We’re incredibly proud to share that Sunset founder Phil Reid has been invited back to perform another guest mix on Kiss FM Australia — widely regarded as Australia’s number one destination for dance music.

Being invited to feature on Kiss FM is a genuine privilege. The station has a long-standing reputation for championing quality electronic music and showcasing DJs who represent the depth and diversity of the scene. To have Sunset Sessions represented on such a respected platform is something we don’t take lightly.

Phil’s return to Kiss FM reflects not only his ongoing relationship with the station, but also the growth of the Sunset Sessions brand — a project built on passion, consistency, and a love of connecting people through sound. What began as a personal mix series has grown into a platform that celebrates both established and emerging DJs from around the world.

We’d like to extend a sincere thank you to the Kiss FM team for the continued support and trust. Moments like these reaffirm why Sunset exists: to share music, tell stories, and create meaningful connections through dance music.

This episode features a very special guest mix from Kane Nelson, co-founder of Digital Society— and we’re seriously excited to welcome him to Sunset Sessions.

Known for genre-fluid sets spanning house, progressive, trance, techno and beyond, Kane has performed across the UK and internationally — including India, Ibiza, and the Amsterdam Dance Event, sharing the stage with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Solarstone, and Markus Schulz.

It was at ADE where he marked a major milestone with the release of Digital Society International Vol. 1, produced alongside legendary Gatecrasher resident Matt Hardwick.

We’re proud to present this exclusive 60-minute guest mix, alongside Phil recorded especially for Sunset.

As much as Sunset Sessions is about looking forward — discovering the latest DJs, artists, and new releases across trance and progressive — I think it’s just as important to occasionally look back.

To reflect on the records that helped shape our scene.

The tracks that laid the foundations for the sound we still love today.

With that in mind, Volume 65 brings back a much-loved Sunset Sessions concept: Forgotten Classics.

The Forgotten Classics series first made its debut nine years ago, in Sunset Sessions Volume 3.

It’s a concept that revisits iconic artists — but not necessarily the tracks you’d immediately think of when their names come up.

Often overlooked.

Sometimes underrated.

But every bit as powerful.

It’s an intriguing idea, and one I’d love to continue exploring in the future — so I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

What forgotten or underrated tracks do you think deserve a place in a future Forgotten Classics mix?

We’ll be back on more familiar territory next time, and 2026 is shaping up to be a big year — with some very exciting things ahead, including a number of great guest DJs joining us along the way.

As always, turn it up and enjoy.

This is our final mix of 2025 — the annual year mix, bringing together some of the standout tracks from across the past twelve months.

2025 has been a really special year for Sunset. It marked 20 years of the Sunset brand, and to celebrate we brought the team back together — with myself, Ant Smith, and Col Webster collaborating on a special anniversary mix.

I also had the honour of making my debut mix on KISS FM Australia, which was a real milestone moment for me personally.

Right now, I honestly feel the trance and progressive scene is the strongest it’s been in many years. There have been some absolutely sensational releases throughout the year.

Alongside the usual places I discover new music — like Pure Trance Radio with Solarstone and Group Therapy from Above & Beyond, and even a nice re-emergence from Max Graham this year — there are a couple of people I really want to acknowledge for their contribution to the scene and the promotion of quality music.

Firstly, a big shout-out to Paul Cazzar from Kiss FM Australia — a true supporter of the underground scene.

Through The Pulse, which has become a regular part of my Saturday morning routine, and The Kiss Limelight Show, Paul continues to champion quality music, emerging artists, and the sounds that really matter.

Much respect for everything you do for the industry.

The second shout-out goes to Vriji Staat, aka William Kupera

For me, Will continues to be an absolute constant force in the scene. As both a DJ and producer, he’s consistently putting out incredible work, and I genuinely believe he deserves far more recognition than he gets.

Between his on-air and location mix series, he released an incredible 24 mixes throughout 2025, championing new music — and I’ve discovered heaps of new tracks through those sets this year.

We’re really looking forward to welcoming him back next year, alongside his Anlou Music partner Richard Franklin, for an exclusive guest mix to celebrate their new track release coming in early 2026.

Sunset Sessions has always been about championing the scene and the DJs within it. If you’re a DJ and you’d like to get involved with a guest mix next year, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

That’s it from me for 2025 — thank you so much for all the support throughout the year.

This is Volume 60 — a milestone worth marking — so I thought I’d do something a little different.

Whist modern technology is great and it has made the scene much more accessible to everybody, I do feel that there is a bit of a lost art to manually beatmatching - and Sync button of not I think its very important that Every DJ is able to understand and do this rather than rely on what the waveforms are showing them

Of the back of that I present to you a vinyl-only mix. No digital, no USBs — just me, two turntables, and some of the records I’ve collected over the years. I’m calling it ‘I’ve Got That on Vinyl’

For me, it’s simply a chance to have a bit of fun whilst sharing some of the tracks from my much younger days.

It’s been about 15 years since I last properly spun vinyl, so this mix isn’t perfect - this should be interesting!
