Madoka teams up once again with Patty Proton for her Serendipity show on Proton Radio. After circulating on the net for some time now, Madoka's techno-driven "The Second Room" mix will be featured in all it's 3-hour glory. The mix was originally recorded in July and runs 188 minutes. The Serendipity version has been edited for 8 minutes at the end to meet the show's 3-hour time slot, so the last track "Shine" has been cut from the mix. The full version of the set has been floating around the web for some time now and another link to the full 320kbps version will be posted again later this week as well after the broadcast. Below is the full tracklist.
Serendipity airs Tuesday, October 2 at 12pm EST.

Commentz
"Clocking in around 3 hours once again, the more I listen to "The Second Room" the more I realize this particular mix can actually be divided into three 1-hour increments and still sound like 3 individual mixes. The first hour is deeply paced with tons of dark tones and vocal highlights.
"The Second Room" really takes it's time getting started, but that is intentional due to its overall length. I had the idea and arrangement of the first hour completely set in my mind from the minute I picked up all the respective tunes. So I felt I just had to commit my concept to a recording. I am glad I did, as I think the result is awesome.
The second hour gets harder and techier. The groove around 96:00 really sums up the middle section to me and Liebing's joints are just so strong..."C" is such a stand-out cut, as expected. I included some Trevor Rockliffe tracks in this mix just because I have a ton of funky techno but rarely get to explore that sound fully. Again, I think the songs fit the mix perfectly.
Rounding out the third set, some melodic elements begin shining through, helping to smooth out the journey and end the story tastefully. I love the flow from"Berghain" to the very end with Zoo Brazil. "Shine" (which reminds me of classics such as "Voodoo Ray" or "Fine Day") brings back a powerful memory for me when I was dancing at one of my first underground warehouse parties in Philadelphia back in 1992. I was dancing alone for a moment around 6 in the morning in a small, boxey, cooled concrete room with only a single beautiful blue light shining into it. The song playing was Transform "Transformations" (which took me ages to find out back then). It was such a peaceful moment as I cooled down from the hard-as-hell german techno and acid traxx in the main room. I was totally mesmerized by what I consider one of the best trance songs still to this day. So many gorgeous trance records at that time. Those records will always be at the true core of trance music for me. I should have mixed "Transformations" into the ending here, now that I think about it. Oh well, that may be a great idea for a future mix. Anyway, enough reminiscing!
Actually, I would love to hear about your favorite trance records from the 1992-1993 era. Stop by mySpace some time and drop a comment or two about them if you ever feel like it
Until then, keep it real and enjoy "The Second Room".-
