Trancefest 2021 was an epic return gig after Covid-19. Great to see so many people experiencing a little bit of normality once again after so long.

William Daniel LIVE at Trancefest 2021 - SWG3 [18/9/2021]

Colleen D'Agostino's track 'Stay' is one of my favorite vocal tracks of all time and something that I've been wanting to remix for several years. I've always had an affinity for Break-beats from my obsession in early Hardcore Rave music. 

Toying around with some Break-beat loops provided a whole different dimension to the original composition, whilst retaining all of the emotion that made Stay such a special track in the first place. 

I hope you enjoy this Free Download.

Cheers,

William 💫

William Daniel LIVE @ 2001 in 69 Below - Glasgow, Scotland (25/6/16)

A mix containing one of the first styles of music that I learned to mix with on Vinyl: Hardcore from the 1990's. Music from this era will always have a fond place in my heart, and I will always cherish the memories and the time spent tracking down these tunes on Vinyl back in the days before the Internet and Social Media. 

Tracks from Charly Lownoise & Mental Theo, 4 Tune Fairytales, Mindtrust, Diss Reaction, DJ Alex, Paul Elstak, Stunned Guys and more. 

Enjoy the Music.

DJ Willie Dee's Classic 1990's Hardcore Mix

During the Pandemic, I was lucky enough to be asked to be involved in doing a Live-stream for the team who are raising funds for the British Heart Foundation Charity.

For this mix, I wanted to play some of the anthems from the early 1990s that always reminded me of Tom Wilson. I also wanted to play them on Vinyl, the way that they would have been played back then.

If you enjoy this mix and can spare a few pounds in these challenging times, please donate to the British Heart Foundation in memory of Tom Wilson at http://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/djtomwilson

Forgotten Moments 009 [August 2022]

Edinburgh has always been a city I've been fond of and some of my most memorable gigs in Scotland have been there over the past 20 years. From Nuklearpuppy, Xposure and some massive events such as Godskitchen, Tiesto, EH1 and Fantasylands at the Royal Highland Center at Ingliston.

This was my first time playing for Magnetic and my first time playing the Biscuit Factory. A great venue which really had an authentic warehouse vibe. It was a great night with a knowlegable crowd who really knew their tunes. I highly recommend that you check out their forthcoming events for a good night out in Edinburgh.

The set comprises of some of my favorite tunes from the days of the Arches with some brand new material. 

Enjoy the music.

Magnetic Velocity 2.0 at The Biscuit Factory Edinburgh [12/11/22]

‘I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited…’

The PopCulture Trance mix of Adele's 'Someone Like You' was made over a decade ago exclusively for my set at the last Inside Out event at the Arches in Glasgow on April 2011. This caused quite a stir on several forums [Remember them?] back in the day as many 'Purists' disliked any form of Trance that covered Popular / Chart music. 

It's funny how times and music have shifted with many Artists are now playing sets that are predominantly Trance reworks of Chart music.

Nevertheless, I thought I'd put this up for Free DL once more as I still get requests for it to this day. 

Cheers,

William 💫

Adele - Someone Like You [PopCulture Trance Mix] Free Download

Having the opportunity to play the music that I truly love in my all time favourite venue, was something I never thought would happen ever again. 🙌

Each of these tunes mean so much to me and bring back some of my best memories ❤️

This is a recording of my Solo set which was earlier on in the night. 

It was a huge honour and privilege to go B2B with my bro Colin Hamilton in such a legendary venue was a memory that I’ll never ever forget, probably the most fun I’ve ever had Djing in several years. . 🙏 


Till next time? 💫

William Daniel Surprise DJ Set X The Arches Glasgow [11/6/23]

This was my third year playing at Trancefest and this was my favourite edition yet. I had the best time and it was great to see the Vinyl Arena fill up so quickly with it being at capacity during my set. 

It was awesome to spin these tunes out again on a set of 1210s in a club environment. I had a bit of trouble with the monitors as it was the opening set so the mixing is pretty raw as you would come to expect with Vinyl however, I hope this doesn’t detract your enjoyment of the mix.

Tracklist:

1. Sarah McLauglan - World on Fire (Junkie XL Remix) [Nettwerk Records]
2. Whiteroom - The Whiteroom [Dancelabel Promo]
3. Sarah McLauglan - Fallen (Gabriel & Dresden Anti-Gravity Remix) [Arista Records]

8. Armin Van Buuren - Shivers [Armada]
9. Tillman Uhrmacher - On The Run (Ocean To Shore Mix) [Fog Area Records]
10. Tiesto - Just Be (Antillas Remix) [Black Hole Recordings]
11. Dee Dee - Forever (Pulsar Remix) [Incentive Records]
12. Masters & Nickson - Out There (5th Dimension) [Armada Records]

Cheers,

William :)

William Daniel Live at Trancefest 2023 X SWG3 Glasgow Vinyl Arena [07-10-23]

You’re Not Alone by Olive is one of my favourite tunes of all time. I have fond memories of hearing this out in all its various forms over several years of clubbing & DJing. 💥

Here is my spin on it and it’s a no-holds barred Hard-Techno interpretation coming in at a nifty 150BPM. 😮‍💨

I know it’s been a while since there have been new Fu2ra productions but I can assure you that there’s loads more stuff to come in 2024. 🔥

I’m looking forward to getting more new music out there shortly. 💫

Forgotten Moments 011 - One More Tune! [November 2023]

Here is a copy of my set from the One More Tune event which was held on the 23rd December 2023. 

