    Mixes/CDs similar to Infinite Euphoria album

    I've been listening a lot to the 'Deeper Shades of' and 'Infinite' Euphoria albums recently and I love the blend of trance, house, downtempo, ambient and even classical on them. Does anybody know of any similar mixes/albums out there?

    Contacting producers re unreleased tracks

    Thanks everyone for the advice, I emailed Tony Grimley and he replied that "the track was made in 1992 and the day tape is nowhere to be found" which is a massive shame, but '1992' definitely doesn't sound right to me? I checked my copy and couldn't find any specific sleeve notes about it, but...

    Contacting producers re unreleased tracks

    I did send him an email about it a few years ago but never got a response, I'm not 100% sure if it went through but I wouldn't be able to know for sure anyway.

    Contacting producers re unreleased tracks

    I've been looking for a track that never got a full release ('Brother Grim - Energy' off the Pure Euphoria album in 2000) for about a decade, and recently found that one of the producers is still active DJing and has a facebook page. Is there any etiquette around messaging producers about...

    Feedback on a trance mix

    (I'd like to preface this by saying this was done in a DAW by manually sequencing tracks and editing transitions, I know it's unconventional so I don't want to pretend I'm a 'proper' DJ or anything) This is the second-ever mix I've put together, I think it's at least serviceable but could...

    Hard trance basslines

    I got hold of a copy of Vengeance Clubsounds 1 a while back, which I thought would help a little with getting the authentic sound I want (since it's a sample pack from the time), however I'm struggling to even mix any kick and bass samples together; every attempt sounds flat/uninspiring...

    Classic Trance demo on VST Hybrid 3

    Hope you don't mind me asking but do you know any specific ones? I use Reason myself so I'm curious 😁

    Simple kick and bass

    I've probably not worded my original post very well but the processing (and 'getting the vibe of the era') is the bit I struggle with - I can make some simple bass sounds (and replicate certain examples somewhat) but getting it to sound 'authentic' - as in like a properly-produced track as...

    Simple kick and bass

    That may be true, but I've been trying for almost a decade now and I've not gotten any closer - I really have no idea how to 'get there'. Not just the 'sound' but production techniques have changed a lot since the late 90s, it's not like there's tutorials out there for this specific...

    Simple kick and bass

    Despite the massive variety of kick drums and bass synths used in trance I am somehow unable to make a combination that sounds good (or passable at least) - everything I put together, whether using samples or self-made patches - sounds very much noticeably 'off'. This is a perfect example: at...

    Inspiration for 'progressive trance' tracks?

    I know I posted a thread not too long ago and I'm still pretty much stuck, but this feels like a different enough question to make a separate post for, may sound somewhat rambling so apologies 😅 I've been listening to some mixes by Nigel Dawson recently (especially Whoop Records Collection Two...

    I tried to find any contact info for them but couldn't find anything, could you drop a link please?

    Rare tracks not found in download stores

    I recently came across this release on discogs (Bytes Brothers - Scottish Scoll) and was disappointed to find that there's seemingly no way to access these tracks anymore; one person has been able to upload the Club Mix on youtube but the other three simply do not exist anymore - they're even...

    Frustrated with not getting a 'genuine' trance sound

    Thanks for the kind words, unfortunately the 'first 80%' is also difficult 😓 I haven't finished anything since the second track I linked, and that was over two years ago now - it's a struggle to work on something that doesn't grind to a halt within a few hours for lack of inspiration.

    Frustrated with not getting a 'genuine' trance sound

    As much as I'd like to have a studio setup, I have neither the money nor space for anything more; I'm still a student too so I don't even have a permanent room I'd be able to set up in anyway.
