This week was no ordinary week! Caddyshack starts things off with a Canadian Trance set that quickly became an Old Skool classics set and I follow him this week, with a rare ultra deep vocal trance set. Okay, the tracks aren’t that rare, but the fact that I’m playing deep vocal trance at sub-130bpm is!

Dose Presents Life Force
New Years Eve Rave 1995
I was digging through my collection of old mixtapes this week and found this gem, recorded from a Dose Productions rave here in Vancouver on New Years Eve 1995 featuring live sets from DJ Vitamin E and DJ Lace. These mixes are likely to be available only for a limited time, so grab them while you can!
You can find them on the dj Smiley Mike Soundcloud profile.
Wow, after a terrible experience on Saturday trying to mix with CDJs, it felt great to lay down a killer epic journey for tonight’s podcast. It’s got the melodic and uplifting breakdowns, some stomping hard beats that deliver when they’re supposed to, and some throwback remixes of some classic trance anthems including I Feel Love by CRW and a remix of Urban Hype’s A Trip to Trumpton by Toryn D. This is the set inspired by the Spirit of Squamish where the circle once again returned to gather on Saturday. It was so good to see so many old friends and, as always, make a few new ones too!

I couldn’t wait for this week’s show after being forced to take last week off! You guys have been asking for a fix of dark psytrance and this week’s set delivers. As usual it’s mixed with a fairly deep and twisted selection of fullon psy. I also discovered a great EP by Planewalker titled Psychic Evolution, which is available for free download at Ektoplasm. It’s a killer mix of breakbeat and psychedelic trance which seems to be shaping a relatively new sub-genre called psybreaks. While still a relatively young sub-sub-genre of trance, I could see more artists like Planewalker and Dapanji creating a pretty popular fusion between the already popular psytrance and breakbeat sub-genres.
Caddyshack drops some new tracks in his set this week too, including a new Nick Sentience remix of Edison Factor and a killer Organ Donors remix of Adapter by Scott Attrill. Another track worth mentioning for Hard Acid Trance fans is Andy Farley & Base Graffiti – No More. Base Graffiti is one of those names I don’t see too often, but it always catches my attention when one of their tracks get’s played.

There’s a glitch in the first 5 minutes or so, but once you skip past that – this week’s show should not be missed! Possibly my best Hard Trance Mix ever, this may turn into my latest demo mix. New and old smashing tracks and a few that have been given the Smiley Mike touch – guaranteeing that you won’t hear a set quite like this anywhere else in the world!
For those who are curious – these are digital tracks mixed live using Serato with vinyl control records.
