The Mix to play:

Rating

Der Dritte Raum

Hale Bopp

Addictive

This is an old classic which is great trance from Germany. Nick Warren does his stuff for the remix, but the b side is the track for me.

"Trommelmaschine"

10/10

Problem Boy

Self Contol

SouthEast

Great tune from this label which I liking more and more. The Olav Basoski is brill with some nice streched vocals which is nice to hear again (Not a trance track)

"Olav Basoski "

6.5/10

Apollo 440

Stop the Rock

Stealth

Not my cup of tea but the "Dance mix" of it is out of this world. Been around all summer. Only just got hold of it. Top tune!

"Gigolo Stop the Jocks'"

9/10

Spacepunks

Another Space

Whoop

Lovely Electro trance from this label where you can go wrong when you buy. Everything is great on this. Whoosh and crash and boom. With a few pretty vocals !!!!

Both !!

8/10

Lost tribe

Gamemaster

Hooj Choons

Great 2 tracker from Hooj. Signum is his usual style keeping it bumping, while Matt Darey and Red Jerry get together to mix a storming piece of trance with a rift sounding similar to "Dreams" .

"Matt Darey & Red Jerry"

8/10

Razing Kane

Get Carter

Treat

Trance, trance and more trance!

Both are good

7/10

Nipper & Le Sueur

Final Destiny

Linear Grooves

Nice and banging put has a few nice breakdowns. Nice melody too.

Both

7/10

Lost Witness

Red Sun Rising

MOS

The "Dusk till dawn" mix sounds great to start with but then get ruined by too many "rave bird" cheezy vocals. Lange does the usual on the main side.

"Lange mix"

7/10

you+me

Technique

Creation

Garage record with a Matt Darey Mix. Say no more.

"Matt Darey mix"

7/10

Planet Perfecto

Not Over Yet 99

Code Blue

Canned by all most of the summer. Breeder does a great job. Darey not so good.

"Breeder mix"

8/10

Perfect Phase

Horny Horns

2 Play

TOP TUNE. So banging. Its got this siren in it that takes you to the top. Hard house with a funky bassline. Enough to bring the dancefloor back into order.

"Horny horns"

10/10

Ruff Driverz

Waiting for the sun

Inferno

Needs more work on it. Also has "Dreaming 99" which sounds OK to begin with and then just goes potty, the only good bit is the original guitar.

Both

5/10

System Lush

Going On

Red Parrot

Great tune from Northern Ireland. Nice to see that. Col Hamilton's work finally here. Nice progressive house going a bit trance in parts.

Both

Hook

Both sides provide nice atmospheric trance but keeping it moving.

Both

7/10
