Just copy and paste it or using the share screen.


In other news I am in a conundrum. I don't know whether to do a certificate II in Building and Construction, Certificate III in Carpentry, or Certificate IV Building & Costruction and Certificate III in Locksmithing or Certificate II in Cabinet Making and Timber Technology,
Posts external link. Wont play on page. Or is there the option of that url pop down on the trancefix options, pretty sure I’ve tried it but will try again and make sure.

Finally, I am going home today, it's been almost a year since I started my master study in Denmark.

Next month, I will help to organise an event in Guangzhou China that invites Lostly, Super8 & Tab, EMBRZ, ALIGASH and more. Anything you want to ask them?
Good luck with the event 🙂. What kind of things do you mean when you say anything we would like to ask them? Cheers.

Can you please put on a great show? ;)
Thanks!

Anything, I think. Maybe some music things, or other random things, just something to chat with them when we are in the same car.

I really want to ask Lostly when his Way Back Home in Movement: One could be released, but I think it will be a little impolite, and the answer will be something like "Oh, I don't know either, it depends on Rob" haha.

That sounds really cool. Il give it some thought.

How long is the car journey? Are you accompanying all the DJ’s? Or just Lostly? Cheers 🙂

Someone asked me what I love the most about life a while back. I have given this some thought past few months and I must say I'm 100% certain it's trance. Nothing in this world makes me feel as alive as trance music does. Not sex, not food, not love, not money, nothing else. There is something about trance music that touches the deepest parts of my soul and it invokes so many feelings and emotions.

I've struggled with suicidal thoughts many times in my life and trance has always been my go to and I'm grateful for having discovered this genre of music. Yes I love many genres of music but none of them can hold a candle next to trance. No other genre is capable of inducing the same feelings and emotions that trance invokes in me. It's the one thing that kept me going in my darkest hours and days.

Sorry to hear youve been through that dude.

I have read research showing trance music can very positively affect mental health. During my hard times, I listened to it sometimes 6 hours a day. It was almost as essential as breath.

Just based on my own experience I'd say that research is correct. Do you know where I can find this research?

I saved a few articles that mention research plus opinion a while ago… this is them.

I don’t think a ‘huge’ scientific research has been conducted….. I need to reread them though as the first mentions a study by ‘frontiers in psychology’


The following 2are more opinion based I think.

Just got back from playing my fourth live set this year, and my first opener. Pretty sure I fucking crushed it, if I do say so myself - my friends and colleagues came out to see me, everyone said they loved my song selection, I knew the tracks well enough that they almost mixed themselves in a few places, got people dancing, it was a great time ☺️

Also - that club's owner said he has already selected me to play a "festival" (his words) during the August long weekend! Apparently the other DJs have to compete for slots, but he likes my sound enough that I'm pre-selected. So is it nepotism if it's real talent? 😎

I brought my Zoom recorder tonight, but I think it ran out of memory during the set, so I may rerecord it later. Tracklist below:

  • BT - Deep Fake
  • E-Spectro feat. Escenda - Choice (K.A.N Remix)
  • Maceo Plex & Gabriel Ananda - Solitary Daze
  • Art of Trance - Seven Sisters
  • Keyworth - Just Us
  • Holden & Thompson - Come to Me
  • Vibrasphere - Ensueño (Morning Mix)
  • 16BL feat. Lucy Iris - Stardust
  • Torsten Fassbender - Azureus
  • Airdraw - Feel Love (Allende Remix)
  • Tim Penner feat. Amber Long - Everything to Everyone (Gai Barone Remix)
  • Altair - Frozen Fire
  • Soliquid - Shibuya
  • Solid Stone & Jennifer Rene - Not Enough (Max Graham Remix)
  • Andre Sobota - Full Circle

Want to experience an ego death again on psilocybin. First time was scary af and eye opening and transformative all at the same time. The thing I'd do differently this time is integration of the experience into my conscious self. It took a very very high dose of psilocybin to have that experience and I'm dying to experience that ego death again.

It's very healing, deeply healing, on a mental and emotional level. I've battled depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts for a lot of my life. I've had a lot of negative thought patterns and would have difficulty containing my emotions. Since that ego death experience, all of that changed. My perspective on life shifted. Overall my life has improved. I've become more disciplined than I have ever been. I've made so many positive changes in my life that I can say I'm totally a different person since then and I'm still working on myself daily. I'm becoming the person I want to be am and meant to become.

Ego death is what most people describe as a bad trip but if you go into the experience with intention/purpose, it can be a life changing and altering experience.

Psilocybin is a very healing substance and I'm grateful to have gained a lot of insight from it.
