Hello everyone! My name is Cong Shengzhuo (where "Cong" is the family name). But in ease of pronunciation, it's better to call me Sean Cong as in the username. I come from Weihai, China, and is now an undergraduate student majoring in mathematics, studying in Nanjing, China.

I'm not a long listener of trance. I was first brought into trance at the end of 2017 by Gareth Emery - Long Way Home. Now time has passed, and my interest has shifted to deeper and more underground scenes of the genre, especially tracks from JOOF Recordings, Forescape Digital, Pure Trance, Borderline, etc. or artists like Narel, Coredata, and Peter Steele. I have been active in a Chinese music platform called NetEase Cloud Music since 2018, with the ID "灵秀之韵" (pinyin: líng xìu zhī yùn, literal translation: elegant and charming music), and joined the discussion group of "Trance Weekend", a trance activity in China which often organizes trance events throughout the country.

I knew TranceFix just a few days ago, when a member from the discussion group found this website and recommended the album "Aerium pres. Avalon 62 - Paracosm". I was truly amazed that trance of this kind could still be heard from a track released in 2022. I also saw the "TF Best of 2022" results and was shocked that there is actually a place where so many people who share the similar taste as mine are gathered (since there are far more people interested only in the mainstream trance than underground). So, I registered the account and would love to explore more about this website.

I have a dream of becoming a trance DJ & producer. However, considering that I am still busy in my studies, this dream may not come true in recent years. I genuinely hope that the trance genre can become a more diverse place, where "a hundred kinds of flowers bloom at one time, a hundred types of birds contend in singing" (Chinese saying, original text: 百花齐放, 百鸟争鸣; pinyin: bǎi huā qí fàng, bǎi niǎo zhēng míng).

Welcome aboard! 👋

Good to hear the TF label is getting attention around the world!

The producers forum could always use more people should you decide to take the plunge into making your own music :D

This was a great message to read. Really makes running this place satisfying when I see a like minded person from half-way round the world come and appreciate good music, especially stuff we released on TF. Welcome aboard. Hope you enjoy it here.

Welcome Sean Cong.

Hope you get to produce some Trance and get involved with the music producer sections here. All in good time tho as you are busy with studying.

On Trancefix you’ll likely discover some beautiful electronica you may not have heard before. I do and ive loved this music since the 1980s . It will lift you and probably help the studying. Boards of Canada, the ambient group once said… “Music is Math” ( which is a beautiful track by them)

Enjoy the discussions.
🤙

Apologies for disturbance, I am asking what conditions do I need to submit one of my sets to the TranceFix Radio.
I am currently planning a 3 hour set full of deep trance (JOOF, Forescape...) and high speed rave stuff (Oprofessionell, ...). I have arranged 2hrs already, but the last hour is extremely hard for me. The set is planned to be completed before Aug 2026. (not 2025)
I don't know in which platform may I submit my set to attract a wider audience, so I am here asking if TranceFix is a feasible choice.
I know TranceFix has a really high standard, so I would not feel any disappointed if TranceFIx rejects me.

I am not a producer yet, but I have already posted 5 one-hour sets since Aug 2024.
One of them is on Soundcloud, but other 4 is only available in Chinese platforms.
I only began my activity recently, so I'm quite new here. I would be glad if you could offer some advice.
Thanks!

Thank you!
I did not notice your reply back in time, and when I come back, your name just stood out as the producer behind "Flower", one of my top 50 tracks of 2024.
Also thank you for your advice, I am recently listening to Mikkel Rev's SINE06 and his "Journey Beyond" album.

Sean we could definetely be open for a radio show. When it comes to user mixes we typically want them from either a known producer/dj, or someone who is somewhat active already in the forum. Being active on the forum makes it much more appealing to release a radio episode, as the community knows you. That said, please send me a mix example, or an episode for consideration via direct message, and I can chat with the other admins and see what they say!

Thanks! I understood.
I may contact the admins in 2026 at the time I finish my set. And I will be more active from now on, since a friend of mine @NameLessYet has already became an active member here, and many topics are really worthy for discussion.
I am active in the Chinese platforms with more than 500 followers, but this forum is a different and new place, so it may take some time for me to get used to it. It was not until now did I turn the email subscriptions on to receive more info here.

Also, I am a member of the Pure Trance China team since 2024. And the Pure Trance label has received many tracks from Chinese producers (such as @Ishiro ) by our promotion. You can see it from the text "純粹傳思" at the bottom right corner on the cover of those Pure Trance releases.
