    Production Tips, Tricks and Advice

    This series is pretty old, but very informative - the psy-tech producer Ryanosaurus recording the entire process of him making one of his glitchy prog psy tunes in Ableton Live. You can see how he gets into a workflow of constantly resampling and sample chopping to get all those textures and ear...

    I mean, I see where you're coming from, but it's really not a bad place to work - management has been pushing me hard, but they know I'm on the spectrum and understand that I'll sometimes have bad days and the occasional anxiety attack. They've been nothing but accommodating of that. And this...

    Dude, that's just the tip of the fucking iceberg. Neil Cicierega is one of the pioneers of internet culture, and also one of the greatest mashup artists to ever live.

    Ilya Malyuev

    I said it before in the thread I posted about that track, and I'll say it again - Glimmer is one of the best progressive trance tracks of the 00s, hands-down. Really sucks that it flew under everyone's radar.

    @Jetflag can you remix this instead?

    I think it's safe to say I'm experiencing some soft burnout from my job nowadays. I work online customer service, and there has been a LOT of pressure on us to keep our KPIs high - especially on me, as I was previously underperforming in a few areas. Thankfully that's no longer the case, but I...

    Magnus - Lighthouse (Artist Album) [TBA]

    This is some good shit! Major key psylifting is such a neglected space in trance music, and your work in that vein up to now has been wonderful (Signal Strength is still a kick in the ass all these years later) Just curious, but do you still have the WAVs for the 2nd Born EP? That one seems to...

    Nitrous Oxide & Simon Gregory Pres. Digital Drift - Flat Out [Enhanced Progressive]

    Thought this was N2O and Simon Patterson at first

    Leama - Melodica (includes Humate Mix) [2001]

    The Humate remix of this is something amazing. Techy, progressive, deep, evocative, all at the same time. Really glad to have found that in time for the set I played last December.

    Super8 & Tab - Suru [2007]

    "Bye good guy....bye good guy... Bye....guy....goodbye....guy...." Will never be unable to hear the vocal chop that way. But yeah, classic track that I've been enjoying ever since I found it in HS (along with Elektra)

    A.M. - Arise (Hammer & Funabashi Remix) [2006]

    This goes SO fucking hard.

    Humate - Choose Life [2000]

    Having stumbled upon (and played live) Humate's amazing remix of Leama's "Melodica" late last year, I was looking for more tracks from them in that vein, and found this - instant classic for me now :) I know everyone loves this guy for "Love Stimulation", but I honestly think this is a far...

    Most missed producer in the trance scene.

    Simon Templar (seems to have no new releases after his album Balance in 2017) Oliver Prime (nothing new since 2014; had one of the very best psychedelic progressive sounds ever) Ilya Malyuev (was more a progressive house producer toward the end, but my God, what a producer!) Timewave (seems to...

    Active Sight - Tears Of Joy [2004]

    I guess partly thanks to this thread I really listened to this track (as in gave it my full attention) a while back, even though I'd had the file for some time, and....I'm pleased to say this is one of those increasingly rare trance tracks with a melody that actually touched my heart and stays...

    What's on your mind today?

    He roundhouse-kicked the bucket. Didn't care at all for his Trump-supporting, but I do admire him for being the only human being to successfully use a live rattlesnake as a condom.

    What was the first ever 'Uplifting' subgenre track? Who coined the term?

    I used to worry a lot about classifying subgenres, but these days I really don't care, because a lot of my favourite trance has always straddled the boundaries of what we might consider uplifting or progressive to be. But I've thought to myself before that one of the first tracks that...

    U2 - Beautiful Day (Mat Zo Bootleg) [2007]

    My only problem with this amazing track is that I don't think a high quality rip of it exists anywhere
