Pounding Progressive and Full On Psychedelic Trance

Last year I did the first Trance Fusion mix. It earned the title as it seemed to cross over between several different sub-genres of trance. It was a favorite, especially among some close friends, and so when I gave this mix a second listen, it seemed to be a great follow up. The acid-breaks bring back memories of the warehouse days, before the parties were forced to become more legit. There’s definitely some progressive psychedelic influence, but in a way that should appeal to hard trance and tech trance fans too.

Trancendance Invades Synaptic Sandwich
Saturday Night Trance

When DJ Cyber asked me to fill in for him this week I was only too happy to jump at another chance to play loud trance this weekend. Synaptic Sandwich has been on-air even longer than Trancendance, filling the 9-11pm (PST) Saturday Night time slot on CiTR 101.9fm.

Tonight’s show got started about a half hour early at about 8:30 with some of Christopher Lawrence’s live set from Burning Man 2007. DJ Quake brought us across the 9 o’clock hour getting us warmed up for my live mix.

Love Parade Mix
A Moment of Psy-lence for the 2010 Love Parade Tragedy

This week’s show is dedicated to the friends and families of the 19 people who were trampled to death at the 2010 Love Parade in Germany.

Is it possible to to be deep and fullon at the same time? I tend to think of them as somewhat opposite, but this week’s show really seems to bridge the gap. Two new tracks worth mentioning are Black Jack by Mekkanikka and Nu Metro by Broken Toy.

I couldn’t get the second half of the Simon Qudos guest mix working, so the second half of the show features a BBC essential mix by Christopher Lawrence from 2004. Watch for the second half of my Simon Qudos guest mix in the coming weeks!

Trancendance invades Rainbow Groove

DJ BFad needed a fill-in for Rainbow Groove this week and I was able to snatch the opportunity. I’m sure my set was a bit harder than BFad’s crowd is used to, but I did try to funk it up a bit with some heavily remixed tracks by some pretty recognizable artists.
