DI.FM's 24th Anniversary Progressive Special

In this episode, we shift gears towards the trancey soundscapes I promised last time. Trance is one of the most diverse music genres, spanning many different sub-genres and styles. Today, I'd like to highlight a specific, emerging sound that is fast-paced, heads-down, and sits somewhere between early 90s trance and the psychedelic scene. We call it Raw Trance, and this is where the most forward-thinking and underground trance currently is, in my opinion. Enjoy!

It’s a big show this month, for years you’ve been asking for a Turbo mix…. so I’ve made you an exclusive mix, no holding back, no building up, just unleashed a full power Turbo mix. 
I’ve been open and honest with my musical journey and its important to me to play honest music from my heart, and not just play ‘harder’ tracks for the sake of it that I’m not into to fill a void, I took my time navigating finding exactly where I wanted to be musically and you’ll hear the rewards of this. 

One of my current musical heroes is on the guest mix this month, I’m extremely honoured to have 
Sphera take control for the final 60 minutes.

(Tracklist below)

My love and quest to continue supporting and nurturing the more specialist side of Trance continues. Last month, Beatport asked me to make a chart to show my favourite releases over the last year, and I mentioned on last month’s show that it would be a good idea to let one of you make a mix of the chart for me to play this month. After listening to many amazing mixes, DJ Custard stood out, winning the guest mix on this month’s show. 

I continue the same vibe, opening the show with an hour mix of some exciting finds that I’ve been playing a lot at recent shows.

Rave Podcast 157 (February 2025)

Push Da Tempo

BALANCE

Dreamcoder – Om Shanti
Label: Lucidia Records | Release Date: TBC

A hypnotic voyage through the sacred and the psychedelic, Om Shanti by Dreamcoder blends ancient mantras with the pulsating energy of Goa Trance. Layered with cosmic synths, driving acid lines, and tribal rhythms, this track is both a dancefloor weapon and a spiritual invocation. Dreamcoder channels meditative intent through a high-energy lens—where peace meets power, and tradition meets transcendence. Released on the ever-evolving Lucidia Records, Om Shanti is a call to inner stillness wrapped in relentless motion.
