It’s lucky number 7. I just got back from the Cornerstone Music Festival where Tastyfresh.com and BTU Live put on four days for EDM for more than 2000 people. After seeing the BTU crew, DJ Stryke, Kenneth Thomas, Joel Armstrong and others spinning, it’s time to get back the usual grind and get two new mixes out to you. This month, I’m bringing you the opening mix with a combination of progressive, electro, house, and tech house. Following me is Romanian producer extraordinaire … Cristian Paduraru. Download now.

Air Date:

July 2007

Hour 1: Dave Richards (www.daverichards101.com)

Who is Dave Richards? Well… Dave Richards is one of a number of up and coming tribal and tech house influenced progressive house producers. He’s not the king of the charts. He doesn’t want to be. He’s done his best to check his ego at the door. Sure he can say that he’s buds with one of the Shiloh brothers, or that he’s one of the guys Stryke hears about in his phone conversations with his friends, but that doesn’t make Dave Richards the Schnitz. So what does all that mean? It means he’s up and coming, so pay attention.

Hour 2: Cristian Paduraru (www.myspace.com/cristianpaduraru)

Cristian Paduraru grew up in Bucharest, Romania. He first fell in love with dance music during his childhood and he Cristian started going to clubs (mainly "Studio Martin") as a teen. In the beginning of 1996, he was able to buy his first keyboard. One of Cristian first projects was "Fire in Water" it included live performances of acid-breakbeat.

In 1998 Cristian received first place in the "New TALENT Festival" and in 1999 received first place in the "Klub Bizzare" contest from Atomic Tv for best house music. It's obvious that he has an artistic gift from God. His philosophy, in the 90's was that "Music is the best drug," fulfilling the need for excitement. In the new millennium he got in touch with the Word of God and has the philosophy that "Love is the message". His wife, Erika, has also brought him fulfillment and balance.

After the 90's era of live performances, the new millennium comes with DJ performances, and Cristian decided to work mainly in the studio. Between 2000 and 2004, Cristian concentrated on advertising and movie sountracks. In 2005 he decided to offer his services worldwide, so he began writing tracks that followed the trends of the day, from Deep Minimal Techno to Electro House and Progressive Breaks.
