The organic house music journey that started with the previous remarkable mix Dopo’ore is even further realised with this autumnal release, Sunstar. This mix takes emotion in some surprisingly positive directions, with lush layers and rhythms that paint an optimistic soundscape. Remark’s Sunstar explores the blurred hopeful boundaries of sunset to starlight to sunrise.
Five hours of meticulously curated tracks form a unified aural experience that can be enjoyed anytime of day. Pulsing bass lines, whispering high-hats, shades of colourful sound, and the joy of the occasional uplifting vocal mixed with the depth of a sexy instrumental — the Sunstar vibe certainly suits all flavours of the melodic house music spectrum. -
Remark Dopo’ore was inspired by those magical after-hours moments. The golden glow of sunsets, the promising horizon of sunrises, the buzz of flowing cocktails after the long workday concludes, or the warmth you feel in the comfort of connected friends at an afterparty.
The mix hints at creative elements from 2022’s Annoconfinomento II, yet with less progressive flare. Dopo’ore brings together a collection of organic house tracks that mesh medleys and voluptuous vibes that flow over you and through you, feeding your aural desires.
A perfect accompaniment to any chilled moment, Remark Dopo’ore provides a soundtrack to all of your magic hours — no matter what time of day or where they occur. -

In January 2021 I livestreamed a moody, minimal mix called “The Comedown”, and ever since I’ve been inspired to eventually make a full uninhibited soundscape that explored that deep, atmospheric sound fully. “Crossover” was borne out of this desire. Based upon another livestream from early 2023, “Crossover” reworks and remasters that original vision by layering even more tracks and sonic sensations. The opening preamble, spoken by my music goddess Tori Amos, acknowledges how we are so fortunate to be part of the universe’s infinite creativity. These words set the stage for the 3+ hour journey that wanders through atmospheres and slowly saunters through depth, tech, and dub. So put the headphones on, dive deep, and lose yourself in the boundless and endless creativity of the universe.

SURPRISE! 🏳️🌈 The Remarkable mix of the summer has arrived and it propels pride and unity to the forefront. This celebration of vocal house is filled with tracks that uplift, connect, and inspire joy — with that unmistakable euphoria of forever being on the dance floor. Curated for peak club hours, this mix is guaranteed to entertain the biggest of parties. There are new interpretations of tracks from the 70’s and 80’s intermingled with some of this year’s biggest pride anthems. The acronymic title ROYGBIV represents the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) which glorifies the feeling of pride as LGBTQ+ communities continue to be repressed and attacked globally. So turn up this latest Remark mix to inject positivity and hope into this judgmental and divisive world.

There are so many signals vying for our attention during these tumultuous times. The relentless noise signals coming from all of the digital signals. The media divides with virtue signals whilst others call out distress signals. And everything points to alarming signals. Through the darkness and storms, I turn to my constant: getting lost in audio signals. It is within these armored musical frequencies that I find my foundation, my anchor. So soar through this carefully crafted, meticulously curated, 4+ hour progressive journey with me into sonic salvation.

Over a year in the making. Remark presents Annoconfinamento II. The highly anticipated sequel to part one released in the spring of 2021. Originally inspired by surviving the isolation in endless lockdowns, this mix continues the theme of combatting ideological confinement through creativity in a chaotic, foreboding world: a journey of deep, melodic, intelligent house that fuses worldly influences, cultural chants, and progressive tech into a seamless organic union. If you listen to the end, which of course I suggest you do, you’ll fully understand my sonic intentions which is best represented in the classic dialogue between Frodo and Gandalf. Frodo says, “I wish it need not have happened in my time.” Gandalf responds, “And so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

As another surreal and tumultuous year comes to a close, it’s as important as ever that we put positive energy into the universe. I’ve always done this through music which continues to be my guiding light through these crazy times. On New Year’s Eve 2021, I rang in the new year again behind the decks — broadcasting a 5-hour livestream on Twitch and Mixcloud. The uplifting performance was titled Discotonic, and as a gift to all of my followers and listeners, I dropped TWO mixes at midnight to celebrate life in 2022! Discotonic + Tonicdisco are two equally matched remarkable mixes fueled with flashback retrodisco energy. Featuring reinterpretations of epic club classics from the 70s and 80s, these dual mixes also pepper in plenty of new grooves too. What better way to get 2022 started than with uplifting vocals, pouncing pianos, and hands-in-the-air vibes? Thanks for being part of the Remarkable experience. Let’s hope for positive energy in the New Year...

