Modern trance has become boring and unimaginative, the same artists producing the same old sounds.  Once great trance producers making cheesy tunes that appeal to the lowest common denominator.  Trance didn't used to be like that, when it began it was forward thinking, constantly evolving.  Trance needs to go back and discover that.

Luckily there are now producers out there that are taking trance back to it's beautiful hypnotic roots.  Here is a mix to showcase some of  t those artists out there producing interesting and forward thinking trance.  This is pure, hypnotic trance.

Makodan (Markus Puolakanaho) is a DJ, promoter and music lover from Helsinki, Finland. Three years of gigging across the country has given Makodan invaluable experience in DJing. He has shared stage with several Finnish and international names such as Yotto, Astral Projection, Alberto Ruiz & many more. He is also known for his trance alias, Mark Ember. Makodan is a resident DJ and promoter of Hybrid JKL, Techtonic and Rude Tune Crew.

For Makodan, the spark for becoming a DJ started at Summer Sound Festival in Helsinki six years ago. Being amazed by the music, he wanted to one day be on the stage sharing music with an audience. He started practicing mixing and got his first gig in 2016. In 2018, Makodan won three mixtape competitions.

Makodan’s musical repertoire consists mainly of progressive & melodic house. He is mostly focused on playing warm up sets, but he also has a taste for prime time tunes. Makodan’s sound is melodic, driving, often dark and sometimes even euphoric. His heart still beats to other genres, so you can hear tech house and techno in his sets from time to time.

He is currently learning music production and you can expect releases from him somewhere in the future. Makodan is a DJ who entertains with his stage presence and wants to share the music he loves to the audience. His intention is to make every DJ set an emotional and musical journey.

Music for big speakers.
