June Mix - Trance

[Don1]

Hi everyone,
The final section of 'operation clear the decks' sees another Trance release - and this one is a bit of a corker (even if I do say myself). Latitude is a little bit of everything - massive synths, hard bass, soaring vocals, and an old tune to wrap things up.
After this, I am going to be concentrating more on 'building' sets, looking for more modern (newly released) tracks, that fit together in musical keys.
Hope you enjoy!

Ah, it IS you on the watch forum. Will download this. Your Input, Output, Inhale and Exhale were very good. Do you do requests?

[Don1]

You mean apart from the normal one of 'please stop'?

Yes, I can do. I have a fair collection - did try to do one for someone else, but the communication lines broke down...

[Sim89]

Great set, some really strong tracks.

Sunlounger mix is really good.

[ShadownINja]

Well, I personally like tracks that build up over time and then fade away. eg the track at 12'30. Just reminds me of when they go crazy with the laser patterns and the smoke machines.

A whole mix of just those tracks would be great. Well, in my opinion.

12'30? That would be Sea Tides? Yeah, lovely thing.

Glad people are enjoying....

Might have to throw a 'classics' mix together at some point - you know... 643, Gouryella, Satellite, Endless Wave, Airwave (etc).

[ShadownINja]

Well, let me know if you do a mix with just those types of tracks. That's my favourite style of trance.

[Don1]

Well, I have 2 more Trance mixes named, and started downloading today for recording - 'Impact' and 'Epic'.

New Funky mix is also in the works... un-named at this junction (but that isn't such a bad name in itself....)

[MonkeyBusiness]

Thanks again Don for the mixes. Currently listening and its very good.

[Mystic Slippers]

Thanks Don loved exhale especially Mike Foyle - bittersweet nightshade
A couple of my fave current trance tracks are Ilya soloviev -lover summer (original mix)
And Lego -Planet Toxic
Can you mix chillout stuff ?- i guess its tricky as a lot has no drum intro

Some classic chillout stuff i like
Aeroplane - above and beyond
sub sub -past
Lamb between -darkness and wonder

[hoathenfold]

Downloading now!!

I'm a bit late, but thanks. Uplift all the way, proper trance but almost sounds old when you listen to all the prog stuff about now. Sea Tides is a classic upllift sound. This mix reminded me of Future Sound of Egypt (Aly and Fila), that sort of style. Re the "classics" mix, I love the '96 - 00 period, when I first started listening to this stuff at 15/16. BT - Flaming June, Space Brothers, Veracocha, Brainbug...blah blah, all the usual! Thanks again.

Random question - have you ever heard "John 00 Fleming - Global Trance Grooves" (monthly online radio show)

[ShadownINja]

Snag is, prog is soooo boring to listen to and to dance to.

Sorry, havent listened to the mix, but am interested to hear your thoughts on this, are you looking into harmonic mixing / in-key mixing?

Are you going to be using one of the computer programs that identify the key, or are you musically trained / able to identify it yourself?

Ive been mixing for a while now and have read a few things about harmonic mixing but dont know anybody who has tried it.

[Don1]

My friends all rave on about Mixed In Key ( http://www.mixedinkey.com/), and I have to say that for a lot of Trance, it does sound a hell of a lot better generally. Obviously that there are some real exception, when a key change will improve the set.

What I hate about it, is that the DJ then thinks that they have to stay with that system, and aren't experimenting, and they won't be mixing, thinking that 'X' would sound really good in here...

[lazyitus]

A belter, Don. Good work.

Thanks.

[GavDav]

Been listening to this mix for most of tonight and very impressed. Absolutley love my trance anyway, so thank you for this mix and look forward to the future ones..

[Don1]

Damn, thank you people! This months will be Trance, just need to pull my finger out and get it sorted...

[baz1985]

Great as usual. Looking forward to the Classics.....

[ZondaMark]

I can't help but smile every time I listen to Cirrus. Beautiful tune.
