Trance Classics (Let's 'ave It!) (Episode 1)

I was thrilled to be invited to take part in Johnny Davison's mix series called 'Journeys'. We both had to deliver a 10 track warm up set and 10 track peak time set, which were then intertwined into one comprehensive set of over 4 hours of progressive and peak time trance.

I was asked to do another mix by the lady which once again featured one or two of her favourite tunes. I was also told to put some tracks on there which she might not know. So in my attempt to get her more interested in trance, I played it safe this time around and compiled a much more anthemic mix featuring some of the biggest tunes we all know and love.

If she enjoys this and maybe wants to hear more, next time I will delve a bit deeper.

Trancendence Three (Titan)

Once in a while it’s great just to plug in a USB, select a track, hit record and go with the flow. This is exactly what this brand new series is all about.

Just like I do when playing out live, I’m only going to preselect my first two tracks. But instead of trying to read the dance floor, I’m going to follow my own mood and see where the mix takes me. 

You could hear a full on progressive warm up mix, an end of night tech trance set, or anything in between. It could feature the classics we all know and love, or trance from the present day, or even a mixture of both. These mixes will depend entirely on my mood at the time of recording.

The duration of each mix will also be unknown. It could be a quick 45 minute set just to fill in a bit of spare time, or something much longer that takes the listener on more of a journey.

Whatever you get, these sets will be totally unplanned, unrehearsed, warts and all live recordings. Just like you would hear at a club or an event.

This is 'The Live Sessions 001'.

Track list:-

1. Mark Otten - Mushroom Therapy (Armin van Buuren Remix)
2. Ayumi Hamasaki - Appears (Armin van Buuren's Sunset Dub)

'Rapture Takeover 057' Guest Mix

Inspired... again... by this years coverage of the 'Luminosity Beach Festival', I decided to jump on the decks and record another unscripted and unrehearsed mix for my 'Live Sessions' series.

Just like a DJ playing a 2 hour time slot at the event, I wanted that same time frame restriction in the hope I can programme and shape the set to give the partygoer a proper dance floor workout and leave them on a high.

Looking back on the mix I submitted to the recent MOTION DJ competition, it made me realise that my transitions could have shown a lot more finesse. Listening back to the other entries and in my continual pursuit of improving my own technical abilities, I have put together this mix which I hope highlights some improvement.

Personally, listening back to this set in it's entirety, I think it's technically the best mix (so far) I have ever put out. In fact, I was so pleased with it, I have decided to make it the first mix in a brand new series to celebrate this. So I hope you enjoy it.

Trance Elation Volume 1

Now for something totally different.

Whilst on holiday relaxing by the pool in temperatures hovering around the mid 30's (you have got to love Tunisia), it made me look for a total change of pace for my listening material. After searching Soundcloud, I came across a superb progressive house and melodic techno mix from Andrew Duffield a.k.a. 'Samsāra'. (You may know him as the absolute legend behind the 'Club Ready DJ School' on YouTube).

It was superb and I thoroughly enjoyed it, so much so it made me want to explore this genre further to select a batch of tunes to create my very own mix.

Trance... The Classics # 1

This mix in my ‘Trance Elation’ series focuses on a very important set, one which can govern the mood for an entire club night or event… the warm up.

I cut my DJ teeth playing warm up sets at BabypaSSion in Loughborough in the very early noughties and what it taught me was that restraint is the name of the game for the warm up DJ. No promoter worth their salt would be happy with the first DJ on the line up banging out the big hitting, hands in the air anthems to an empty dance floor, especially when the doors have only just opened. Do that and you will probably be never asked back to play again.

Starting at 128 BPM, this mix chugs, weaves and builds it’s way to a steady 134 BPM finish. I think it’s a perfect “getting ready to go out” soundtrack, so I hope you enjoy it.

Track list:-

1. Northern Project - Don't Leave (Intro Mix)
2. Ahmed Helmy - What If!
3. Harry Diamond & K-MRK - Knucklebones
4. Tastexperience feat. Natasha Pearl - Summersault (Obie Fernandez Extended Remix)
5. Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab - Satellite (Above & Beyond's 2023 Extended Progressive Mix)

12. Holbrook & SkyKeeper - Rising
13. Darkness Falls - Absent Mind
14. BT - Flaming June (Dan Thompson Extended Remix)

Trance Elation Volume 3

My last mix was all about the warm up… this is the opposite.

This is a full on peak time set locked and loaded at 140 BPM for those real ‘hands in the air’ moments. It even touches into the harder sounding Watts/Durand/Sherry territory.

I really enjoyed putting this one together so I hope you like it.

Track list:-

1. The Digital Blonde - Mary (Antone Edit)

HOME Events 5th April 2025

I recorded this set about 2 months ago to be featured on a guest mix, but it was never used. In fact, I forgot about it until I stumbled across it on my laptop a few days ago.

So instead of just consigning it to the recycling bin, I decided to use it in my ‘Trance Elation’ series. So here it is, this is ‘Volume 5’.

1. James Irving-Lewis - Beyond The Clouds
2. Hans Zimmer - Chevaliers de Sangreal (Michael McBurnie Remix) [Antone Edit]

Trance Elation Volume 5

After returning from a holiday to Ibiza in the summer of 1998, Antone bought his first turntables and took up DJ’ing spinning vinyl from multiple genres such as house, garage and trance.

Feeling like a fish out of water in the usual beer boy type of venue with their mainstream, chart based music policy, he yearned to hear those 4 on the floor beats once again.

After reading an article in Mixmag listing ‘20 clubs to visit before you die’, he was surprised to see one situated in Coalville, which was local to his native Leicester. That club was ‘The Emporium’ and the night was called ‘Passion’. Walking through those doors for the very first time a few weeks later changed his life forever and It was from that moment that his love for trance music grew exponentially.

Gaining inspiration from Marc West, John ‘00’ Fleming, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold and deciding to fully focus on trance, he started handing out mix CD’s to promotors which soon saw him getting bookings to play out live on a regular basis in his local area and at nights such as Nocturnal, BabyPassion and Fixation.

DJ’ing was front and centre of Antone’s life for the next 8 years until real life and other interests got in the way. This hiatus lasted over a decade, but in all that time his love for trance music never left him. Ever since he returned and fully embraced today’s new breed of digital technology, he is once again at one with the music he loves and hopes he can take the next step to continue his career.
