Pier Session 2022-08-15

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.

A mix I created for the Hypnotic Trance Mix for r/trance mix competition (Sept 22).  Unfortunately I misread the rules and can't use this mix but here it is for everyone to listen to.

If anyone asked me to describe the trance sound I love I have always used the word hypnotic.  Here we have a mix of very modern hypnotic trance bookended by tracks from the master of hypnotic trance, Oliver Lieb.  Get lost in the music.

This mix was created for the /r/classicstrance comp, the prompt encouraging one or more rare tracks (hence the 'under the table') pre-2008 trance with no other restrictions. Freedom! I've been itching to make a classics prog set for a while anyway. This set leans in to that classic late 90s prog sound, although it reaches in to the EE era as well. Journey prog was always my favorite and likely always likely will be. Shame the genre is nearly non-existent in 2023. I wanted this mix to be dreamy and a bit more emotive than some of the mixes I've made lately. This mix really takes its time as well, so sit back for the ride. There are some footnotes to explain the rarity or composition path for some of the tracks below. 128-137bpm. Enjoy.

* Personal edit or minor masher.
** From the 2018 Trance Wax 04 bootleg vinyl, this track is simply labeled 'Trance 16'. Limited release so this one is spendy now.
*** Digital lossless copy of these were never officially released. There are <10 copies of the promo CDR of Novocaine, but Nothing to Live For was only ever available on vinyl. Recently obtained from the old parent label. Thanks Richard!
**** 2023 update to a remix/masher I made a few years back. Wanted to resurrect this one for a while. I would not usually dissect such pristine tracks, but I noticed a few years ago that Lost Tribe's 'Under the Red Sea' and Darey's infamous 'Wizards of the Sonic' Remix were made from the same ingredients. Had to cook up a new recipe with them. This is a longer version with a remaster.
***** 2023 update to an outro remix. This update has more elements of the red sea and extended.
****** I thought I could use the Solarstone Pure Intro as it is 2011 remix of a 1999 track, but alas, I missed a rules clarification for modern booties only. This hybrid was made to get around the rules.
