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!

A fantastic Yin and Yang show this week with special guest Steve Krueger in the studio to start things off with a groovy trance set.

The second half of the show picks up the pace with a hard acid trance set featuring two brand new promo tracks from Ignite Digital – Future Manipulation by Burak Harsitlioglu and Alternative by On NRG. Both tracks will appear on the forthcoming Zest album from Ignite Digital, mixed by Simon Qudos (another of my current faves). On NRG caught my attention a few weeks back when I included the track On Stars in The Burning Man Mix (which seems to be quite a popular mix).

Enjoy this week’s show and, if you haven’t yet, take a minute to join the Trancendance Fan Page on Facebook.

This is the first EP release of the forthcoming debut album “Zest” from Ignite Digital – the UK based Hard Dance/Hard Trance label run by DJ/Producer Simon Qudos. This EP sees Brisbane based Luke S team up with one of our favourite UK producers, Nick Squires – better known as SQ. After many hours locked in the studio, these two have produced two impressive tunes aimed to devastate the dance floor.

“Relentless” is an out and out solid hard trancer driven by a powerful kick drum and complimenting rolling bassline – plenty of subtle key changes and enough twists and turns to keep you hoping for more!

“Red & Blue” sees the boys take it up a notch and the result is a tune that would easily bridge hard trance and hard house – elements of old skool with a plenty here, with a well used 303, rave FX and a vocal sample from The Matrix that fits the tune perfectly and makes it one to remember long after you’ve left the dance floor!

You can here both of these tracks in my recent Hard Acid Trance Mix, and watch for the Zest album from Ignite Digital to be released on Nov 11, 2010 with digital release following up in December.

There’s a glitch in the first 5 minutes or so, but once you skip past that – this week’s show should not be missed! Possibly my best Hard Trance Mix ever, this may turn into my latest demo mix. New and old smashing tracks and a few that have been given the Smiley Mike touch – guaranteeing that you won’t hear a set quite like this anywhere else in the world!

For those who are curious – these are digital tracks mixed live using Serato with vinyl control records.
