Another Intelligence. Another journey. Another Uplifts.
Welcome to Uplifts 2026.12, the latest chapter in my ongoing journey through the sounds of uplifting trance.
This episode takes us through 35 tracks of emotion, energy, powerful melodies, beautiful breakdowns and driving rhythms, with a few unexpected turns along the way.
From the opening sounds of Hemstock & Connolly and Signum through to the unmistakable energy of Ferry Corsten, Activa and Factor B, the journey begins with a reminder of everything I love about trance.
As the mix develops, Peter Steele, Illitheas, Jamie Hughes and others bring some wonderful melodic and emotional moments, before the energy builds and the journey heads towards a tougher, more driving section.
There are some particular highlights for me along the way.
Darude's legendary Sandstorm gets an outstanding reworking from Cory Goldsmith, bringing back so many memories. Lostly, Sneijder, Will Rees and Inoblivion & Brendan Bartels help deliver a powerful final stretch, full of energy and incredible breakdowns.
And then there's Mike Bound – Beyond the Silence.
It was a spoken line in that track, *Another Intelligence*, that caught my attention and eventually gave this episode its name. One of those moments when the music itself tells you what the mix should be called.
Finally, Alternate High and Robbie Seed bring us back down to earth, closing another Uplifts journey with warmth and emotion.
As always, this is about more than individual tracks. It's about how the music comes together, the transitions, the changes in energy and those moments when everything just feels right.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Turn it up, lose yourself in the journey, and let me know which tracks, transitions or moments stand out for you.
