John 00 Fleming recently curated a top 20 alternative Trance chart for 2024 on Beatport. He mentioned on his page that it would be great if someone did a mix of the tracks in the chart that he could broadcast on his radio show as his guest mix, and got an amazing response. 

He put his favourite mixes entered into a playlist on his Soundcloud page and then he selected my mix to be played in the last hour on his radio show! What an honour! 

Here's the full length 1hr 40m mix with full track list below. Right from when I first started playing many moons ago, J00F's publicly open philosophy on DJing has been a big influence in the way I think about playing and putting music together, and no matter what time I'm scheduled to DJ how to read and play to a crowd. 

While my usual selection of music is often quite different to J00F's style, his influence is firmly embedded in my DJing psyche, and it has been a great honour to have the opportunity to put together a mix of tracks selected by one of my biggest idols in the trance scene. 

I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did mixing it.

J00F top 20 Trance Picks of 2024 - Full Winning Mix

Custard is a DJ who mixes across the broad spectrum of house, trance & techno. From prog house, trance & techno, to house party bangers, through to alternative & uplifting trance, and up to the banging side hard trance/house and acid techno.

Past DJ residencies include Planet Angel, Boundless and Chilled in a Field Festival.

As a producer he is 1/3 of the Nexus 3 collaboration with the uplifting big room trance releases 'State of Wonder and 'Last Flight' on Discover Records, plus remix duty on Activa's 'Temper' on the To the Point remixed album. 

He's also 1/2 of the Payoff Brothers collaboration; making whatever bootlegs they fancy in any genre. Whether it's fixing a broken remix to make something that makes sense, remaking really old tracks to bring the production up-to-date to make them playable next to modern tracks, or making bootleg remixes that are begging to exist.
