I spent the previous week digitizing some old vinyl tracks, and there are some killer records in my set that you just can’t find in the digital stores, or even on YouTube. But those old tracks tend to drift a lot more and keeping the beats lined up is a lot tougher, especially after you’ve (I’ve) gotten used to today’s tight digital productions.

The real killer set this week is from Steve Krueger who lays down a thumpin’ trance mix that is a must hear. Plus, there’s a special set from DJ Zero D. Special thanks to the Vancouver Trance Family!

My apologies, but I think the last few tracks of Zero D’s set got cut off from the end of the podcast. You can find his full set available for download along with some others on the Zero Disbelief website.

Well, it’s definitely better than most of the shows in the past 6 months. I’ve had some good parts of shows but there always seems to be some considerable screw-up that keeps me from posting the mix in the sidebar as a featured podcast.

The first mix is likely the shakiest and as the show goes on it just gets better and better until the last 45 minutes are really solid.

The first half is more deep pulsing layered trance that slowly builds. The second half is a little harder and a little more epic with some big ups and downs and several trance anthem remixes from over the years.

Lots of fresh trance this week although some of it was previewed last week. First half of the show went down much smoother than the second half. More vocal trance than I usually play, but several of these vocal tracks don’t overdo it and they still have a rougher electro feel to them so they seem to satisfy my taste. Two of the new records that are already standing out to me are the Judge Jules and BK collaboration on Riot Recordings. You might recognize BK from some of the Nukleuz tracks I play in the Hard Trance sets. The other is the Peter Luts Remix of Inspiration.
