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)

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?
