Awesome news! Hey Slater, maybe you can help me out with this. I heard Jaia live twice, once at VuuV 2005 or 2006 or whenever it was when he played there, and last year at Ozora. Both times he ended the set (the real set, before he stopped and started playing extra tracks) with an astonishingly haunting beautiful melodic prog-trance track which i could not get out of my head for days afterwards. Both times it was the exact same track, even though the performances were 2 or 3 years apart. I have searched everywhere for this track, checked his albums, his compilation tracks, yet I have not found it. Do you know which track I am talking about, and if so, will it be on the new album? Thanks

Tim Healy is probably the one artist that is universally beloved by all my friends and people that more or less share my taste in music that I don`t like. Most of my Berlin friends and the Fluffmeister himself Krelmatrix cum all over themselves when talking about Healy, but I cant share their enthusiasm. Of course some of his stuff is cool, but his music is too rocky and "unpretty" for my liking. I like pretty music, not filthy music. Because I am pretty, too

Thanks, Nurbs, that nice to hear Im definitely gonna do more mixes in the future, before these last two I didnt do any for a year because I moved and such, but now i have everything set up nicely again

Hi all, I got off early from work today and used the opportunity to put togeter this set here. It explores various avenues of more or less contemporary techno without getting too minimal and it even takes a turn to more trancey territories at the end. Hence I gave it the name "Däschnöö", which is how people with the ridiculous, funny and absolutely unsexy Saxon-German accent pronounce the word "Techno".

I beg to differ. That would be Roxette Just kidding, but if im thinking THE SWEDE, Im thinking Adam Beyer. I used to listen to Cari in the 90s, but didnt even know he was still around. Adam Beyer has beenaround forever as well, and he certainly is more popular these days...

Hi all, after almost one year of silence due to an enormous workload Im finally posting another mix It starts kinda hazy and soft, and then turns into a tribal percussive tech-house set. Hence the name "Es trommelt in der Lederhose" Some tracks are brandnew, some are older, I recorded it spontaneously but it perfectly captures my mood this afternoon. Enjoy and comments are welcome!

I have gas right now as well, but it aint fabulous... And heres a video I found of gas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVoIT7oUC3s

No, the best (or only good) dubstep around... Even though it doesnt have much to do with dubstep IMHO

I think if you wanna keep it as short as possible and dont get into too much detail your list is perfect. Except instead Suomi I would use experimental to include all the australian weird stuff and psybreaks etc... And, if anyrecords cross-over, like Ace Ventura for example, you could give it 2 tags (full-on and prog. in that case). You hearby have the official "GSH seal of approval"

Thanks all for the nice feedback I made a consciuous decision to keep things focused on the music and particularly the new album, first of all for selfish reasons because thats what interested me the most and also because i wanted a "quality interview" that one can read a year from now. I actuallz wrote some funny questions as well, but decided against using them. And for sure I didnt wanna ask about drug usage and stuff like that, I think that has no place in such an interview. I know! Look at my signature, I always thought its Marktstrasse as well, I was led to believe for many years that the sample actually came from a german subway station announcement...but wrong! About the Techno Alias, I have no idea, but if anyone finds out let me know, more than curious!

"The Light" is indeed an awesome track, however it is the only above-average Ace Ventura track. Everything else, except maybe the Perfect Stranger Remix on the remix CD, is just very bland-sounding run-of-mill prog with a distinct plastic full-on aftertaste. IMHO his tracks just sound too flat and clinically dead. They are like soulless zombies sucking the life out of any sound system...

Magda ist butt-ugly in real life, so is Miss Kittin btw.Ive seen them both. Im appalled no one agrees with me on Ida Engberg, she is one of the most beautiful women per se, not just dj/producer.

If you like Archipelago you need to get the Track "Thermal Twist" which was released on Ace Venturas Hom-Mega Comppilation. Totally in that style, I think its even better than any track on the album. Or get "Autumn Lights", a single released on Joof recpords, you can find both on Beatport. As far as albums, Lime Structure is the one that comes closest to Archipelago in terms of what it sounds like. BTW, I really like "Lungs of Life", its not bad at all, its just sounds nothing like their older stuff.

Yo, I did an interview with Atmos over at Isratrance, check it out, it turned out very interesting I think: http://www.isratrance.com/interviews/atmos-i67.html

Ida Engberg!!!!!

Theres a really awesome remix of Ame-"Rej" bz a japanese orchestra. Actually its not even a remix, they just replay the techno track with their instruments.

