Old Skool Trance meets New Skool Deep Vocal Trance

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!

Mad Maxx Fullon Psytrance Tribute

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.

La Roux – In for the Kill (Michael Woods Remix)
Cirez D – The Tumble

The Ignition Mix
Steve Krueger and Ignite Digital

A fantastic Yin and Yang show this week with special guest Steve Krueger in the studio to start things off with a groovy trance set.

The second half of the show picks up the pace with a hard acid trance set featuring two brand new promo tracks from Ignite Digital – Future Manipulation by Burak Harsitlioglu and Alternative by On NRG. Both tracks will appear on the forthcoming Zest album from Ignite Digital, mixed by Simon Qudos (another of my current faves). On NRG caught my attention a few weeks back when I included the track On Stars in The Burning Man Mix (which seems to be quite a popular mix).

Enjoy this week’s show and, if you haven’t yet, take a minute to join the Trancendance Fan Page on Facebook.

Dose Presents Life Force
New Years Eve Rave 1995

I was digging through my collection of old mixtapes this week and found this gem, recorded from a Dose Productions rave here in Vancouver on New Years Eve 1995 featuring live sets from DJ Vitamin E and DJ Lace. These mixes are likely to be available only for a limited time, so grab them while you can!

You can find them on the dj Smiley Mike Soundcloud profile.

Spirit of Squamish Mix
Killer Epic Trance Mix

Wow, after a terrible experience on Saturday trying to mix with CDJs, it felt great to lay down a killer epic journey for tonight’s podcast. It’s got the melodic and uplifting breakdowns, some stomping hard beats that deliver when they’re supposed to, and some throwback remixes of some classic trance anthems including I Feel Love by CRW and a remix of Urban Hype’s A Trip to Trumpton by Toryn D. This is the set inspired by the Spirit of Squamish where the circle once again returned to gather on Saturday. It was so good to see so many old friends and, as always, make a few new ones too!
