolate Icetea
3 Beat Bizarre - Deep Disco Profile
4 Timetech - At All Times
5 Beat Bizarre - Funk Fliud
6 Tarsis - Distance
7 Fiasco Systems - Fettometer
8 Vibrasphere - New Port
9 Cosma - Lemon Light
10 Tegma - Werewolf - Beat Bizarre Remix
11 Timetech - Notes
12 Beat Bizzare - Pony Sauce
13 P Woland - The Lovely Wife - Reefer Decree Remix
Reviews:
Just wanted to let you know that I listen to your mixes all the time while I'm working. They are definatly some of the most insightfull and intelligent sets I've heard in awhile. Children Of The Night is one of my favorites. Anyways just wanted to give you a shout out for the great mixes. - J-Byrd
You have a superb flow! - Dave
Man, this mix is so damn good. It's really tripping me out. I think I might have to buy your cd of this. Is it full CD quality? Like burned from a wav file, not mp3? - Osteen
Hey Darvin, just starting to listen to your stuff! THANK YOU so much for making this available online...you have what I crave, baby WOOOHOO!! When you coming to Vancouver? - Squishelle
Right on brotha, this shit is tight. Don't suppose you'll be on the east coast anytime will ya? You should get in on the Gaian Mind festival in June! - Max
I've just had a chance to listen to the full stream and this is quite a nice mix you've put together. Most of the tracks I haven't heard, but there's a couple that are real stormers! I especially like track four, and a very nice transition into it I might add. There's only about 3 or 4 tracks that I'd consider my typical PSY listening style, but overall I thought you did a great job with most mixes. Very nice set! 8.5/10 - TwoHardCore
I love these sleek proggy scandosounds... it's aural sex. ^_^ I'm only on the third track or so, but it's 0wning me already. - Grahf
Very good! Solid mix. I'm glad I decided to check it out. It's been awhile since I heard a mix like this, and it was really refreshing. Good job! I look forward to hearing more. - Dylan Leroy
Wow. I love how the start is so minimal and it gradually sucks you in. I listened to it at a time when I was in a lot of physical pain and it grabbed my mind and took me away on a peaceful journey... and when I came back I actually decided that winter was beautiful (if you know me - you know I am the queen of winter hating and that is a big acomplishment). Thank you for the awesome gifts you keep bringing to this community. - Heather
Very well mixed. Good track selection too...EDIT: Just have to double that! Actually it's quite a while since I heard something that was as great as this! Keep up the good work! - Ziddy
Wow....opening track is making me crazy! Amazing work, I think this is my favorite one of yours. - Michelle-y

