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

“White Label” a Classic Trance demo mix: 005, recorded live June 14th, 2023

This is "Part 2" B2B opening set from Friday, July 7th, where I was incredibly honored to be on the opening roster for a UK Trance Legend, JOHN ASKEW, at Ora Seattle!!! Once again, I was able to join my dear buddy from Portland, Zoxy, behind the decks for a B2B ("back-to-back") set, and we had the distinct honor of handing off the decks to John Askew, whom both Zoxy and I had been a fan of since the very early days of Trance in the 90’s. I am calling this set “Part 2” because I had already played for an hour before this with another great DJ buddy of mine, Eric Weber, a.k.a. WEB for an unplanned B2B set to open the club. We were filling in for another DJ who was not feeling well that night unfortunately, but it was a unique opportunity to play for 2 hours and kick off the night with a cool progressive set with Eric, then ratchet it all the way up to 138 BPM’s to get the club heated up for John Askew, which was a lot of fun. It was an amazing evening of incredible music, and the crowd of Trance fans there to see John Askew was SO much fun to play for.. For this one, Zoxy and I played a mixture of some brand-new releases, as well as a few older, more vintage Trance Choones from yesteryear, and I even busted out “Call The Galaxy Taxi” by Plastic Angel, such a classic from the early 2000’s that sounded SOOO awesome on the club sound system, and we had the dance floor jumping up and down a few times. Anyway, incredible night, and once again, being able to hand off to John Askew was a true honor. Hope you enjoy the set, and if you like the classic Trance vibes, make sure keep your eye out for a new edition of the White Label classic Trance series that should hopefully have up here in a few weeks. Cheers! Mark a.k.a. Gotek

On Friday, September 22nd, I was honored to open for rising ASOT & Anjuna star, Dutch Trance and Progressive artist, Laura Van Dam. This show was called “Vivid Presents a Vue Takeover feat. Laura Van Dam with DEPTH & Friends”, so it was at a new Seattle club for me that I hadn’t ever been to before, and it was amazing!! This was also my very first time playing for Vivid Presents, so it was a super great honor for me to be the primary opener spot and hand off the decks to Laura herself!! On top of everything else, it was Laura’s birthday too, so it was a party. As mentioned, this was my first time at Vue Lounge, and the club was packed, even when I showed up at 9:30pm, and by the time I went on there was such a magical Trance Fam vibe going on, so many smiling faces and people dancing, arms in the air. They had the DJ booth kind of right there on the dance floor, so you were right there with the people, which was an interesting and invigorating experience to be out in the open like that. Vue had three stages going on, what a neat venue with a totally different vibe at each room, but amazing DJ’s at each with different varieties of hard techno and electro house. Laura was super humble and sweet and it was such an honor to meet and hand the decks off her, and her set was totally fun to dance to. It was also fun to share this adventure with my two fellow opener DJ buddies, Isabel Rose and Bryan Kyes, who also played some killer supporting Trance sets. I was really happy with the way this set turned out and there were so many great prog-trance tracks that just released from some of my main go-to Trance Fave producers, such as Dan Stone, Nitrous Oxide, David Broaders, Kyau & Albert, Darren Tate, Aimoon, and more.. I was like a kid in a candy shop and I was able to cram 14 tracks into 1 hour haha. Such a cool night, thank you so much to Vivid for having me out to spin some Trance!!! Anyway, hope you enjoy the set... Cheers!! -Mark, a.k.a. Gotek

Hey guys, this is the latest iteration of my Progressive demo set series, called "October Prog".  I aspire to have this be a monthly podcast release, doesn't always work out that way with work and other "life" things that get in the way time-wise, not to mention that I am extremely picky about track selection for these sets, which can sometimes be hit-or-miss. However, I am very happy with the way this one turned out, and there are SO many great tracks on this mix. I just recently went to Japan on vacation for 10 days and was hoping to get this one done before I left. I recorded a version of it however it wasn't quite ready, but I listened to it a ton while in Japan, and as soon as I got back, I made some changes, even swapped out a few tracks with some new gems that released while I was abroad, and ended up with this. I'll have my Uplifting Trance opening set from the GANESH show uploaded next, and I'll also be opening for Irish Trance DJ/Producer, Billy Gillies, on November 17th at Ora, which I am really excited about. Anyway, this mix has pretty much been on constant rotation for my daily playlist, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I had fun recording it!! BTW, the photo is one I took during my Japan trip, from a botanical garden in Kobe called “Herb Garden” which was this really neat place that you had to take a gondola ride up to and then hike down the long trails of flowers and herbs. It’s not necessarily an “October-ish” photo I suppose, but it was taken during October, so that will have to be good enough haha. Cheers! -Mark, a.k.a. Gotek

