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)
Goa Pete Forest Psy-trance Mix
(Pete’s tracklist is super-secret)
After Pete’s set I played a few more tracks…
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.

So it sounds like I was long overdue getting Steve Krueger back in the studio. My how time flies. I kept looking over his shoulder during this set to see if he had boosted the tempo, because it just didn’t seem possible to bang this hard and still only be hovering around 132bpm. I might have to go record shopping now that I’ve had a peek at his tracklist.
