Fathers happen to influence most of our choices, may it be a sport or a game or even our choice of music. Today, since we celebrate Fathers Day, we list down 6 trance dads who are absolutely slaying the trance game.

James Lynas

The famous trance dad who is better known for taking out his lovely kids for rave rides. He is a man who even managed to get a Dreamstate party home for his kids! Talk about dads being positive influences in terms of music choices, and James is a shining example of one. You keep slaying it James!

Armin Van Buuren

The God of Trance not only steals hearts while on stage, but is an doting dad to Fenna and Remy. Who can forget the moment at Tomorrowland when he had tears in his eyes while announcing the birth of his son? He regularly takes time out to play with his kids and has even had Fenna dancing while he performs on stage!

Ferry Corsten

The man who never fails to impress, especially with his new album Blueprint, also happens to be the father of a beautiful girl and a boy. Sharing a personal story which he happened to tell me when I met him at EDC in India, I asked him as to how he manages his hectic schedule. He told us about how he had to be back in Asia in two days again for an event, yet he took a flight home right after his performance here to even spend those two days with his kids. Could it get any more adorable?

BT

BT is the proud father of a lovely girl. He currently resides with her in Maryland. He even produced the track Skylarking as a lullaby for his daughter. Apart from that, he gets her quite often on stage when he performs.

Marlo

Marlo recently stepped into fatherhood. Father to River Hoogstraten, you can always see him uploading pictures of his son on Instagram and snapchat.

Gareth Emery

Gareth emery is an absolute darling when it comes to his daughter Sansa. He even named her after Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones. He has even produced a track for her. Now, he currently is on his way to become a father for the second time. Congratulations Gaz!

These are some of the trance dads whom we absolutely love! To all the trance dads out there, wishing you a very happy Fathers day!

Trance enthusiast. Armada Ambassador. Content writer. Im not afraid of 138! Making people give Trance a chance.

Trance Dads who are absolutely killing it! - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

Com Truise just released his fifth album on Friday the 16th. The album, titled Iteration, marks his first album since 2014s 7 song EP Wave 1. It has definitely been worth the wait. In an era where its more about what producer is putting out the biggest anthem, its nice to see an artist embrace trance and give us the smooth, grooving album we deserve.

With Iteration, Com Truise is giving us electronic music we can sit to. But more than that. The warm beats and flowing music dont lack energy and are conducive to productivity. With a title derived from a word that means the repetition of a process of utterance, we can tell its going to be good getting-stuff-done music.

Thats looking at Iteration more practically, though. Theres more to the album than a process. Theres also feeling, emotion. Each song tells a story as the melody moves forward, constantly shifting. The music is intimate and sensual, something you could listen to with a special someone when the mood is right.

This album is a blend of many things, and Com Truise blends them well. Each song compliments the next, with none of them trying to stand above the others. That said, I have a particular fondness for Propogation and Iteration. Those tracks each have a story to tell and they swell from slower and quiet to having more of a driving beat and many layers of music.

Personally, Com Truise might be my new go-to artist when I want something chill to put on or want some music to help me through cleaning the house. With each iteration of Iteration, there always seems to be something new to hear. The way each song is a story, I can see some of his music used in movies. In fact, I would not be surprised to see him approached to compose a movie score sometime soon.

Leven Kali is a Santa Monica singer, songwriter, and producer who recently featured on Playboi Carti's eponymous debut tape and is credited as a contributor on Drake's More Life. On his new song "Yours," he proclaims his admiration and loyalty to a mystery woman. "You say that you love me more/ I think you know what's good/ I'm here, I'm yours," he sings in a deep and raspy timbre. Two minutes into the sultry song, Kali takes on the rapping role: "I ain't got no plans/ Got no shit today/ We can take our time, babe." The synths undulate and introduce a darker and mysterious bass line that complements his nonchalant, sing-songy flow.

"'Yours' is a jam I made last week when the weather was kinda shitty in L.A. June gloom," Leven Kali told The FADER over email. "I just stayed in at the crib and cooked up. The homie ISM came through and sprinkled some sauce on it too."

Listen to "Yours" below.

Leven Kali's Sensual Slow Jam Will Leave You In A Trance - The FADER

Trance music came into existence in the early 1990s in Germany & Goa. Since then genre has been a musical therapy for millions of listeners. They say Trance heals and some tracks are accurate representation of that thought. Hence it makes perfect sense to take a trip down memory lane and talk about a time which was golden and unadulterated.