On Saturday, December 23rd, I was honored to be the direct opening support for on of my all-time Fave Trance artists, Hungarian DJ/record producer, early pioneer in Trance, and beloved ANJUNA superstar, Levente Márton, better known by his stage name, SUNNY LAX. This was my 4th time opening for Levente, for which I sometimes have to  pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming haha… For this particular show I was asked if I wanted the gig, and I heart-breakingly had to decline the offer because it was the day before Christmas Eve, and I was traveling to Portland, OR, that weekend to spend the Christmas holiday with my family. But thankfully, the promoter checked back one more time after I had time to think about it, so I cut my Portland trip a day short and did the show anyway. I am really glad that I did, because that night was truly a magical experience. First of all, Levente is such a dear, sweet guy and he always remembers me and gives me a big hug when he comes on stage, and he’s just such a laid back, gool dude, and so fun and inspirational for me to watch perform live. And secondly, the crowd that night was just amazing – I was worried that it might be a slow night because of the holiday weekend, but Sunny always brings them in like moths to the flame, and the club was packed with so many cool, happy people, truly in the holiday spirit and Anjunafam vibes were definitely flowing freely!! I had a lot of fun playing this set, and the tracks just seemed to flow together, with some incredible, m spine-tingly new releases, as well as a couple brand new remixes of HUGE classics, like the Ginchy Mix of Reflekt’s “Need To Feel Loved”, and the brand-new Nitrous Oxide remix of Mirco De Govia “Voller Sterne”, which the original is one of my favorite tracks of all-time. Anyway, as usual, I hope that you enjoy the set as much as I loved playing it, and keep your eye our for a new Progressive demo mix that I’ve been teasing for quite a while, as well as my set from the New Years party at Opaline in Portland, which I just returned home from today, such a blast!! Cheers, and Happy New Year!!! -Mark a.k.a. Gotek

Summer Melodies on DI.FM - January 2024 with myni8hte (New Year Special)

On Sunday, December 31st, I was thrilled to have been invited back down to Portland, Oregon, to play a New Year’s Eve 2024 Trance Party at Opaline Nightclub, for the 2nd year in a row!! Opaline is a neat, kind of intimate little club in the heart of the NW “Old Town” district of downtown Portland, and it was a total blast to be down there again spinning some Trance with my old DJ buddies from yesteryear; Zoxy, Scott Vorel, and Tim Clang, guys from the old “Mission Trance” days when I had a once-a-month residency at the “Whiskey Bar” in Portland for a few years, over a decade ago.. Whiskey Bar has sadly since closed down during COVID, and ironically, I had to walk by the boarded up building where it once was, to get to Opaline, I could still feel the energy and almost hear the Oonz Oonz Oonz coming out of there like the old days, a lot of fond memories and ghosts from a better time emanating from within. As soon as I found out that my set time was from 12am to 1am, starting right after the New Year’s Champaign Toast at Midnight, I immediately knew that I needed to kick off the set with the CLASSIC “Moonlight Party” by Fonzerelli, to get a bit of that early nostalgic Tiesto “In Search of Sunrise” vibe, and to set up the total party mood to keep people dancing and on the dance floor. From there, I just decided to keep it all Classics, and played a smattering of some of my very favorite tracks, ranging from 2005 to 2016, but mostly centered around the early 20-teens, to align with that magical era when I was playing the Mission Trance at the Whiskey Bar in Portland and Foundation in Seattle, when there were SOOOOO many incredible Progressive Trance tracks coming out back then. Anyway, the DJ coming on after me took some extra time coming up to the DJ booth so I got to sneak in a few extra tracks past my 1-hour time slot, and also I ratcheted it up to some Uplifting Trance at the end, which was fun. Also, this set was RECORDED LIVE directly from the mixer at the club, and unfortunately the first track got cut off on the recording a bit.. Oh well.. But the rest turned out pretty great and I hope you enjoy this collection of some of my very favorite tracks and relive that New Year’s Eve with me. Cheers, and happy 2024 everyone!! ~ Mark, a.k.a. Gotek

