Sorry I missed last week’s show. This week was going to be a remix of three weeks ago but at the 11th hour I started pulling out records and the set seemed to be taking a more classic trance anthem feel. I’ve always had a handful of records that are brilliant but seemingly impossible to mix. This week I brought 5 or 6 of them and overall things didn’t go to badly. The first mix was a little forced but then things smooth out a little better. 

First Half

prism – innerscape (limbo records)
natious – sonic sunrise
mike hiratzka & justin scott dixon – two worlds (original mix)
seafield – feel free (white label promo)
opus 808 – don’t turn away (e.f.o. remix)
dj eyal – xtacy 1999 (phatt phunk records)
blue amazon – no other love (blue amazon’s new phase funk mix)
polar – polar south (koncept records)
dastrix – raw (red parrot recordings)
tomcraft – lonliness (club mix)

Second Half

dumonde – god music (euphonic mix)
three drives – greece 2000 (deniro remix)
talla 2xlc – love’s coming down (dumonde remix)
miss shiva – dreams (humate remix)
three drives – greece 2000 (farmatronic genetic mix)
transa – carla’s theme (hook recordings)
transa – enervate (hook recordings)
three drives – greece 2000 (leama & james davis remix)
transa – perpetua (hook recordings)
chac – 7 years (grinder vox for the box remix)

We’re still catching up after falling a little behind. Here is last week’s set. First hour is hard electro trance by dj Smiley Mike and in the second half dj Caddyshack goes K2 trance. At least that’s how I describe it? Have you ever listened to the soundtrack to the mountain climbing movie K2? It’s epic!

Here’s this weeks Trancendance podcast. Smiley Mike starts off the night for the first hour and Caddyshack takes the second hour with several tracks and remixes by Blue Amazon. Then in our usual long-weekend fashion we extend the show with a two hour tag-team set.

Thanks to Edward, Andrew and the other people that called in. Edward requested Children by Robert Miles and I just happened to have Tilt’s version of Children and played it – third track into the set.

If you asked me as I was leaving the station on Sunday I would have said this was destined to be a great set. I even had hopes of adding it to the Featured Podcasts (in the sidebar). After a second listen however, the mixing is not as tight as I had hoped. Whatever. I had a blast in the studio this week.

This week’s mix is pretty diverse including a few classic trance anthems from Transa, Faster Kill off Paul Oakenfold’s A Lively Mind and sweet mash-up of the Bassment Jaxx. Sometimes you just gotta have fun!
