It all began for Brian Miesner aka Brian Bacchus in 1999 at 18 years old. Stationed in Monterey, CA with the US Air Force, his roommate talked about heading up to San Francisco to see this guy named "Sasha." After that fateful night, standing near the dance floor just taking it all in, there was no going back. Fast forward 6 months, and dozens of records later, Brian began his DJ career at a small lounge in San Francisco.
Things began to progress very quickly. Stationed an hour north of London in 1999-2001, Brian began playing sets all over London, East Anglia, and the Midlands of Britain under the moniker "Bacchus." This culminated with a bi-weekly residence at Norwich's "Time," a venue holding about 1500 people. His sets started to straddle the line between trance and progressive house with more strictly house sounds beginning to emerge. He found his footing in building sets that progressed through many shades and feelings of what EDM had to offer.
Moving with the Air Force in 2001, Brian further honed his house music skills with sets at Omaha's now-fabled Bar 415. Playing alongside great Omaha DJs like Myth, Kennedy, and Glen Okata 415 became Omaha's premier dance music venue. At over 9 years running, the legacy of 415 continues today!
In early 2004 Brian finished his enlistment with the Air Force and moved to Las Vegas. Sets at Las Vegas' long-standing Thursday night attraction SoulKitchen (organized and promoted by Edgar Reyes) solidified his arrival. Over the next 5 years he would play guest sets at some of Las Vegas' most elite venues to include ICE as featured on the reality show "The Club."
Working in banking during the 2008 financial crisis pulled Brian away from playing publicly. The desire to DJ and share music with others only grew stronger during this inactivity. Now in Kansas City, MO Brian Bacchus returns to the decks with more determination than ever before!
Love the opening and ending tracks :) I see you're easing into Traktor rather well!
@LacesTraces: Wow, thank you for such great feedback! I'll be in your neck of the woods (Topeka) tomorrow night! I think D-Virus and I will be the only 2 DJs so we'll probably get pretty long sets, over an hour at least. Come check it out if you're able: http://www.facebook.com/events/368121289904384/
Of all the remixes I've heard of the original (and we all know there are some really insane ones) this is by far the best. It preserves all the elements that made the original great and added even more. Thank you very much for such a great rework!
@Missing DC: Thanks for all of your feeback! This is style I'd like to play more often for sure!
@Triport Media Publishing: Thanks! That's Shur-I-Kan - Like Rick Says, it's naturally a bit slower actually so it's usually a bit more chill :)
Excellent work once again Rick, didn't use the S2 for this one?
Argh! And another... between Rotation and Taco I played Beckers, D-Nox - Jet Lag Slave (Rikardo Mix)
I also just found a mistake... that tracklisting is wrong. The 5th track is Soundprank - Rotation (PROFF Remix)
@Swallace: That's Tomcraft - Taco
@Swallace: I really hope to! Trying to get more gigs and I think every day I get closer to where I want to be. You've helped me with that goal as well, every time you talk about these mixes on FB my traffic is almost double what it typically is here! I can't thank you enough for that!

@Swallace: I really want to give you a heartfelt thank you for all of your great comments and support. The feedback is incredibly helpful and encouraging! I'll post the tracklisting here shortly! Paint On was a house party that welcomed folks that went to the Dayglow party.
This is some excellent work :)
@pitchblackmusic: Thank you so much sir. I'm prepping my list for IB4. Though I haven't yet reviewed my independent labels...
I almost wish for the days of vinyl release once again. At least back then I didn't have to anticipate great tracks like the remix of I'm Free... incredible mix. Thank you once again so very much!
@Rick Maxwell: Absolutely, and of course it's from one of my favorite all time producers. His remix of Iio - At the End is still one of my favorite tracks of all time as well
@Swallace: That's Philogresz - Isolated Funk Ensemble (Sarah Goldfarb Mix) and thank you!

Greetings from Kansas City, USA! I'm very happy to find your page on Soundcloud, I used to listen to a lot of your stuff years ago and couldn't find it for a while, good to get back to it! I also read what you posted about Oslo and how there aren't many good venues. In Kansas City, a city of about 3 million people, there are only a handful of good venues, it's very surprising! I hope you get a great residency in Oslo soon, I'm fighting the good fight here as well. Thanks for another great mix!
I now religiously listen to these and the Intensified mixes. While they're all great, this one is something special, and I'm only halfway through it. Absolutely incredible!
This is absolutely excellent!
Mason - You are Not Alone (Orig Mix)
@Foltron: Know what it might be? I would love to see the tracklist for this whole set, very very nice!
