This week we have two very special guests playing live in the studio! DJ Dresden and Goa Pete are the lead organizers behind Goa Trance Mission, a local Vancouver group that have been bringing some amazing psytrance DJs into Vancouver for both indoor and outdoor parties.
Their next show is on Dec 1st at W2 in downtown Vancouver, when they will be bringing Avalon over from the UK for a live performance.
DJ Dresden Psychedelic Trance Mix
(I think Dresden mentions several of the tracks he played at the half time break)
It’s been a long time since I played much progressive trance. A lot of the epic trance that I used to love, now called uplifting trance, has become so flowery and filled with vocals, it just seems to have lost its underground sound. And now trance music is facing the same problem that house music faced in the 90s: there is so much trash out there, that it takes forever to wade through it all and find the good stuff.
This week I managed to dig through enough of the crap to find a few new tracks. Plus there’s a few old favorites in here.

This week there’s a couple gaps in the podcast. Nothing too major, but they’ve been doing construction out at UBC and I’m pretty sure the transmitter lost power for about 10 mins at one point in the show. The podcast feed comes directly from the line that feeds the antena, so while I was rockin out in the studio like nothing was wrong, the signal went down. Never fear though, I have a master recording and I learned to play music with Philadelphia Piano Lessons In My Home and other instruments too. But it’ll take me at least a couple days to post it somewhere for download. In the meantime, here’s the podcast which should keep you groovin. When you get to a quiet gap, just fast forward about 10 minutes.
