Neverrain Listeners,
I know I'm a tad late on releasing my mix this month, and I apologize to those of you who rely on a steady stream of Neverrain audio to keep you moving. Never fear, I managed to sneak this month's set into my crazy schedule somehow and hopefully it will satisfy your craving. This month's set is an hour of progressive material that I choose not to classify. I've become wary of trying to categorize my mixing style into certain genres, and so I will just say that it is an upbeat mix of great music that I hope will stimulate your mind and bring a smile to your face :)
And so I bring you "Xeno".
Enjoy the sounds.

Returning in April
Neverrain Listeners,
I am currently in the midst of moving my company (2Advanced Studios), as well as my audio operations, into a brand new facility that will mark the end of a 6 year period at our current location, and begin a new era for us in a building that is nearly 10 times as large.
The operation is quite intense as I am designing most of the interior furniture myself (an endeavor which I have never taken on before), as well as building a dedicated audio studio on the top level which will house a state of the art mixing platform in an entirely soundprooof custom-built audio booth.
All the work going to into the furniture design, the move, and setup of the audio studio has completely taken up my time for this month, and so I must inform you that the next Neverrain mix will be available in April of 2008. I hope to see you all back here next month, where I plan to have a special set ready to go for your listening pleasure.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support,
Eric Jordan

February Mix: "2012"
Neverrain Listeners,
This month I bring you a set with such complexity that it defies any genre, which is always my goal. This set brings everything from progressive house, to breaks, to trance, to orchestral ambience. It is an artistic journey to a threshold of events that I think will occur in the year 2012. I prefer not to preach my ideas about what I believe will happen in 2012, but I do wish to explore it through audio as an artist. As a researcher of the Mayan calendar system, the "I-ching", and other timekeeping methods of ancient civilizations, I can only state that I believe something profound will happen in the year 2012. Despite numerous claims that the world will end in 2012, I choose to believe that something far more profound will happen....and this is my "auditory painting" of that event (For a visual exploration of my interpretation of 2012, please refer to the paintings that exist at 2advanced.com). Let your imagination interpret what it will, and enjoy the sounds.

November Mix: "Blueprint"
Neverrain Listeners,
This month's mix is slightly more upbeat, trancier, and delves more into borderline psy-trance / tribal-trance, compared with last month's set. I like to change it up to keep things interesting, so while last month's set carried more of a funky vibe, this is defintely a more mind-bending journey along a more serious path.
Enjoy the sounds as always.

August Mix: "True North"
Neverrain Listeners,
Coming at you a bit early this month, very eager to get this mix out for the weekend.
I really tried to push the sonic envelope this month, and steer the August mix into a special place. I tend to do this every August mix, looking back, maybe it's because my birthday is this month and I am always reminded of a sort of rebirth or transformation. Nevertheless, I don't think you will find the two hours of audio that comprise True North "typical", it has a very sweeping set of genres and moods. I find myself constantly refining my sound toward an inevitable complexification and intelligence that I seek, not just in music, but in life as well. And if complexification can be defined as the density of connections, well then I suppose I am ultimately trying to explain the unsaid connectedness that we all share with one another. I think that is the defining essense and power of music.
With that said, I bring you "True North".
Enjoy the sounds as always.

April Mix: "Shade & Aura" Vol. 2 - Aura [Light Mix]
Neverrain Listeners,
The wait is over. Volume 2 of the two part series: "Shade & Aura" is here.
I will keep my words brief this time around, and let the set speak for itself.
I will, however, let you know that I have brought back a few classic tracks from my days in the underground, songs that taught me to see the light, even in times of darkness. The vinyl is extremely old and was put through many harsh conditions (such as live desert sets where dust storms would literally blow sand across the records). Fortunately, I've digitally remastered them exclusively for this set and worked them in via CD decks. Although the sound quality might not be up to par with what you are used to, I am sure the essence of the songs will reach you just the same.
Set aside about 2 hours for the journey, put on your headphones, and crank the volume.
This is "Aura".
Godspeed.

March Mix: "Shade & Aura" Vol. 1 - Shade [Dark Mix]
Neverrain Listeners,
We all go through dark times at one point or another in our lives, but we must make it our mission to find our way back to the light. I wanted to create a series of sets that explore this through sound, not necessarily all in one set, but in a 2 part mix.
It is my pleasure to bring you Volume 1 of this special 2-part series I am recording for March and April, centered around themes of light and dark.
This month's mix is the darker of the two sets, consisting of tech house and tribal/progressive trance. I don't typically spin alot of dark material...so I turned to my collection of tracks by an amazing producer, Rick Pier O'Neil, who's many releases find their way to the shelves of my wall of vinyl. O'neils tracks typically lean toward a very dark progressive sound, but are so well produced that I often stay up to date with everything he puts out. His sound really helped me to construct the feel I wanted for "Shade".....dark, intelligent, and very dance-floor worthy.
Stay tuned next month for the emergence into the light, with Volume 2 "Aura".
So please, put on your headphones and crank the volume for the next two months on Neverrain.
This is "Shade". Enjoy.

