Been finding it pretty hard of late to find any decent Trance that i've actually liked, so here is just a selection of those tracks along with a couple of older tracks. I've called the mix Storm Clouds, basically due to the forcoming weather forecasts over here and the fact, it kind of summarises how i'm feeling at the moment with the Trance scene. Anyway i hope you enjoy the mix and please pm me if you require a CD. I should hopefully get them out over the weekend.

02. Brian Cross - 4U (Original Mix)

Downloading now, sir. I'm sure this is quality as always.
I gave the bulk of my records a good cleaning last night! I love the feel and sound of fresh, clean, smooth vinyl. :D |

| Another excellent mix, sir. As usual, nothing to complain about here. Smooth mixing, phrasing, and eq'ing. Tracklist was enjoyable, too. Can't ask for for than that, really. :D |

| Downloading now, your mix is going faster than dream melodies, so I'll definately give it a listen to sometime tonight. Interested in what the new Octagen track I see in your tracklist sounds like; I agree that it's hard to find good quality trance. Generally it takes a month or two for a track to be released that I really enjoy. |

Hey, gonna give you a nice thorough review of the mix.
It starts out nice and dark with the booming thunderclouds, very appropriate for the "Storm Clouds" theme. First transition sounds kinda weird at first, but it sounds great once that initial synth becomes more familiar. Second track sounds okay, pretty stereotypical of any vocal trance track ever created though. Third track blends superbly with the second even though it comes in just a tiny bit too loud. Great build in this third track. Yeah, track 4 is bangin'. This is my kind of trance, Octagen usually doesn't dissapoint, good choice! I'm not diggin this transition into track 5 though, comes on a little too strong in my opinion, but if you snaked in before the second breakdown of Untold, then props to you!
Track 5 reminds me of North Pole by Solid Globe. Track 6 sounds Kamil Polner-ish. I like how the mix is picking up with track 7, getting a little more intense and higher BPM. That was a good track. Again, the transition sounds iffy into track 8 at first, but after about 15 seconds it sounds great. And near the end, this mix is gettin' kinda techy, which I think is way better than putting the tech trance in the beginning of the mix.
Alright dude, beatmatching, EQ'ing, and the cues all line up great and are very professional. The only thing I have to say was off in the mix are the first 10-15 seconds of a few of the transitions. Maybe turn down the mid or low EQ a little more before dropping them in? My favorite tracks are 4 and 7, those are niiiiiice. |
