This week’s show is killer! After a few weeks of less “full on” trance, this set is full of hard, ripping psychedelic trance. Caddyshack defies the genre boundaries again with a mix of trance, breakbeat and dubstep. This is definitely one to throw on the iPod!

The sunshine seems to be missing this summer. What better reason to hang out with some lasers and bass-bins behind the decks at your favourite local club.

The Internet feed was down this week, and I thought I had lost the whole podcast, but after a little digging and a little pixie dust, here we go! (And it’s a good one, so find an excuse to be home alone and crank the volume right up to the top!)

Last year was a big year for Trancendance and 2011 is already starting strong. After dabbling with a few bootleg remixes last year, this just might be the year that dj Smiley Mike remixes make the rounds. One of the advantages I have, is that I’m really not in it for the money, and since I don’t need to worry about licensing, I can concentrate on bootleg remixes and mashups that would never get licensed. Fun times!

So I’ve been working on a Platipus mix set after it was requested a couple times via the Facebook page. I started with a bootleg mix of Tranquil by Quietman and was just getting ready for a bootleg remix of Calling Your Name by Libra & Taylor when I had to put the Platipus mix on hold. I had agreed to do a collaboration mix with DJ D.Project from the Netherlands and he gave me his part of the mix last week (which is freakin’ amazing!) and so I’ve been trying to find tracks that will live up to the massive stompers that he’s started with (I think I found some So watch for our collaboration mix to appear soon…

But I even had to put the collaboration mix on hold so I could put this set together for you tonight! Give it a listen, and if you like it, please subscribe to our iTunes podcast!

My set from this week is still untitled. It must be a bit early for the creative juices to be flowing.

Some weeks when I go looking for music, it seems like I have to listen to 100 tracks to find 1 or 2 good ones, but this week it seems like everything I listened to was brilliant! What started off as a tribute to Mekkanikka (who will be playing live at Organix (Club 23 West) in Vancouver next Friday, soon grew to include new music from Laughing Buddha, a new artist I’d never heard of before named Triptych, new tracks from TIP World and another new group named Mesmerizer. This week’s set is VERY psychedelic.

For the second half of the show, Caddyshack brought out some updated Union Jack sounds (a personal fave) as well as some mashed up classics. I could admit I didn’t write down his setlist because I was chatting with our studio guest, Jay (really glad you came by!), but it’s way more fun to just say Caddyshack’s set is top secret – like back in the day when DJs would be pretty reluctant to tell you what tracks they were playing

Mad Maxx played at Organix on Friday and after looking through some of my recent podcasts, I was surprised that I hadn’t played more Mad Maxx given that I have quite a few of his tracks and generally love his stuff. This week I picked up a few newer Mad Maxx tracks, dug up some of his older stuff and put together a Full On Psytrance set that hopefully does him proud. Still a long way off from the live set he delivered on Friday, but Max sets the bar pretty high as a long-time leading name in hard psychedelic trance.

Steve Kreuger Eclectic Mix

I always have the hardest time describing other people’s sets as the connection to the music isn’t quite as intimate. And Steve plays such an eclectic mix that I’m not always sure how to classify it. Some of it is a little housey, some of it is trancey and some of it seems almost a bit technoey. (Spell check is giving me a hard time there, but I think you get what I mean.) If you really want to know what I’m talking about, give Steve’s set a listen and then let me know how you would classify the style.
