eski presents kinguyakkii episode 020
Episode 020 featured plenty of bouncy tunes as we entered the downhill run into the end-of-year party season for 2010. Highlights in this mix include Claudia Cazacu’s “Nefertiti”, and the REM remix of Flash Brothers’s “More Than You Know”.
Here’s the complete tracklist:
001 arty - twilight tonight [arty remode] (enhanced progressive) 002 guiseppe...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 019
Episode 019 goes a bit deeper than the previous mixes, with plenty of help from W&W’s “Alpha” and Sander Van Doorn’s “Daddyrock”.
The mix also features one of my favourite transitions ever; the blend from “Armin van Buuren’s “Not Giving Up On Love” into his stunning remix of Dido’s “Everything To Lose” still...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 018
Episode 018 features a couple of tracks from Armin van Buuren’s awesome Mirage album, including one of my absolute favourite tracks of 2010, “These Silent Hearts”.
The massive “This Is Your Day” from Wezz Devall also makes its first appearance, although this track has gone on to be an absolute staple in my playlists ever since, and never fails to destroy...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 017
Episode 017 includes one of my favourite vocal trance tracks of all time: the Aurosonic remix of Urban Astronauts’s “See The Sun”, featuring the truly beautiful voice of Kate Louise Smith. I’d actually bought this track a few months previously, but for some reason it had got lost in my e-crate and I’d completely failed to put into any of the earlier episodes.

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 016
Episode 016 features a couple of tracks produced by friends that I’d met as a result of the eski facebook page: DJ Sabbour’s remix of Sunlounger’s “Trademark White”, and a very bouncy new tune from A & Z entitled “New Dawn”
Here’s the complete tracklist:
001 thomas datt - seven years [ronski speed remix] (anjunabeats) 002 paul miller -...
eski presents kinguyakkii episode 015
Episode 015 was another milestone for me - I started making it very late one night after listening to one of Markus Schulz’s live sets that he’d aired as part of his Global DJ Broadcast show (I live in Singapore, and GDJB doesn’t start until midnight here).
I was totally blown away by his reworking of the classic “Perception”, especially given it features the...
eski presents kinguyakkii episode 014
Episode 014 features my first ever ‘mash-up’ - a sneaky blend of two different tracks by Eric Prydz (they were released under different producer names, but are both made by him).
It also features an early promo of the massive “Break Up” from A & Z, two Egyptian producers that I met as a result of the eski facebook page, and who went on to sign deals with some of...
eski presents kinguyakkii episode 013
This was the first mix that I recorded after the launch of the eski facebook page, so is actually the first set recorded with a specific audience (other than myself) in mind.
When I first recorded it, I was actually quite nervous about publishing it on the page; it had only takes a few days to make (in contrast to the week plus that I normally took to record a mix), and I didn’t spend...
eski presents kinguyakkii episode 012
Episode 012 is the last mix I recorded before I launched the eski facebook page, so was the last set that I made mostly for my own personal listening.
It already features many of the styles that I went on to refine once I’d got the weekly show, but you can still hear that it’s quite raw, which, listening again now, gives the mix a dynamic range that is sometimes a bit lacking in...
eski presents kinguyakkii episode 011
Although I didn’t actually start using Mixcloud until Episode 025, I’ve managed to upload all the shows starting from Episode 11 to my Mixcloud account.
Despite being shorter and more trance-focused than the previous 3 mixes, this set is still one of my favourites, with plenty of bounce and mad noises.
Although the Mixcloud player widgets show the complete tracklist once you...

Part 1
Part2
Episode 010 was the last of the mammoth sets that I recorded during my sprained ankle seclusion, and is also the last time for a couple of years that I featured a variety of different styles within the same show (which, looking back now, was a bit of a shame).
However, shortly after recording this set, I took a new job which allowed me to explore the ins and outs of...

Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Kinguyakkii episode 009 is a 6½ hour monster of a set, featuring a whole stack of my favourite trance tunes. As with Episode 008, I’ve had to split it into a few different parts, because the original file is too big for Soundcloud’s upload limit.
This whole mix took well over a week to make, partly because it was the first time I had used the DJ...

Part 1
Part 2
Episode 008 was the first of a series of longer mixes I recorded while I was stuck at home for 3 weeks after I sprained both my ankles in a 10K run (demonstrating a complete lack of co-ordination and skill, but that’s another story).
I’ve had to split the mix into 2 sections because the original mix was too long for Soundcloud’s upload limit, but the...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 007
Episode seven starts off with some deep house, but quickly builds into deeper, darker, more progressive vibes. This mix is still one of my favourites, especially on long journeys.
Here’s the full tracklisting:
001 karol xvii & mb valence - deep beginning [original mix] 002 edwin mulder, ferdy, and sebastian davidson - 77th street [dub mix] 003 pako & frederik - rib cage...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 006
This was another of the longer, earlier mixes, clocking in at over 3 hours.
There were a stack of amazing tunes around when I made this set, but personal highlights for me in this mix are Paul van Dyk’s “New York City” and the Push remix of Armin van Buuren’s “In & Out Of Love”.
Here’s the full tracklisting - as ever, remember you can buy almost...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 005
This is another mix packed with some beautiful trance classics - the tracks that still stand out for me today are Lange’s “Out Of The Sky”, Andy Duguid’s “Wasted” (Leah’s got such a haunting voice), and Armin van Buuren’s “In And Out Of Love”.
Here’s the full tracklisting for episode 005:
001 daclip - vanity [alex douche...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 004
Kinguyakkii episode 004 was another varied set, with an eclectic blend of different dancefloor styles.
The mix features a couple of my all-time favourite tracks too - John O’Callaghan’s “Big Sky”, and Marco V’s “Red Blue Purple”, both of which are still huge dancefloor destroyers today.
Here’s the full tracklist:
001 dahlback, diaz and young...
eski presents kinguyakkii episode 003
I had a lot of fun recording this set, and listening to it again now, I think you can hear that in the mix!
One of the things that really makes it work for me is the variety of musical styles - there’s plenty of trance, but there’s also a good amount of electro-progressive, and some really bubbly basslines.
Here’s the full tracklist:
001 escadia - dreamland [reprise] 002...

eski presents kinguyakkii episode 002
This was the first set I recorded in Singapore, and you can feel it has a lot more warmth than kinguyakkii episode 001 (which was recorded on a cold, wet October night in London).
This is still one of my favourite mixes even today, thanks to the moody, progressive trance sound.
Here’s the full tracklist:
01 pryda - armed [original mix] 02 adam k and soha - twilight [original mix] ...

For those who haven’t heard of eski before, I’m a DJ and producer based in Singapore. I play a lot of...
