Looking for the track at 59:40, Shazam just links back to this specific set with no identifying info and the uploader doesn't remember the tracklist

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?

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...

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.

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...

(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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

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.

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.

The mixing is definitely an issue, I agree, but I'm struggling to be able to make things that *could* be mixed, if that makes sense. If you know any good resources on mixing (especially for trance) I'd be happy to check them out (y) I just have a regular laptop and earbuds; no speakers or...

I hope I don't sound rude but I did know that much, I was wondering if there's anything specific I was missing because I've used many dozens of claps with even more kick drums and yet can rarely make any combo that sound 'good', regardless of what layering, reverb, timeshifting, etc I put on top...

I know I posted a more general thread earlier, but this is something that I've particularly been struggling with: no matter which samples I use it's difficult to get any kick + clap combination to sound 'natural'. Even when using an existing track as a 'guideline' it's difficult to get something...

Thanks for the reply, I certainly don't mind 'walls of text'; if anything I appreciate the level of advice even more (y) In regards to reference, I've been listening to trance (and other electronic genres) since before I started making them, so I have plenty of reference material - my music...
