    Interview TF Interview - Catch up with Super-Frog Saves Tokyo

    If you’ve ever gone down a YouTube rabbit hole of early ’90s trance — clicking through random uploads — or, better yet, wandered into a record shop back in the day and played a few mystery vinyls, you’ll know what it’s like to drop the needle on a Super-Frog Saves Tokyo track. You never quite...

    Rank your favourite Gaia tracks!

    I don't know why, but lately I found myself revisiting Gaia tracks - stuff like J'ai Envie de Toi was one of my first points of contact with trance in 2012 and I naturally loved it. But tastes evolve, so would be interesting to see how you would rank them now - especially since a lot of time...

    Underworld @ Boiler Room: London

    What a bunch of legends. I hope to have at least 10% of their energy and enthusiasm in my late 60s. Great set, great performance.

    Junkie XL Appreciation Thread

    Will be sharing some of my favourite Junkie XL stuff here and there, but curious to see if you guys also have some non-obvious works from him that you regard as great. Just watched this, crazy energy here.

    Junkie XL - Red/Heat [2001]

    Fantastic find. Surely one of his best? For me Heat takes the cake, but Red is also quite good. Interestingly, Heat contains the sample from the movie Batman - one movie which, a decade later, Junkie XL will also provide score for (The Dark Knight Rises).

    Schiller mit Heppner - Leben... I Feel You [2003]

    I'll never stop loving this track. I loved it since the first time I heard it. I see it's labeled as trance on Wikipedia of all places. IMO the best mix is this one, so nice, slow and subtle. Singing through the nose by Heppner also adds a specific, nostalgic, sad mood to this. Just perfection...

    Modular Synthesis

    Just wanted to create a discussion where we could share thoughts on modular synthesis, and share some performances, favourite works etc. It's endlessly fascinating for me, what possibilities it brings. The idea came from this video, released yesterday by the legend himself, Junkie XL, where he...

    Underworld - denver luna [Smith Hyde Productions]

    Can hear some Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream of Love influences. Loving the track. How did we miss this?

    Nico Parisi vs Erik Hubo - Metro [2006]

    Found this on ASOT Classics 7. It was the last track, but one of the few I absolutely loved from it. The compilation, and this track, certainly made me discover, fall in love with, and start exploring classic trance. I've never looked back. I love how simple this one is. A simple riff, a groovy...

    Incolumis - At the Gates/North Stone [2004]

    Some absolutely fantastic dark moody trance and techno from Incolumis!!! North Stone is incredible...just let it play and take you places. 2004 at its best. At the Gates is a proper monster, rocks so hard! North Stone At the Gates

    Laurent Garnier - A Bout De Souffle EP [1993]

    Not yet sure how we feel about posting something that's more techno than trance, but this EP is so insanely good that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share. Co-produced with Ludovic Navarre. Both are awesome, but Breathless wins it for me...

    Arksun - Dragonfire [2000]

    Another phenomenal track from Arksun. What a producer, what a track! In love with his sound. There is also an Austin Leeds remix, but it pales in comparison so I won't even bother with posting it.

    808 State - Invader (incl. Vegas Soul Remixes) [1999]

    I don't often post here, but when I do, it's almost always a random brilliant YouTube recommendation. Vegas Soul (Chris Cowie) remixes are brilliant. Prefer Two. 808 State - Invader (Vegas Soul Remix Two) [also known as Chris Cowie - Invader] 808 State - Invader (Vegas Soul Remix One) 808...

    Nail - Volterage [1994]

    Quite a rare beauty, barely any info on it. It appears on one '94 release from Nail, but on other versions it's just not there. Lovely, soothing early trance. Also known (probably more correctly) as Eric Heyday.

    Music Quality in the Upcoming Releases Section

    Let's discuss what's happening in the UR section. Some of you complained about the lack of quality in the Upcoming Releases section, and some of you defended the music being posted there. It resulted in every other thread being populated with the same arguments, so this is mainly to move the...

    TranceFix App (PWA)

    Hey all! Not sure if you know this, but you can install TranceFix as an app! You can't find it in the app stores though, because it's a Progressive Web App. It's basically a site that can be installable as an app from the browser. The advantages are that it is accessible from the app screen...

    Travelling

    Talk about your past, present or future trips! Where do/would you like to go, what do/would you like to see...the questions are endless. Pics, of course, are a must. I myself am going on a rafting trip next Thursday. One day of rafting in the Tara river, one day of off-roading and hiking in...

    OUT Reflex Blue - Positive Nature LP [Whitvoir]

    Just took a listen to this one today while driving...absolutely loved it!!! One of the albums of the year, currently sharing the #1 spot with Electronic Arts by Sleep D. Wonderful ode to the 90s. All tracks are awesome, but I'll rank my favourites: 4. Overview Effect 3. Paradigm Shift 2...

    Underworld - Juanita : Kiteless : To Dream of Love [1996]

    It was originally released in 1996 as the first track of their album Second Toughest in the Infants, but I'm singling this one (or three) out since this is my favourite. The single release was in 1997, and there was one EP in 1996 together with Rowla. Doesn't matter. Is this trance? I don't...

    OUT Airwave - An Exceptionally Hot Day EP [Sciabada]

    Something more suited to Airwave's talent. This is more like a soundtrack, but generally liking the moods here. It's enjoyable.
