I was right at the front with my annoying vuvuzela haha.. what a set this was though 

Good old days when vinyl was still the preferred method of mixing

Wow remember like it was yesterday after rehearing that i was somewhere at the back worse for wear but hearing it all 🫠

I remember being there... .good memories x

Essential mix

Sound quality not great... but still one of my favourite sets after all this time...
Favourite Pete Tong intro...
"Do you recognise this man?? Ha ha... Are you sure??...  Are you sure????"
Brilliant

Great memories

SCOTT BOND - LOSTWEEKEND: INSOMNIACZ REBOOTED - 14 JUNE 2025
[DOWNLOAD > PLAY > SHARE!!!]

The sun was blazing, the beats were pounding and Nottingham was on fire (not literally, thankfully) as the LostWeekend took over the banks of the River Trent! This incredible all-day festival brought together some of the biggest names in the scene and it was an absolute treat to step behind the decks and inject some Trance magic on the Insomniacz REBOOTED stage.

This one was special and was more than just a set – it was a moment. The vibe was pure euphoria, and the Insomniacz and REBOOTED brands, once again raised the bar. My set was crafted with care – a potent blend of original Trance classics, fresh reworks and a few long-lost forgotten gems pulled from the archives to keep the energy riding high and the crowd completely locked in.

The atmosphere? Exuberant. The production? Top shelf. The crowd? Unstoppable. Seeing so many familiar faces and new fans alike coming together to lose themselves in the music reminded me of why we do what we do – to create lasting memories through the power of Trance.

If you were there, you will know exactly what I mean. And if you missed it - fear not. Here’s a copy of the set to enjoy at your leisure, especially during these scorching summer days when you need a little sonic boost to lift your soul. ☀️🔊

Paul van Dyk - Live @ Home, London, Essential Mix 23.04.2000

Tacking the Sand**

*Tacking the Sand* is a high-energy, psychedelic dance album built for endless nights on the floor. Inspired by the image of a sailboat racing so close to the limit that its keel touches the sand, the record captures the adrenaline rush of risk, the euphoria of speed, and the hypnotic power of music that never lets go.

With **driving beats, spiraling synths, and mind-bending layers of sound**, each track pushes higher and harder, like waves that refuse to break. The album is pure momentum: vibrant, trippy, and unstoppable — a soundtrack for those who love to dance at the edge of chaos.

*Tacking the Sand* is not just a record. It’s a ride beyond the limit.

---



*Tacking the Sand* es un álbum de dance psicodélico y explosivo, creado para noches infinitas en la pista. Inspirado en la imagen de un velero en regata que vira tan al límite que su quilla toca la arena, el disco transmite la **adrenalina del riesgo, la euforia de la velocidad y la fuerza hipnótica de una música que no suelta nunca**.

Con **beats intensos, sintetizadores en espiral y capas sonoras alucinantes**, cada track sube más alto y más fuerte, como olas que nunca se detienen. El álbum es puro movimiento: vibrante, lisérgico e imparable — una banda sonora para quienes bailan al filo del caos.

*Tacking the Sand* no es solo un disco. Es un viaje más allá del límite.

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.
