Tech trance can seem very bland at times, often emotionless and sounding like a beefed up version of tech house. This set feels very groovy, funky even, but with enough elements of dance to keep your head moving. I particularly enjoyed the riff at about 14 minutes, 39 minutes, and some of the sick basslines that occur throughout some of these tracks. There are some tracks with epic elements to keep it from sounding like robots created this music. Tracks have repetitive elements, but not TECHNO repetitive where you hear the same thing for 4 minutes straight. Vocals are tossed into tracks sometimes, often feeling a tad out of place.

I felt like your transitions are good, sometimes a little jarring, because you'll be grooving to one, and then a sweep will bring you directly into the next track. Sometimes they are very quick, but I suppose for this kind of trance, long transitions may not be necessary.

This isn't the kind of music that would light up a crowd, but definitely some tasty EDM, like some sort of hybrid between electro house and psytrance. I feel out of all the types of trance you spin, with the exception of your psytrance mixes, this is my favorite flavor. Some of the trance you spin practically puts me to sleep (see Frozen Dewdrops and a lot of Preference 2008), but this stuff is pretty interesting. I wouldn't mind seeing you do a few more, although part of me thinks that once you've heard one tech trance song, you've heard 95% of them. I think it's cool, groovy trance, so don't get the impression that I didn't like it. I did, so do some more!

Thanks for the music!

Glad you enjoyed it dude, shame it's not exactly my favourite genre and I rarely find techy stuff I like in all honesty.