Lightwave has an interesting backstory. It was originally conceived in November 2020 with the opening track always intended to be the first song of the mix. Over time, several songs danced in and out of the playlist, but the mood of the mix has always been on the same intense trajectory. In the spring of 2021, I released the first part of my two part opus called Annoconfinamento. I expected the original Lightwave project to be part two of the Annoconfinamento soundscape, but as I continued to tinker with and refine it, Lightwave evolved into its own distinct aural journey. This path took me much further than expected — so far, in fact, that Lightwave is now the longest mix I’ve ever curated...pushing 5 hours of music. It’s an interplay of moody new progressive tracks, intermingled with some emotional classics and a few reinterpretations of monster late night dance floor grooves. So get ready to board this serious, menacing, progressive rocket that will transport you into new orbits. Come ride the Lightwave with me and feel how far it goes.

To cope with this surreal and unprecedented past year, I turned to music to ease my mind and soothe my soul. I invested positive energy into my DJ livestreams, which debuted in April 2020 and continue to this day. I’ve been able to connect with so many friends and fans, both new and old, all over the world, through our passion for great music. Last summer, that inspiration led to a 2-part music mix called #stayhouse to bring light into our darkest days. This spring, I am doing the same but with a different style and intention. This 2-part series is called “Annoconfinamento” (which means “Lockdown Year” in Italian) and brings a collection of intense, intelligent, and deep yet driving progressive energy together for a magnificent immersion in unmistakable, remarkable sound. Part I eases you into the groove with electro bubbling basslines and synths, and slowly builds with intention and intensity. Part II, to be released soon, boldly opens with one of my favourite songs from 2020, and the driving energy and life-giving forces continue throughout the audio adventure. Arguably one of the most perfectly programmed and well-curated Remark mixes of all time, I hope you enjoy parts I and II of this Annoconfinamento aural journey…

Wow what a f*cking year. A struggle, a challenge, a detriment. As I’ve said many times, during such troubled moments I turn to music — and this year warrants that escape more than any other. To bring hope and light to the darkness, I present Couleurs: the definitive final remarkable mix of 2020. Couleurs represents the pinnacle of my current sonic definition and I couldn’t be more proud of the results. Featuring all new music from this year and several updated reinterpretations of well-known Remark classics, this mix demonstrates the diverse colour palette of my ever-evolving yet true-to-form sound. The journey is equally inspired by the extraordinary livestreams I’ve hosted this year during lockdown. The celebrated Remark Sunday Sessions, broadcasting fortnightly on twitch.tv/remarkentral at 6 PM UK time, have been a consistent creative escape to a shared virtual global dance floor. So turn it up and rejoice in the Remarkable spectrum of sound. This is Couleurs.

2020 continues to heat up with part two of the remarkable mix of the summer. Although this year has been unexplainably chaotic, if there’s one thing I can turn to that frees my mind and body it’s MUSIC. And this mix is no exception. Inspired by the creativity during lockdown, #stayhouse (the evening hour) picks up in vibe right after its predecessor. This 3-hour mix kicks things up a notch, catapulting you into a bliss-filled house groove complete with intense piano stabs, throbbing bass-lines, and empowered divas. And there are some reborn classics thrown in, taking you back to reimagined Remark dance floors. So even though this year we’re all staying home, let’s celebrate #stayhouse.

Inspired by creativity during lockdown — and the success from the weekly Remark Sunday Sessions DJ livestream — I’m pleased to release the remarkable mix of the summer. Aptly titled #stayhouse, this mix is divided into two distinct yet connected house music experiences. Part one, released in June, is called “(the magic hour)”, with a delectable curated selection of sunset grooves. In July, part two is revealed — “(the evening hour)” — which kicks the energy up several notches yet retains that positive vibe. The energy builds as you experience both mixes back to back. So let (the magic hour) ease you into the journey with a cocktail in hand and get prepared to dance well into (the evening hour) as the music compels you to raise your hands in air — even if you’re dancing at home in your living room during these uncertain times!

