Thanks for you feedback Aza. Watch this space; more good things to come!

What's wrong with CDJ1000s? Still have and use mine! That said I am thinking of upgrading at some point.

I've been rather restrained with self promotion for my own product on this board. We all have little time to spare with backlogs of audio to get through, but I thought my latest mix may appeal to some of the audience here. A Hard Trance mix featuring tracks from 2000-2004. A few favorites from Jules, Eddie and co plus one or two less well represented classics. Wasn't really in the mood for 'progression' or 'taking you on a journey' so it's up tempo, main room, peak time from start to finish. 01. Avatar - Red Planet (Reverb's Mix) [ILLUMINATE Records : ILLUM200619] (2002) 02. Blank & Jones - A Forest (Ron Van Den Beuken Remix) [Spinnin : WL009] (2003) 03. Marc Dawn - Expander (Flutlicht Remix) [Logport : LOG2006] (2002) 04. Ratty - Sunrise (Here I Am) [Monster Classics : CLASSICS002] (2004) 05. G&M Project - Sunday Afternoon (Nu NRG Mix) [Be Your Self : 7007415] (2004) 06. Absolom - Stars (Headz On Trance Remix) [A&S : ASD009] (2000) 07. Saltwater - The Legacy (Alphazone Remix) [Zenith : ZEN3001] (2003) 08. ATN - Miss A Day [Mondo : MND011CD] (2002) 09. dcp84 - PBD [White Label : Nil] (2020) Always welcome thoughts and feedback. Much more to be found on my SoundCloud profile: https://soundcloud.com/dcp84.

I can possibly assist - have sent you a message.

I can't remember Crescendo - 'Are You Out There' [FFRR] at all from these days. Sounds very much of its era as housey proto-trance tune.

Top share and thanks to all involved. Really great to hear audio from this era even if it isn't from the man himself. At the risk of sounding ungrateful for the efforts required to collate and edit the files thought, it would be nice to listen to the original shows these were extracted from.

There will always be something more to be found!

Welcome to the club Noodle!

Welcome Phil. The Archive truly is a great place to research tunes and rekindle memories.

I am reasonably forgiving about the odd mix which goes wrong. Many of us are DJs here and we can list numerous frictions which get in the way of seamless mixing. Ultimately, tune selection is and always will be the most important factor in the quality of a set. That said, from a mixing perspective Jules really was off form here. I’ve seen him do a few classics sets live, all at Gatecrasher, and at each of those his mixing was flawless though there was little variety between the tunes at each performance. In many regards though, this is classic Jules. Throughout his career, even when at his peak, he frequently antagonised and alienated with seemingly questionable decisions and terrible performances. Thankfully these were counterbalanced with performances which would . As someone else once said on this forum, he ‘frustrates and delights in equal measure’. I do wonder if Jules’ consistency had been better over his career he would have fared much better in terms of his standing in the annals of DJing and Trance history. I had been tempted to go to Luminosity this year with a friend, glad I didn’t though!

It's been rather quiet her recently but still a few of us around. I hope everything is well with you.

I attended one of the Gatecrasher ones which, as a one off, was an excellent event and something to remember. However, the market is well and truly saturated as you have said, and I don't think I would bother to go to another.

JJ's Disco Roadshow

Both these tracks have being getting support from me. I really like the Environs B-Side, Side Missions, too. Will check out the mix later.

Briggsy, thanks for the Grotesque and Aerys label recommendations. I will be sure to look at their releases. Louk, likewise with Skullduggery.
