It’s been week’s and week’s since I posted a tracklist! The show goes on, but the last four or five weeks are iTunes only. Not because the shows haven’t been good, actually they’ve been quite good, but life has been busy so I’ve only been doing the bare minimum.

In the last couple week’s I’ve been inspired to dig out some of my old classic trance anthems and mix them in with some deep trance. This set was recorded just a day or two after last week’s show and I happened to be recording it. It just happened to be Caddyshack’s birthday too, so a birthday mixtape it is!

Deep and Remixed Classic Trance Anthems:

Space Manoeuvres – Part Three (Breaks Mix)
Space Manoeuvres – Stage One (Markus Schulz Dark Star Mix)
Habersham & Numinous – Rhetorical Question (Chris Micali Remix)
Mike Hiratzka & Justin Scott Dixon – Two Worlds
Space Manoeuvres – Stage One (Leama & Andy Moor Remix)
Pryda – Illusions
Pryda – Glimma
Union Jack – Papillon
Dune – Boomerang (Quivver Version)
Space Manoeuvres – Stage One (Pariah Shadow Lounging Mix)
Space Manoeuvres – Stage One (Space Manoeuvres’ Total Separation Mix)
Paul van Dyk – For an Angel (PvD Remix ’09)
Rank 1 & Jochen Miller – The Great Escape (Extended)
Nicholas Bennison – New Power
Art of Trance – Easter Island (Cygnus-X Remix)

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!

Wow – I was rummaging through old mix tapes, which lead me to look up a tracklist of an old skool trance and breakbeat mixtape by Kid Bippy – circa 1995. That lead me looking up some of the tracks on YouTube and that planted the seed for this week’s ultimate throwback old skool trance mix.

There are a few bumps along the way – such as the first mix or two – but get past that and get into some super long mixes of some of the most recognizable trance anthems of the early 90s. Did people even call them anthems back then?

This week’s show is dedicated to the friends and families of the 19 people who were trampled to death at the 2010 Love Parade in Germany.

Is it possible to to be deep and fullon at the same time? I tend to think of them as somewhat opposite, but this week’s show really seems to bridge the gap. Two new tracks worth mentioning are Black Jack by Mekkanikka and Nu Metro by Broken Toy.

I couldn’t get the second half of the Simon Qudos guest mix working, so the second half of the show features a BBC essential mix by Christopher Lawrence from 2004. Watch for the second half of my Simon Qudos guest mix in the coming weeks!
