The weekend has arrived, and even though it was nice and sunny during the week, it is now bleak and dreary. The Sun has disappeared, and it's grey. overcast, and raining. From 23 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees today, the weather has changed. So I'm not feeling very summer-ish nor do I feel the weather is contributing to this feeling. In fact, it is making it worst. Let's go straight to our trusted source of music (Soundcloud), and see if there's anything there that could lift our spirits up, and maybe increase the temperatures...

And I found something to listen to, of course. Andresen, a channel I've been following for a while, has uploaded a new mix a few days ago, focussed on Trance classics, but with a twist. They've been reworked/remixed, Not the first time I've heard one of his mixes, and I'm quite fond of these reworked/remixed versions of classic anthems. And I know you are too, as you are reading this. You are also eager for me to provide you with some form of heat, and in this case, it is through some awesome anthems.

If you know your classics, you will certainly know these songs used by Andresen for this fifth edition of this series. I hope this series goes on for a while, as I'm invested in each of the mixes in this series, and they keep on getting better and better. And the fifth one is no joke: it's been my go-to mix over the last few days. I have become obsessed by it, as the songs are absolutely awesome!

Insigma - Open Your Eyes (Asteroid Extended Remix)
Solarstone vs Scott Bond - 3rd Earth (Scott Bond & Charlie Walker REBOOTED Mix)
Paul Oakenfold - Cafe Del Mar (Peetu S Extended Remix)
Binary Finary - 1998 (Alex M.O.R.P.H. Remix)
Yves Deruyter - The Rebel (40 Years Yves Deruyter Rework)

Where does Andresen find these records? I do know the originals, but these versions are so damn dope. How does he find these? They are absolutely gorgeous to listen to.

The journey is nearly 2 hours long, but it is such a pleasant journey. I cannot fault Andresen for anything but a great mix. Each track is awesome, and make this fifth edition a very memorable one. Before you know it, the mix has finished, and you want to hear it again. Well, that's just me.

So many great records, but the two remixed songs by Asteroid, they are fabulous. ''Inca'' and ''Open Your Eyes''. Pure dancefloor slammers, and to me they are the greatest records in this mix. The 14 others are great too, but it seems that Asteroid's songs are most outstanding and just what I wanted to hear, compared to the others.

It's yet another amazing mix. Have a listen to this, and while you are at it, why not check out the other mixes in this series? Trust me, you will thank me later. But don't thank me, thank Andresen for this awesome series.
