The end of the year is in sight. And what a year it has been. It's been a year, filled with emotions. And it has ended in a bit of a peculiar way. But when it comes to the music I discovered throughout the year, it's been an amazing year. With a lot of excellent mixes on Soundcloud. I've spent so many hours/days/weeks/months on Soundcloud, it is unbelievable. And to end the year properly, let me introduce you to a very mellow sounding mix, you'll certainly enjoy this one!

I don't listen to enough Progressive House mixes, which is obviously a shame. But when I do hear them, I am always blown away by the quality of the songs. One month ago, I found a mix by Perky (wasn't he a cartoon character from the 90s?), and it's the second instalment of the 'Chronicles Of Progression' series. I've not heard the first one, but I was certainly blown away by the perkiness of this mix (see what I did there?).

I've seen and listened to a few Progressive House mixes throughout the year, and they always seem to put a massive smile on my face. Will Perky's mix do the same today? I am fairly confident that the mix you are about to listen to, will be one that will generate smiles for miles. Or, it could just be a very pleasant alternative to whatever is playing on your radio or streaming platform. Christmas isn't officially done, but the songs are definitely behind us....

I am not an expert in Progressive House music, not even a connoisseur, but just an enthusiast. So the names in this list might not create an instant emotion, one that resembles recognition. But what speaks volumes, is the actual music. And the music, selected and mixed together by Perky, is certainly great!

It has been a very pleasant hour, that's for sure. Perky has picked 12 amazing and smooth sounding records, and blended them together nicely. The hour does fly by, and you will feel more relaxed and mellow compared to when you started this mix. You'll feel blissful, and extremely happy. I know I was extremely happy during, and after this mix had ended. You might be wondering why? Well, simple reason: I could start the mix again!

This has been a very pleasant mix to listen to. I've thoroughly enjoyed myself. The selection of songs were really good, but when you hear both Corren Cavini's songs, that's when it all comes together. They are absolutely blinding records. Never heard of Corren Cavini, but I'll be on the hunt for more.

Get this down you, right now! If you are looking for the perfect mix to listen to, when the end of the year is in sight, look no further: this is the one!
