A continuation of the space series. through the void. After creating an EOY mix of the users voted and my top 2023 content for Trancefix, I realized there were so many tracks left on the table I had not had a chance to mix, especially from the ambient and downtempo ranges. A bunch of the rated top tracks users voted didn't fit the previous mix either. That atmospheric, trippy, even housey vibe in mid and higher tempos just didn't gel with the outwardly melodic and more... traditional?? trance style. Thus this mix developed, to explore the slower content fully and with plenty of breathing room, and to explore those left behind tracks I couldn't use last time. It's another long one, ranging from 110-153bpm over 4.5 hours. This is meant to be mostly an 2023 EOY mix, Part II, though I needed a special intro for this one, hence the track from 1995. Union Jack, fuck yeah. Also, there were a few 2022 tracks that fit too well to well to leave out. The first 1.5 hour is truly the void, where one can get lost in the dreamy downtempo and ambiance. The mix slowly morphs in to prog and some atmosphere, and after the 3 hour marks things get wild. Enjoy the void.

Stress & Strain Vol 21 - Through the Void

Reflections

I've been looking for tracks lately that sounded really ancient and stripped back, the way things were when trance emerged in 1993-1995. This mix was dedicated to those sounds which came from house, techno, and goa to some extent. I think four or five of the tracks in this one also came from vinyl only releases. On a side note, 'all need to go listen to the Quietman and Pusler releases from last year on Bandcamp if you haven't already. Just beautiful stuff.
