Nucrise & Mr. Trancetive - Trance Connection 175 (Afterhours.FM 01-02-2025)

Techno & Trance Dj/Producer, Buenos Aires - Argentina.

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).

PSYE (pronounced “sigh”) is the rebranded electronic project of Jeremy Brower, a U.S.-based cross-genre producer known for emotionally immersive trance, eurodance, house, and cinematic EDM.

Originally producing under the name Phee Phee, Jeremy built a catalog of conceptually rich singles and EPs—including One, Celestial Realms, Tell Me a Story, and Know Thyself—released through SAID Productions. These works explore themes of memory, transcendence, and transformation, blending ambient house, progressive trance, eurodance, and experimental EDM into a distinct sonic identity.

In 2025, the project evolved into PSYE, marking a creative shift toward deeper intentionality, symbolic sound design, and trance as narrative. Drawing inspiration from the melodic legacy of late-90s and early-2000s European dance (Chicane, ATB, Robert Miles, Enigma, OceanLab), PSYE blends nostalgic motifs with modern production to create emotionally resonant, immersive experiences.

A defining feature of PSYE’s sound is vocal trance—where lyrical expression meets melodic trance architecture. Influenced by vocal-forward producers such as Armin van Buuren and early Anjunabeats, PSYE uses vocals not as embellishment but as storytelling elements. These voices give shape to core themes—transcendence, emotional clarity, and inner renewal—turning each track into a resonant, introspective journey.

Recent releases include Halcyon (Lumen Remix)—a cinematic, pulse-driven reinterpretation of Chicane’s trance classic—and Sun Transmission, a dual-single project exploring light, motion, and memory through layered soundscapes. PSYE also contributed the Transmission (Vocal Mix)—a vocal rework of Chicane’s Low Sun—furthering the project's exploration of trance as storytelling.

Looking ahead, PSYE’s forthcoming LP Sleepwalking (2026) will deepen this evolution—a genre-refined journey into the dreamlike and emotional core of trance, crafted for listeners who seek meaning, emotional depth, and music that grounds their energy.