Luna Tech by DJ Nokturnal
Released: Feb 1, 2005
Genre: Psytrance - Progressive
Length: 1:12:17
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/37/
Description:
To me psyprog is one of the most creative and cutting edge sounds being produced right now in the world of electronica. It has elements of tribal house, progressive house, tech trance, psytrance and ambient/down tempo.
I am often temped to play a whole set of it when performing but I usually always step up into harder psytrance as I am worried that dancers will not find it intense enough. This recording was an attempt to show that this music can be all one needs. I wanted a CD that did not deviate from the progressive sound and to do that I stayed away from any tracks that had a classic reverberating psytrance bassline of any sort.
Compiling this mix took me approximately 40 hours, and it very nearly drove me totally bonkers as I was having some serious issues with direction and transitions. When I attempted to mix it however I got it on the first try so I was very happy about that as I was dreading another couple of weeks of trying to get it mixed well enough that I was satisfied with it. It is not as tight as other mixes of mine, but I was inspired by Rusty's mix ONE SHOT NO CHASER, and as well by conversations I had shared with him about what a good mix cd should be: that flaws are exciting and add a element of humanity to a CD.
And I had to add a little hats off to my close friend Jay (Jintonik) at the very end of my mix by borrowing an idea he used at the start of his WAY TO GILEAD mix. Feel free to share your thoughts on this one!
Tracklist:
1 Son Kite - Let Us Be
2 Antix - Chase
3 Frogacult - Back to the Woods
4 Lunaspice - Tixaan
5 XV Kilst - Pornblocker
6 Antix - Darko
7 Buzzmonx - Shift
8 Heliotrope - Hellion
9 FREq vs Spherical - Suzuki Sun
10 FREq - Return of the Masters
11 FREq - Spacechanger
12 Mondayz Millionaires - Coldies for Goldies
13 Son Kite - Let us Be (vocal sample)
Reviews:
What do you mean coming soon? This thing is pretty wicked in its current state. Still the master of driving and techy minimalistic madness. - Wes
Powerful spontaneous emission, Nokturnal... enjoyed the flow for sure...very interesting segues give good groove. - Azul
Darvin, I love the new psy mix! Antix: Lull has been my favorite psytrance cd for about 5 months now, I even thought about emailing you when I first heard track 1, Darko. I though "now THIS, is trance!". I crave that minimal progressive sound. We just got hooked up with high speed here at our new house in Halifax. Being able to listen to the 709 mixes whenever I want is such a treat, I will always plug the site and support you guys. Keep up the great work and I hope that 2005 brings you much joy. Miss you and everyone else in Calgary, peace. - Ben
I thought the music was AWESOME! Do you ever travel down to the states? - Mama Gaea
You BEATFREAK, Absolutely Unbelievable! LUNA TECH is one of the best sets I have ever heard. I need to get this one! - Francescobubbles
Awesome mix mate... I like it! - Dan
Nice choons... I really liked your mix! - Amanita
Hello, I really like this mix... some nice progressive in here, and mixed really well. Keep it up! - Sunrunner
Wow... this is beautiful, I love it!! - Pax
This mix is incredible, I absolutely love it. I just burned a copy and I can't wait to listen to it full blast in my car. I can't get past the 3rd track, I just keep listening to that one over and over! Seriously, there's nothing I don't love about that track; the floating, the echo-y sounds, and how pensive it is at first, and how it gets just a touch nastier towards the end. Its a definite bum wiggler babe... a bum wiggler indeed. And the female vocal that whispers "our house", its hot. Hot hot hot. I loooove it. - Irena
Not my style, but VERY well put together IMHO. Good work. - DaveJeff

Wander Fall by DJ Nokturnal
Released: Feb 1, 2005
Genre: Psydub / Chill
Length: 1:17:46
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/36/
Description:
Irena and I were out wandering around just before Christmas on the capital grounds in Edmonton one night. She decided to fall down suddenly and do a snow angel, and a fine one it was. The mix is like our walk that night in that it has moments of structure and movement that fall away to interludes of formlessness. I started this mix not long after our walk, finally acting on my admiration of Rusty's two ambient mixes.
I tried to stay away from anything too glitchy or ethnic, and focused instead on deeper, dubbier and more beautiful haunting sounds. As for the few vocals in the mix, any of the ones in English resonate with me in that they are not there by chance and I connect with their little messages so listen to what they have to say!
The mixing is nothing too fancy, my only concern was to make the transitions smooth and enjoyable, and to keep the listener guessing as to what will happen next.
One last thing, I would like to dedicate this compilation to a new little wonder name Edie Tangerine Stowell, Craig and Kathy's beautiful baby girl.
So I invite you to sit back quietly, alone or with a loved one, and enjoy this little journey!!
Tracklist:
1. Blowfish - Trumpet Fishology
2. Western Rebel Alliance - Fly
3. Ishq - Bhakti
4. Bluetech - Leaving Babylon
5. Future Sound of London - Cascade
6. Shakti - Anahata
7. Bluetech - 7th Phase dub
8. Abakus - Igmatik
9. Balashwaar - Doof
10. Chris McNamara - Martahaus
11. Solar Fields - Compressed Universe
12. Vibrasphere - Aguas Calientes
13. Shakta - Are We Leaning Yet?
14. Quade - Cascade
15. Future Sound of London - Cascade
Reviews:
This totally caught me off guard... I love hearing other ambient mixes and popped my headphones on and settled down at work. Much respect to you for this mix... the vibe is perfect and I loved the journey very much. Also, the "let me be worthy" track is beautiful. I love this mix, thanks for sharing... glad to have met you. - Dj Bridget
Very nice, thank you very much... I love chill mixes. Good choice in music too, I would put half of those tracks in a chill mix also hehe, have a nice day! - Dan
Listening to it at the moment as I have my morning coffee and "moment of reflection", heh. Very nice! I'm diggin this! - Rubicon
Nothing to complain about here for me. Smooth mixing, superb track selection of dubby/psychedelic vibes and a very soothing atmosphere. Not surprising though, inspiration like the one you got always helps. - Sand Leaper
Well, I've been listening to this for a couple of days now and I really have nothing to critique. The mixing is well done and the mastering sounds very professional, and it seems to express your creative talents as well. Thanks for sharing! They are great tracks!!! - Skipperoo
Definately deep, dubby, and beautifully haunting. Excellent track selection... thanks for sharing. - Paul B
Beautiful mix! I very much appreciated this!!!! - Dan

