Hard Dance
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.

Music Review
What better gift for Father DJ than a trip to the record store. After starting a family I’ve been spending a lot less on records, but the owner at the record store still remembers me as his best Trance customer. I buy almost all my vinyl second hand. I believe if a track is really worth owning it should be timeless.
After listening to a stack of about 75 trance records – 3 made the cut and came home to be added to the collection. Here are the worthy tracks:
Nick Sentience – Nick Sentience EP
A1 – Nick Sentience – Transcender
AA1 - Nick Sentience - Bring It On
Riot! Recordings - 2006 - RIOT!018
Both sides of this record are brilliant. Most of the time I’ll buy a record just for one track so when I get two playable tracks on the same record it’s like a 2 for 1 discount!
DuMonde aka JamX and De Leon – The Mixes Volume 02
A – Talla 2XLC – Love’s Coming Down (DuMonde Remix)
Access Tunes – 2000 – ACCESS-04-12 (Germany)
This is the money track. The flipside features JamX and De Leon Remixes of Harem Doctors – Heartbeat and Terra W.A.N. – Who’s Gonna Ease the Pressure, which might be okay tracks (I can’t remember) but I rarely play tracks that only run for half a record. I need as much time as I can get for the mix (and I hate it when I forget and the track plays over into the next song).
Last but not least is another 2 for 1 deal with a Tribal-Trance sound…
Spider & Marc Van Bekkum – One
A – Spider & Marc Van Bekkum – One (Original Mix)
AA – Spider & Marc Van Bekkum – One (Tribe Tech Mix)
2Play Recordings – 2004 – 2PLAY007 (Netherlands)
A great Father’s Day Weekend trip indeed! You can hear all the new records in this Sunday’s Trancendance Podcast.
