Liquid Trance Mission.

On a Trance Mission! If you do not like trance, be it a 120 or 140 bpm, keep well away! You are warned! But if you are missing those days, download or stream and DO NOT SCROLL, this set is a Journey !!!

Once upon a time in Melbourne, Australia, there was an underground dance collective called \\u201cLiquid\\u201d.

It was a private, somewhat secret, dance club, which, once every two months, would send an sms to its members and announce on the day where the next reunion would be.

Members were co-opted, with a one gig trial, whence if you did not fit, you were blacklisted with no second chance.

Liquid was all about the music and the dance. What Liquid was NOT about was the clothes, the stilettoes, the designer hand-bags and the pre-requisite to \\u201cget sorted beforehand\\u201d (it was not about that either.). The only pre-requisites were: a bottle of water, good comfy trainers, a positive attitude and an able pair of dancing legs..

This community was diverse: the occasional pre-nekos mixing it up with the fluo & vinyl trance heads, the baggy tracksuit crowd and the somewhat more stylish goers. Yet, for all its diversity, it was a sharply homogenous group sharing a love for dance and music between like-minded peaceful people. They would not really hang out socially but for those few Liquid nights, it was strictly all about the DANCE!

The music was mainly Trance (the 80s/90\\u2019s Ibiza style), not the hard crap but more the classical/vocal happy trance and what we did not know at the time was going to become Progressive House. The night was always a journey and when the DJ was dropping the 135 bpm + tunes, we were just soaking it in as it was only delivered at the very peak off the journey.

This was SO last century.. 15 YEARS AGO.

This set is\\xa0the soundtrack of what a "Liquid" night could be, if held today!

If anyone of those by-gone years read and hear this ( I won\\u2019t name and shame any of us) this is for YOU and ME!

Highlights: \\u201cNo One on Earth\\u201d and \\u201cLove Is Not Enough\\u201d two A&B tracks are a cut above the rest, both courtesy of Christopher Doyle. I added Synth & pads but the structure of both tunes is so classical, the vocals so pure, this is Trance heaven. \\u201cLonely Girl\\u201d is a catchy, hands up in the air Trance jam and will undoubtedly feature in my NY set.

Armin\\u2019s \\u201cFallen Away\\u201d being such a rip off (surely intentional and credited) of 4 Strings \\u2018 \\u201cTake Me Away\\u201d, they had to follow each other in spite of my original intention not to use tunes I knew. As for Nadia Ali, well, I cannot go into Trance/Progressive House and not include something of Nadia.

Finally, \\u201cWe Control the Sunlight\\u201d, I could see with Viv & the kids when I played the set for them that such a frantic pace was pushing the boundary but somehow I felt that it was the peak time tune befitting the end of the set..

Next upload will feature original takes on tunes we all know, more progressive & commercial than pure Trance\\u2026 We are off to my beloved Trouse.
