Mornin' Glory Pride, recorded live, 30th August 2021. 

Relive the best night of your life.

Mornin' Glory Pride 2021 - Recorded Live

The debut production from Trance duo 'Oxygen' which is a rework of the Paul Van Dyk classic 'For An Angel'. The reason we went for a rework is that Paul is a complete legend to us and we love this track, so wanted to create something up to date for our current sets, yet still keep  the feel and energy of the timeless classic original.

Oxygen are uk DJ/Producers Touchstone and Cliffy Burrows. Enjoy the remix :)

Essential Memories 1

Thanks Robert Miles for being such an inspiration and for delivering such a huge tune as "Children". This is my personal tribute together with Torq,a new 2017 "Psytrance" vision of this masterpiece with the addiction of Trance anthem "Toca's Miracle".

Manchester Pride never fails to entertain!

Manchester Pride 2007

Pride 2007 (Essential)

These tracks stand out for me as it was when first started to go to essential. A few years before I DJ'd there myself and long before the Funky House movement.
Trance tracks with some mashup vocals from back in the day. If you were there in the early days of essential (2001-ish), you know the ones. Enjoy x
