Used my free minutes on Soundcloud for this one, because everyone seems to hate Beatplexity. This is just a straight-up trance mix, another one of those "stop complaining that there's no good music being made in [Genre X]" sets. All the tracks are 2009-2011, and there were about 30 that could have gone in but there wasn't room for.

Enjoy, and let me know what you thought.

I haven't been updated in trance for a minute. I'll bump this.

Now this is the something different I was looking for. Hadn't listened to anything like this in the better part of a decade.

First forty and last half hour or so were great, J. From about 40:00-58:00 things got a little too heavy for my tastes, but there's no arguing that. Still, I don't know any of these artists, but I'm glad trance appears not to be totally devoid of anything relevant or interesting these days.

Anyway, thanks.

Hell yeah. Your mixes have really good structure and flow. Given up on trance long ago, so I'm looking forward to this. BTW do you still have those Epic House Trilogy mixes?

On it.

In the event he doens't, I think I do.

I know I have at least two on my current HD, but might have copies of all of them on an external that's kicking about.

just wanted to say i really like the opening track and the second track is nice too.

otherwise i just can't get into trance anymore. i tried to listen and really enjoyed these first two tracks but then when the nasa track came on it was instantly difficult for me to listen.

i mean i like some trance music, but i mostly can't stand the offbeat unpitched bass and many of the psy conventions like the click and the sixteenthnote bass pattern, of which there is a lot of here.

so i can't really judge the entire thing as a mix, but i just wanted to mention i liked the first two tracks quite a lot.

beautiful set SYSTEM-J, thanks for sharing

Cheers guys. I still have the epic house mixes. Always having requests for them so I'll re-upload them this week.

The first two tracks aren't really trance as such. First one is more prog and Tony Lionni is a techno/house producer who's happened to make a very trancey track. That's probably why you like them, because they have a trancey feel without the genre tropes. I'm somewhat surprised you gave it a listen at all, so I wouldn't have expected you to like most of this mix anyway.

Here's the thing, and I'm not meaning to speak for Vana, but at least when it comes to me, I've become incredibly tired of my own musical tastes. Genres stagnate, artists change directions, and personal preferences change - and sometimes when I find myself in those spots, a little nostalgia is good now and again (which might be an odd notion considering I'd never heard any of these tracks or artists, yet the sounds evoke a sense of nostalgia).

Regardless, I'm still not all that likely to go listen to some random members trance set (or "insert genre here" set).

I think it speaks to the level of respect people here have for your musical knowledge and ability to program and mix a set that in general, when you put something up, it garners attention from those you may not expect.

Edit: Also, just to kind of dovetail the previous post - the first two tunes are probably what got me to listen to the rest.

That solano tune is ridiculous, will post more when I have time...

Nice mix here, Jack. I enjoyed your progression, it was very solid, especially into the really thick and heavy psy-oriented tracks from 9-13. I love all those artists there. One comment on the mixing, the transition from Firesigns to Airstream was a bit rough. Other than that, excellent work, man, I liked it.

Yeah, I really couldn't get it to sound any smoother than that. I don't know if it's just something about the intro to Airstream, but it sounds a little bit out for no good reason.

I shall give this my ears.

I'm not a trance guy anymore so I can't say this rocked my world or whatever. however, if I was a newbie to electronica, this would be a good introduction.

I see Aural Imbalance in the tracklist and I'm sold. Will definitely give a listen.

Listened to the first 40mins or so of this yesterday running home from work, totally tranced me out and made me not think about the pain of running (which was fairly considerable, 2 long weekends worth of booze, fags and general inactivity to work through). Well at least up until the mix out of firesigns. Like I said I was nicely tranced out, floating along, when I was rudely yanked back into reality by a jarring mix. I was quite disappointed and I think it even sullied my opinion of the next couple of tracks!

My walk to work in the morning is just over the hour so I was able to listen to the last hour today. As mentioned by others, from Equilibrium to the end is really good, but that section in the middle kicked off by Airstream just doesnt seem to sit as well. Its almost like the dodgy mix into Airstream puts you on the ropes and you dont quite recover until Equilibrium.

Despite those criticisms its a very good set, certainly one that will get many repeat plays. Some very good tunes in there, quite a few that will going straight into my cart. Although, considering that through labels and artists on my watch lists all bar three of them should have been past my ears Im slightly kicking myself that I only know one!!

Anyway, definitely gets the two thumbs fresh from me.

This is a totally unexpected direction from you. Will download and listen over the weekend. I'm expecting this to be fairly interesting, too, as I know almost every artist and label in the mix but none of the particular tracks.

Oh, nice and unexpected. On the download.

sick! Will defo check this out, just might be be a little while before I can leave some thoughts as I have a few mixes to catch up on.

Bordering between Trance and Progressive Psytrance and as zip wrote: nice progression. Too slow for my taste, but who cares.
The only thing was that most transitions had some minor problems with beatmatching, rest was fine.

I know the mixing isn't my smoothest, but I think that's down to EQ'ing in most cases. EQ'ing has always been my weak point, especially when mixing four on the floor. You'll sometimes hear the beats noticeably thickening during my transitions, which is one of the reasons I prefer mixing breaks - I don't seem to have the same problem as much.

I did try to be a bit adventurous with the mixing. If you listen to the full tracks you'll know I'm not just mixing the safe bits, doing boring bassline switches and other dull trance DJ techniques. I was inspired a lot by J00F's mixing, particularly when I saw him live, and the way he builds momentum and energy.

What would you have expected?

Anything but this. Ambient or at least something beatless, dubstep/something UK bass-related, melodic techno.

That said, this mix appears to be a collection of what you were listening to, rather than are listening to. And I know you seemed pretty taken with prog-psy when I posted that Twelve Hours set which finished with Black Arrow by Solar Fields.

Hi mate

I listened to this the other day with high hopes of another of ur stellar examples of 'best of genre EDM' (your breaks, dnb, and post-apocylipse ones i have so far are all yet to leave the mp3 player).

Unfortunately, and unlike the others where there are none, there are just way too many imperfections in the mixing for this to be regarded in the same ball park. I'm wondering if that's because trance relies on longer transitions than those other genres, or because of the bpm? Some of the transitions were fine of course; it's just that there are a few shockers too which i thought warrented a re-recordeing.

As for the music, it DOES live up to your usual high standards, with plenty of atmosphere and non-overblown euphoria. The direction is also very professional and logical (albeit completely linear). If the mixing was as good as usual, it would have an amazing flow. I reckon that the mix may have benefited from just 1 non-square-psy trance anthem in the latter half. Maybe something crom the joof label? Thats just personal taste though.

Another thing worth mentioning is that unlike your other mixes, i am very familiar with these tunes which of course makes it more tricky to impress. It is obviously good and i can see it being a worthy intro into this style of trance

I've been listening to quite a lot of psy-related stuff recently. A lot of psy-chill and also plenty of stuff like this. I've also been to a couple of good trance nights this year.

That's fair enough. I think it is mainly because I haven't mixed four on the floor beats (or trance) for quite a while. I'm more used to mixing proggier stuff, and the faster psy-trance stuff with heavier basslines was a first-time thing for me.

Personally, I made sure I listened through this before I uploaded it and I didn't have too many issues with the mixing (apart from the one out of Fire Signs) but I don't usually get any complaints and this time I've had several, so clearly I fucked up a bit.

Either way, thanks for listening. Always appreciate honest feedback.
