So, I’ve hinted that this mix was coming on my Gotek FB page etc, but I’ve noticed that I’ve been gravitating to my collection of much older, “vintage”, Uplifting Trance tracks (early-to-mid 2000’s, before 2010), many of which I originally purchased on vinyl, some of which were only ever released in vinyl format, back in the day when I would hear something on DI.FM and frantically search the internet for it, when you often times would be paying $15-$30 bucks for a “white label” piece of vinyl to be shipped to you from Europe somewhere, long before the convenience of the Internet and paying $2.50 for immediate gratification to download a lossless file. Back in the days when Trance was still forming, when the tracks were 8-9 minutes long and sounded rawer and more primitive, but still some of the most spine-tingly stuff I have ever heard. Well, a couple of weekends ago I decided to record a classics mix on the CDJ's to listen to later from Dropbox (something I do once in a while for music to listen to in the backyard while I was BBQ’ing, etc). So I went to my music collection and sorted by date, and was frankly surprised how many MP3’s I had that had no date or other metadata because they were so old, so I compiled a list of tracks I hadn’t heard in many years, and this is what I ended up with. Truth be known, I did go back and repurchase many of these tracks in AIFF (lossless) format from Beatport, because some of those ancient MP3’s just didn’t have the sound quality I needed, but there still were several MP3’s used to mix this set from tracks that weren’t available to re-buy as lossless files anywhere online. This mix has been professionally sound-leveled, and preserved in the original WAV format that I recorded it in,  for that added punch of sound quality on those extra old files, but I also sort of don't mind the MP3's for the extra emphasis on that "vintage" (slightly crappy) sound quality anyway haha. For me, this mix really brought back a lot of fond memories from a couple decades ago, when Uplifting Trance was much newer and pure, still just coalescing and finding it's place, and the feelings it conjures up are pure magic. I called this one “White Label”, and plan to have a vintage Trance series of the same now. I hope you feel the same way as I do when you hear it, enjoy!! -Mark a.k.a. Gotek PS: I always thought Menno De Jong’s “Intuition (Summer Event '07 Theme)” needed an extra breakdown after he teases you with it then just ends the track haha.. So I added some hot cues ands chopped it up on the CDJ's and added it myself!! So there, Menno!! =)

“White Label” a Classic Trance demo mix: 001, recorded live Feb 13th, 2023

On, Saturday, April 29th, I was beyond honored to be the primary support for easily one of my all-time favorite Trancers, Anjuna star and true prodigy Trance pioneer from the earlier days, Hungarian DJ/record producer, Levente Márton, better know by his stage name, SUNNY LAX. This is one of those “pinch myself am I dreaming??” moments because this is the 3rd time I’ve been on the opening roster for Sunny Lax, which is 3x more than I could have even hoped for haha, and it’s always such a pleasure to see this genuinely friendly, humble, and sweet fellow again, let alone warm up the decks for him. What an honor!! I was joined by Bryan Kyes on the opening crew, a new edition to the Seattle Trance DJ Fam, and Bryan kicked us off with a classic trance set, and I carried on from there with this, a mixture of euphoric Progressive and Trance, and threw in a little side excursion of some beatsy techno tracks because I was in the mood to hear some driving bass, hope you don’t mind haha!! Anyway, as usual, it was a totally fun night at Ora and the crowd was amazing and the Anjuna Fam love was in the air. Hope you enjoy the set, and also just a heads-up that I am pretty far along on the next iteration of the "White Label Trance Classics" series, # 4, hoping to record it this weekend.. And lastly, I'm excited to be opening for rising Japanese big room Trance star, the absolutely lovely, RINALY, at Ora Nightclub on May 20th, so be looking for that one later this month.. Cheers!! -Mark a.k.a. Gotek

Opening set for SUNNY LAX, Ora Nightclub, Seattle, April 29th, 2023

On Friday, May 19th, I recorded a demo set of some dreamy, relaxing proggy stuff that I have been listening to and collecting for the past couple months, literally to upload to dropbox so I could listen to it in the backyard BBQ’ing on a beautiful, early summer evening haha, the night before the Rinaly show at Ora, which was last Saturday (AND, a totally awesome time!!! My set should also be uploaded sometime soon). I actually did try to record this once before several weekends before that but I didn’t like a few things about it and cut the recording off midway through, but this time it turned out pretty cool, so I thought I would share. Just a random hodge-podge of beautiful tracks that make me feel a certain special way, kind of happy/sad, but hopeful, and I hope it gives you the same feeling. Cheers!! -Mark a.k.a. Gotek