November Mix: "Escalation"
Finally, after 12 years of being behind the decks, the NeverRain platform is live. I have had an incredible time this year, being able to perform alongside amazing DJs such as Christopher Lawrence, DJ Trance (Jason Blakemore), and D:Fuse to name a few. Having a full-time career running a design agency has made it difficult for me to find time to develop a mechanism for releasing my mixes to the public, however this month I was able to carve a small opening of time for Neverrain.com. I will be recording live sets each month and posting them here, so you can get a small taste of the music that has shaped my life, and continues to influence me every day. Additionally, I will be releasing beta previews of tracks I am currently working on before they go to 12 inch, and would appreciate any feedback you would like to offer.
So, without further ado, I am proud to present the debut mix here on Neverrain.com, "Escalation", November 2005
Please sit back and relax for the next Hour, and enjoy the sounds.

December Mix: "Glisten"
Right on time, December 1st, 2005. A new mix.
December has always been an introspective month for me. The weather does something to me, makes me look inside myself and re-evaluate where I am in life and what I am doing. This is no different in my design career than it is in my relationship with writing and mixing music. So this month I present a second, special installment to the Neverrain site.
This mix is a winding progression of intelligent breaks, funky trance, and deep, melodic progressive house...very reflective of my mood this month. What is interesting to me about this mix is that it contains many serious undertones of danger which eventually emerge into light. Just when you think the sound is getting very dark, it veers into something epic or funky as though the darkness is being overcome by melodic, almost glistening, sounds that represent the light.
So, please sit back and relax for the next hour or so, and enjoy the sounds of "Glisten", for December 2005.

I have spent an immense amount of time selecting the tracks for this month's set. This is the very essence of what I love to play live; slowly building from soft progressive house, winding through intelligent tech-house, and then breaking through into epic progressive trance. I'll let the mix speak for itself. Let the music surround you & enjoy the journey.

April Mix: "Sakura"
Hello Neverrain listeners,
I am pleased to bring you a special two-hour set this month, entitled "Sakura", which was recorded in the United States and mastered in Kyoto, Japan. I am currently travelling on business and speaking in Tokyo this week...yet I managed to get the set recorded before I left the United States. All post-production for the mix was completed in Japan.
Also noteworthy, is that this mix features two new tracks written by myself; "Glimmer" and "Forward". I hope they add a different dimension to the sound of the set.
This month's track-selection has a lot of variety in it, which makes it a very dynamic mix, but still fits into my usual progressive style. Overall the mix ranges from trancey breakbeats, to a few funky progressive tracks, and then migrates toward some deeper tech-trance. This is one of my more patient mixes, with long transitions between tracks and greater play-time of individual songs.
**Note: Since the original posting of the mix, I have received many comments & emails regarding the meaning of the word "Sakura"...so I thought I would illuminate what Sakura actualy means. Sakura is a type of fragile Japanese cherry blossom, which blooms for a very short period of time in Spring. Normally, it is just a week to ten days before all of the blossoms are carried away by the wind. During this short time the land is covered with the colors and scent of the fragile cherry blooms. The intense beauty and short time span have associated cherry blossoms with spiritual and philosophical ideas such as the beauty and fragility of human life. It also represents a type of rebirth. These are ideas & feelings that I try to convey through all of my mixes. At the moment, the Sakura are in bloom in downtown Tokyo, and other parts of Japan...so I have been able to experience the rebirth first-hand. At one point during my stay here, Sakura blossoms were raining down all around the vehicle I was in, nearly turning the entire sky a magenta color. It was quite a surreal moment.
Please, play this mix loud, and enjoy the sounds.

June Mix: "Attractor"
Hello Neverrain listeners,
Its been a long time coming, and a very, very, very busy month. I basically gave up sleeping for these past 2 months.
But through the stacks of redbull cans, piles of new vinyl pouring in from all over the globe for my mixes, and countless hours spent working on a new version of 2advanced, I managed to emerge on the other side with a brand new website and a shiny new Neverrain mix to celebrate. And it was worth every second of hard work.
I am happy to finally bring you June's mix: "Attractor".
As always, enjoy the journey.
I'm off to catch some Zzz's. See you next month & thank you for your support.

Neverrain listeners,
It's my birthday this month, so I've decided to give myself a little present that I hope you will enjoy just as much as me.
This month's mix, Ultrasonic, is a rollercoaster of epic trance & tech-house tracks that are closest to my heart. What I have done is put together a mix of of my all-time favorite tracks which I rarely spin live, because they are either already highly-popularized by other DJs or they simply don't fit into the dynamics of my typical live sets. Most often when I play live, I try to bring new sounds to my sets, something people have never heard before...which makes it rare that you will hear me pull these out of my record bag on stage. But this month, I am making an exception and rolling them all into this 1 and a half hour long set.
These tracks, in my opinion, represent the very essence of epic trance/house music. They demonstrate the amazing ability that electronic music has to portray all the elements of the human condition; love, tragedy, sadness, weakness, strength and hope...often through pure electronic sound alone and very few lyrics. This is why I became a DJ, so that I could tell stories though my sets and run through the entire gamut of human emotion, from mystery to illumination, from the dark to the light. I don't think there is any better example than this month's set.
Some of you may have heard many of these tracks before, and I hope you will enjoy hearing them again. For those who have not heard these tracks...well, I envy you. Because the first time I heard them, they sent tingles up my spine and I have never forgotten where I was or what I was doing when I first heard them.
So please, put on your best headphones and enjoy the sounds of this very special journey...the August Neverrain set: "Ultrasonic".
