We're still catching up after falling a little behind. Here is last week's set. First hour is hard electro trance by dj Smiley Mike and in the second half dj Caddyshack goes K2 trance. At least that's how I describe it? Have you ever listened to the soundtrack to the mountain climbing movie K2? It's epic! Download this (last) week's Hard Trance Podcast Read More

I'm way behind in posting the podcasts but I have a great reason. I made a girl! No.. not met.. I made a new tiny little girl named Skylar! She was born on Oct 20, in fact Barbalicious told me she was in labour as soon as I got back from doing the show. Can you believe it? She waited until I finished the show! It was a hard trance week and Caddyshack showed up unexpectedly (at least I think I have my ... Read More

This tag team set was three weeks in the making. Before you get too excited - that doesn't mean we spent three weeks practicing, rather it got posponed for three weeks before we managed to wing it at the last minute. Regardless of how hard I try to keep from growing up it seems inevitable and with that comes substantially less time devoted to mixing records. After waiting three weeks for the set it took another week (due to a bad cold) to ... Read More

Sorry about the delay in posting this week's podcast. There was a glitch with the podcast server but it's fixed so this week's show is ready for download. This week Caddyshack and I were going to play a Nukleuz Records tag team set but we've postponed that until next week (Sep 14). In it's place this week's set is filled with tracks off the brilliant intelligent hard trance label WellWicked as well as the complex layered trance of Noom Records. Download this week's Trance ...

This is supposedly the last Nukleuz Records set for awhile. I don't know if I can stick to my promise or not. I don't want to subject you guys to the same tracks week after week, but after giving the first hour a second listen this morning I was pleasantly surprised. There's a lot of decent mixing in the first hour (I'm a perfectionist so you won't often hear me praise my own mixing) but I was pretty disheartened after the first ... Read More

This week's Trancendance podcast is a full 2 hours of Nukleuz records mostly featuring the handiwork of Hard Trance genius Nick Sentience. It's not a perfect set but it felt like there were more good parts than bad parts. It might not make it into the featured podcasts widget but I say it's worth a listen. One of my complaints has always been that it's hard to find DJ mix CDs (back then it was mix tapes) that captured the high energy non-stop ... Read More

The first hour of this weeks podcast is almost entirely from the Nukleuz record label with the one exception being a Nick Sentience record from Riot Recordings. Nick Sentience is one of my favourite trance artists from the Nukleuz label and many of the Nukleuz tracks played in the first hour feature him.  The second hour isn't as smooth but it's still not hard to listen to. The second hour features more layered trance with some tribal influence.  Download the Nukleuz Trance Mix Read More

What better gift for Father DJ than a trip to the record store. After starting a family I've been spending a lot less on records, but the owner at the record store still remembers me as his best Trance customer. I buy almost all my vinyl second hand. I believe if a track is really worth owning it should be timeless.  After listening to a stack of about 75 trance records - 3 made the cut and came home to be added to ... Read More

Eve Records has been one of my favorite record labels for over a decade. Many of their early releases have a harder, faster sound than many of todays melodic anthems, but trance was harder back then.  UK record label Eve Records was founded by Stefano Lo Presti and Pablo Gargano in 1995 and quickly became a well-known, well-respected and well-recognized underground trance label. The label was conceived as a means of distributing various works by Pablo Gargano who masterminded many of the earlier ... Read More
