Last year I did the first Trance Fusion mix. It earned the title as it seemed to cross over between several different sub-genres of trance. It was a favorite, especially among some close friends, and so when I gave this mix a second listen, it seemed to be a great follow up. The acid-breaks bring back memories of the warehouse days, before the parties were forced to become more legit. There’s definitely some progressive psychedelic influence, but in a way that should appeal to hard trance and tech trance fans too.

I spent the previous week digitizing some old vinyl tracks, and there are some killer records in my set that you just can’t find in the digital stores, or even on YouTube. But those old tracks tend to drift a lot more and keeping the beats lined up is a lot tougher, especially after you’ve (I’ve) gotten used to today’s tight digital productions.

The real killer set this week is from Steve Krueger who lays down a thumpin’ trance mix that is a must hear. Plus, there’s a special set from DJ Zero D. Special thanks to the Vancouver Trance Family!

My apologies, but I think the last few tracks of Zero D’s set got cut off from the end of the podcast. You can find his full set available for download along with some others on the Zero Disbelief website.

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!)

This week dj Smiley Mike slows it down for a deep trance mix while dj Caddyshack gets inspired by David Guetta’s recent appearance in Vancouver, and touches on all four corners of trance from the borderline house sounds of Nalin & Kane’s Beachball to the ripping acid sounds of I am Techno by TV Rock.