Team Trance Hub has listed down a few tracks which turn 20 in 2017, classics which have cemented their legacy in the sands of time.

A track which literally starts with the wordsLets go to the beach cannot be missed. With a peppy bass line the track also has the ability to make you fly. A definite classic which still brings a smile on your face.

Perhaps the prime example of progressive trance, Flaming June sees two absolute legends combine. The track name is no way connected to the famous 1895 painting but according to Brian, he got the name courtesy a cab driver who termed the weather as Flaming June

Produced by Paul Oakenfold & Steve Osborne, the track is of real beauty as it has the melodious vocal of Dominique Atkins. With lyrics that speak about heartbreak, this song had a huge debut on the UK charts. Noteworthy mention to the fast paced Ascension remix as well.

A 21 year old young boy from Netherlands took over the world with a storm by producing a tune that laid the foundation of his legacy. 20 years later Armin has leapfrogged everyone and become number 1, but pretty sure after countless hits Blue Fear will always remain close to his heart as it kick-started his career.

Pacific Melody was the reason for Johan Gielen to change his groups name from Body Heat to Airscape. This 1997 tune with Peter Ramson reached the UK top 50 charts. With a lot of highs and lows the tune is a wonderful listening experience.

If you are sucker for vocal trance, this is definitely one tune you should not miss. This is one of the most iconic tunes from the house of British producers Ricky Simmons & Steve Jones. With a slightly eerie background the vocals of Kate Cameron give the tune a perfect emotive feeling.

This aint our normal trance tune, but something different. Since the start Nick loved experimenting with new sounds, and Sunstroke is a beautiful example. With a laidback vibe & a sample of an angelic voice, this downtempo tune is perfect lullaby for trance listeners.

Spice of life, is one tune which flirts nicely with two high paced genres of dance music. Citadel of Kaoss have always had a lot of techno & breakbeat influence in all their songs. But for this classic, it was slightly different, as this build up from a tech trance sound to a slightly more psychedelic one.

Robotic samples echoing the words Freak Tonight, Alien Factory were so much in love with their creation that they created three different styled mixes for this. But one thing which remains common through all the mixes is the wonderful use of synth.

Curator of Edm4Pune, sports enthusiast assisted by having a taste bud for delicious food. Open to all genres of music yet staying close to his first love, Trance.

Trance hits which turn 20 in 2017 - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

From circuitGROUNDS to quantumVALLEY, trance has always had a special place at Electric Daisy Carnival

Over the years,Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas has played home to almost every genre of dance music. Of all the sounds that have graced the EDC Las Vegas stages, there is one that has taken us on quite the exhilarating and momentous rollercoaster ride: trance. Though there have been many ups and downs, as the winds of popularity and demand are continuously changing, trance has been rebirthed from the ashes to take its rightful place, staking its claim as one of the most sought after genres at one of the biggest dance events on the planet.

Is trance dead? If we take a look at its history over the years at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, I can firmly tell you that that trance isnt going anywhere. In fact, it is now bigger than it has ever been before!

In 2011, EDC Las Vegas hosted artists such asCosmic Gate, Above & Beyond, Paul Oakenfold, John OCallaghan, Markus Schulz, Simon Patterson, Sean Tyas, Ferry Corsten, and ATB.They took trance fans on a journey of ethereal beats solidifying the genre as one that simply refused to die. Reminding the dance universe that trance was a genre unlike any other, these DJs took listeners on a true musical journey of melodic beats and ethereal rhythms. It was in these moments that a movement would be sparked in the souls of many as 2011 was the first year EDC was hosted in Las Vegas.

In 2012, history would be made as both A State Of Trance and Group Therapy would take over the circuitGROUNDS stage for a full weekend of pure unadulterated trance insanity. With the trance family representing if full force, the electricity in the air resounded louder at circuitGROUNDS than at any other stage that whole weekend.

A freak sandstorm put a hold in the festivities on night two except for a small art car in the middle of the speedway. Who stuck around to make sure that the music would live on? None other than Coldharbour King, Markus Schulz, kept the music goingwith an impromptu performance that sparked life back into a disastrous situation.

