I still do consider myself a trance DJ even if lot of the records I play are labeled progressive house, psytrance or techno. I'm just looking for certain qualities (melodic, hypnotic, driving, emotional) in music and currently I tend to find that my "tranceness" in lots of other genres too. Like that Tarrantella track which is basically a 123bpm house track but very trancey in it's feel and mood.

Originally posted by phant0m Will your remixes of "Ajare" and "Two Full Moons & A Trout" be released? The second one will be featured on Union Jack's new album, I believe?

I'm not sure what will happen with either of those. Union Jack remix is made "on spec" meaning that Platipus will release it if they like it and see an interest in it. I haven't spoken with Simon about including it on the forthcoming Union Jack album but that would make sense to me Btw, the remix version of 'Two Full Moons & A Trout' that I've played is far from finished. Maybe 60-70% there but I just wanted to test it on gigs and in radio to get some feedback which so far has been very promising.

Way Out West's 'Ajare' is more tricky because DeConstruction (the label who released it originally and still own the rights as far as I know) doesn't exist anymore so releasing that is a big question mark. Certain high profile trance label has showed interest in releasing both of these as an EP if the release on original labels wouldn't work out.

So to summarize it: I don't know but hopefully both would be out latest this summer

Yes, I didn't want to call it into question, just say that the track selection is far away from that typical mainstream trance, which most of DJs play .

I've read on TA that Union Jack are planning to release "There Will Be No Armageddon" plus remixes, so maybe your remix will be among them? They may also want to wait and put it on their new album, but it's said to be published in Autumn :/. Anyway, it's a great remix, just like their new works - "Papillon" and "Swarm".

RADIO UNITY 003

March edition of Radio Unity (on Wednesday 18th) will be quite an atmospherical one. It's inspired by lots of travelling around frozen Finland working as soundtrack for crisp winter days and blue morning moments. Musically it ranges from warm electronica through melodic prog house to progressive trance and even a hint of old school Goa-trance...

There are some usual suspects like Jerome Isma-ae and Simon & Shaker delivering the goodies while also some fresh new producers who've cought my attention lately. Here are the details for tuning in and logging into the live discussion on Afterhours.fm message board where I'll be chatting during the airing.

Show: DJ Orkidea: Radio Unity 003
Time: 3rd Wednesday of the month @ 21:00-22:00 CET (22-23 FIN time)
Live streams: http://forum.ah.fm/ (–> upper left corner)
Live discussion during the show: http://forum.ah.fm/livesets-ah-fm/
