Always loved the long intros PVD done in his sets back in the day as well.

This is my go to mix as a reminder of the good old times. It’s my 1st memory of listening to PVD, back in 1997 I was 20 years old and had no idea how free I was lol.

A truly magical essential mix to sumise the golden years of trance - doesn't get much better than this... time machine please anyone?

Olive, you’re not alone is still class now

I remember recording this live off the radio 22 years ago! Still one of all-time favourite sets.

Update April 23 2025 - 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.
