I played Full On psytrance and it’s a good set, but Caddyshack’s set this week is freakin’ mind blowing!

This week I discovered a group named Psy Craft (or Psycraft), which seem to have an awesome blend of full on vocal psytrance. I also played some borderline psychedelic thrash metal by Mystical Complex. Together it made for a pretty diverse range of psychedelic mayhem.

Caddyshack however managed to dig up some of the best trance anthem mashups that I’ve heard in ages, and wove them together into a masterful set. Do NOT miss his set! The music only version is available for free download from his Soundcloud account (for a limited time).

I was really struggling to find a direction for this week’s set. I’m pretty sure I’ve been fighting off a cold and it seems like my head was just scattered. As it turns out, my opening set was going quite well, right up until the last track. All too often I make the decision to play “just one more”, and all too often it’s that last track that just doesn’t quite fit. If I’d listened to that quiet voice in the back of my head, I probably could have anticipated that it just wasn’t quite going to work… but some people are better listeners than others

So I started going through my vinyl collection yesterday. I used to do it all the time. Now it only happens once a year, if that. Anyways, I came across a ton of rare white labels and test pressings, started looking up tracks on discogs and seeing if anything was available on iTunes. There were lots of bootlegs and test pressings that just aren’t available from the digital stores, but it inspired this trance anthem mix.

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!)

After many weeks of PsyTrance and a few weeks of talking about a new deep trance mix, Smiley Mike finally delivers with a mix of new and old tracks including deep trance, uplifting trance (or epic trance as I like to call it) and even a few vocal trance trax.

Caddyshack follows up with some uplifting vocal trance of his own, but his set, and the entire show – is cut about 10 minutes short after security guards walk into the studio and inform us that we have to leave the UBC Student Union Building immediately due to a bomb threat. (I’m not sure who makes a threat on a nearly empty building at close to midnight on a Sunday – but that’s how it went down!)
