Dj Polaski - Vibrations Vol. 8 (2 year anniversary)

Well friends, its that time again where another Vibrations mix graces this planet for the first time. And to think, every one of you reading this has the chance to listen to it....for free! No gimmicks!

Lets get to the good stuff, stated previously, I really tried to take remnants from Tiesto's ISOS7 cd and try to incorporate that style into my mix. While I feel I failed in that area, I've also gained...The mix itself is wonderful. It's not the high-energy trance all those new hip kids are listening to, its very progressive, and very groove. I like the fact that most of its sounds are not overly-pitched and whining, but just right to the touch...or sense...or whatever. The more I listen to it, the more I feel it sounds like one of AvB's ISOT cd's, but I'm trying not to draw comparisons. I took a different turn in mixing this time as I went for a more beat-smooth transition rather than melody. You'll notice it because most of the tracks do not end on the same key, which I think keeps the mix entertaining and doesn't feel like its dragging on. A lot of the tracks themselves are low-key artists in a sense that they really aren't super popular but yet pump out really good tracks. I love going for these tracks as they excrete a certain kind of originality in sound that alot of uber-popular trance artists tend NOT to follow.

Anyways, this mix marks the second year of my mixing hobby as I remember starting in August of 2006 with Tranceaction 1, hosting my mixes off of Dj Doboy's website, then eventually moving on to Vibrations 1 on DI.FM (which really got me started), and eventually into the Kahvi mixes. Wanted to thank those who supported me finacially, emotionally, and kept me busy making mixes.

Real quick:

I noticed something while releasing my mix on a few other forums sites. I'm kind of concerned about some of these djs who throw out 5-10 mixes a month in hope that quantity over quality will prevail. I know this isn't true because I take a quick peek at these mixes and its a jumble of half-hashed train wrecks and mix-matched tracks that provide no flow. Now, I'm not going to name names, however, I can focus on myself. While I have the means to throw out 2-3 mixes a month (at the expense of the clothes off my back) I feel that quality prevails over quantity, which is why I try to bring you mixes that are superb from the get go; one's that you can play over and over again and cherish. Bottom line is, I'm dedicated to mixing QUALITY mixes each and everytime, and how often I bring them to you is a burden on my mind, but not a qualification as a DJ. So what do I define as quality? Well, I can't answer that, you're the listener, I'll let you make up your own mind.

Thanks,
Stephen Tomko (Dj Polaski)

o.O??? Vibrations Vol. 8 this weekend....whaha!?!

I'm a little antsy about this new release for the vibrations series. It's one of the best culminations of tracks I've laced together in a long time. Granted, I've said that quite a few times about a few other vibration mixes, I feel eloquently soothe about this one. If I could have held back on this and sold it to you for a price, I would have, but I'm in the business of giving these things away to you for free as I scrounge around my pocket book for extra change to purchase these lovely tracks.

Anyways, Vibrations Vol. 8 will be released this weekend. I'll save the details for the mix release, but you'll want to stay on top of the blog posts to make sure you get it.

The theme consists of all 3 trance genres, Trance, Prog-Trance, Vocal Trance. However the main theme is prog, I was primarily inspired by Tiesto's ISOS7 cd, but felt compelled to add my own juice to the smoothie. The tracks are soft, juicy, bouncy, growing, and harmonious. The ending is most impressive to me as a dj.

Stay tuned

Upcoming mixes

Hey guys, its been awhile since my previous blog post but I wanted to keep you up to date on some of the things I've been working at.

First and foremost, you can expect 5-6 new mixes over these next few months. The mixes range from trance to chill trance to kahvi mixes and breakbeat. Currently, I'm in the progress of finishing two trance mixes (chill/regular) that will be out soon.

Second, I'd like some input as to what genre's you guys like to hear. I know I have various crowds (Kahvi vs. Trance) but it would be nice to know what you think.

Lastly, I wanted to thank some of you who donated money to help the cause. I wanted to reassure you that all of your dollars go directly into purchasing new tracks and making new mixes. It's not easy being a college student and being broke 105% of the time. While I make it effort to release mixes regardless of donations, receiving them helps me put more out for you guys. So once again, thank you.

Dj Polaski - Cup of Khavi (Kahvi Summer Mix)

Hey guys! I'm proud to announce a new kahvi mix today. Cup of Kahvi offers some premier kahvi tracks that are undeniably scrumptious. IF you have a heart for my previous kahvi mixes you'll REALLY enjoy this one.

