progressive paths - part ten

Three years ago, around this time of the year I started to take music production more seriously. I met some wonderful people in the scene, and had some great sessions where I learned so many tips and tricks. In 2023 that resulted in my first ever release, together with Magnevi (a.k.a. Julian Del Agranda), on the wonderful Legacy of Trance label. What a moment and milestone. I also worked on some other collabs with an awesome producer (thanks Jack) from Denmark, one of the kindest guys I’ve met, we finished 2 tracks and are also busy with some other tunes! Besides collabs I also want to master mastering myself so I watched many tutorials regarding mastering.

Long story short, this mix contains most of my productions (and some collabs) of the past 3 years. Some fresh tracks, some reworks and an occasional remaster of an old one of myself. Made this mix for my own listening pleasure while on vacation, but it's too nice to keep for myself.

This mix also contains my 2 newest tracks, finished just before my holiday, after years of practising I recently found some kind of mastering mojo, created a kind of template for myself to have all basic sounds always right. Can you guess which tracks these 2 are?

Trance on Vinyl

Two summers ago, I first heard ‘Sunscreen’ in Job Jobse’s Dagen Van Diamant and that synth line, echoing the spirit of a dreamed up Ibiza from the early 2000s, looped endlessly in my ears.

Spray finally released two lovely vocal versions but sadly not the one I kept replaying. Here is ‘Diamond Mix’, a slower and instrumental unofficial version, felt closest to the sound I had in mind.

Born in the hot summer of 1979, I grew up in the center of The Netherlands. At the age of 12 I discovered the wonderful new genre of House music. Still a schoolboy, I used all my pocket money to buy cassette tapes of famous Dutch house compilations like Move The House, Turn up the Bass & House Party. In the following years several new subgenres emerged, in which the melodic ones were my favourites. That means lots of Eurodance, and instead of the popular Dutch Hardcore, I chose for German Rave and Hardtrance. That combination of powerful beats with lots of melodies was golden and formed my music taste.

Some years through genres like Dream House, Club Trance and the famous Pizzicato house followed and the first Trancemaster! CD’s were collected. And then the year 1999 came, I discovered a strange imported English mix compilation called Gatecrasher:Wet
It contained a wonderful combination of trance tracks from all over Europe. At that moment I started to save some money for buying my first turntables. When I bought my first 2 belt drive turntables and a basic mixer a new world opened. The world was far less international so it was quit a challenge to get those gems from abroad. In 2005 this trance addiction was expanded with producing my own tracks with the then brand new FruityLoops software. Exploring all ranges of trance music my production portfolio is very diverse, like all the different music styles I like to play. 

Being a bedroom producer and DJ for many years my collection grew to about 2500 records ranging from deep progressive house to hardtrance. Around 2007/2008 vinyl records stopped being the main medium for electronic music and things were getting all digital. Missing the fun part of buying and spinning part of records, together with a changing sound of trance made that spinning music was not on my highest rank anymore. But although not too active, this was the period that I discovered harmonic mixing, which still forms the base of all my mixes. By combining the harmonies of different tracks, my mixes are full of homemade mash-ups and by using the harmonic mixing wheel I try to make one continuous journey through harmonies.

In these years my turntables and record collection were gathering dust. I still followed the trance scene sideways and made an occasional mix (with Virtual DJ) or track. In 2018 something changed. I decided to go to a trance festival again after 15 years, so me and my friends made a trip to Luminosity Beach Festival 2018. I was overwhelmed by the fact that this scene was so much more alive than I expected. Especially the fact that there were so many DJ’s that still played those classic trance tracks. Inspired by those sets I decided to upload some of my older mixes on my SoundCloud page for all those classic trance lovers. 

In the past 4 years I created my own themes for my mixes, some modern ones but lots of classics. For example my yearbooks in honour to those golden years of trance. My Exhibition of Classic Trance does reflect my personal taste the best, those mixes are always more than 3 hours to ensure a complete journey through different styles of trance. My personal favourite series is Hidden Treasures, which completely consists of all those hidden gems from back in the days. Of course I love the obvious classics, just as much as all trance lovers, but mixes with only the well-known classics are sometimes a bit exchangeable. With these hidden treasures I can let people discover tracks they never heard of and be more unique. It’s my pleasure to provide you all with a broad range of trance music.
