In the summer of 2012, something great happened. After talking about hundreds of livesets, mixtapes and of course mixshows here on our board, we decided it was time for the forum itself to join the airwaves. And what started out as small fun little community thing, ended up being…well, something much bigger of which we can be very proud of! But after all those years filled with specials, milestones, featured Axtone guestmixers but most importantly, you guys in one way or another, we felt that it was the right time to give the Forum Podcast a proper farewell with a very last episode. Now don’t despair! We are going to reboot the show, starting this year. Axwell Forum Radio will continue where AFP will stop. Axwell Forum Radio, or AFR I guess, will incorporate the forum way more. I think you will see/hear what I mean by that when you listen to the very First episode around end of January. But until that that time comes, let’s enjoy AFP with this last chapter. We conclude the podcast with a very very VERY special episode. Over the past few months, I’ve contacted those who once did a mix for the show and asked to pick ONE track they’ve played that was key to their entire episode. It took some more time than I thought it would, but after a lot of asking around, searching, rebooting, remashing, designing and mixing we at last ended up with 50 essential tracks that tell the tale of 50 episodes of the Axwell Forum Podcast. So for the very last time, enjoy!

A special like this is suitable any time of the year, and with the dust still settling from the Miami Music Week, we thought it this would be a nice way to close a fantastic week of music and new ID's! The tracks, selected by the forum, are old and modern classics that are absolutely soaked in the sunny miami waters as they have either been debuted during the happening, or simply really big! Mixing this week's episode is AFP veteran Romain G, who was more than happy to the arsenal of suggestions together in just over one hour of memories! On artwork duties as always, is Josh Muscat, who did his best to make an absolutely perfectly fitting artwork for the special! Thank to Josh and Romain for their input, and the forum guys for the tracks! Happy listening!

DC Bull's long overtime debut for the podcast!

There has been some shuffling in the final run of last year's schedule, but it's all set to go now. We start with mr. Sobieski first. I already heard his mix and it's everything you expect from mister classic house :). Some featured names to get y'all in the mood: Armand van Helden, Soul Central, Todd Terry, Rivera. Doesnt get much more smooth than this :)

For the first episode of 2015, we look back on 2014. Our forum members have selected our favorite tunes. Over the course of the past days, the forum voted for the best of the best and ended up with our ten most influential tracks of last year. The episode is mixed according to the top ten that came out of the voting period. The opener ended up as number 10, the second tune 9, all the way to the very last tune, which won it all and can be seen THE track of 2014 for our forum as a whole! We hope you enjoy our year in a nutshell, and stick with us for the rest of 2015. We don't want to spoil much yet, but it's safe to say it's going to be quite an interesting year for our podcast :)

Something that originally started as an idea, a mere concept, is now nothing less than pure reality. That's the story in short of Chris Avantgarde his ever growing AVANT / GARDE label, one of the pioneers in the movement that Avantgarde describes himself as the "new generation of labels". AVANT / GARDE her fanbase and ambassador group exist of many different individuals all over the world, but there is no denying that the Axwell Forum is heavily represented amidst the label's foundation. From the start, everyone here was more than happy to support Chris his label with her very first steps, which bloomed into the living breathing concept you see today. This Axwell Forum Podcast episode followed a similar path as AVANT / GARDE, as various members opted for the IDEA of a special AVANT / GARDE themed episode, possibly mixed by mr. Avantgarde himself. Luckily, Chris liked this idea as well and he was more than happy to do an episode for us. After a few months of emailing, the AVANT / GARDE special was there. I was not totally surprised that a great guy like Chris would make time to do an episode. That his episode would consist of 100 % new AVANT / GARDE ID's, however, I could have never guessed! ENJOY!

Tribeman becomes member, member becomes hero, hero becomes legend, legend becomes memory. This week, we got reminded of the ruthless universal rule that everything great must eventually come to an end. Wakandacoverman, a dear friend to us all, revealed to us he must leave this forum and return to his tribe for good. A sad moment indeed. A departure like that should not go unnoticed, and I felt that there was only one proper way Wakanda to say farewell: A Wakandacoverman episode. After arriving in a classified part of African savannah, I finally located the man preparing freshly caught boar in his chieftain hut. After hours and hours of trying to communicate, hunting porcupine and dancing around fires to please Ubuntuklucknii, the mighty god of rythem and groove from Wakanda's tribe, the mix finally came together into one hour of african baked beats! Ranging from Toto´s classic "Africa", the modern anthem "Kwango" and the tribe chieftain's very own "Wakanda", the whole mix is sure to give a look into Wakandacoverman's mysterious grumpy head. So put on your adventure hats, your safari vest, your hiking boots and step into the vast open plains of Wakandacoverman's world and say farewell to the legend with a smile :)