The first three tracks really start the mix off strong with various sounds loops and amazing melodies. Slem starts us off accompanied by Brioskj and Scann Tec's wicked guitar lick. Then the mix drops and goes a little lighter with Nags and DMB's ghostmachine (a favorite of mine). As if DMB's track wasnt any lighter the mix takes a turn picks up speed with tracks from Dalekk, Tai, and URL. But before it gets too fast, Randomajestiq puts on the breaks slows us down with some awesome grooves and from there it starts to plateau off into a nice grooving set of drum loops, ethereal bouncing sounds. In the end, I do a little 7-8 minute mix recap feature the highlights of some of the songs in the mix; all mixed to Madstyle's loop on track.

You guy will definitely want to experience this rollercoaster.


01. Slem - Take Two Test
02. Brioskj - Clouds

04. Nagz - Hringur B Quiet Year
05. DMB - Ghostmachine (Liquid Stranger Laxative Remix)

Tranceaction Vol. 9 (Unreleased!)

So, there has been alot of activity on my blog lately, which might suggest that my dj hiatus is drawing to an end. That is partially true, I still have a week to go before august kicks in but I thought I might re-introduce the Tranceaction series. Volume 9 has some very special mixing techniques. I did alot of track cuts ups and merging in here to make it more fluent. Also by cutting them up, It shortens the length of the tracks to an average of 4-5 minutes. I noticed that alot of listeners to like tracks that draw out too long. Personally, I feel the same.

I made a little catch for you guys to encourage you "facebook-ers" to join my fan page. This tranceaction series mix will ONLY BE RELEASED ON MY FACEBOOK FAN PAGE. I know some of you might get mad at a stunt like that, but I hope it might get some of you to join. If you don't use facebook, drop me an e-mail, djpolaski@gmail.com OR send me an AOL message at, rep reh zent. IF you don't know how to be a fan on facebook, look at the previous blog post, it will show you how. I posted the mix in a forums post, you'll see it when you get there :)

Here's the tracklist:

02. Terrafusion - Ultima (5th Dynasty Remix)
03. Fast Distance - Heavens Melody (Michael Angelo & Jim Remix)

Become a fan on facebook

So without trying to glorify myself I made a fan page on facebook. You don't need any applications to do it, its build right into facebook. Just go to your search bar (that you would normally find friends in) and type "Dj Polaski" exactly as you see it, but without the quotes. That should direct you to the page in which you can join.

The whole point of the fan page is to facilitate a medium in which I can electronically communicate with you. In other words (lol), it allows me to get to know who you are (and stalk you...no no only joking). I like to be able to talk with people who enjoy the same kind of music as I do, it makes it very interesting. It also allows me to gear my mixes for you guys by understanding your interests in electronic music.

So, don't be shy and add Dj Polaski as a friend. I look forward to talking to some of you!

Thanks for the e-mails/messages.

Wanted to thank you guys for sending your thoughtful messages and e-mail to me. Its a pleasure to know my work is going around the world from Amsterdam, Berlin, and St. Petersburg, to New Zealand, Australia, and Chicago. It only encourages me to make more mixes for you guys to enjoy.

Speaking of mixes, I'll be placing a new trance mix for download that has some creamy transitions and tracks. The tracks were spankin' new upon recording, but I held back and decided I wouldn't ever release it. Since the recent messages, I changed my mind...

p.s. If you loved the Tranceaction series, wait for vol. 9

Dj Polaski is on break.

All djing and productions have ceased until the beginning of august. Have a good summer.

BreakBox Vol. 1

So, I finally wanted to try a new mix in a genre I havent done before. Looking through the large repository of electronic genres (and there are alot) I noticed one specific genre that I always enjoyed listening to when I needed an energy rush: Breakbeat. Breakbeat has its own special unique rhythm. The mixmash of beats, hi-hats, drum loops, and bass sequences offer a difference sound than Trance. After searching for the sounds I wanted, I finally concluded 12 tracks into a seamless mix for your enjoyable pleasure.

BreakBox delivers on so many levels. Whether you're a trance listener, a prog listener, or a clubber, I've got this mix appealing to everyone. The first portion of this mix is essential club/electro breakbeat stuff. Great loops, great bass, and some great vocals that can get any floor hopping. Towards the end of the mix, you'll start to hear a more trance/progressive mood as I take it down a notch and let your mind take a break. You'll definitely want to pick up this mix, its worth a listen.
