Nucrise & Mr. Trancetive - Trance Connection 154 (Afterhours.FM 06-05-2023)

Mr. Trancetive stands for a dedicated and loyal passion for all kinds of Dance and Trance music and the wonderful feeling it evokes. Making mashups, edits and megamixes is his core business and his sets are packed with creative and surprising blends.

Mr. Trancetive (pronounce like 'transitive') alias Sjoerd Hoevens was born in 1987 in Haarlem, The Netherlands. From a young age he enjoyed music, especially when listening to the radio. Every Friday afternoon he rushed home from school to tune into the Top 40 to hear the greatest hits of the moment. He became a loyal customer at the local music stores and his CD-collection grew fast. He was often asked to play records at school parties and organized some of them at his parents’ home, which he really loved doing. As he had no DJ-gear but only two stereo sets, his mixing technique was a bit unconventional, blending tracks with the volume buttons and harmonic-mixing them by ear. It helped him develop a sensitive feel for smooth and harmonic transitions. Though he loves all kinds of music, his interest then already went out to Dance music. This was the late 90's/early 00’s, with great artists like ATB, Mauro Picotto, Faithless, 4 Strings, Scooter, Sash!, DJ Tiësto, Milk Inc. and Paul van Dyk.

When he heard John O’Callaghan’s tune Big Sky back in 2007, his love for Trance music skyrocketed and has never left. From that moment he tuned in to Armin van Buuren’s radioshow A State of Trance every single week. After visiting Trance Energy and Armin Only Imagine in 2008, Sjoerd decided to use his passion for Trance as a basis for his own creative interpretation of the genre. He bought his first DJ-gear and started mixing. In 2014 he posted his first mixtape on SoundCloud and in 2015 he started the production of mashups and edits. Since then his mashups got supported by Trance artists like Jorn van Deynhoven, Artento Divini, David Broaders, Johnny L, Tomac, Lazarus and many more. His inspiration comes from Trance artists like Armin van Buuren, Andy Tau, Solid Stone, Giuseppe Ottaviani, U-Mount, Farius, Gareth Emery, Ben Gold, Ashley Wallbridge, Sean Mathews, Omnia and many more.

Today he’s more productive and passionate than ever before and determined to share his love for Trance music with the world. Besides his solo project Sjoerd is also one of the hosts of the Dutch radioshow @Time4Trance and hosting Trance Connection on Afterhours.FM together with his UK based friend Nucrise (@rafa-arendz).

Hello Friend !

My name is Cold Junction, i have a passionate love for music & i´m also DJ.

My journey started back in 2018, back then i was just a big fan of festivals like UMF or Tomorrowland and i have always loved to watch DJ´s performing their art ! So finally i have pushed myself to learn DJing & play music by myself.

First few years were rocky as i was learning but eventually i got hang of things, even though we as DJs are always learning something new doesn´t we? 

I did not even had controller at my beginnings, i started just with mouse & keyboard and Virtual DJ software .. after some time passed, i have upgraded to my first controller Hercules Instinct S which broke in few months and i got then Numark Party Mix which stayed with me for awhile.

But then i was hungry for more technology and most importantly detach myself from needing computer software so i got Denon Prime 4 which is my biggest love to these days .. and later i also added to my DJ setup two Denon SC6000 Players and completed them with brand new Pioneer DJM A9 .. I am in my happy place :)

My weekly show Cold Room Sessions is mostly built around trance music but i also throw in often other genres, because honestly being bound to one genre all the time can be quite frustrating and boring.

Visit me sometime on my twitch channel and say hi in chat, i will be happy to have you there .. numbers or fame means nothing to me, even one chatter can make my sets feel legendary every weekend ! 

Usually i stream every saturday at 8:00 PM Central Europe Time but sometimes i may schedule it on sunday or friday if i go on some event or have family bussiness .. be sure to follow my social medias to stay in touch .. much love my friends, see you on dancefloor !
