Spring has Sprung Pt.3 (Vintage Trance for Vintage Ravers)


\\xa0


Third and last part.. It got a bit more interesting from there on..


\\xa0


A bit of context.. For a few years, our crew has been yearning for some good old uplifting Trance.. Back to the 90\\u2019s.. I was quite apprehensive about it, not being sure that we ,still, actually could handle any sustained trance.


\\xa0


I did learn a few things whilst mixing the set and I will come back to that later, but I am happy to report that I was proven wrong., Trance can work if appropriately tailored to the crowd.


\\xa0


Straight out of the mixer with all the imperfections of live mixing.. Be kind! It consists mainly of big anthems and/or Xtian\\u2019s Edits I have dropped before, with a couple a new mash-ups I have been working on..

Highlights:


Give a fair go to the many Xtian Edits and mashups, they are fun and in some cases decent..


I learned a valuable lesson for the next time I play Trance:


A) Maximum length of set should be 1h30


B) Unless the track is an ABSOLUTE ANTHEM \\xa0(and there are max 10 of these all around) no track should be more than 4/5 minutes, therefore only radio edits to be used in the future.


C) Attention span of the punters is 2 minutes if nothing change ( levels etc...).

I will be back with an original mix within a fortnight..

To our friends.. Thanks it was fab to see you having a good time!!
