Frontiers

 
This set posed an interesting challenge: how to play something that was unquestionably "Foxhill" in style and took listeners on a journey despite maintaining a relatively-constant BPM from start-to-end. Challenge successful, I think!

This live set was recorded at the Sheraton Denver Downtown during the DenFur 2026 event in Denver, CO, USA on 2026-08-29.

Things don't always go to plan. 2 songs into this set, my USB drive died, and it wouldn't load 90% songs that I tried. My sets aren't pre-planned, but this one still veered off in a different direction than I had expected while I fought to keep the music going. Huge thanks to the ACFI A/V crew for retrieving my backup drive just as I fully lost the ability to load anything.

This month, I was in a wild mood to just record a long mix that included all the kinds of music I like to play, from downtempo to progressive house to various styles of trance. I didn't have a target length in mind, I just gathered songs that went well together and went for it. It was a fun challenge trying to juggle the crazy BPM swings without breaking up the flow, and to that end, I think it was a success. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it.

but that's by no means a bad thing. There's a ton of great progressive

house and trance here, and we even hit 138bpm...I think for the first

time since Summit Sessions #100, wow. Buckle up.
