coded > Under A Blood Moon - Trance Sept'07 -

Whilst sitting in my back yard the other night looking at the rare blood moon I got to thinking about my early days
with electronic music. It consisted of a very healthy diet of trance. I used to eat the stuff up buying everything I
could get my hands on and waiting patiently all week until I could hear how good it sounded wasted off my face.
Well that was over 15 years ago now and a lot has changed. Peeps would instantly categorise with chill mixes
and that is cool with me because I love that stuff now. The point of this mix however is to show that hopefully I can
cut it with you younger guys on the dancier edge of the scene. I am sure to hear whether that is the case or not
soon anyway .

Most of these tracks have been selected over the last few months and are certainly what I believe to be peak
time fodder.

Download , drop a pinger , have a beer whatever but have some fun !!!

Cheers

cheers chaps !

Grabbing this now, looks nice

All clicks together for a very well composed set, cheers for posting it up I really liked it.

Trance sets are rare if not nonexistant from you so I'm definitely picking this one up.

Well I am expecting a few peeps to say " stick to the chill old fella " so see what happens

Although i never comented, i have enjoyed a few of your sets. I really do not like trance anymore...but since some of your stuff got some play from me with no regrets i am actually a bit curious. Not many DJ's have that kind of versatility, so I'm a little intrigued on how you will do trance. Added to the pile and I will keep an open mind

I think we all realise that trance is not cool fresh or innovative anymore. Its all electrohouse and minimal these days and the most talented producers are flocking to that sound in their hundreds. I also love all that stuff as well.

You get sick of anything though if you smother yourself in it so this was something different to sink my teeth into,

Cheers

ps .Well i wouldn't say i'm sick of it, but you are right about changing up things once in awhile. Not only can it give you inspiration in terms of new elements in regards to producing...it can also inspire dj wise. Never liked the electrohouse(minus a few tracks...real electro i love...anyhow these days the truly gifted dj's do not solely rely on genres and bring many diff elements to sets. I might call my mixes tech house, but it is rare that they do not a few other genres peppered in as well.), and i have been on the tech house tip for at least 4 years. Its kinda sad for me , because i get accused of bandwagon jumping at times...when really i was into it before they started building it. I have listened to quite a few of your chillout mixes to read to or get settled for bedtime. They really helped relax sometimes..this is why im gonna be adventurous and listen to this one. Yours is next in queue...i will review soon
Cheers right back.

Its not that trance isn't cool. I just outgrew it. I grew sick of the scene and its worshipping ways. (I will always be a producer whore before a dj whore.) The Bpm's came down and i started enjoying a more feet on the floor approach. Once in awhile however a trance track will catch my ear and be purchased for when im in that mood. Throw away the Ferry formula and bring back the complexity without structural limitations would make me love it again. Nu Trance is becoming effective at this albeit less driving. (bla bla bla...im staring at reason and am pulling my hair out...can you say boredom?)

Only tracks I've heard off that list is one night in tokyo and suru - downloading

Very very nice set mate

Wasn't a fan of the fade out at the end, but I really enjoyed listening to this!

There will be many more listens in the future, good stuff

I fucking love the track that starts around 34:15

Can't get it out of my head

Edit: Is it Fire Devil - Gleave ?

Awesome track

I was surprisingly impressed. Good mixing and everything really seemed to be well thought out in terms of pacing and flow. I had never heard any of these tracks before in my life.(I'm allen f, yes i was gonna give trance a try) Even if some of the tracks at any given time were not to my liking, i still resisted fast forwarding because even if i wasn't liking something it felt like it still had a place in where it was. I had forgotten that not all Trance was super cheese, and certain melodical aspects of tracks added beauty/depth at times.I'll stick with the Chillout stuff you do really well coded as i just enjoy that style more...but if I was a Trance head you would have a 100% approval on this one. I will say that this is the first set in a few years that I go into without knowing any tracks in the listing. That made this really refreshing.

Thanks for such an in depth review, made for great reading !!

Cheers and glad you enjoyed some new music.

Thank you, another month and another great set I'm sure.

Hope it cranks your handle

Getting this now. I've enjoyed the bulk of your chilled mixes, so this certainly has the potential to be pure quality.

From a technical standpoint, this is brilliant mixing, mate. I wish my mixes were consistently this tight. However, being the epic trance fan that I am, I didn't really get into the tracklist until this point:

Ma Cherie > Roman Rain
One Night In Tokyo ( Dj Shah's Remix ) > Purple Mood
Shadow Hearts ( Estiva Remix ) > Miikka Leinonen
Suru > Super8 & Tab

But that's simply a matter of personal preference. Again, excellent, excellent mixing.

^I agree with what Zoso said regarding the technical part and a matter of personal preference since I only liked this track:

Purple Mood - One Night In Tokyo (DJ Shah Remix)

My only tip is if you're planning to make another trance mix, that you familiarize yourself with the trance scene again because this set sounded really borderline if it wasn't for the last few tracks.

Or could it be time for the Trance scene to try something new? I enjoyed it and I dislike 90% of all Trance. Maybe some new things are good for it? It has been the same for so long I see nothing wrong with a little "outside the box" forward thinking.
