BOOKS, BANDS + BANGING TRANCE 

The first in an indulgent series of mixes I’ll be putting out this year, combining my love of books, bands, and banging trance, where I start the show by reading (in my very nicest reading voice) a passage from a book, and then play some songs that (loosely) relate to that book. 

Anything goes in the first half, and then i’ll see us out with a hard n’ hairy trance mix in the 2nd. 

The show is called ROSA CANINA, named after a plant that I read about in Bao Ninh’s ‘The Sorrow of War’. A novel based on the authors 11 years as a soldier in Vietnam. 

In this passage he talks about the ROSA CANINA plant they smoked to alleviate the horrors of war, and it’s psychedelic dream weaving properties.

ROSA CANINA 001

LOSTLEGEND's INTO THE SKY (LOST186) was a standout tune for us in 2023. A beautifully produced, uplifting prog trancer, with a delicate ascending riff, and an ethereal vocal that whispered 'remix me, remix me' every time we heard it. So after a few (loads of) twists and turns, our first musical offering of 2024 is the much anticipated remix package of LOSTLEGENDS's INTO THE SKY (LOST190)

DAVE MOTH (Federation, Hardbody) heads up the package with an 'eavy 154BPM trancer that wouldn't have sounded out of place at Sundissestial Leeds back in the day. Think Ian M's 'Deep Swarm' repeatedly stinging Reflekt's 'Need to Feel Loved', on plus 8. Pass us the poppers, mate. Tough, tight, with zero fat, we're massive fans of Dave's sound, and you'll be hearing more from him as we continue our countdown to LOST200.

Keeping the NRG high, ASTRAL BANDIT (Area 127, FEED) finally make their remix debut on EL-EL, giving the vocal a hardcore twist, and adding an infectious new riff, that is exactly the kind of trance we live for, here. Totally Yugen, and totally worth the wait.

STANDARD FORM had a great 2023 with the release of Tracks in Crimson Dust (LOST181) receiving a huge amount of love and support, alongside releases on Pure Trance and Krafted, and here our fella takes things down an almost Creamer & K / Rapture-esque route, with a techy vibe that perfectly suits the vocal.

Seeing us out is CONNOR WOODFORD who last appeared on EL-EL when he remixed the aforementioned LOST181 to excellent effect. Connor specialises in that pumping VANDIT esque energy, and we've got that here in spades, weaving in a new riff and baseline, that adds a whole new flavour to LOSTLEGEND's original.

EXHIBITION : RAW

A quick singles set celebrating ‘Racket Sports’  release on Lost Language. 

Engaging backhands settle the mix in (Dave Moth, Tinkerhell) but quickly work the opponent’s baseline harder (Sikoti, Ueberrest) pushing them into the corners (Nijssen, Kosbow). Deep volleys (Kineta, Otto K) set up a physical rally for set and match point (Dave Moth, Dominion).