Time for a member mix again! At the time of discussing the podcast, Mare was quite new to the community but already contributing like a veteran! Now we couldn't think of the forum without him. The mix features a lot of classics both new and old members will surely recognize. Enjoy! Special thanks to Josh Muscat, as always, for the fantastic artwork :)

If you're a loyal podcast follower, the name SMYT should ring a bell. He's responsible for the fantastic intro from the first AAM episode and took control over the NEW_ID Remixes special earlier this year. Now he's given the full control on his very own episode. Without spoiling too much, I can guarantee you that his talent for rebooting and creating mashups will be heavily represented in his first ever solo contribution to the ever growing AFP catalog. Enjoy!

When Dubvision announced an "emotional" return on Axtone a few weeks ago, we at the forum instantly knew they were talking about the huge ID played by Axwell early June. A track we now know as "Destination", a collaboration with Australian duo Feenixpawl. When a huge release like this comes along, it's important to celebrate it in the right manner. And what better way to celebrate than to leave the episode into the capable hands of two absolute Axtone veterans: Aden Forte and Josh Soon, better known as Feenixpawl. In 60 minutes, they will showcase their favorite current and classic tracks, that go hand in hand with their latest Axtone output. So prepare yourself to be taken on a fantastic one hour ride, only to stop at one of the biggest vocal tracks of the year. Please enjoy, 60 minutes of Feenixpawl!

The original 'Arms Around Me' will go into the books as an absolute Axtone milestone. The vocal sample alone already makes the members of our forum, together with thousands of people around the word, instantly go into dance mode. When Axtone announced that there would be coming a remix of this, people were curious to see if it could even compete with Hard Rock Sofa´s original work. But when the rework rose to the surface, it became clear that ´Arms Around Me´ was going to round up the dance scene one more time and have everybody from Amsterdam to Zimbabwe pull out those dancing shoes once more. When we were in preparations of making this special, we suddenly thought to themselves that no other thanthe remixers themselves would be able to make a fitting mix to their rework. And when they replied positively to our suggestion, we couldn´t be happier. We knew that this special would get nothing less than fantastic, and when we heard it for the first time, we could only conclude that they sure as hell delivered. Be ready to be taken into 60 minutes of pure house heaven by two absolute legends of the scene. Please enjoy, Chocolate Puma!

When I was planning the To The Sun special, I immediately had to think about the boys from Trinary Flight. With their AFP021 debut being nothing short of fantastic, I had to ask them. Their skybound approach to dance music couldn't fit a mix around a track called "To The Sun" any better, and so they delivered to me the longest AFP episode ever. So buckle up, and please turn off your eyelids and put on your headphones. With a deep orange sky, the sunniest destination you could wish for and your trustworthy captains Trinary Flight, you've got a smooth flight ahead of you. Special thanks to Breakfast design for the ever fantastic artwork, Caspy and Muscat for the AFP makeover, Axtone and Deniz Koyu for the track and ofcourse House5, Supermode and Qwerty for mixing it!

Although this special edition is long overdue, it proves that NEW_ID's remix of How We Gonna Stop The Time by Kraak + Smaak is certainly timeless. Even weeks after the release, our members are still eager compile this special edition and celebrate Axtone's 45th release. Special thanks for SMYT for taking over mixing duties this week. Apart from the members many selected tracks, SMYT brought his own touch as well with personal edits and cuts. Special thanks to Breakfast Design for the fantastic artwork and Josh Muscat for editing it into an AFP edition!

"In the begining there was House, in the middle there is Axwell and in THE end there is Axwell's Forum and his fans..." When you say Axwell Forum, you say Didas. So when talking about the Axwell Forum Podcast, Dids simply has to be in our ever growing mixer's roster. After almost two years, he finally agreed and delivered a mix that manifest the forum vibe all of our post are part of. Didas himself: "I wanted from the very first to make a life journey of my afp mix of my best memories from Ax's liveshows I attended in the past... I choosed some of his best mashups, random track and own originals that made me to have lots of goosebumps and lovely sensations. A few edits made the rest. Just dance and embrace with arms wide open it like you were in a beach party with everyone else from the forum..."