Although the trance greats like Bryan Kearney, ATB, Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, and Ferry Corsten were on the ticket, what was happening to our beloved trance scene at EDC Las Vegas? The trance family was left confused and disappointed to say the least. How could a genre that touches so deeply be ignored or forgotten? The mainstage sound was quickly changing into big room house and the lineup reflected this greatly.

The following year, 2014, proved to be slightly better but still lacked the type of trance lineup from years before. Trance artists were experimenting with the mainstage sounds, such as Ferry Corsten and Markus Schulz partnering to form New World Punx. With passion in tow and a voice that would not be ignored, the trance family would come together to shout their disappointment with the lack of trance presence.

In true Pasquale Rotella fashion, he answered back letting headliners know that in 2015 trance would have a full day dedicated to some of the most celebrated names in trance. This would be the beginning of a beautiful resurgence of trance at EDC.

Dreamstatewas announced as a 2-day trance extravaganza that would take place at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California on Thanksgiving Day weekend. Since the announcement of the Dreamstate event, the trance presence at EDC Las Vegas would forever be changed as 2016 played host to a brand new circuitGROUNDS design. Dreamstate took over the massive 360 entity for one wild celebration on day three, which marked a resurgence for trance.

With Ben Nicky kicking off the trance extravaganza, Sunday would be the night that the trance family would come together as one. People came together linking their spirits together to celebrate a genre that gloriously beat out all of the odds that once seemed to be on its last heartbeat.

This year Pasquale announced Dreamstate would expand even further for Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas. The biggest and best trance artists from all over the globe will take over the airwaves for three, yes THREE full days, at a brand new dedicated stage called quantumVALLEY hosted by Dreamstate! As history has shown us, we are continually blessed with bigger and better stages and lineups. With quantumVALLEY designed specifically for our beloved trance family, this will be the year that trance will be properly represented at Electric Daisy Carnival.

When were coming up with new ideas and experiences, we draw inspiration from all different places including from within our amazing community. Our newest stage at EDC Las Vegas this year exists because of the energy, passion and love many of you have for the trance sound and culture. After a late night of planning and perfecting, the team and I are finally ready to officially debut our newest addition to the EDCLV family of stages: quantumVALLEY. A few of you spotted some designs last week on my Insta but I wanted to make it official. Dreamstate will be hosting all 3 nights Under the Electric Sky.

EDC Las Vegas 2017 is just days away and I hope to see you at quantunVALLEY to celebrate trance in all of its glory this year. Check out my top five trance must-sees for EDC Las Vegas 2017 righthere!

[Behind the Beat]: Nifra Connecting With the World Through Trance - Mix 247 EDM

To finally get to our dream jobs at The Spinoff, our staff have been through some pretty shitty employment.

From flagrant sexism to gagging on fur balls from beard clippings, we at The Spinoff were exploited and used by our former employers.

But now you dont have to suffer the indignity that we endured, because this June, skate, surf, and snowboard clothing company Volcom is giving 15 people from around the world the chance to make their passion their profession. The prize is a trip to Austin, Texas to work on your dream job and $5000 cash; thats $5000 more than The Spinoffs Don Rowe got paid for his summer job. Enter the competition today so you dont have to spend two months stripping half the Waikatos wallpaper for no pay, or nine hours every day unpacking boxes in a freezing windowless room.

In the summer break of my first year at Auckland Uni, I got my first full-time job, working at an ice cream factory. From 7am to 4pm, my task was to unbox and sort whatever had been delivered to the factory floor. Deliveries were either plastic containers, plastic lids, 10kg bags of hokey pokey and crushed cookies, or 20L sacks of flavoured syrups that served as great weight training. It was a beautiful summer (apparently) but the room I worked in was windowless and had to be kept chilled because the ice cream was being made next door. It was always a fun surprise finding out what the weather had been like that day as I left to go home. Sometimes Id be called into the packing room to put boxes together or to stand at the conveyor belt and make sure that thousands of ice cream tubs didnt clog up the shrink-wrap machine. It was the definition of mindless work but also very stressful because you couldnt stop for a second until the machines stopped. The machines were loud so everyone wore ear muffs but werent allowed to listen to music in case of an alarm. I did a lot of self-reflection and got very pale that summer. But now Im very good at taping and untaping cardboard boxes so it wasnt all bad.

