Used my free minutes on Soundcloud for this one, because everyone seems to hate Beatplexity. This is just a straight-up trance mix, another one of those "stop complaining that there's no good music being made in [Genre X]" sets. All the tracks are 2009-2011, and there were about 30 that could have gone in but there wasn't room for.
Enjoy, and let me know what you thought.

I haven't been updated in trance for a minute. I'll bump this.

Now this is the something different I was looking for. Hadn't listened to anything like this in the better part of a decade.
First forty and last half hour or so were great, J. From about 40:00-58:00 things got a little too heavy for my tastes, but there's no arguing that. Still, I don't know any of these artists, but I'm glad trance appears not to be totally devoid of anything relevant or interesting these days.
Anyway, thanks.

Hell yeah. Your mixes have really good structure and flow. Given up on trance long ago, so I'm looking forward to this. BTW do you still have those Epic House Trilogy mixes?:D
Sushipunk
On it.

In the event he doens't, I think I do.
I know I have at least two on my current HD, but might have copies of all of them on an external that's kicking about.

just wanted to say i really like the opening track and the second track is nice too.
otherwise i just can't get into trance anymore. i tried to listen and really enjoyed these first two tracks but then when the nasa track came on it was instantly difficult for me to listen.
i mean i like some trance music, but i mostly can't stand the offbeat unpitched bass and many of the psy conventions like the click and the sixteenthnote bass pattern, of which there is a lot of here.
so i can't really judge the entire thing as a mix, but i just wanted to mention i liked the first two tracks quite a lot. :)

The first two tracks aren't really trance as such. First one is more prog and Tony Lionni is a techno/house producer who's happened to make a very trancey track. That's probably why you like them, because they have a trancey feel without the genre tropes. I'm somewhat surprised you gave it a listen at all, so I wouldn't have expected you to like most of this mix anyway.

Here's the thing, and I'm not meaning to speak for Vana, but at least when it comes to me, I've become incredibly tired of my own musical tastes. Genres stagnate, artists change directions, and personal preferences change - and sometimes when I find myself in those spots, a little nostalgia is good now and again (which might be an odd notion considering I'd never heard any of these tracks or artists, yet the sounds evoke a sense of nostalgia).
Regardless, I'm still not all that likely to go listen to some random members trance set (or "insert genre here" set).
I think it speaks to the level of respect people here have for your musical knowledge and ability to program and mix a set that in general, when you put something up, it garners attention from those you may not expect.
Edit: Also, just to kind of dovetail the previous post - the first two tunes are probably what got me to listen to the rest.

That solano tune is ridiculous, will post more when I have time...

Nice mix here, Jack. I enjoyed your progression, it was very solid, especially into the really thick and heavy psy-oriented tracks from 9-13. I love all those artists there. One comment on the mixing, the transition from Firesigns to Airstream was a bit rough. Other than that, excellent work, man, I liked it.
