I didn’t prep at all for this show, and my set turned out great! Funny how that happens. I play second after Caddyshack this week. If I recall correctly, Caddyshack plays epic trance and then my set is all full on psychedelic – some of my fave tracks.

I have no idea what Caddyshack played… I did n’t write anything down that week. Luckily, serato keeps a record of everything I play.

For almost 10 years Trancendance has brought you nearly all subgenres of trance music, continuously mixed for the most part. When we do venture a little outside the trance umbrella, it’s typically in the direction of breaks. This week’s show is all breakbeat! And while Caddyshack has dabbled in the dubstep, this was my first kick. This show is sick. I mean, you really gotta listen to it. It’s just that freakin’ good!

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!

Space Manoeuvres – Part Three (Breaks Mix)
Space Manoeuvres – Stage One (Markus Schulz Dark Star Mix)
Habersham & Numinous – Rhetorical Question (Chris Micali Remix)

Union Jack – Papillon
Dune – Boomerang (Quivver Version)

Rank 1 & Jochen Miller – The Great Escape (Extended)
Nicholas Bennison – New Power
Art of Trance – Easter Island (Cygnus-X Remix)

Caddyshack really steals the show this week! It’s been awhile since he played a Drum and Bass set and it put a huge smile on my face as soon as he dropped the first track. Don’t miss his mix in the second part of the show that seems to slide back and forth between Drum and Bass and Jungle.

I wasn’t sure how my set turned out this week. I switched it up after being in the psychedelic zone for the past few weeks, and to be quite honest, I barely listened to any of the tracks in this week’s set before the show. A lot of the magic is in the tracks themselves this week. Most of my set features hard trance sounds with the twist of having unique breakdowns that include everything from phat almost crunky beats, to the killer bootleg remix by Organ Donors (what is that from?)

Last year was a big year for Trancendance and 2011 is already starting strong. After dabbling with a few bootleg remixes last year, this just might be the year that dj Smiley Mike remixes make the rounds. One of the advantages I have, is that I’m really not in it for the money, and since I don’t need to worry about licensing, I can concentrate on bootleg remixes and mashups that would never get licensed. Fun times!

So I’ve been working on a Platipus mix set after it was requested a couple times via the Facebook page. I started with a bootleg mix of Tranquil by Quietman and was just getting ready for a bootleg remix of Calling Your Name by Libra & Taylor when I had to put the Platipus mix on hold. I had agreed to do a collaboration mix with DJ D.Project from the Netherlands and he gave me his part of the mix last week (which is freakin’ amazing!) and so I’ve been trying to find tracks that will live up to the massive stompers that he’s started with (I think I found some So watch for our collaboration mix to appear soon…

But I even had to put the collaboration mix on hold so I could put this set together for you tonight! Give it a listen, and if you like it, please subscribe to our iTunes podcast!
