This is a re-recording of a set that I played live at Organix in Vancouver on February 27th.  It is only 79 minutes long to fit on a CD, although the original mixed set was 90 minutes long.  This version is missing

Psyfactor - Bad Mojo
Mexican Trance Mafia vs. Audiophatik - Sell Your Soul
Shift - Absolution (Rmx)

I also mix a bit more frenetically than this when live, so that's how I could play 3 more songs in eleven more minutes. 

A bit more information, for the music nerds in the crowd.  This set was designed keeping the tune of each track in mind.  Music theory tells us that notes that are what is known as a fifth interval apart will sound good or "in tune" with each other.  This mix starts out in the key of A minor, and goes to D minor and then G minor - each a perfect fifth apart.  Then it employs a trick whereby I, instead of going up by a fifth, I go up by a semitone to G# minor.  This creates (rather effectively, I think) a feeling of tension that increases the energy of the mix.

The rest of the set continues in perfect fifth intervals, around the circle of fifths.  F#m (5 tracks in a row, all in F#, woot), Bm, Em, then I skip up a semitone again to Fm for the last two tracks.

 Harmonic mixing is a very neat tool.
