"A DJ mix should be more than just your choice picks of the month, it should tell a story. 
Your DJ mix should take people on a journey of sound; the direction you choose to take them and the journey itself, now that should be unique to you."

By virtue of that bit of advice my mentor once shared with me, I humbly present to you, my submission for Progressions - Selections Podcast series, edition 47. 

Traversing through the traditional progressive trance sounds, to contemporary progressive trance, vocal trance and finally tech-trance, this 128-140 BPM one hr journey is my Trance story.

About arif rajab:
I found transcendence with Trance music. So I became a DJ because I wanted to share these moments where we're lost in the music with like-minded people. I realised I had quite good taste in music as well, the hundreds (and twice, thousands,) I've played can attest to that :D 

Through my live sets and promo-mixes, I want to share with you, Trance music lovers or not, what the music is all about. My style mixes the classics with the current sounds, taking you on journey where you discover the genre through the timeless and the new. 

Till we meet again, stay safe ;)

About Progressions Asia (Singapore):
Progressions saw the light of day in 19 July 2003 when Centro 360 (Singapore) wanted to create a localised monthly club night. It was styled very much in the same vein as Godskitchen and Gatecrasher where the music championed would be anything melodious and uplifting; from breaks to progressive house to quality trance.

The success of the debut gig was a sheer indication of the team's direction, which hit dead centre with what the clubbing community was starving for a feel-good vibe and a musically-focused event.

From there forth, spearheaded by Singapore's pioneering progressive trance deejay Yukun, Progressions became a monthly highlight at Centro 360. It eventually spawned another locally created brand night called Space 2020 which had Yukun sparring off with his international counterparts. Both events saw high revenue returns for the club.

With the closure of Centro 360, the legendary Liquid Room seized the opportunity to offer themselves as the new home of Progressions. They were right on the money. The brand also supported the club's own Trance brand (Acceleration) which saw many debuts like Andy Moor, Thrillseekers and etc...

Progressions next moved to the defunct Onyx at One Fullerton and continued it's successful reign as the country's most consistent and prominent club brand night. It also supported the club's international trance night (Transient) and hosted luminaries like Gareth Emery, John Askew, Kyau vs Albert, Misja Helsloot, Solarstone, Mike Koglin, Lange, Cor Fijneman and many more.