I dropped the first remarkable mix of 2020 as a surprise on my birthday — the intensely curated Raconteur. As the title implies, this mix strives to tell an ever-developing story through sound. The soundscape opens with hazy rhythms, and swiftly builds into a chunky progressive groove with hints of vocals. This theme continues as the mix accelerates, with more vocals and hints of world music thrown in to complement the percussion and throbbing bass lines. The journey soothes near the end, with the final track being one of the most emotive on any Remark release. Experience this ride and celebrate the story with me. This is Remark, Raconteur.

In 2012 the Remarklassics series debuted, featuring remastered tracks from the 1990s. Now the sixth installment erupts from the vaults. Remarklassics Volume VI: Feelin’ is packed with even more re-engineered Remarkable anthems, inspired by the emotional dancefloor freedom and intensity of the iconic Remark nightclub days and WPRK 91.5 FM radio show. In an increasingly agitated world of disorder, Feelin’ implores you to feel the hope, love, and energy within your heart.

After the previous intense trance release, Run 3, it felt like a good time to revisit some grooving progressive house that had been brewing for a while. Excursion was inspired by journeys at night — the ride going out to a club, the journey of the evening, and the sonic adventure of the dancefloor itself. The mix kicks in right away with a galloping pace. Vocals cruise in about 45 minutes into the groove and then as the mix nears the 3 hour mark, it accelerates with a vengeance before climaxing on an emotional and nostalgic tip. Be sure to carry the feeling all the way through and experience this remarkable Excursion from start to finish.

In 2014, the Run series was unleashed with a fury. The 2-part, trance-inspired sonic adventure cruised at over 135 beats per minute and had one primary mission: to make you move with intensity and relentless energy. Fast forward 5 years and the third chapter in the trilogy arrives. Experience 25 years of remarkable dance floor memories as current uplifting trance intermingles with progressive and vocal deep cuts from past. Move through sound, motion, and memories like never before. This is Remark Run 3: 1994 – 2019.

2018 concludes with the progressive and temperamental mix called Protean. This tech-house soundscape meanders through intelligent electronica, hypnotic percussion, hints of world music, and well-balanced vocals. A portion of the mix pays homage to the past, featuring a medley of new interpretations of classic 1990 progressive anthems. The rhythm and energy of Protean shifts and morphs over three hours, successfully earning the definition of its title: "tending or able to change frequently or easily and able to do many different things”. It concludes on a down-groove emotional tip, with the final lyrics begging the listener to “stay with me”. Enjoy this three hour sonic story to finish off the remarkable year. -
On 15 July 2018, I got married to the man of my dreams in London. At the end of the incredible day, I curated a celebratory dance mix to conclude the event. The 2-hour medley — appropriately titled “Wedlock” — features some of the most memorable Remarkable vocal anthems that have rocked dance floors throughout the years. The mix was released at the precise moment it got played at the wedding, so that Remarkable fans around the world could experience the uplifting vibe at the same time. And for those guests who attended the event in person, you can now relive the triumphant dance party from the end of our spectacular day. So dance and sing, get up and do your thing — and remember that love wins, every time!

In 2016, Remark presents Pet Shop Boys: Encomium 1986 - 2016 was released to celebrate 30 years of Pet Shop Boys. The mix, recorded live in Edinburgh for the Pet Shop Boys Symposium, contained 3+ hours of remixed hits from every album spanning their multi-decade career. Although a number of notable songs were included, there were some significant tracks that were missed. It’s now time to revisit the Pet Shop Boys' impressive catalog and finish what was started. This is Encomium II — packed with even more hits, rarities, remixes and collaborations. This 3-hour Remark tribute mix continues to celebrate the most successful pop duo of all time, featuring at least one song from every album through 2018 and other tracks from every decade of the Pet Shop Boys’ relentlessly successful career.