I had the honor of being one of the guests for the Official Pre-Party at Vega which was on before the main event at the Arches. It was a wicked event that was full to Capacity and was the perfect start to what was sure to be an emotional return to the Arches venue for so many people, including myself.

This set comprises tunes from all of the main Artists who were playing and also contains some of the biggest tracks that I rinsed during my Residencies at the Arches for both >>Inside Out* and Colours, who I still regularly play for today. 

One More Tune was a truly special event and brought back so many memories for everyone who was there, and I would love to do it all again in 2024. 

I hope you enjoy this mix, as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

William Daniel x One More Tune Official PreParty x [23-12-2023]

I recently came across an old hard drive and found a tonne of my mixes from the late 1990's. 

For those who may not know, before the Internet was the thing that it was now, several Glasgow DJs [Including Myself] used to be heavily involved in Pirate Radio stations.

I have great memories of playing Happy Hardcore Vinyl 5 nights a week on a set of Technics 1210's for several hours, while taking hundreds of shout outs from listeners in Glasgow.

Enjoy,

William  💫

William Daniel - Happy Hardcore Vinyl Guilty Pleasures [1998]

Forgotten Moments 012 [December 2023]

This is a live recording of my GBX guest mix for our Barry Connell 10th year anniversary tribute night which was held on the 12th May 2018 at SWG3 in Glasgow.

Bryan Kearney, David Forbes, Paul Webster, Shan, Stewart Green and More all featured on the bill.

It was an awesome night and we raised thousands of pounds for Meningitis Now. A great charity which is still really close to my heart after all these years.

William Daniel x Barry Connell Tribute x Clyde 1 GBX Radio Guest Mix [5th May 2018]

Coloursfest 2012 was my 2nd time playing in the main arena at Braehead for Colours.

I found this on an old Hard-drive while I was consolidating all of my Digital music collection, so thought I’d share. 

From memory there are tracks from Ummet Ozcan, Reflekt, W&W, Rank 1 & Jochen Miller, Tritonal, Above & Beyond & more.

Crazy how time flies. 

Catch you all at Colours 29th Birthday party on Feb 3rd 2024 at SWG3.

Enjoy the music 🙌

William 💫

William Daniel x Coloursfest Festival Main Arena x Braehead Glasgow [June 2012]

Lucky number 13 as they say 🍀

Washing away those January blues with this edition of Forgotten Moments. I was booked to play in the Emerald Isle of Ireland for the Adrenaline Sessions afterparty at Here & Now in Dublin. Unfortunately the set wasn't recorded however, this episode contains most of what I played with a few extra tracks thrown into the mix. 🙌

I haven't played over in Dublin for several years, and it really lived up-to my expectations. It was great to meet some new and old faces, hopefully I'll be back over soon.  🇮🇪

I will also be announcing something very special in 2024 soon, so keep your eyes peeled. 👀

Much Love ❤️

William. 💫

Forgotten Moments 013 x Adrenaline Sessions Afterparty x Dublin [January 2024]

Gigs like that don’t come around that often. Originally, when I heard that I was on at the same time as Kimmic, I was skeptical about just how many people would still be left in the Trance room. Thankfully, the room was packed  for the majority of the night and it was a complete roadblock for my set. 

Always humbled and honoured by the support of my home crowd and you guys have never let me down in all the years I’ve been DJing. Hopefully that made up in part for the postponed Colours 29th Birthday gig. I’ll see you all there on the 2nd March 2024 at SWG3 in Glasgow. 

Much love ❤️

William 💫

William Daniel x Kimmic & Friends Free Party x Classic Grand [03/02/2024]

Many years ago before the rise of social media there was a mix that was uploaded to various Forums such as TranceAddict and Trance.Nu by a member called BlackPlasma entitled the History of Trance.

After all these years it’s still one of my favourite mixes of all time. It was originally released in 3 parts due to it being over 8 hours long and the limitations of internet upload speeds back then. 

Thankfully I have found the original file and have merged all 3 parts together so you can enjoy it in all of it’s entirety, it really is a true journey throughout every single trance classic from the early 1990s to the mid 2000s. 

No one really knew who exactly BlackPlasma was with many speculating that it was a massive name such as PVD, Ferry or Armin due to how well the mix was executed. 

Highly recommend you listen to this if you love Trance as much as I do. 

Mix by the elusive Black Plasma aka Oleg Mosin.
