CiTR -- Trancendance

For the first part of this week's show, we sample a few tracks from some of the local live electronic artists that will be playing at Open Studios on April 21, 2018.

This week I was tired of see-sawing back and forth between the same old genres, so I dusted off some old breaks tracks and picked up a few new ones. A little rusty at first but was having a blast by the end!

I'm a week late on getting this one published... Can't even remember what I played! Uptempo pay-tech?

Not even sure what blend of genres this is. Some of it seemed to be labeld Bounce which I'm not even familiar with. Some of it seems to be classified as minimal or deep techno and some of it is tagged as psytrance, albeit pretty low tempo compared to most of the psytrance I'm used to.

This week I looked up from a mix to see someone grooving away outside the studio window and it took a minute before I recognized it was Scottie! I even convinced him to come on air and chat a bit about how he migrated from a club in Halifax to the Vancouver rave scene!

I've been raming up the tempo from week to week, and I'm starting to push into the faster stuff that I haven't played in awhile. Not quite up to full on speed yet, and I don't usually hit forest tempos, but still packing some energy. I think there's a few filler tracks in here, and a couple less than excellent mixes, but still a fun set.

After 3 weeks away over the Christmas and New Years holidays, and an extra week away due to technical problems at the station, Trancendance is back! And we start the year off with some up-tempo progressive psytrance!

We'll be away for the next THREE weeks (totally unprecedented) which makes this the last show of 2017! Some of my fave psytrance tracks along with a handful of new ones, including several off of DJ Fabio's new Therapy album! Happy New Year! See you in 2018!

There are a few mixes this week that clash, but that's what happens when you span decades and genres in an on-the-fly mix. There's brand new stuff in here mixed up against some old faves from the late 90s and early 2000s. Overall there's more that I like than I don't. Perhaps this set will get rearranged a little to smooth out the kinks in the new year!

I don't even know how tonight's show came to be... a wild adventure through several genres including techno, progressive psytrance, vocal trance, acid techno, trance, and I think even a breakbeat track. Definitely some stuff in here that I don't normally play!
