That's right, it's a trance mix, and it's not all oldschool tunes from the early 90s either (there are a few of them in there though). This mix is more of a nod towards the early 00s, when I used to tune into my local radio station to hear local DJs like Stigma. He and the others on rotation would have a darker, more atmospheric and more edgy take on the '99 anthem-vibe, and I always found this far more appealing than the usual dutch sound that was so popular around then. I do manage to find a tune or two like these today still, but they are sadly becoming less and less common in favour of psy trance and "prog"-cliches.
In any case, there's a bit of the old and new in here. If I was asked to play a trance set today, it would probably look something like this (provided that it wasn't a classics-night).

just finished it.. enjoyed it alot. mixing wasn't perfect but most errors seemed to get corrected soon enough. flow was good.. tunes were awesome, especially the second half. my favourite was the fractals track, lovely riff on it :) hearts worked as a powerful finisher too, and the outro was neat.. although could have prob been a tad shorter
keeping this one :D |

i really enjoyed this mix.
the programming is really excellent, and it just sucked me in completely. I was working and threw this mix on it helped me focus for a while and then at one point it just grabbed me by the balls and wouldn't let go. Mixing was not perfect as someone said, and though it would make the mix 'better', it was exciting and of course pretty damn good anyways as far as phrasing goes, and you really kept a solid flow through the entire set. The transition from the art of trance track into hallucinogen was pretty remarkable. There were some other really good moments - I was unable to keep still and focus on work. Maybe one criticism I would have with the mixing would be more careful levelling. I like the flanger in the cases where it transforms the timbre of the track like when you used it at the beginning of hallucinogen, but otherwise I think it was used a bit much in sort of an out-of-the-box manner.
Thanks for keeping this kind of music alive. Usually when I see 'trance' mix tracklistings here I cringe a bit
and excellent excellent mix. i will be playing this all summer. I will spread it around. |

Finished listening to your set just now, and have to say I'm thrilled at the sound and overall vibe. A lot of what people have already said, I certainly agree with (ie, track selection is great, mixing could be better) but more than anything what impressed me was your take on the classic sound. If you normally spin sets like this, I'd love to hear more. Thanks for the mix!
cheers,
Andrew |
