My friend has recently been curious about trance and i would very much like him to join the scene. He has a 56k modem and doesn't have the patience to download all the anthems and new tracks, so i told him i'd make a mix to introduce him. (i have no life other than mixing). So i just compiled a bunch of tracks i'd mix for him. I can't fit all the tracks on it, so i'd like some feedback on my selection so far. anything to add? anything to cut?

Push n Globe vs. Harry Choo Choo romero - i want out tranceformation
Airbase Presents Moon - Wave
Armin Van Buuren - Yet Another Day (original mix)

You may want to throw in the gabriel and dresden mix of southern sun instead of the tiesto? Also chuck in a classic or 2 like 'three drives - greece 2000' or something!

James Holden - Nothing (Vocal mix)??=>do u mean mix 2?
I think Tiesto mix would be better than g&d mix
You maybe could drop in tracks like
BT-Dreaming(Libra mix)
Hydra-Affinity(Thrillseekers mix)
Darude=Sandstorm=>heh jk
M3 - Bailamos (Matt Darey remix)

I'll add Energy - Cafè del Mar, System F - Out of the Blue and Gouryella productions for sure and then all that tracks called anthem...
There is a reason if they are called anthem.

I'd definately put a few more anthems in there, after all, they are anthems because they are great trance. This could also give him a chance to differentiate between trance from a few years ago and trance of today... which I consider to be important.

This is just my taste talking here, I'd throw in more Ferry (my hero!), definately Gouryella. Great to see you have Souvenir De Chine in there, brilliant piece! Sky falls down (avb) is very appropriate too... and I'd stick with tiesto remix of southern sun. Commercial so they say... but undoubtedly a great track. I take it you aren't going to include much hardstyle, fair enough, but if you wanted to hint at it, stick DJ Kim - Jetlag (Alphazone Remix) in there and blow his socks off!

Hmm
I would swap Darren Tate - Fall From Grace
with Daren Tate - Pulse.
Throw in Three Drives - Greece 2000 (MWNN Remix)
The Gouryella tracks. (Not Ligaya)
Riva - Stringer
Way Out West - Mindcircus (Gabriel 'n Dresden remix)
System F - Out Of the Blue
Airwave - When Things Go Wrong
The Freak - The Sound The Melody (Flutlicht Remix)
To name a few...

Hmm, I dunno. my playlist would look totally different from that...
Only tracks on that list that I would keep would be
Fire n Ice - Souvenir De Chine and Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (Tiesto Remix)

Dt8 - Destination
Pulser - Cloud Walking (Ferry Corsten Remix)
Yahel - Voyage
GTR - Mistral
Klea - Tic Toc (Magik Music Mix)

then some classics like

3 Drives - Greece 2000
Li Kwan - Point Zero
Gouryella - Gouryella
Push - The Anthem

cosmic gate - fire wire (just listenin to it now from a set)
transa - supernova (searchin for song n it reminded me off this beauty)

ok i've messed around with the playlist and thanx for all ur input. I decided tho that i want the artists in my mix to appear only once. So now i'm stuck with which Second Sun/Gouryella to pick.

Second Sun - The Spell
or
Second Sun - Empire


Gouryella - Gouryella
or
Gouryella - Tenshi

Use Second Sun - Empire, anyway.

But not the original mix.

Get Second Sun - Empire (Paul van Dyk's Tpod mix) instead. A much better buildup.

that's a pretty good list you've got...alot of good suggestions too. I guess my pick would be alibi - eternity...any mix but especially the original innercity...so classic...such a great anthem...
