So we just got back from the Sander van Doorn show at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Last week it was the Benny Benassi show, but it was really Sander’s show. Electro House isn’t something we play a lot of, but Sander’s set was so good, we figured we dig up some of the tracks he played and see what happens. One of the funniest things I noticed, is that half of these Electro HOUSE tracks are remixed TRANCE tracks! Trance. FTW.

Wow – I was rummaging through old mix tapes, which lead me to look up a tracklist of an old skool trance and breakbeat mixtape by Kid Bippy – circa 1995. That lead me looking up some of the tracks on YouTube and that planted the seed for this week’s ultimate throwback old skool trance mix.

There are a few bumps along the way – such as the first mix or two – but get past that and get into some super long mixes of some of the most recognizable trance anthems of the early 90s. Did people even call them anthems back then?

Another smashing week with an extended 3hr show! This week my set features remixes of classic trance anthems and trance mash-ups that should send shivers down your spine and leave your whole body tingling! I’ve always liked the heavy remixes and mash-ups, but often they’re on the lighter side. Not this set! At 145bpm it’s an epic PsyTrance set not to be missed! Tell your friends!

During the second half of the show, after his excursion into Drum & Bass, Caddyshack returns to trance with an Epic Trance mix that combines both new and old favourites.
