Excellent mix. So much 303 and Tx81 ❤️

I recently decided to upgrade my mixer from my trust old Xone 42 to a PLAYdifferently Model 1.4 and of course what better way to christen my extravagant new toy than with the recording of a mix! This started life as another one of my drunken evening rambling epics which I was just going to drop as the next episode of the I Like This project, but after listening to it back a few times I realised that there enough bits that I really liked that it was worth trying to rejig the bits that were less well done and have it as a stand alone mix. 
 I've been listening to a lot of the newer trance from labels like Haws but this is the first mix Ive done that really features it prominently. I think I've managed to successfully synthesise it in with the other sounds I play to create something cohesive.  It is very much a "trance" mix, quite high energy and laced with 303 all over the place alongside some full on hands in the air euphoria, although hopefully staying the right side of unicorn bothering.
