Icedream

Icedream Master of this track before it got released on Linger Records back in July 2015. The track seems to have since become unavailable.

Abandoned track, the project file for it is a mess. Started in 2011, stopped working on it mid 2013. Who wants it?

EDIT 2022-12-27 – As you may know by now, Faithless' singer, Maxi Jazz, has recently passed away.

I've been feeling very sad about this, knowing that his voice has contributed to the very roots of the same electronic music that got me hooked onto it in the first place. Whenever you hear his voice in music, you know it is him, and you know it's a Faithless tune, and you know it is an awesome piece.

I did a bootleg of their "Salva Mea" song back in 2014 that many people downloaded and shared, and still do. Many DJs played it on the stages and in their shows and streams. The very core of the track, the elements that Sister Bliss and Maxi Jazz put together in the original, carries on within, and I'm glad that through it some people experienced and will experience the power of the voice that contributed to Faithless' tunes: the mysterious, deep, never over the top vibes that his lyrics and tone brought.

That's just one of many ways how he leaves a legacy and I am very sure that, at many times in the future, I will listen back to his work, with these thoughts in mind.

Rest in Peace, Maxi Jazz.

Thank you for 300 followers on SoundCloud, hopefully more may follow. :)

As a thank you, here is my most recent bootleg, coming fresh from the oven! Hope you enjoy the sounds. :D

#ThrowbackThursday time! An old remix I once did for Defcon Recordings and a producer who used to be quite active over at Monstercat, Mitchell Claxton (@mitchellclaxton). This is the original, full, "extended" version of the remix that seems to have since disappeared from SoundCloud. The following is the original text from the release:

Canadian artist Mitchell Claxton has been making waves in recent years with his versatile productions and high-profile sets at EDC and other festivals. He now makes his Defcon debut with his brand new single "Dive"

The original mix is a tech-trance driven tour de force, blending tough percussion and acids with a relentless, energetic bassline, and is sure to please the late-night dancefloors!

Fellow countryman Cam Heathman is first up on remix duties, who showcases the progressive stylings that have been winning him many admirers in recent times. He gives Dive a sublime, subtle makeover that takes things darker and deeper.

Rounding things off is the latest Defcon boy-wonder Icedream, whose remixes this year have firmly ensured his reputation as one to watch! His latest effort for Defcon is another high-energy monster that is sure to win over even more fans!

Release date:

11th October 2014 (all stores)

One of my first remixes, from the very beginnings of Icedream. I don't know when I exactly first uploaded this to Uptrax, so I just pinned the release date to the one of the original track for now.

Throwback from about the beginnings of Icedream, track 5 off my Spirit of Trance album on Jamendo. We all start somewhere.

The artwork I originally did for this track and the master audio file of the original mix both got lost. The only version I have left is the album edit that I put on Spirit Of Trance, which is this.

A long while back I was still a young amateur producer with shoddy quality standards. Back then, in 2011, I tried to make my first attempts at hosting a DJ show happen. This is an edited recording of one of these attempts which I found on my old MP3 player - the first pilot episode of one of my first show iterations called "Tranceiving." Since there were some old tunes in there that I like to re-listen to, I thought why not reupload it.

The mix was originally done live on March 11, 2011 as a 2 hour mix with commentary for a radio station that no longer exists. The commentary was in German, and my voice was much less radio like than nowadays. Since I'm reuploading this mainly for the mix itself, I have edited out my commentary and one of my own tracks in an attempt to make the recording more listenable - that one track was a very poorly made bootleg that no longer has any right to exist on Earth, lol.

TRACKLIST

I reconstructed this from voiceovers, my own knowledge and some very precise shots with Shazam. It's insane how much better audio detection for Trance tracks is nowadays!
