10. The Free Radicals - Summer Breeze (Ocean Wave vs. Twonkman Remix)

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.

Dream of Journeys Past

1. Orkidea - Unity (A992's OG-Pure Intro Baby) [2023] ******
2. Trance Wax; Atlantis vs Avatar - Fiji [2018]**
3. Pinkbox Special - Nice Guys Finish Last (Original Mix) [2004]
4. Quivver & Blackwatch - Loveless (05 Mix) [2005]
5. Hammer - Deep Blue Ocean (Original Mix) [2005] *
6. BT featuring Jan Johnston - Remember (Sasha's Remix) [1997]*
7. Space Manoeuvres - Stage One (Northern Exposure Total Separation² Mix) [1999]*
8. Horse - Careful (Sasha's Separated Horse Mix) [1997]*
9. The Crystal Method - Keep Hope Alive (BT's Creatine Method Mix) [1997]*
10. Bladey and Julez - Dirty Muffin Breakz [2003]
11. Bedrock - Set In Stone (Original Mix) [1997]
12. Kalafut and Fygle - Novocaine (Original Mix) [2006]***
13. Echano - Nothing To Live For (Original Mix) [2004] ***
14. Westbam vs Lost Tribe - Wizards of the Red Sea (A992 Chillbreaks Explosion) [2023] ****
15. Lustral - Everytime (A992 Koglins Red World Outro) [2023] *****

* 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.

Update April 6 2024 - I would like to say a special huge thank you to Coasterfreak (@coasterfr), thanks to whom the account is paid for again and fully functional.

If you have a request, please contact me here in PM.

I don't expect you to know me
Or how I lost all my dreams
When I can't even find myself
In the choices I made

These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

Open to everything happy and sad
Seeing the good when it's all going bad
Seeing the sun when I can't really see
Hoping the sun will at least look at me

Focus on everything better today
All that I needed I never could say
Hold on to people, they're slipping away
Hold on to this while it's slipping away

He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man.
