Shawn Mitiska presents 'Mile High Sessions Volume 1' the first installment of a new mix compilation from Armada. Putting his skills to work he has selected some of the best tracks available on Armada today. Such as the rather addictive track 'The Drugs' by Blake Jarrell, Matthew Dekay's 'Living in a Bubblepop' and a couple of remixes from Shawn's own discography. It doesn't stop with these, the entire mix is packed to the rafters with choonage. If I had to genre-pigeonhole this release I would slot it around the progressive house and trance area's with a sprinkling of electro/tech in the mix.
When I gave the compilation its first test run I wasn't really sure about the first 2 tracks but I've had the whole weekend to listen to it and they really tie in well with the rest of the mix. They kick the journey off with a nice and mellow feel that builds nicely. It's the kind of mix I'd use as my sound track while driving around the Mile High city (Denver). Which is kind of ironic on two fronts, the first being the title of the release and secondly because Shawn Mitiska is from denver.
The first track is Rene Amesz's remix of Blake Jarrell's catchy tune 'The Drugs.' This was the first time I had heard this track and I was initially turned off by how it started. The track by itself is OK but it really suits the whole experience and is well placed. I wasn't so sure about the second track, Simon & Shaker's remix of Hallowed by 'Outsiders' either. Then it came into rotation while I was hurriedly walking around the city which set my pace and changed my mind about the track.
The mix continues to groove along into Umek & Beltek's 'Army of Two', the Jay Lumen Main Stage Remix. Before long we're passing the halfway point with Matthew Dekay's 'Living In A Bubblepop.' We get to hear a couple remixes from Shawn Mitiska including 'Razorface' and 'Please Don't Go,' one of my favorite tracks. He signs off with the Dash Berlin remix of 'You Never Said' which he produced along side Matt Cerf and the lovely Jaren. Complete tracklist is below.
