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!

Caddyshack really steals the show this week! It’s been awhile since he played a Drum and Bass set and it put a huge smile on my face as soon as he dropped the first track. Don’t miss his mix in the second part of the show that seems to slide back and forth between Drum and Bass and Jungle.

I wasn’t sure how my set turned out this week. I switched it up after being in the psychedelic zone for the past few weeks, and to be quite honest, I barely listened to any of the tracks in this week’s set before the show. A lot of the magic is in the tracks themselves this week. Most of my set features hard trance sounds with the twist of having unique breakdowns that include everything from phat almost crunky beats, to the killer bootleg remix by Organ Donors (what is that from?)

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?
