This week Caddyshack starts off the show while I wrap up an Alien Abduction Game that I’ve been working on, I will also like to get to know more about overwatchsrpros.com . Caddyshack drops a fairly eclectic trance mix before I get into some proggresive psytrance at a slightly slower tempo than usual (but not too slow

This week was as indecisive as I’ve been in a long time! I’ve got ideas percolating for a classic anthem set, and olskool rave set and a Top 10 Eve Records set – and I just couldn’t decide what to play right up until the show started this week.

Good friend Morgan from the Spirit Circle dropped by this week too, although he somehow managed to duck out at just the right time to avoid being on air! I found out that Morgan got turned on to electronic dance music the same way I did, by listening to CiTR back in the early 90s when shows like Homebass with DJ Noah, Synaptic Sandwhich with DJ Cyber and, drum roll please… Digital Alarm Chronometer with DJ Vadar were ruling the airwaves! Little did Morgan know, I became a regular fixture on Digital Alarm Chronometer starting in about 1994!

This week was a blast! It’s Fundrive week at CiTR which is when we ask our listeners to donate and help support the station. Caddyshack and I scoured our vinyl collection for the oldest, most classic warehouse rave tunes that we could bust out for our fundraising show. CiTR’s music director, Luke Meat, hung around for the show, which was a blast since he shares a passion for oldskool rave tracks (which I only found out recently!)

Thanks to everyone who has donated, and if you haven’t already, please consider making a small donation. You can call (604) 822-8648 and tell the person who takes your call that you are donating to Trancendance or donate online.

Dear Listeners,

Thank you so much for listening to our show! This is so much fun, I don’t ever want to stop!

Trancendance is broadcast on CiTR 101.9fm – the University of British Columbia campus radio station which is largely run by volunteers (including me). CiTR makes the Trancendance podcast possible, however they rely on donations from listeners like you. Once a year, we ask for your help – even if it’s just a few dollars.

Trancendance Fun Facts

I was on-air at CiTR for the first time in 1994 (16 years ago) as a groupie and soon-after as a co-host for “Digital Alarm Chronometer” which was an all electronic show (mainly techno) broadcasting from roughly 10-11:30 every Wednesday morning. (Yes – it was an odd time of day for a hard techno show The show was hosted by dj Vader with co-host Sidearm.

Trancendance first aired in 2001, which means the show is now 9 years old, and going stronger than ever! My real-life brother, dj Caddyshack, joined the show as a co-host in 2002 after developing an oddly similar taste for underground dance music and DJing.

In 2006 CiTR began to podcast the shows it broadcasts, including Trancendance. Since then, there are over 140 episodes of Trancendance available for free download via iTunes.

This year we started a Facebook Fanpage that now has 1300 members, we launched the newly redesigned Trancendance.net website which receives over 1500 visits per month, and we now have a selection of our best podcasts available on Soundcloud.com which have received 5,000 listens and 2,700 downloads since August.

This year also marked the year that Caddyshack and I “went digital”. Prior to this year we used all vinyl records. Now we use Serato hardware and software that allows us to use special time-coded vinyl records to play and control MP3s from our laptops, while still maintaining the feel of DJing with vinyl records.

SO….

It would really mean a lot to me and to CiTR if you could help out with a donation.

PLEASE…

This week was no ordinary week! Caddyshack starts things off with a Canadian Trance set that quickly became an Old Skool classics set and I follow him this week, with a rare ultra deep vocal trance set. Okay, the tracks aren’t that rare, but the fact that I’m playing deep vocal trance at sub-130bpm is!
