My new oldskool TRANCE mix!

I had a huge weekend and felt really shitty the past couple of days as a result. I listened to this again today, and man did it cheer me up. I love the way you play that string of similar tracks, drop the energy back with the male vocal track, and then slam it back up with the next one. Very clever flow device, if you did it on purpose.

Listened to this mix twice. The music straight away dives into a subtle tribal vibe with a middle eastern intro. The darkish tribal groove is present throughout the mix and it morphs into tech trance with the Incolumnis track, and ends with Vicious circle which is a highly melodic tune when compared to other tracks. I like the transition but I wonder if this is probably misplaced coz the feel and mood of the mix is changed quite suddenly - it ends colorful and happy!

There is no new material here which is just fine. All tracks are from 2000 to 2004 period except Yekuna which is from 1997.
I am getting more interested in the dark and progressive side of psytrance, so this mix will sit well in my collection.

I'm sorry it took me so long to listen. This set is killer. You have a variety of dark, thick, proggy weapons that you thrash around with aggressive tact for the whole mix. The mood is grim, the sound is filled with a very deep richness, and the flow is driven hard by a relentless groove that pounds away for 68 delicious minutes. Mixing is pretty great, especially the bigger tracks that carry more energy; I love the way those pick up the pace and really lay the hammer down. The closer wasn't out of place at all, I think it was a great way to end the set. Nice job, I had high expectations and you definitely delivered.

the tracks were well picked as always, but this mix was weak compared to others you have put out. the way you place the melodic tracks in between the chunkier, more aggressive stuff is especially well thought out.

What a weird review. You say that the tracks were well picked and you liked the blend of agressive and melodic tracks but the mix was weak? In which way?

Glad you enjoyed it. I usually start my mixes slowly and go up in tempo progressively but this time around I was very satisfied of how it picks up tempo directly from the start. I think it's thanks due to the Revolt track which really sets up the bar for the rest of the mix. A banging track.

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I personally don't consider Vicious circle as a melodic track.

Thanks for the review! I'm pretty pleased with the flow myself.

Rebel, do you have any mixes with tracks which are deep and progresssive psy?
Links to any other mixes from other DJs with similar style will also be appreciated if you know any. Yes I enjoyed this one and Thanks again.

Btw.. I still have a couple of your chill out sets and the one you did with Espe.

I liked all the tracks for the mix. you cushioned the melodic tracks between the more driving stuff nicely, it made sense going from one to the other, but i should've added that overall it lacked the direction of the last one, and the "deep" proggy one before that.

There are a couple of guys here on TA who regularly post prog psy mixes. Domesticated for instance. Check him out. There are more but I can't remember the names.

This is the first time I've ever seen somebody use Incolumis - Different Sun 2 on a mix. I love you.