Length: 1:19:56
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/35/
Description:
Exactly as my girl Irena ordered, each track and transition approved by her, this mix is deep, dark, dirty and very progressive. We had a VERY hard to compiling this one; making a cd with another person did make the process a long one but it was also something we both really enjoyed. This mix was also the nucleus of the set Norris and I played at Motion Notion this year. This is our attempt at staying true to the progy house/progy psy sound for a solid 80 min. Enjoy!
Tracklist:
1. Echotek - Away
2. Sharon and Robert - Desire
3. Phony Orphants - Chicago Collins
4. Nyquist - Flatline
5. Dousk - Estrange
6. Bitmonx vs Fabio - Deep Sense
7. Freq - Short Life Again
8. Beat Bizarre - 2 Lame 2 Blame
9. Luna Spice - Melodeep (into mix)
10. Liguid Soul - Why
11. Mondayz Millionares - Balaindo
12. Gaudium - Fading Faith
13. Chakra - Opacity
14. Ticon - Six Years After
Reviews:
Well, what can I say? Another rock-fucking-solid mix! Nice work! - Solomoon
Props for a Canadian (Calgary at that) Psy DJ... BTW, your guys set at Motion Notion this year was SAVAGE!!... Excellent opening set for John 00 Fleming... Thumbsup! - J:Digital
Darvin that is a fucking gorgeous mix!!! Thanks!!! - Murray
EXCELLENT MUSIC AND MIXING!!! - Dj Tod
Seriously dude that mix is fucking ILL! Can not wait to hear more! - Doubt
This mix is pretty sick. I love the deep, pumping, twisted beats. I am around 18 minutes into the mix, and loving it so far. 2:45 mins in now, still ridiculous, deep and driving, my favorite genre! Pretty seamless mixing. If I could wrangle a lossless copy from you somehow, you would be my God, keep up the awesome work! - Sorenj 07
I love this sound : deep emotional ever-building and at times driving prog...love the work you put in the layout of the mixes..the artwork I mean. Good stuff. - Salva
Ok Ive gotten thru this mix and hell yeah!!!! GOOD SHIT!!! I really like your mixing and track selection, keep it up pleez - Ratboy
I just have to say that your music, sir, is amazing. I have been listening to your Illucid mix for months, definitely have feedback that I promised myself I would give to you! Just wanted to say, thank you! For the music, and from what I see on your profile, for being an awesome human being.  Humbly - RT
This is my first listen to psy... I'm a complete newbie to the electronica scene. Came across this mix looking for psy, curious to hear what it was, just liked the name... psytrance... well, this mix started out slow, I thought, well, this is ok I guess... then it hit me. I started to lose focus. Fucking amazing. Brilliant. I think I've found my niche. - anonymous
This was a great intense experience all the way through - the easy paced tracks worked great and I waited for it to get a bit faster but was thankful when it didn't, I know - but it would have ruined the whole easy beated set, liked it a lot, just half way through it again today, very nice sound and perfect handling,imo. Thanks for a great piece of music. Loved it a lot. Cheers - Dereklangold

