Craig Cassiera - Progressive Trance - Spring 2023

Listen up, music lover. If you're looking for another run-of-the-mill DJ who's all about the flash and no substance, you're in the wrong place. But if you're seeking a craftsman of sound, a sonic adventurer, then lets connect.

You see, I'm not your run-of-the-mill beat jockey who just stumbled upon a passion for music because it was the cool thing to do. I've been in the trenches, diving headfirst into the intoxicating world of dance music. 

But let me tell you, it wasn't about just producing tracks, bootlegs, or the occasional DJ gig. Nah, that's child's play. My quest was to forge something far more meaningful: musical experiences that leave a mark, that make your soul hum along, that change the way you see the world, even if just for a moment.

Now, I'm not claiming to be the all-knowing sage atop the mountain. As Laozi once said, "The wise man is one who knows what he does not know." And I'm wise enough to know that it's not about inflating egos or claiming the spotlight. It's about creating a connection, a spark that ignites the heart and soul.

Music, to me, is like a universal language, a bridge that transcends cultural, linguistic, and social divides. It's not something to be taken lightly. It's a force to be reckoned with, one that deserves our utmost respect and reverence. And when wielded with care, it can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

So, here's the thing: my dance music journey isn't about me. It's about exploration, growth, and the thrill of discovery. It's about creating a sound that doesn't just hit the right notes, but also stirs the right emotions. It's about embracing humility, simplicity, and a deep-seated respect for the power of music. And ultimately, it's about bringing us a little closer, one beat at a time.

So, are you ready to join me on this journey?

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.
