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.

Easter long weekend is just another excuse for an extended show! The first two hours is uninterrupted and journeys from PsyTrance into Hard Trance, then through some heavily remixed Trance Classics before weaving back into PsyTrance and then finishing with some more Hard Trance.

Just before the show this week I discovered two albums worth picking up. Usually I only like one or two tracks off an album, but these two are fantastic all the way through. The first feature album is “Love Machine” by a group called Save the Robot. Save the Robot is made up of Ari Linker (also known as Alien Project) and Ido Liran (also known as Quadra). It’s not surprising since I discovered Alien Project a few weeks ago after falling in love with their “Activation Portal” album, and along the way I found a few tracks by Quadra that were equally rich. I can only hope we see/hear more from these guys!

The second album featured is by non other than Quadra. After the first few tracks that caught my interest, IU went looking for more and found their “Voice of Reason” album. We live in the era of music download sites like iTunes and Track it Down, where you can pick and choose which songs you want for as low as 99 cents – so I know an album has to be exceptional when I fork out for the whole damn thing!

So I’m just the first third of this week’s mix. Caddyshack and Steve Krueger lay down breaks and deep trance sets to make it a 3 hour show this week. If you like the show, don’t just download – subscribe in iTunes – it looks good in the radio station stats!