Description:
I wanted to showcase a few of my favorite unreleased tracks due out on Zenon Records compilations this summer as well as a track by Anna (Anarchy) and another by Mikkel (NASA). These tunes have me pretty excited to be getting out to the festivals and start letting the gems rip!!! This mix was a challenge as I had a fairly small pool of tracks to work with, and was also limited by the keys I could work in. And to top it off, my laptop and sound card decided to add a few artifacts to the recording which I did not realize until I was done, and will go back in and remove once I get my technical issues sorted out.
My thanks to Tim (Sensient), Tetrameth, Shadow Fx, One Tastey Morsel, Phat Kontrollerz, and Autonomech for letting me put this mix together to showcase their ridiculously awesome talents.
I will be playing many of these tracks out this weekend at Alliance in Vancouver this Saturday night, so if you want to here this stuff loud and clear, get your butt out and come and dance!!!
Tracklist:
1. Shadow Fx - Dr Elephant
2. Suncontrolspecies – Coma CDR
3. Phat Kontrollerz - Track 8 CDR
4. Sensient - Sona Arome
5. Anarchy - Wherever
6. N.A.S.A. - Penetration Generation
7. One Tastey Morsel - Psyconautical Engineering CDR
8. Sensient - Loose Frequency CDR
9. Sensient - Simple Sex
10. Tetrameth - 49th Vibration
11. Autonomech - Track 3 CDR
Comments:
Nice mix bro, thanks! - Tim Sensient
One awesome mix man -Topher
I think i may need a new pair of undies!!! - Bender
balls to the wall. some of the best tunes in existance... period.
All about "Session On" right now, good to see morsel getting some coverage too - Tweekunit
Yeah love that Aussie Zenon flavor - Alex
Seriously wikid. This is the kind of trance I crave to move with - and it's intricate and lyrical enough to sit and listen to. A rare thing for me. I love trance but generally can't listen to it at home... thanks Darvin, BOOM! - Synaesthesia
I enjoyed it very much! Listened to it driving to work this morning - luvlee driving music it is... would love it on the dancefloor as well! Man I love that dark proggy minimal (and whatever else) sound. Great tracks and nice'n'smoove mixing (not to be confused with Nice'n'Smoove of the early 90's rap scene). Cheers - Rosco.
Smooth and sexy as usual! - Solomoon
We LOVE your new mix for Zenon, it's exactly the type of psy that we enjoy! - Karen and Dave
Really good new sounding and original tracks, and really solid mixes, it's excellent - Craig
This is sick - Drew05
WOW, this is REALLY good. Awesome mix, one of the best I've head in ages actually. - Ov3rdos3

Description:
We are VERY happy with how our set came together for this years Motion Notion festival, so we decided to record it afterwards here at home and post it up for others to enjoy. This year we were wedged between two full-on psy performers, with Wizzy Noise being the act to follow us, so our set was meant to be a roller coaster through driving minimal tech, progressive and full-on psy. Add to that the fact that our set started out with hot dry sky's filled with stars and ended during a MASSIVE rain/thunder storm with tornado warnings for the area in effect... talk about INTENSE!!!! In the end our laptop finally stopped working and our fear was that it had actually shorted out due to the rain but the next day it started up without a hitch which was a HUGE relief. Our goal was to keep everyone engaged, twist a few noodles and not burn people out on the full-on. From all the super-positive feedback I think we managed to kick some ass!! Many of the tracks are killer classics, with a few shinny new ones thrown in, and the overall flow is a bit of a journey so sit back and imagine the thunder clouds closing in from behind, and as the mix ends the rain is coming down with a vengeance and the clouds are swirling with the threat of tornadoes. They don't call us Sons of Aurora for nothing....

