Thanks for posting this another amazing @djsolitare set along with the set list. Among several others I am glad to discover "Earth Nation: An Artificial Dream (Hallucinogen remix)" -- a beautiful track.

"As I tuned into the more hypnotic and nighttime storyline that emerged as this set evolved, I was drawn to more of that atmospheric cloud-like mixing style, where one track dances with the next along harmonic, rhythmic, and upper-register elements as opposed to the bass-level kick." I am giving a more attentive listen to study this set in the light of your write up and I think this transition right here (22:15) is a great example of what you describe above.

I remember listening to the Matsuri, TIP and Blue Room albums around 96/97 - totally mesmerised by each track start to finish ... ''some thoughts, of a certain sound'' .... this mix brings it back - thank you!!!

A bit about the inspiration for this mix - the full text and the tracklist are at https://djsolitare.com/old-dogs-new-tricks

I recall an amazing Equinox event in the Autumn of 1995 where Kuni played the whole night and the impression was that a cloud of quantum information would enter the dance floor in the middle of the forest and when it had communicated its message, another would come in and take its place as the old one left, and there was a moment to catch your breath and adjust to the new data entering the space. At times during these events, one had the impression that the music was not music, it was geometrical design and information that was communicating in sonic form. There wasn’t the sense that the DJ was a ‘DJ’ playing ‘music’: rather, the DJ booth was like a cosmic radio tower with an antenna tuned into outer space, picking up signals and transmitting them to those gathered in this tribal gathering.

Each time I play a set, the type of storyline and style of tracks are different, and my approach to transitions depends on track selection and how things line up, though there are general parameters that I always aim for. As a result of my classical training, my emphasis when mixing has been to try to connect more than just the kick but to find matching patterns between tracks and to blend those to create a thread of continuity beyond the percussive elements, at times with kick-matching and at other times not. Usually, it’s a combination of the two, but keeping the rhythm consistent and aiming to have one track ‘hand over’ the space to the next one in a less conventional sense, like multiple speakers reading different chapters from a book that one absorbs through the set.

As I tuned into the more hypnotic and nighttime storyline that emerged as this set evolved, I was drawn to more of that atmospheric cloud-like mixing style, where one track dances with the next along harmonic, rhythmic, and upper-register elements as opposed to the bass-level kick. As I listened with headphones, I was able to let go of the technical focus of the ‘mixing' of two ‘tracks’ and rekindle some of those early impressions of this music being more than just music but combinations of patterns gathered together and presented through sound waves, hearing things not in left-right, high-low mode but all-at-once, like voices coming both from the speakers and the centre of one’s head.

I believe that as we have gotten used to listening to this music at clubs and events over the years, many of us have adapted to a sense-based linear perception of what we’re hearing as opposed to a more embodied dimensional experience, and we can easily listen with a set of standards that can be mechanical rather than holistically musical. I know this has been the case for me, and listening at home can have its pitfalls, as you get used to hearing the music outside of the contextual space for which it was created, and on speakers whose size are inverse proportion to your body than what they would be at an event. But in the right outer and inner space, we can hear these sounds beyond the framework of the familiar and as an expression of something quite outside the ordinary.

All of us experienced some magic in our early years of attending these events - and sometimes since, too! - and it is my hope that these classic tracks in this storyline will enable some of those to be rekindled as they have for me.

Cydonia producer set at ZNA Gathering 2022

full old school madness 155 bpm dj set by master Simon!

Simon Posford – Live on radio 106.8fm Moscow 1998

The 3rd mix in the Supertrance series, aiming to recreate the feeling of the magic mixtapes by Mark Allen and Tsyuoshi Suzuki and others that everyone copied and listened to 24/7 back in the day, when the music was new, fresh, wonderful, inspiring and life-changing. The 90 (-ish) minute format is the same length as cassette mixtapes, who usually were 45x2 minutes long.

This mix features music from 1993, 1994 and 1995 and has some perhaps less well known names, as well as the big pioneers of psychedelic trance. It's a fairly eclectic mix that goes up and down and every track has its own story.