Heres my review in my function as official isratrance reviewer: Do you know the kind of woman that looks beautiful one day, and then you see her a week later and she seems to have lost all her magic? Or even worse, you look at her from one angle and she appears spectacular, but from another angle she is average at best? As all Seinfeld watchers know, this phenomenon is called the "Two-Face". Solar Fields new album Movements was the music equivalent of the "Two-Face" to me. One day I loved it, the next it just seemed trite and boring, and for a long time I really didn't know why. Then I treated myself a to an expensive-as-fuck new Bose sound system a few days ago. It was while playing the album on that new system that Movements finally cast its magic spell upon me and I understood why it is such a "Two-Face". With bad speakers, Movements just doesn't work. The melodies themselves are not exceptionally breathtaking, the soundscapes or sound selection or whatever you want to call it isn't exceptionally original, and there is nothing that grabs your attention over any other ambient release. That, however, changes completely when you run it through a good sound system, and I really mean sound system, not just good headphones. All of a sudden the formerly mediocre soundscapes take on an ethereal kind of plasticity; they hover in the room like a lucent mist. From below the warm yet firm bass carries the tracks on a velvet cushion, almost invisible, but still very present. And in those surroundings, the once bland melodies take on a completely new life, trite becomes emotional and cheesy becomes beautiful. At its best, when all elements come together, the effect is nothing less than mind blowing, for example at the end of Sol (T1) when the lady starts to sing or after the break of The Road to Nothingness (T10). That being said, the flow of this album is totally off. With ambient albums much more so than with dance albums the flow is essential, because I for one listen to them usually in one sitting and in situations where I am not in the mood to get my fat ass off the couch. For the first 6 tracks, the journey is very uneven, highlights are intermixed with the two rather uneventful tracks Circles of Motion (T2) and Dust (T6) and the only real stinker The Stones are Not Too Busy (T5). Only at the end does Movements really find its flow, and that's a shame. The victim of the weird programming is the powerful opener Sol, probably my favorite track here. It sits at the beginning like monolith when it should have been put into context as one of the centerpieces of the album. Recomendation: With women, the cause for the "Two-Face" is usually the angle in which light hits the face of the unfortunate one. With Movements, the cause is the quality of the sound system. The better the speakers, the more it can unfold its beauty. Of course Movements isn't the only album that sounds better on a good system, but here the difference really is more dramatic than on any other music I can think of. And that is only to Solar Fields' credit, because the intricacies of the sound design are so subtle and sophisticated, it takes the right equipment to notice and appreciate. To be a straight A, Movements has a few too many average tracks (2,5 and 6) that really bother me in the context of the album, but the rest are all great to exceptional, so I can only recommend it to all who like their ambient deep and emotional

That is amazing news, new Union Jack album at the end of the year! And the two tracks on myspace are in the same style like their old stuff, awesome! Too bad Claudio isnt a part of the revival, i always liked Terra Ferma much more then Art of Trance. I wonder what he is up to these days.

Arent you like a year or two late for the Dubstep bandwagon?

To Healium: Tour de Trance definitely sounds more like Headcleaner than 2nd Brigade, so you should like it. Of course its slower and more subdued than Headcleaner, but still, its the same vibe About the vocals, I 100% agree with RTP, I actually think they add tremendously to the tracks. All of the vocals are used more as rhythmic devices or weird sound effects, so except Ride the Flow there`s nothing that`s close to singing. Especially 46DAZ and ToWhatMyMindAttend would lose a lot without the voice samples, they "tie the track together" like the Big Lebowskis carpet "ties the room together"

Wow! Thats a real set! With a story, an arc, different kinds of music...I would have loved to dance to that back then. Unfortunately, Gil has really gone off the deep-end, nowadys he plays the same track for 30 hours. THe funniest thing was when they turned him off at Excalibur 2004 and he didnt even notice that his music wasnt playing anymore,hehehe, that was hilarious

Tour de Trance gets ridiculously high ratings because it is ridiculously good. An ff you dont like this release it means you have ridiculusly bad taste Other than that, i think most reviews on here are positive because in most cases people only bother to write a review if they really like something. I dont write very many reviews, but if I do it its either to praise a release or tear a release to pieces. The shit in the middle goes unmentioned.

My favorite is when others genres get an infusion of trance, like trancey techno or trancey house.

I´m not gay. What would make you think that? She really is hot, I would post a pick, but that would mean exposing the farter, and I wont do that, hehehe...

Wow. That cover. I can just feel the penis in his rectum... Whenever I hear new Yahel it makes me sad. What a wasted talent. Like the child prodigy who takes a wrong turn in life and ends up as a street hooker.