Definitely enjoyed myself dancing to you're set at mono this year! Thanks for the download - Dentaku
Psytrance isn't my thing, but I can dig it bro! Nice work. Sound's like a party. Wish I wasn't stuck here in boring old Norway. - Joe
Hey Guys, I am listening to your mix and its sounding awesome!!! THanks for posting that! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to see u guys live sometime soon! Thanks!! - Khan
I just want to say I love the new site and I listen to a tonne of music on there. You guys are officially my favorite music source. Thanks for everything - Morgan
I wanted to see you on the Sunday before we left but never got to.  I wanted to run up to you and bow down to you! Your set was amazing! Can't wait for Burning Man.... - Tammy
Awesome set at MoNo! That crazy electrical storm in he sky during your set really unidentified it for me! Oh man did i get soaked. ahaha. Anywhooo. Thanks again for the beats which my ears and my heart enjoy sooo much! - Cheyenne
Great set at MN guys! Always one of the highlights of the event! - Tyler Fish
Sick, Sick, Sick - As I write this I am in a tugboat doing an assist job off of the Coast. Heres the situation: Large container ship, lost steering hydraulics we hooked up last night, and are now putting 22000 Horsepower to the water to pull this thing to safety. two caterpillar 3616 diesels are screaming at 105%. (thats over 145DB in the engine room) - So we have a 24000 Watt stereo with like 30 speakers above to blast dampening sound waves to quite it down. In addition to dampening it can play music over the noise, at the same time. Right now we are smashing through 50 swells, and listening to this mix. - As I have swayed to the green side - I saddens me that we are burning diesel at the rate of 14 gallons a minute. (faster than a garden hose can deliver) But break up a 1000 foot container ship on the rocks and see what happens, so I guess this is the lessor of two evils. - And thanks to Globalstar - I am streaming this on a satphone. So at least we are doing it all in style I love technology - I love it - Later - mdmf007

Sonance
Released: Jan 10, 2007
Genre: Progressive
Length: 1:18:38
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/70/
Description:
This mix was temporarily down, but for a very great reason... it was picked up as an exclusive mix for the ECLECTIC SELECTIONS show put on by Progressive House.com and hosted on Dance Radio.gr.
I compiled and mixed this recording as a progressive demo for my duo project, Sons of Aurora. My partner Norris compiled and mixed a companion recording called Zahir which is a simply stunning psydub journey. Both of these mixes can be found here on Area 709 in the Sons of Aurora section. The demo package did it's job, and we are booked solid for the whole summer, finishing off at the Symbiosis Gathering in Norhtern California in September 2007.
This mix was an exploration of some new sounds for me, as the minimal sounds have gotten under my skin. I have also been really enjoying the electro infused tracks which seem to have taken the world of electronica by storm, so to travel from one to the other seemed like a great formula and this mix is the result. This mix has a taste of minimal, progressive house, electro house, and progressive psytrance... Enjoy!
Tracklist:
1. Trentemoller – Nightwalker
2. 2. Filur – Kiwi Mind Pilot (Kasey Taylor Remix)
3. Parrket – Skeletonised
4. True To Nature – Breeze
5. Snake Sedrick & Emze Hack – The Beginning
6. Nyquist – Dawn Driver

12. Elke Klein – Deep Depths
Reviews:
Awesome! I love it!!!! Can I see the track list please? There's some amazing songs on this... love & light from Vancouver. - Jessica
Listening now... awesome. - Zach
This has to be hands down the best progressive house/trance mix I've ever heard. You guys rule! Please come east sometime, Halifax could use a taste of the sublime progressive you guys lay down. Keep it up and congrats on getting it picked up by Progressivehouse.com. Peace. - Ben

