The weekend is now officially behind us, time to focus on yet another week. Another working week, in which we need something to keep us going. And today's mix is one I've found by accident, which has been on Soundcloud for 3 years, and has been hidden away from any plays. A four and a half hour long mix, by Trancefamilynorth (that's a mouth full!). If you want to have something to get you through today, just press play, and let this mix guide you. Unless you do not like Tranc

Another day at home, another day of finding a new Soundcloud channel we all should be embracing. This time, the channel is called Coldwired Podcast. Not heard or seen this channel before, but it was only yesterday I spotted a mix which was released 3 days ago. One that contains Trance from the 90s and 00s. And you cannot go wrong with that, can you? Unless you mess it up royally, but that doesn't happen that often. And I can confirm that it certainly isn't the case with this

The image above, that's how it looked like this morning, looking out of my bedroom window. The sky looked amazing, and even though it was a bit nippy outside, currently the temperatures have gone up, and it actually feels extremely pleasant. The weather has changed, and so had my mood. And now, I am in the mood for some lovely Trance music. And obviously, my source for excellent Trance music, is Soundcloud. I think my stats from last year did show I was on it for most of the

Where did the weekend go? Christ on a bike, time does fly by, doesn't it? It is already Monday, and we are back to normal. A normal working week for all of us, and I was thoroughly enjoying the weekend. Maybe it's time to introduce a 5 day weekend, and a 2 day working week. That would be amazing! But that's not happening in this universe, maybe in one of the MCU multiverse worlds. But one can hope, and one can dream. And some even have a dream machine.... Well, not literally

The weekend is about to land, but we still have a few hours ahead of us. As long as we stick together, we can get through it. I'm here to assist you through today, and how would I do that? Well, I might have found a perfect Friday mix for you all. Mixed by Sam Garlick, and it's a Trance mix. Need I say more? I probably have got more to say, but we should be focussing on this mix. And also the fact that it's Friday again. Where does the time go? It goes too damn quick. It has

Look at how long he looks! He looks very young, but truth be told, in 1997 he was 27/28. He looked much younger though, if I'm honest. But he was still a rookie in the scene, but not for long. He was slowly growing, and people started to notice his name and what he could do behind the decks. Not only a DJ but also a producer, and his biggest hits would still come later in life. But in 1997, he was already making waves, and according to the internet, this is the oldest Tiësto

Saturday, the day of rest. And today is such a day. Not doing much, but the standard chores and Playstation time. And in the background some excellent music playing. Today's mix comes from the channel Legacy Trance on Soundcloud, and it's a 68 minute long mix, with some interesting Trance anthems. It was actually a guest mix for another channel called TAMMAC, which I've not heard of before, but I will give a follow today. Anything Trance related brings a smile on my face, and

Who remembers Dance Valley? I certainly do, even though I've never been to one. It was always on my list, but it never came to fruition. It remains a wish to this day, even though the line-up doesn't appeal to me anymore. Maybe the early years were more my cup of tea, especially the years surrounding the Millennium. What I did do, was buy all the Dance Valley albums over the years, and listen to the livesets, which were broadcasted on Dutch radio. And one set I've found only

The year is 2005, and I'm still living in the Netherlands. And I'm a massive music freak. My life changed during the early 90s, but during the 00s did my music collection grow in size. I got a steady job and made a decent wage, and my money was spent in my local CD store. Back in the day we had three in Heerlen, Limburg. It would either be a Van Leest CD store, a Free Record Store (but the records were never free, the bastards!) or the one that still remains, Satisfaction Rec

The end of the year is coming. Tomorrow we will celebrate the last day of 2025, and what a year it has been. The time is right to reminisce, and think back. Not only of all the things which have happened in 2025, but also from the years gone by. A quarter of a century has gone by, since the Millennium started. 25 whole years, and now we are about to enter the 26th year. Time does fly by so darn quickly, it is unbelievable. And as time is relevant and only goes forward, at lea

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. And you got all the presents you were wishing for. And obviously, you got fed well. Or maybe too well, as most families around this festive period go overboard with the amount of food. I hope the food was sufficient enough, and that you are now feeling as stuffed as the turkey. But Christmas is so much more than just food and presents. Depending on your beliefs, it could be to celebrate the birth of an important figure in human histor

I wasn't aware there is such a thing as the Trance mancave. I've heard of the term 'mancave', but I always thought it was a place men recede to, when they want to be left alone. But it seems that there's an actual Trance mancave, and I'm curious now. What would you find in there, besides massive speakers, stroboscopes, other lightning equipment, and some glowsticks? Anyone got any idea what it is you might find in such a cave? Would be interesting to visit one. At least we kn
