Frisky Radio: Set of the Year [2013]

I bought a monthly subscription to Frisky Radio about two years ago and I'm still really enjoying it as it's my main medium for new electronic music in the form of 60 minute or 120 minute sets that are mostly centered on the progressive house micro-genre but can vary to progressive tribal and even techno/trance depending on your personal taste.  Every month or so you get a true gem of a set that can be commensurate to an album release.  One that is so well put together you shake your head that it was included in your subscription.

For the calendar year 2013, I have to go all the way back to March to highlight my personal favorite Frisky Set of the year.  It's Marcelo Vasami's 2 hour set from March 2013 and it garners my perfect 10/10 rating.  The set doesn't go too far out of range of the progressive house mainline that Marcelo is known for in his Inception series but the incremental build-up is absolutely fantastic.  The peak time track, which I still don't know the artist/title, follows three or four tracks that perfectly set the stage so the listener isn't surprised and the transition is mellifluous leading up to the insanity of this peaker.  One of the transition tracks leading up to the peak time track is the absolutely smooth sounds of "Still Here" (Oscar Vazquez Unofficial Mix) by Ziger.  This track has an oscillating (almost hypnotic) progressive synth accompanied by an incoherent male vocal that is more than apt.  It's the kind of music you lose yourself in while dancing or running and just when you lose yourself in this track a few tracks later comes the peak which absolutely sets your feet on fire.  It's at the 1 hr 40 minute mark and any trainspotters out there that know the title I'd love to know the artist and track title as it's one of my favorites of the year.  All in all, this Inception set by Marcelo Vasami is stellar and deserves my set of the year honors.