Symbios
Released: Oct 17, 2007
Genre: Psygressive
Length: 0:56:42
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/145/
Description:
My summer 2007 schedule was crazy hectic, filled with gigs and gatherings all over Western North America. The event which was the finale was the Symbiosis Gathering in California in September, and this mix reflects a portion of the Sons of Aurora set I played with my partner Norris. The gathering was one of the highlights of my summer and these particular tracks are for me a portal back to that amazing weekend up in the mountains East of San Francisco. The fact that they are all off of the same three labels goes to show that I am a big fan of what Flow, Blue Tunes and Iboga records are up to these days.
This mix is a short one due to the one hour time allowance as it will was featured on Wes Straub's new online radio show 709 Sessions which can be found at: http://www.tribalmixes.org .
Track List:
1. Suncontrolspecies (Iboga Records) - Spines
2. Yotopia (Flow Records) - Pepper Ball
3. Antix & Embark (Flow Records) - Hammers And Tongs
4. Perfect Stranger & Ace Ventura (Atmos Mix) (Iboga Records) - Perfect Ace
5. Lish (Blue Tunes) - Stereo Talk
6. Antix (Iboga Records) - Forward
7. Suncontrolspecies (Iboga Records) - The Big Mistake of 08
8. Symphonix (Blue Tunes) - Spaceballs
9. Perfect Stranger (Flowjob Remix) (Iboga Records) - Bliss
Comments:
Awesome mix really lovin' it missed the festivities of Symbiosis but I can imagine how awesome it must have been to play in presence of Ralph Metzer. - xolvexs
Excellent mix. Left me wanting more. - lakitss

Description
Motion Notion is a very person experience for us each year, and the effort that James Katalyst puts into his festival is always superhuman. Some of our best memories as performers are at Motion Notion, and last year was a thrill for us as we played the sunrise set.
This mix was completed by Darvin only a few months ago, in a small hut high up on a hill overlooking the ocean on Koh Tao island in Thailand. It is just over 80 minutes in length and if anyone wants a shorter version to fit on a cd just let us know by dropping Darvin and email.
We think this is one of our best sets to date... techy, pumpin and best heard on a clean clear and loud sound system outside under the stars. It's got some classic tracks from the summer of 2008, and we hope you enjoy the journey.
Namaste!

Fed Into Time
Genre: Techno - Minimal
Length: 1:19:27
Listen / Download Here: http://www.area709.com/darvin/music/mix/234/
Description:
Buddhist philosophers and modern day physicists claim that our perception of time is nothing more than how we humans happen to make sense of our reality. That may be the case, but simply knowing this to be true does not make it any easier to escape from the relentless march of each second, minute, day and so forth.
Time seems almost cruel in the way that it wraps it's arms around our lives; when we suffer it seems to last forever and when the good times are here and now then they are quickly just a fleeting memory. As we age the people we love begin to pass away and we are left with a sense of guilt for not having spent more time with them when they were alive. But I wonder, was there actually more time to spend?
Every moment of our lives is like an offering to Time, and no matter how much we sacrifice to it, it never seems to be enough. It has no body to lash out against in our rage and pain, Time simply "is", which makes it seem all the more cold and unjust. Who we are, those we love, all that we create, it is all relentlessly fed into time.
Track List:
1. Patterns Of - BLT & Danni Makou - A Balter Extended Remix
2. Snapshot - Anna
3. Unknown - Unknown
4. Las Toballas - Santos Resiak
5. Webs Of Lies - Nikola Grebovic
6. I Have To Leave This World - Anna
7. Green Ghost - Elon
8. Fed On Youth - FALSE
9. Space - Minilogue
10. Instinto Primario - Oel & Polygon
11. SQAP - Sean Quin & Andy Page - Habershams FearMonster3000 Remix
12. The White Flash feat Thom Yorke - Modeselektor - Trentemoller Remix
14. You Might Hear Nothing - Umek
14. Schwarze Gold - Anna - Phase Remix
