Hey all,
In the 2nd half of last year I was posting my podcast pretty regularly on the forum but haven't done so for a while. I've just reached #50 episodes so this seems like a good time to start doing it again, and set up a single thread for it. Episode 50 is huge episode so had to get it on here. Also, I'm mixing up the regular format as of episode 51, so again, seems like a good time to start sharing them here again.
In each post I'll give a condensed version of what I've written on the blog, but you can always read the full thing by going to: http://www.philharmonicpodcast.blogspot.co.uk/

THE PHIL-HARMONIC PODCAST EPISODE #50
![cover50.jpg](/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fimageshack.us%2Fa%2Fimg820%2F1579%2Fcover50.jpg&hash=d4891e95a81ea074010a9ce274f018d6)
Without me even realising it, The Phil-Harmonic Podcast had its 2nd birthday a few weeks ago and, not long after, it reaches the arguably more significant milestone of 50 episodes....
Now that the podcast is 2 years old, I can't help but get nostalgic. I don't mean nostalgic for the records that I've played on TPHP since it began. That wouldn't be particularly nostalgic for a start. I didn't want to do a review podcast as such. No, approaching 50 episodes actually got me thinking about my musical life before the podcast – particularly that window of years 2 or 3 years just after taking up DJing in 2007....
As well as taking up DJing in 2007, in the same year I started doing overall ‘Reviews of the Year' on Last.fm. Just like my Year Mixes now, they were called ‘That Was...' (I never actually did a proper Year Mix in 2007, that came the year later.) These reviews included a Top 20 rundown of my trance and progressive favourites of the year.
For Episode 50, I've simply gone back to those charts and plucked the Top 4 from each - no editing; just exactly how the charts were when they were compiled. This is interesting, because it's brought up the question of how well these tracks have stood the test of time, both for myself and other people.
By including 2011 in this equation there is some podcast overlap. But I stopped short of including 2012, simply because That Was 2012 has barely left my SoundCloud page....
The likes of Brace Yourself, Into Something and Apple, in particular, are tracks that when they make a return it's like hearing them for the first time all over again. They have stayed with me always. (That in itself sounds like a contradiction, but you know what I mean.) Brace Yourself is actually one of the few tunes that gives me goose bumps every single time I hear it. Definitely, and without even a moment to reconsider, my favourite record of the last 6 years or so.
Some are just clubbing memories that will be part of me forever. Like completely losing my **** (and I mean completely) to Vanilla at Creamfields 2010, Sander playing Bliksem in that 2009 Global Gathering set or hearing Smack twice in one evening seeing PvD at Nation in Liverpool in 2008. Soulseeker and Undercurrent instantly transport me back to being stood in my room at 3rd year Uni, in front of those Pioneer 100s – probably annoying the **** out of the couple living downstairs.
That only covers 2 hours though. And for some reason I felt uncomfortable leaving it at 2 hours. The set needed an extended period of more up-tempo stuff. I've handpicked a few gems, again with more than a few nostalgic touches.
