Destination Sunshine (A Voyage Into Trance) 080 (Mixed By Divine) (15-06-2021)

20 Years ago I released Missing M, a twisted love story of loss, euphoria and joy. Recorded in Huntington Beach under my alias Transit, this trance based set has had a special place in my heart beyond the nostalgia, especially the first 20 minutes. Recorded on vinyl, notice tracks 2 and 3 constantly overlapping to smooth the blend. While it's not perfect, was a good gauge where I was technically. Hope you enjoy!

Just Get Back - Indoctrinate

Feeling You - Indoctrinate

For my top listener of 2021, Calvin G. from Texas requested a culmination of Poem for Paz and Tormented. Renegade brings a fusion of Psy, Acid, Trance, Hard Techno, Hard Style and UK Hard House. At 140-145BPM, Renegade is hard charging, banging, and somehow melodic at times, this set is packed with dark driving energy. Definitely a peak-time rave/warehouse set.

For Calvin with love! Thanks for all your support!

About Espacio:

Commissioned in 2023 by top listener Calvin G., Espacio is part two of a series inspired by the exploration of space and also The Crystal Method's "High Roller” as a reference track.

Jess originally created "Last Night on Earth" as part one in the series which is about an astronaut romanticizing about their upcoming launch to space. This euphoric journey explores their dreams and potential difficulties the would encounter with a blissful return home.

The follow up “Espacio” is about the realities and complications of space travel. From the start, Espacio launches you into orbit to experience dark euphoria but quickly encounters some unexpected visitors that show this traveler the depths of space never scene before. Pushing the voyage to its limits with danger, thrill, and the unexpected.

This set spans many genres breaking sound barriers!

How Deep Is Your Love

Beatport

Calvin Harris & Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love (Chris Lake Remix)

Kicking spring off with a desert party / psytrance Inspired set and infused with breaks, trance, and some old anthems spanning three decades. 

Retrospective is the first of a series to pay homage to amazing tracks of yesterday. Volume I is heavily inspired by the Moonshine label and its great artists such as Brian Seed and John Kelley that helped create the desert party scene of Southern California, WAY before Burning Man. If you had a chance to experience Dune, Orion, or any of the Moontribe parties, you know what I'm talking about. It also includes epic tracks from Transa, L.S.G., Liquid Art, and Underworld.

A big thank you to Brian Seed and John Kelley! Your artistry has forever shaped how I would view music and to paint sets as a journey. I highly recommend Hardesertrance and Funkydesertrance series if you haven't heard them previously. Timeless classics!

Enjoy!

Retrospective Vol I

Retrospective - Vol I - April 2017 Promo Mix - Desert Rave, PsyTrance, Trance & Breaks Set

Subliminal Cuts - Le Voie Le Soleil (Das Carma Edit) [ILL005]

Tribal / Techhouse / TechTrance: The concept and inspiration of this mix came from my vision of primitive cultures dancing in late night tribal ritualism. Slightly breaking away from my normal format, I wanted to emphasize heavy percussion and bass instead of trancey synth lines, but still somewhat melodic. Just a little project I've wanted to do for some time : )

ENJOY!

Primal - September 2010 Promo Mix - Tribal, TechHouse, & TechTrance

Break out the Nordic Track! Getting back to my roots (Transit) and dusting off some goodies from the vault,  we journey way back through time for this second edition in the Retrospective series to experience an epic Classic Trance set.

Years: 1995 - 2003

Kicking off with deep underground track from Gabriel Masurel “Entropie”, this massive Psytrance opener took me years to find and was able to obtain the vinyl copy. I always wanted to use this track in something but it was stolen years ago. This set quickly shifts gears into some epic anthem trance songs from Trinity Sight, Anomaly, Tiesto, Humate (PVD Remix), L.S.G., Sundance, Eruption, Gouryella (Ferry Corsten & Tiesto), and finally Moonman (Ferry Corsten).

Retrospeective Vol 2 - Classic Trance

Retrospective Vol 2 - Classic Trance - December 2018 Promo Mix

This marks the last set for 2018 and kicking off 2019 with some MASSIVE trance classics for new years! This set is STACKED with some of my favorite big progressive builders of all time. 

Years: 1998 - 2002

This journey is fueled tracks by Moogwai, Cass & Slide, Nerva, Agnelli & Nelson, Blackwatch, Dogzilla, Oliver Lieb, L.S.G., and finally and epic track by Badlands. 

Happy New Year everyone and may you have good health, good fortune, and great life experiences!

Future Dates:
May 1, 2026- Lotus Full Moon Gathering - San Diego 

Son to an outlaw and raised in the undercurrents of Los Angeles, Jess Van Ness has always gravitated toward the fringes of society. After years of traveling the world and absorbing underground cultures across continents, Jess is now based in San Diego—continuing to channel that global influence into his art. 

His earliest obsessions were with music that lived in the shadows: the rebellion of punk rock, the raw edge of industrial, the haunting textures of dark wave. Even in the ‘80s, when he was breakdancing on concrete floors, rhythm was already a way of bending reality and defying the ordinary.

By the time the ‘90s rave movement erupted, Jess was immersed in it—captivated not just by the beats but by the way DJs sculpted experiences that transcended the dancefloor. In 1999 he stepped behind the decks himself, cutting his teeth under the alias Transit, channeling the fierce energy of Hard Trance, Euphoric Trance, Tech Trance, Goa, and NRG. It was never about recognition—it was about devotion to sound, movement, and the underground.

His restless creativity soon pushed further. From 2000 to 2006, Jess ran Electrofusion Radio, an internet pirate station broadcasting the pulse of the underground to whoever could find the signal. His palette expanded into progressive and organic grooves, dark techno, raw breaks, drum and bass, and psychedelic trance. Genres became tools, not boundaries. Each set unfolded like a labyrinth: dark yet hypnotic, primal yet refined, industrial yet human.

An introvert at heart, Jess lets the music speak louder than spectacle. Two decades later, he remains deeply committed to the underground, carrying that ethos forward as a founder of Lotus Moon Gatherings.

For Jess, there are no limits, no gimmicks, no ego—only the alchemy of sound, mystery, and the unspoken connection between DJ and dancer. Never bound by genre and always guided by energy and emotion, his sets are hypnotic odysseys: enigmatic, layered, and deeply human.
