Jeff Mills - If (We)

 I decided to take three true Trance Classics, probably the best of all time for you and me, and instead of remixing them like all the others do, I gave them a treat that no one else had given until today. I had fun remaking these classics that way and I hope you will enjoy them as well. Their original versions are timeless, strong and need no explanation. Made with Love for the all of us.

Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth (Airwave's Theatrical Remake)

Writing about techno is quite difficult without falling into clich&eacute;: there are only so many ways that you can say something about a music whose core elements are forged on deliberate repetition; where real talent is attributed to those who can find the perfect groove where nothing needs added or subtracted to hold the listener's attention for upwards of five minutes. 

Such tracks are the hallmark of Tresor's catalogue, and this joy in repetition can be found in works from Detroit, Berlin, Birmingham, Edinburgh, and more. And it is through this lens that Parisian artist, UFO95, focuses his output, resulting in Backward Improvement, an EP that sits perfectly in the spectrum of techno found in the Tresor chronology. 

The title itself makes an abstract reference to the influence of the classics of the genre, inspiring him to take a distinct less-is-more approach to production for this collection of stripped-down yet unrelenting techno chiselled from the live set which has fixed UFO95 as one of the next holdfasts for the future of the scene. 

Perhaps it is the fact the UFO95 only performs live that had led to such crisp and focussed studio productions.; each of the tracks showcase the artist's burgeoning talent for creating the essential foundations of techno; perfect, looping, instinctual grooves that are counterbalanced by an apprehensive tension from off-key tones. 

Backward Improvement marks the addition of a new name in the list of techno's best producers and proves that while the genre may now be in its 40th year there are yet sonic explorations to be made and variations that are worth unearthing.

NORTHEAST DYNAMICS

To speak to Luca Daniel Schwarz aka LDS about his music is to be enthusiastically guided into a complex world of his own creation: clean and powerful techno which pulses with life from the textured patterns and drum sequences that have fills and accents that would make anyone who's picked up a set of drumsticks envious.

Yet this ecosystem of noise is deceptive; Schwarz's process for making music is very different to how a live drummer would create the same subtlety of performance. Forever researching new technology, Luca got deeply interested in different programming languages, and created a series of probability based music tools for manoeuvring sounds and sequencing.

Manipulating those probabilities takes a skillful alchemy, needing understanding of both musical structure and how the tools he devised work. To return to the drummer analogy, if the drummer is focussed and intentional in the moment of playing, then the method used in LDS tracks is almost diametrically opposed, with all of the intention coming in the assembly of the instruments, potential paths, and gateways; once play is pressed the music flows, following all the rules that were set in advance, not unlike a domino run or Rube Goldberg machine.

And like a domino run, the results are fascinating and, ultimately, fun: staccato vocals pop in and out in 'zipp prompt'; laser-like synths pulse; background noises sweep across the aural plane of the dub techno of 'diff, blockmix' and 'pow' adding texture that brings vitality all-too-easily missed out when complex mathematical processes become entwined with music creation. The high sensitivity to texture and rhythmic detail in Stadion Progg is multiplied further on Jean Redondo's remix - whose track, Hypersonic, was the backbone of 2023's 'yet' compilation on Tresor.

The balance between technology and a sense of fun might also come from the maker; it's not easy to overstate Schwarz's passion for what is now his favourite way to make music, "it never gets boring. There's always a moment of anticipation to see what actually emerges." And the true "power of 2" comes into play when the resulting music can be fed back through the system again and again, potentiating the music in exponential ways.

Overview
Trancendance is a weekly radio program on CiTR 101.9 FM devoted entirely to modern electronic Trance music. Trancendance broadcasts live from the University of British Columbia campus radio station every Sunday night from 10pm - Midnight (PST) and podcasts of (almost) each show are made available to download and listen to at your convenience. Listeners can also tune in via Live Internet Feed (Listen Live link on the home page - I think you need real player). If you live close but not quite within FM range you can connect your receiver to cable as CiTR rebroadcasts on cable 101.9fm in and around Vancouver.&nbsp;
We love to get calls while we are on-air but please be patient if it takes a few minutes for us to pick-up. You can reach us in the on-air studio Sunday nights between 10pm - Midnight (PST) by calling (604) 822-2487.&nbsp;
More often than not we are the last show on Sunday night until Breakfast with the Browns starts at 8am Monday morning. That means we get to program the overnight mix most of the time so if you’re looking for Trance music instead of sleeping on a Sunday night you should give CiTR a listen. itunes podcast @ citr -- trancedance**trancedance**
The Show
I’m DJ Smiley Mike - resident DJ and host of Trancendance (pronounced&nbsp;tran-sen-dance not trans-en-dance) and this is a little history of how I wound up with a radio show on CiTR.&nbsp;
As far as I can tell Trancendance first aired in 2001. That’s when our first ad appeared in Discorder. At the time the show was co-hosted by Sideshow Sid (now in retirement - er.. I mean - now with a real job :). DJ Caddyshack joined the show not long after and between the two of us we’ve managed to keep the show on air for quite some time now.&nbsp;
Before I started Trancendance I appeared regularly on Digital Alarm Chronometer - another electronic music show on CiTR. Digital Alarm Chronometer has been off air for some time now, but back in 1994 it was hosted by DJ Vader and co-hosted by Sidearm. DJ Vader was friends with DJ Cyber who still hosts Synaptic Sandwich on CiTR Saturdays from 9pm - 11pm.
The Djs

 DJ Smiley Mike is my Son-in-law. When he is not mixing he works as a graphic designer.
Being a senior I have to do something. :-) Enjoy what you guys have done with music (sound), all my best wishes go out to all you guys.
