Trancendance

Well, it's definitely better than most of the shows in the past 6 months. I've had some good parts of shows but there always seems to be some considerable screw-up that keeps me from posting the mix in the sidebar as a featured podcast.  The first mix is likely the shakiest and as the show goes on it just gets better and better until the last 45 minutes are really solid.  The first half is more deep pulsing layered trance that slowly builds. The ... Read More

Lots of fresh trance this week although some of it was previewed last week. First half of the show went down much smoother than the second half. More vocal trance than I usually play, but several of these vocal tracks don't overdo it and they still have a rougher electro feel to them so they seem to satisfy my taste. Two of the new records that are already standing out to me are the Judge Jules and BK collaboration on Riot Recordings. ... Read More

Finally back at the station after a crazy December - this show goes out to Steve Clark. A good friend, a brother in fact - Steve and I met at the legendary 1999 Spirit Circle gathering in Pemberton. Steve was up on Blackcomb mountain for New Year's Eve and an avalanche got him. You'll always be with us in spirit Steve.  Quite a few new records this week... One other thing I forgot to mention - the Trancendance Podcast is now available straight from ... Read More

Well, after I suggested that I wouldn't be missing any shows over the Christmas Holidays - here we are with a three week gap. I tried to get out to the studio last night but there's just too much snow here in Vancouver and we're not equipped to handle it.  I have a bag full of new trance records after finding a crazy sale with Trance Records going for $1 each! I have new AKG K181 headphones which I absolutely love - they ... Read More

Wow, I'm super behind again this week. Sorry - and thanks for putting up with my sometimes slow updates. Hopefully this will help you make it through the next week too since neither myself nor Caddyshack will be able to host the show this Sunday.  This week's podcast features several of the same classic trance records as last week but I've tried to mix it up and play some b-sides to keep it interesting. At the very end of the second half there's ... Read More

Sorry I missed last week's show. This week was going to be a remix of three weeks ago but at the 11th hour I started pulling out records and the set seemed to be taking a more classic trance anthem feel. I've always had a handful of records that are brilliant but seemingly impossible to mix. This week I brought 5 or 6 of them and overall things didn't go to badly. The first mix was a little forced but then things ... Read More

This week's show is part one of two annual funding drive shows to help support CiTR. CiTR is a campus radio station run by voulanteer DJs and supported by the students at UBC and our listeners. We feature diverse programming that you just don't hear on commercial radio stations and the station needs your support to help it run smoothly. Funds go to things like bigger better podcasting servers and studio equipment. The station is even talking about investing in Serato which ... Read More

We're still catching up after falling a little behind. Here is last week's set. First hour is hard electro trance by dj Smiley Mike and in the second half dj Caddyshack goes K2 trance. At least that's how I describe it? Have you ever listened to the soundtrack to the mountain climbing movie K2? It's epic! Download this (last) week's Hard Trance Podcast Read More

I'm way behind in posting the podcasts but I have a great reason. I made a girl! No.. not met.. I made a new tiny little girl named Skylar! She was born on Oct 20, in fact Barbalicious told me she was in labour as soon as I got back from doing the show. Can you believe it? She waited until I finished the show! It was a hard trance week and Caddyshack showed up unexpectedly (at least I think I have my ... Read More
