Nucrise & Mr. Trancetive - Trance Connection 181 [Afterhours.FM 02-08-2025]

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).

Vampire Werewolf is the dark fusion of husband-wife duo Devil Boy (Lil Pac) and Asiatic Ivy—a raw blend of rap disses, sadcore truths, and experimental underground sound straight from the edge. Our music feels like the ghosts of vintage internet rappers whose best tracks got buried by label politics or vanished in the algorithm... but we’re not going anywhere. We're still here, still howling, still biting.

Raised in dangerous hoods, both Devil Boy and Ivy earned recognition and notoriety young—hailed for their words, not their looks. Critics can call us dumb, but the streets, the pen, and the mic say otherwise.

Devil Boy also runs Dark Lightworker Ra on YouTube, diving into trippy conspiracies and spiritual warzones, and cuts cult-classic fan edits through Nightwing Productions.

This is Vampire Werewolf. Ugly truths. Beautiful pain. Chaos that sticks.
Blood in the ink. Soul in the sound.

P.S It should also be noted that Devil Boy and Asiatic Ivy had quite the success as mere teenagers. Asiatic Ivy was a fanatical radical for the planet among other causes, and helped make things like recycling what they are today. Devil Boy as a student was hailed by the United Nation's, (with a few select other students) for raising money for a number of causes, they raised money for what they wrote about, everything from the war at the time, woman's rights, poverty, children that don't fit in, and building schools in underdeveloped countries. Later on as young as a man can be, he was asked by his pagan friends to join in on a United Nations tellathon of both poetry and music, to help raise money for a Pagan Acceptance Project.

Then:
Bought my first Kam belt drive record decks in 1998, and started DJ-ing shortly around Cork City and County as well as getting a slot on local stations Kiss FM, NRG FM, Klub FM and a few shows on the legendary Radio Friendly. Genres at the time- trance, house and hard-house. Also started using Acid Pro to make my own edits and mashups.

Having been retired from the DJ-ing game since 2006, Ableton Live filled the void as I started to learn to produce tracks.

Now...
In 2019, I picked up my first midi controller, a Pioneer SB3 with Serato Pro and started putting new set mixes on mixcloud.

Currently, I'm putting out bootlegs and mashups using Ableton as a kind of learning curve to making original tracks.

Short term goal - 2k+ followers. DONE!
