    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

    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...

    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...

    Tips for mixing claps

    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...

    Frustrated with not getting a 'genuine' trance sound

    I've been working on music for about eight years now, in a couple of styles but mostly trying to replicate the classic late 90s-early 2000s trance sound; however I haven't been able to achieve an 'authentic' sound - i.e. something that could be mistaken for a record released at the time - and I...

    Unknown trance compilation?

    This was uploaded by a channel I'm subscribed to the other day and I'm almost 100% certain that's not the actual title or artist of the track - it sounds exactly like a Russenmafia (Kramer & Pogadl) style hard trance track - but I can't find anything on Discogs, Beatport or Junodownload...
