Richard suggested suggested this was his favourite Trancendance set. I’ve only just started listening to it but anything that starts off with the ripping floor-crasher ‘Generate the Wave’ by Dave 202 is worth posting. So I dug up the podcast and here it is for all to enjoy.
Caddyshack returns after many weeks off for this week’s extended 3 hour show on BC Day long weekend. Smiley Mike plays an all Platipus set for the first hour. Caddyshack plays the second hour and then we tag team for the final hour – playing two records each.

This week’s Trancendance podcast is a full 2 hours of Nukleuz records mostly featuring the handiwork of Hard Trance genius Nick Sentience. It’s not a perfect set but it felt like there were more good parts than bad parts. It might not make it into the featured podcasts widget but I say it’s worth a listen.
One of my complaints has always been that it’s hard to find DJ mix CDs (back then it was mix tapes) that captured the high energy non-stop beats that I heard at raves. The mix tapes I found were good – they just lacked the relentless energy of some of my favourite DJ performances. This set is pretty relentless so hopefully a few of you will come out of it like I did – wondering were you are!
The first hour of this weeks podcast is almost entirely from the Nukleuz record label with the one exception being a Nick Sentience record from Riot Recordings. Nick Sentience is one of my favourite trance artists from the Nukleuz label and many of the Nukleuz tracks played in the first hour feature him.
The second hour isn’t as smooth but it’s still not hard to listen to. The second hour features more layered trance with some tribal influence.
Maybe it was the fact that I wrote about being a selfish DJ last week that finally got me to shorten up my mixes a little bit, or maybe it’s the fact that after hosting the show four weeks in a row I’ve had a bit more practice – but I’m pretty happy with this mix. So far I’ve only listened to the first hour, and it has a few wobbles, but all in all I like the flow of the tracks.
In the first hour I only played six or seven records, weaving back and forth several times. I will try to update this post with at least a partial track list, but it will be hard to figure out the order because I played different parts of the records several times with at least one main theme record running through most of the set.
