    Progressive Vibez

    For any trance lovers who enjoy the slower BPMs.. this is for you. This is my set that was featured on Vibez.Live in South Africa on Saturday (16.03.24), a much loved Trance station that features artists and DJs. For this set I picked out new releases with BPMs typically around 125BPM to...

    Driftmoon - Tribe Of The Sun [Pure Trance]

    Driftmoon? Sure? Not what I was expecting to hear. Really enjoying the sound of Driftmoon especially over the past 12 months as I have been closely following new releases, but not this one. That tribal vocal just sounds like noise. Perhaps it is still under production...

    The Digital Blonde & Deestopia - Analogic [Pure Trance]

    Not for me. Not into progressive trance unless it is something special (such as Push used to produce)

    The Best Of... STARPICKER (Producer Showcase)

    Starpicker is a relatively new artist on the scene and somewhat unknown, but has produced some outstanding tunes and got releases on GO Music and Subculture. He caught my attention with his tune "A New Age" and its incredible breakdown and I love the catchy uplifting melodies that he uses in...

    Ben Nicky, Hannah Laing, Paul Findlay X Signum - Coming on Strong [Armada]

    Expected to hate it, but actually I don't. For the most part it's literally the same tune - the melody, vocal, everything. Either side of that is a heavy high energy kicking baseline which doesn't really add anything to the tune.. BUT.. I can see myself playing this in a live set. Of course it...

    Talla 2XLC & Lost Witness - Red Sun Rising

    This tune that he released last year was superb. I enjoy most of his remakes/remixes, but this one was lacking. Maybe I expected too much.

    Talla 2XLC & Lost Witness - Red Sun Rising

    This is a much better rework that Lost Witness did himself a few years ago

    Talla 2XLC & Lost Witness - Red Sun Rising

    Love the work of Talla 2XLC and been impressed with his remixes of the classics over recent years, but this one not so much. It's a decent production, but I guess I was hoping for something more exceptional. This remake that he has done with Lost Witness doesn't follow the same melodies, and...

    Hemstock & Mercurial Virus Vs D10 - Cronos [Hard Trance Europe]

    Wouldn't be expecting that quality unfortunately. Especially as no involvement from Jennings Not been impressed by Hemstock releases over recent years (unless I've forgotten a couple - which says it all)

    Ralphie B & Frank Waanders Pres Collide1 - The Cult

    Fire tune! Love the energy in this and the haunting vocal. Can't wait to drop this in my next set. What do you guys think?
