This week marked yet another prediction for the end of the world. It seemed fitting to feature some tracks from the Circle of Life EP by Ephedrix in the midst of a heart-pounding Full On psychedelic trance mix.

Before the live mix part of the show, I played:

dj Tso Goa Dreams Volume 7

dj Tso started off the overnight mix.

You can find more from dj Tso on Soundcloud.

This week’s mix got started with a track recommended by Nikki Sentience: The Liquid Sould remix of Galactic Mantra by Ovnimoon. Truly a psychedelic intro, if ever there was one. The rest of the inspiration came from DJ Tso, whose mix: Goa Dreams Volume 4 turned me on to the group Suntree.

I was a bit disappointed with the mix at first, but on second listen, most of it is actually pretty good with only one or two major goofs near the end. Considering everything I played was brand new and mixed entirely on-the-fly, it came out not bad.

For almost 10 years Trancendance has brought you nearly all subgenres of trance music, continuously mixed for the most part. When we do venture a little outside the trance umbrella, it’s typically in the direction of breaks. This week’s show is all breakbeat! And while Caddyshack has dabbled in the dubstep, this was my first kick. This show is sick. I mean, you really gotta listen to it. It’s just that freakin’ good!

Mad Maxx played at Organix on Friday and after looking through some of my recent podcasts, I was surprised that I hadn’t played more Mad Maxx given that I have quite a few of his tracks and generally love his stuff. This week I picked up a few newer Mad Maxx tracks, dug up some of his older stuff and put together a Full On Psytrance set that hopefully does him proud. Still a long way off from the live set he delivered on Friday, but Max sets the bar pretty high as a long-time leading name in hard psychedelic trance.

Steve Kreuger Eclectic Mix

I always have the hardest time describing other people’s sets as the connection to the music isn’t quite as intimate. And Steve plays such an eclectic mix that I’m not always sure how to classify it. Some of it is a little housey, some of it is trancey and some of it seems almost a bit technoey. (Spell check is giving me a hard time there, but I think you get what I mean.) If you really want to know what I’m talking about, give Steve’s set a listen and then let me know how you would classify the style.