The world cup is still in full swing, but after so many high paced action, a little laidback beats could offer a sweet moment of relaxation. OlivierM brings just that with his more deeper and chilled out approach. OlivierM himself: "Imagine yourself… Chillin’ on a beach or by a pool in a warm summer day, relaxing with your friends for your holidays. I designed my set for those little moments, as a journey through the summer feelings. With deep house and tech house in my wallet, i wanted this mix to be a compilation of the tunes that made me feel a good vibe over the past few months." I hope you’ll like it !

With this worldcup shaping up to be one of the most memorable football tournaments of the last few years and the fact that our forum has quite the number of passionate fans, it felt almost natural for us to make a special Axwell Forum soundtrack to go alongside it. With two hours of Brazilian themed classics, spread over more than 30 tracks, this mix has everything to accompany the great matches ahead!

Cam Cabré is a name new to AFP, but the guy behind it isn't. Under his older alias, Cam has already showed some of his music tastes in episode 009. He has grown a lot since then and decided to have a fresh start under Cam Cabré. With an arsenal of forum favorites and own productions, Cam works his way to a rather explosive finale, where he mashes over 10 axtone/axwell tracks in one. Cam Cabré himself: "When putting together this mix, it was very important to me to express my deepest and richest musical influences over the years. Some of these tracks have been very influential to me as I've grown into the producer and music lover I am today. I tried to get creative by mashing up a few of these songs, as well as throwing in a few of my own creations too. The result is a mix that I feel best sums up my musical life."

We have an AFP veteran in the name of Purtnit, or Henrik Ti, on board for episode 23. Henrik has had various episodes in the past and also joined me for the first episode ever in the form of a beach mix. His style can be best described as laidback and techy, and this mix is no different. Featuring a blend between his favorite groovy chillout tracks and his own productions, Henrik did his best to build this episode in a coherent personal skyscraper of melodies and basslines. Henrik himself: “As I made the mix, I wanted to represent myself and my taste in music, because of this my mix consists a lot of new music by myself, a few tracks I like to listen to in terms of House and Techno, but also more chilled stuff I really enjoy”. Tracklist: 01. Alex Metric & Oliver - Hope 02. HenrikTi - PURE 03. Bicep - NRG106 04. Digitalism - Wolves 05. Steve Angello - Tuesday (HenrikTi Rework) 06. HenrikTi - ID 07. HenrikTi - ID 08.

A little later as usual, but there non the less. The new axwell forum podcast is mixed by Enric Torr. He did a mix before under his Wazza alias, and now he's back with an arsenal of his own mash ups. A big fan of science fiction, Enric went with a starship theme to reflect his journey through both groovy as big sounds he plays in 2014. Enric Torr himself: "It's a mix in which I've tried to put all the genres that I like together, making it like a journey of the tracks that have influenced me the most in the past and recent times!"

For the first time ever, we welcome not one, not two but three people under one name to the show. Trinary Flight, consisting of forum regulars Supermode, Qwerty and House5, formed just last summer via the production thread on the multimedia board. After many post exchanging production tips and tricks, the three of them finally decided to team up. For their debut mix, the trio invites you to step aboard Trinary Flight airlines and familiarize yourself with their classy yet progressive sounds in the forum of great track selection, special mashups, own productions and a huge rework for an alltime Axtone classic. Trinary Flight themselves: “The Trinary Flight project was born the 26th of June 2013, when Vincent Fillieule (House5) suggested in the Ax Forum Collab topic to do the Toolroom Records contest at that time. Only Rober Gonzalez (Qwerty) and Koen Vanratingen (Supermode) joined him, and this resulted to their 1st EP called “Thinking About You”, an EP in which each member let his touch. When the AFP Bauceee Vinelli got to hear the all-time classic “Leave The World Behind” remixed by us (premiered in this mix), he immediately asked for a guest mix. We then got to work, trying to shape a solid mix, in which we wanted to put chill vibes and energetic tracks, in one word our favourites but we also justify our alias with beautiful tracks like Transatlantic Flight (Axwell Remix) or Milky Way (Sidelmann remix). This mix feels like a party from Miami to Ibiza : a day mix in Miami with all those chillout tracks, then we cross the ocean and we end up in Ibiza throwing energetic beats.” Tracklist: 01.
