ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The third in a four-episode set, "Impact" follows "Freefall" in a progression of the overall arc theme. This is an electro/progressive set. You'll either like it or hate it, and that's probably a good thing. This set was pulled together with a minimum of vocal tracks; I was honestly trying not to use any songs with vocals, but that's not always possible.
I will say I had a difficult time pulling this one together, which is why it's been so long since I've released a podcast. This set is indicative of mood and feeling. Sometimes, it can be really hard to convey this particular place appropriately. I feel like I've sent a clear message, and I hope you are able to catch that.
As for the music itself, chances are, unless you're a fan of the genre, there will be few tracks you'll recognize; I have played some of these out at my live sets recently, but not to this extent. Nonetheless, you should recognize some of the artists in here (Fedde LeGrand, Wolfgang Gartner, Adam K, and Deadmau5) from my other podcasts.
As you listen to "Impact," please try to feel the music more than just hear it, or dance around your room to it (which, undoubtedly, you will). Bear in mind this is the third volume in the series, and it follows on the heels of "Escape" and "Freefall," both thematically and musically.
As for volume four? The only hint I'll provide is: What comes after an impact?
Remember, after the fall, there's no avoiding the "Impact."

They say when you hit rock bottom -- after the impact -- there is only one way to go: up. Join the "Ascension."
This episode has been over two years in the making; not because the music wasn't there, but rather because of the loss of my mother. I kept wanting to record; there had always been a pl…
We are, each of us, besieged. Overwhelmed by this and that, problems and circumstances great and small, some of which we can control, and others still both out of our control and uncontrollable. The world hands us lemons, and we make lemonade for a while, until there is no sugar left. The walls cl…
Old songs, particularly the good ones, have a way of hanging around. Catchy "hooks" become the basis for a whole new song, as you'll hear in several of these tracks. Then again, the original versions of other were so popular, or so tapped into the zeitgeist, they've become ingrained in every gene…
