Hopeful Skies 134: “Storytelling“ (Melodic Progressive House Mix by Mark Moncrieff)

“Hopeful Skies“ is a weekly series where I highlight some of the best recent tracks in the progressive house scene. Each mix includes several of the most recent tracks that I think will become classics in no time, though I slip in some long-time classics here and there too. In addition to progressive house, I also show some love to deep house and trance as well. While I’m away on a six-week trip to Japan, I’ve had some of the greatest producers of the MPH scene take on Hopeful Skies’ mixing duties while I’m gone. The third set is by Mark Moncrieff, one of MPH’s fastest-rising stars and a regular of this channel. This set is particularly special: aptly titled “Storytelling,“ this mix highlights the top 10 tracks that inspired Mark to join the MPH scene and left an indelible mark (no pun intended) on his sound. Take a seat and listen to this melodic journey that made Scotland’s greatest MPH producer what he is today! Link to House-Mixes version: COMING SOON ~~~ TRACKLIST: 1. jav3x Vs.

It’s a simple concept, but it’s association with sky and divinity/the heavenly capture the essence of what I want Hopeful Skies to be. I share tunes that I feel captures a very real divine beauty that’s intrinsic to all creation, music included. The concept of 天 captures a small taste of that beauty.