Hey guys! Well, I’ve been working in the background on this next iteration of the “White Label” Classic Trance series, number 5, for the past month or so, and every time I record another one of these I worry whether I’ll have enough good material that will continue to motivate me to keep mixing these, and once again I re-reminded myself that there’s no shortage of amazing tracks that were produced pre 2010-ish, which is where I wanted to draw the line to keep this more about “classic” and “yesteryear” theme for the series. In fact, out of the 15 tracks on this mix I had to narrow that down from about 60 tracks that I still have left in the hopper from my original scan through my collection of the older stuff. Really happy with the way this one turned out, and I re-reminded myself about some of the hidden gems that I’ve totally forgotten about, like the Photon Project Remix of Andain’s “Beautiful Things”, that’s from 2003!!! I wouldn’t have been surprised if that was a brand new release, what an incredible remix of that track and from TWENTY years ago, and most people probably never even heard it. I also got to mix up a “dream team” list of some of my all-time FAVE vintage instrumental Uplifting Trance tracks, all back-to-back, like “Desert Eagle, “Northern Lights”, “Chime”, and “Aurora”, all on one mix, it’s almost TOO much Trance goodness in one mix, but I did it anyway.. I hope you’ll forgive me haha. I almost fainted from the adrenaline rush while playing those tracks together, such incredible memories and amazingly spine-tingly tracks, not to mention so many others, “Velvet Morning”, “Hold On To Me”, “Bass Society”, “Air for Life”, and I’ll never forget hearing Paul Oakenfold playing “Nice Guys Finish Last” but at a much faster speed, and was amazed that it was actually an amazing Trance track when played faster… And all the way from 1999, the iconic Fragma, and of course, “Gamemaster”, with the timeless famale vocal that helps me so vividly imagine our beautiful planet Earth a million years ago, so pure and untainted by mankind, so much awesomeness… Anyway, I’ll shut up an let you listen, and BTW, I will be opening for one of the artists on this mix, JOHN ASKEW, in July, so really looking forward to that one, definitely a bucket-lister for me haha. Hope you enjoy the mix as much as I did playing it, and until next time, Cheers!! -Mark a.k.a. Gotek

Premiere: Rinzen, Oscar Rodriguez - Finale [This Never Happened]

Please, have a seat on the operating table. The Doctor is in, and the procedure is about to begin. 🩺 Welcome to the laboratory of OZONE, a sterile, forgotten chamber where sound is dissected, analyzed, and reanimated. Dressed in a stained lab coat, with hair the color of chemical reactions, she is a surgeon of sonics, a scientist of rhythm. Her tools are not scalpels and saws, but faders and jog wheels. Her experiment: to locate the soul within the soundwave and bring it to life.

The room is cold and clinical, a relic from a time of crude medical procedures. The tiled walls have seen things you can only imagine, and the air still holds the metallic tang of fear. But tonight, a new kind of operation is taking place. OZONE stands over her decks with the precision and focus of a surgeon. Her hands move with steady, practiced grace, making incisions into the silence, grafting beats together, and transplanting melodies. 🧪 This is not a performance; it is a clinical trial.

The music is as precise and unnerving as the environment. It's a form of industrial techno that is both minimalist and complex. You'll hear the clean, sharp cuts of a scalpel in the hi-hats, the steady, rhythmic beep of a heart monitor in the kick drum, and the chilling hum of life-support machines in the ambient drones. 🔬 This is a deep exploration of the anatomy of a beat, stripping it down to its bare essentials and then building it back up into something new, something monstrously beautiful.

You are not a patient, but a test subject, willingly submitting yourself to this auditory experiment. Let her rewire your neural pathways and recalibrate your senses. This is music that gets under your skin, that makes you question the boundary between organic and synthetic. Are you ready for your treatment? Don't be afraid. The Doctor knows exactly what she's doing. This is Surgical Sound. 🧬

Seattle's Mark McCarthy a.k.a. DJ Gotek emerged out of the exploding Electronic Dance Music scene in the Pacific Northwest over the past decade+, and has held residencies at some of the hottest DJ clubs in the NW such as The Underground, Club Contour, and Foundation Nightclub in Seattle and Whiskey Bar in Portland, and also has played at an ever growing list of clubs and venues on the west coast. Specifically noted for his euphoric, uplifting, and melodic Progressive and Trance sets over the past decade, DJ Gotek has found himself being invited to open for some of the world's most prolific and iconic Trance and Progressive DJ/Producers, artists such as Paul van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Cosmic Gate, Sunny Lax, Genix, Solarstone, 4 Strings, Aly & Fila, ARTY, Ilan Bluestone, Super8 & Tab, Omnia, Ronski Speed, Orjan Nilson, Roger Shah, Chicane, The Blizzard, Lange, Daniel Kandi, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Gareth Emery, MYON, Max Graham, Andy Moor, Richard Durand, Bobina, Stoneface & Terminal, John OO Fleming, Simon Doty, Dezza, the list grows ever longer.. DJ Gotek always strives to create a feeling of euphoria with his mixes which are consistently heavy on the dreamlike and spine-tingly electronic sounds, regardless of which genre he’s playing in; Mark’s passion is to move people by bringing the very best in in Trance and Progressive to his audiences, and hopefully it shines through in the mixes he creates.

Note: Mark only uses AIFF lossless quality tracks mostly purchased at Beatport.com (except for producer demos). All mixes were either recorded live in the club or directly from Mark's gear (DJM A9 Mixer, 2 Pioneer CDJ3000's) recorded on a Zoom H4n Pro in WAV format, then professionally sound leveled post-recording, Voice ID Tagged, and  converted to MP3 by Chris Dececio Studios in the UK. EVERY single mix on Mark's Soundcloud was recorded live and in the moment on top-notch Pioneer DJ gear, not mixed with computer software, so they might not be exactly perfect 100% of the time, but they are "real", which is a standard of mix quality, authenticity, care, passion for live mixing, and DJ integrity Gotek is proud of. =)
