    What's on your mind today?

    Just got back from playing my fourth live set this year, and my first opener. Pretty sure I fucking crushed it, if I do say so myself - my friends and colleagues came out to see me, everyone said they loved my song selection, I knew the tracks well enough that they almost mixed themselves in a...

    Mark Sherry pres. Outburst - A Star Within a Star (Mark Sherry's Trance Energy Intro Mix) [2008]

    Probably the best trance version I've heard of John Murphy's Adagio in D Minor.

    M.I.B. (Men in Beats) - Keep Pushin' [2004]

    Old one-off EP of Fred Baker from 2004, containing (in my opinion) one of the greatest cuts of tech trance ever released. No melody, just atmosphere and pure stomping power. I first came across this in one of Eco's sets when I was in college and have loved it ever since. This was prominently...

    DuMonde - Never Look Back [2001]

    Bump because after twelve damn years I finally found out what the whispered and sung German phrase is: "Kein Züruck Für Dich", or "No Turning Back for You", which as I suspected is a translation of the song's title. Similar to how the spoken lyrics after the first chorus are a German...

    Live tech trance set (re)recording, from my set in Calgary, Canada on 25.05.17

    Re-recorded because there was a glitch during the show that caused the third track to loop for about 2 mins before I resumed. --- TRACKLIST --- Human Resource - Dominator (Darkboy On the Train Rework) Key4050 - Irwin LOUD - Yeah Blank & Jones feat. Bobo - Perfect Silence (E-Craig's 212...

    What's on your mind today?

    Last night was my big tech trance set! I was opening for the headliner DJ who flew in from Hong Kong, I played to a crowd of at least 100 people, there was a sick visual projection system and massive speaker stacks, and everyone was having an amazing time… …except me, because this was the first...

    What's on your mind today?

    Just came back from the house of the promoter who asked me to play a tech trance set this coming Saturday - I practiced for about and hour and a half on her decks, and my whole body is ready. I'm opening for her friend that she's flying in all the way from Hong Kong, and this is at a show that...

    Airwave vs. Rising Star ‎– Sunspot (incl. DCML Remix) [2002]

    Y'all will never guess what I mashed up the 2005 mix with

    What's on your mind today?

    My country (Canada) has comfortably elected the former governor of the Bank of England as our Prime Minister. I don't entirely agree with his policies, but every other issue in this election cycle has been overshadowed by the president of the United States literally threatening to annex our...

    The Digital Blonde - Paradise [2017]

    Probably the only major key track under The Digital Blonde alias (Ricky did a few more under that DR S7R4NG3 collab project). A bit slow for my liking, but still very beautiful.

    Sebastian Brandt - 450 [2010]

    I'm still partial to Status Excessu D as the best ASoT anthem, but this is still a gem of a track. I think this was my first exposure to both the ASoT label and Sebastian Brandt back in the day.

    Federation - Something to Dream About [2011]

    Solarstone and Ben Lost's goth rock-meets-trance hybrid project Federation burst onto the scene in 2011 with 'Synchronized' and 'Innocent Desire', both on Perfecto Fluoro, but this track was only ever released as a CDR. A damn shame, because as a result I didn't hear of it until nearly a decade...

    What's on your mind today?

    Just played my second gig! Was kind of short notice - the same promoter who helped me get hooked up with my last one threw an outdoor party in town (while it was only a few degrees out). There were a few mixing errors since I wasn't used to a few of the deck functions, but overall it was a great...

    Andain - Beautiful Things [2003]

    IMO, the Unplugged Mix is tied with As the Rush Comes (Sweeping Strings Mix) as the greatest vocal trance song ever. Funny coincidence that both were on the same disk of Nyana. And trust me, it counts as trance. Electronic music with acoustic instruments has been a thing as long as people have...

    Lucid Haze - Sol Reïnvented (Aerium pres. Avalon 62 remix) [Bootleg]

    This is awesome! Great job Leander. Made some semi-custom artwork for it just now:

    Adagio for Strings - Tiësto or Ferry Corsten ?

    IMO, this is the best version of this track. It keeps the intensity of the Tiësto version, but extends the break and adds a bit more of Barber's original.
