Come along for a 23 year long journey! Spirit/Spirit of Ibiza/My Spirit, has held a special place within my musical heart for a long time. Second track on my first (and probably last) real single release (on vinyl). From a time when labels where real and music was physical. Thanks to everybody who made this journey possible, the Transa brothers, Blue Amazon, Inzite (J. Gustafsson) and my brother Eric (@ericlidstroem), especially for finding all this in the deep archives of The Lidstroem Sound Republic!

DJ Zephyr / Dual Force / Robert Lidstroem - Spirit of Ibiza/My Spirit

In 2000 i had a change of style and got more influenced by the german and dutch trance scene. Me and my brother (@ericlidstroem) was buying In Trance We Trust and Trancemaster-mixalbums by the truckloads! I have a feeling i must have started this even in late 1999, and i believe this was made in either MadTracker2 or FruityLoops, yes the DAW was named FruityLoops. Still using it 23 years on! This is one of the absolutely first versions of the track later known as "My Spirit". Using my DJ Zephyr moniker at the time!

DJ Zephyr - Spirit 2000

We are still in early 2000, January 22nd (thanks @ericlidstroem for digging through the archives). This is a somewhat different version and i did a namechange aswell. Fairly simple stuff, and uplifting. I had been producing for 2-3 years at this point.

DJ Zephyr - Spirit Of Ibiza

Now we are in 2001! Epic music year, and headlong into trance by this time! I had left home and was at the moment living with a close friend, J. Persson (@joakim-persson-649475997). Like mentioned before he had all the bells and whistles in terms of both hardware and skill! We took it upon us to freshen this track up, and while doing so, we made a co-op alias to go with it, "Dual Force" (nah, i dont think Dutch Force had anything to do with the name....not at all...nahah!). This made its way up on Beatmaka, a great site for amatures to get music featured! Great times! Enjoy!

Dual Force - Spirit of Ibiza

Still in 2001! Jan Gustafsson, "Inzite" was a fellow Swedish producer who went on to make awesome things in the trancescene! He was also very active on a website called Beatmaka, even released a fullength album (which i ofcourse have), and he was kind enough to even include this remix on his own album. We still chat now and then, me and Jan, and have made (very vague) plans of hitting Luminosity in the future as part of a old Swedish Trance Producers Alumni-kind of thing ;)

Great guy, awesome producer! Went on to release on Galactive, ATCR, Godskitchen Recordings and more!

P.S: This is not to be confused with the later "Transa vs Inzite Remix"! More on that later on!

Dual Force - Spirit of Ibiza (Inzite Remix)

Time to get serious! As you can see its not "DJ Zephyr" or "Dual Force" anymore. Now, this is straight from my one and only true release in 2003. Although not as commercially succesful as the Misja Helsloot-remix of Recitation, this was a true trancer! Cue classic trance courtesy of legends Transa! Lush pads, production is impeccable, stomping right to the end. Now, why would there be a "vs Inzite"? Well, its 20 years ago so i might not be spot on. But to some extent Transa borrowed inspiration and style in a way, from the Inzite remix, that it was best to just release it as "Transa vs Inzite". 

Enjoy!
