Trancendance

Carl Cox has been my top influence since the first time I saw him play at Subconsious - an all night rave event that took place in the UBC hockey rinks before they stopped hosting such events. As a producer I'm not a huge fan of Carl and even his mixed CDs seem more Chicago House than I would ever listen to. But in the 3 times I've seen Carl Cox play on the West Coast his sets have been uber-brilliant - ... Read More

Here's this weeks Trancendance podcast. Smiley Mike starts off the night for the first hour and Caddyshack takes the second hour with several tracks and remixes by Blue Amazon. Then in our usual long-weekend fashion we extend the show with a two hour tag-team set. Thanks to Edward, Andrew and the other people that called in. Edward requested Children by Robert Miles and I just happened to have Tilt's version of Children and played it - third track into the set. Download this week's ... Read More

If you asked me as I was leaving the station on Sunday I would have said this was destined to be a great set. I even had hopes of adding it to the Featured Podcasts (in the sidebar). After a second listen however, the mixing is not as tight as I had hoped. Whatever. I had a blast in the studio this week. This week's mix is pretty diverse including a few classic trance anthems from Transa, Faster Kill off Paul Oakenfold's A ... Read More

This week's show is a little different than usual. It's continuous but not mixed and the tracks come from early rave compilation CDs. These are tracks that influenced me in my early rave days. Warning: This week's show contains coarse language!

This tag team set was three weeks in the making. Before you get too excited - that doesn't mean we spent three weeks practicing, rather it got posponed for three weeks before we managed to wing it at the last minute. Regardless of how hard I try to keep from growing up it seems inevitable and with that comes substantially less time devoted to mixing records. After waiting three weeks for the set it took another week (due to a bad cold) to ... Read More

DJ John Digweed Vancouver 2008 with Kevin Shiu Friday Sep 12, 2008 @ Celebrities Nightclub, Downtown, Vancouver Cost: $35 By: Blueprint Events John Digweed is not one of my favourite DJs but he is world class. Well known as half of Sasha & Digweed - the DJs behind the highly successful Northern Exposure CDs - John Digweed is a little too melodic for my taste which prefers a little more intensity. I have heard Digweed play once - with Sasha - at a huge party in ... Read More
