I took a much more organic, chilled out approach to both of these tracks and felt they had to be released together.

Writing music is much more than a creative process, it is a means of connection with yourself.

Photonics @ Esoteric 2019 [Sun Temple, Sunrise]

I was given the privilege of transitioning the styles of music at Return To The Source on Sunday Night 10:30pm-11:30pm. The last trance set of the festival before the techno takeover. 
I knew it was going to be a challenge winding down the bpm going into the night and it was going to take all my skills as a DJ to keep the floor alive. So I decided to steere clear of playing my own almost finished productions which I have been doing alot lately and focused on DJing a collection of tracks I thought would fit my intention for the transition at a time when the bpm usually pumps up.
Im super happy with how it went down, the response and vibe held were more than I could have imagined. 
This upload is in MP3 format for a quick direct download from Soundcloud.

140bpm -> 131bpm 

> Allay - Black Sands

Battlecry

This mix is slightly different to my usual harder hitting sound. Its a sound which I hold very close to my heart, a sound that would change my relationship forever with music.
This sound to me is Organic Progressive Trance. 80% of this mix is from 2005-2015, not all the songs but all of the artists came out of this era. I managed to sneak in an unreleased track of mine which is inspired by the songs in this mix. 
These songs tell me a story, each of them remind me of a special moment Ive had listening to them and they have carried me through the last 10 or so years of my life. This selection is my faviroute trance artists of all time. 

I love this music and Ive put together this studio mix so you can enjoy it too :)

129 - 134 bpm

Vibrasphere - Ensueno (Morning Mix)
Antix - La Lascard
Liquid Soul - Hypnotic Energy (Symphonix Remix)
