Nucrise & Mr. Trancetive - Trance Connection 155 (Afterhours.FM 03-06-2023)

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).

Trance & .... it's the perfect "Storm" ! 

Supported by Above and Beyond, Armin van Buuren, Aly & Fila, Ferry Corsten, Gai Barone, Paul van Dyk, ReOrder and many more.

Han Beukers is a Dutch DJ and trance producer from Rotterdam. His passion for electronic music began at an early age, influenced by legendary radio DJ Ben Liebrand. Beukers' sound primarily centers around uplifting and progressive trance, with releases on labels such as A State of Trance (Armada Music), Raz Nitzan Music, AVA Deep and Deeper Harmonies(FYH), Pattern. 

Over the years, Han has performed at notable trance events such as Ferry Corsten & Friends, Grotesque, and several events on Ibiza. He has a growing discography, with popular tracks like “Portitxol Sunset,” “Embrace,” and “Flauwekul is Flauwekul,” the latter being a tribute to his late father. Han continues to release progressive house and trance music, collaborating with other artists like AxelPolo.

Biography 

In the mystical realm of pulsating beats and cosmic melodies, there emerged a trance prodigy destined for greatness – none other than Ben van Gosh. Born into a family where music flowed through their veins, Ben’s journey from a child dreamer to a trance wizard is a tale as groovy as the basslines in his tracks.

In the Gosh household, melodies weren’t just hummed; they were blown into existence by Ben’s vater, who wielded a hair comb like a maestro’s wand. The air would resonate with tunes that seemed to serenade the very molecules of existence. Meanwhile, Ben’s mother was a rhythm sorceress, conjuring beats with nothing more than wood cooking spoons on the kitchen table. The family home was a cacophony of joyous sounds, a trance haven in the making.

In the year 2020, armed with a Mac Book from the groovy era of 1976, Ben van Gosh embarked on a sonic adventure. His first two trance enchantments, “Feel Free” and “Expoplanet,” were unleashed upon the world through the portals of Interflow Records. The trance community, unable to resist the magnetic pull of his beats, quickly anointed him as the new kid on the celestial block.

Not content with just conquering the airwaves, Ben launched the legendary “Kitchen Trance Club” radio podcast. It was a musical feast for the ears, where beats and recipes collided in a cosmic culinary symphony. Rumor has it that listeners couldn’t decide if they were dancing or cooking up a storm in their kitchens.

But the pièce de résistance came with “A New Hope,” a trance anthem inspired by the timeless saga of “The Never Ending Story.” The track didn’t just hit the first place on the German Dance Charts; it bulldozed its way to the number one spot, leaving listeners in a state of euphoric trance.

Remix requests poured in like confetti, with Ben sprinkling his magic on tracks by the likes of Mauro Picotto, Kosmonova, Pulsedriver, BEAM, Yoshi&Razner, Magnettor, TranceEye, Alex Mazel, and a legion of others. His remixes were like musical alchemy, turning ordinary tunes into gold.

He released his songs on the magical labels like: ZYX Music, ZYX Trance, Blackhole Recordings, In Trance We Trust, Nocturnal Knights Music, Grotesque Records, Interplay Records, Future Sequence, State Soundscape and many others.

And so, the legend of Ben van Gosh unfolded, a tale of beats, dreams, and kitchen table percussion. As his music echoed through time and space, the trance community couldn’t help but be swept away on a cosmic dancefloor, grooving to the tunes of a hair-comb wielding, wood-spoon drumming, trance maestro extraordinaire.

Anyway, I am looking forward to the next trance magician: Ben van Gosh