Guest set for ”New Years Eve 2024 at Opaline”, Recorded LIVE on Sunday, December 31st, 2023

On Sunday, January 21st, I recorded this, the next iteration of my Progressive House demo series, which I do every once in a while, when I feel like mixing but I don’t have any good shows coming up that match the music, yet meanwhile the flow of incoming tracks is just too great to ignore.. So, Viola!! Demo Set time haha.. Since I got tired of trying to think of clever new names for each demo set, I’ve just been calling them the month they were recorded in, followed by “Prog”, like “October Prog” late last year. But moving forward, I am going to call them a very generic “Prog Sessions”, because that’s what they are, even though everyone else also uses that same boring naming convention already haha. So, welcome to the January edition of Prog Sessions, the first of the New Year. And truth be known, I’ve been working on this one for an embarrassingly long time, and have actually recorded it several times before last Sunday, but they were never quite the right mix of tracks. I always have a rule for these things, and that is, would I want to listen to it multiple times myself. If the answer is yes, then I have a keeper (usually).. But if the answer is no, I keep on working on it. I figure that I need to make these things for myself first, make something that I love deeply, and hopefully if I get it right, other people might get some joy out of it too. So, with this one, I really now like the blend of Progressive House and Progressive Trance, some more deep and moody, and some more funky and Housey, with the common denominator of emotional and melodic undercurrent throughout. I almost think this one has a theme of “Love Sickness”, with the happy epiphanies of joy, followed by the moments of sadness or depression of longing for someone that maybe doesn’t notice you or like you back in the same way, but I’ll let you be the judge haha. Anyway, I hope you like the mix!! Cheers!!! ~ Mark a.k.a. Gotek PS: BTW, I took that photo in Kona, Hawaii, last Dec, so lovely!!

“Prog Sessions, Jan 2024 Edition” a progressive house demo mix, recorded live January 21st , 2024

On Saturday, February 10th, 2024, I was extremely honored to find myself back behind the decks as an opening DJ for none other than Mr. “Perfecto” himself; world-renown, globe-trotting Trance pioneer and early EDM influencer, PAUL OAKENFOLD, at ORA, Seattle!! Paul’s album “Tranceport” was my very first Trance CD in 1998 and will always be one of my very favorite live-mixed Trance sets and what really sparked my soon-to-be hardcore obsession with Trance from that moment forward. This dapper fellow was even bestowed an honorary award from Queen Elizabeth on behalf of the British Empire as a “Pioneer of the Nation” for his contributions to dance music. I opened, along with rising star DJ, Sloane Motion, as the local support, and Paul has his own label opener “BLKLGHT”. I was 2nd DJ on and was super excited to see that the club was pretty full when I started, and by the time I reached the halfway point of my set the dancefloor was packed with the smiling faces of Trance fans, hands in the air, so it was a total blast. This set was so much fun to play and I was able to cram in 15 tracks of mostly instrumental Progressive Trance, so it’s a really cool, euphoric journey through sound and I received a ton of compliments from people in the audience once I came down off the stage, which is always a fantastic feeling to get that kind of real-time positive feedback on something I had put a lot of work into preparing for. Anyway, here it is, and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed playing it!! Lastly, I just played again last weekend down at Opaline Nightclub in Portland for a local DJ’s Trance night, and that was also a lot of fun and I should have that set also uploaded here for streaming shortly. Cheers!! Mark a.k.a. Gotek

Anjunabeats Worldwide 635 with Judah

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. =)

Opening set for SUNNY LAX, Ora, Sat, December 23rd, 2023