My first job was at a small hairdressing place: washing, sweeping and generally being around hair for $8 an hour, three hours every Saturday morning. The people who worked there were lovely, but the big problem was dealing with all the goddamn hair. Sartre was wrong: hell isnt other people, its other peoples hair. I would frequently, silently dry retch over the basins when washing out perm solution. I pulled endless globs of rancid hair from the drains like a horror film. I inhaled so many beard trimmings I wont be surprised if I have a gerbil-sized hairball wedged in my lungs forever. The sinks were shoddy and would frequently leak down peoples necks, so I once had to blow-dry an elderly womans back for about half an hour, dry-retching all the way. Still, cant put a price on 24 bucks.

I once had an interview for a job with a lady who said to me, I know Im not supposed to ask you this, but when are you planning on getting pregnant? Because I dont want someone whos going to go on maternity leave anytime soon. Clearly there were alarm bells from the start, but I was in London and needed to pay my excruciatingly high rent so I took the job. Cool move. Another highlight was the day she told me that I needed to remove the nail polish from my nails as it had chipped slightly and we were meeting with some of the company bosses. She literally handed me the nail polish remover and stood there and watched me take it off. When we went into the meeting the bosses were wearing jeans, t-shirts and Crocs.

About six months before I started at The Spinoff I spent several weeks drainlaying through a period of intense thunderstorms. One afternoon, shin-deep in clay mud like something out of Flanders Fields, I watched the foreman and his pneumonia get into their truck and drive away, lightning streaking above the retirement village we were building. That was the second worst job Ive had. Far, far more hazardous to both mood and health were the two months I spent painting the most rundown state houses in the governments Waikato portfolio. From Ngaruawahia to Forest Lake, Huntly to Hamilton, we scraped half a century worth of ciggy-stained wallpaper from sagging walls, sanded the space behind the fridge and generally got stuck into the residences of people who just didnt give a shit anymore, and hadnt for the past twenty years. Then, at the end of the contract, we got screwed by the contractor and ended up with a total of $0 for our time, thank you very much, just in time for Christmas. Happy days.

My first proper job was stacking shelves at 277 Woolworths at night. I was 17, living on K Road and making a minimum of $120 a week, $80 of which covered my rent. It was lonely, repetitive and depressing. In the break room there were Polaroid photos of the shoplifters holding what they got caught with. Their names were scrawled at the bottom in vivid. Mostly high school kids with cans of V and pensioners with cat food or cheap cuts of steak. I wondered why they didnt steal nicer meat. A shoplifting friend of mine told me you get the same punishment for shoplifting anything up to $500. Someone should tell these old men, I thought. The photos were beautiful and sad in a way that appealed to me.

I listened to my Walkman the whole time. When they told me I couldnt listen to my Walkman anymore I quit the next day and called in sick for the next two weeks. The boss threatened to withhold my last pay cheque if I never came back, so I worked my last shift, listening to my friends bFM show on my Walkman. He played a song for me: The Dead Kennedys Take This Job And Shove It.

The lonely supermarket aisle where Walkmans are banned and hope is out of stock.

My first job was at the fish bar at Woolworths. I was 15. My hands used to get cut up cleaning the fish machine and the fish oil would get into my hands. I was 15 and I smelled like fish all the time. It was not a good time. I hate fish.

I also worked at the Bunny Bar where I had to dress up as a bunny. But the bar got sued by Playboy and was shut down. Fish Bar was still worse than the Bunny Bar.

My first job was working in a Kiwifruit grading shed during harvest time. It was fine, but I was so useless at it they kept on moving me around different jobs. I was a box packer one day, but was so slow kiwifruit piled up around me like discarded peanut shells on the floor of a bar. I got moved to grading which required watching scores of kiwifruit go past on the conveyor belt and picking out the non-export grade fruit (basically the fruit that looked bung), but I let so many scarred and degenerate fruit through they moved me again. And so on and so on.

And then the kiwifruit market imploded and I never had to work in a kiwifruit orchard ever again.

Jos Barbosa has been linked to the collapse of the kiwifruit market.

I scored my worst job when I moved to Melbourne for the summer holidays and was desperately broke and in need of work quickly. I found myself selling energy plans door to door for one of the large Australian electricity providers. After three days of unpaid training, on the morning of my first day we gathered in the main office in the central city where loud trance music was used to motivate the sellers who charged around the room hi fiving and shouting. It was very cultish. Each team would then jump in a van and head to the citys outer suburbs motivational trance loud on the stereo again. It was then my job to go out into the neighbourhood and manipulate struggling, and often confused, families to switch energy providers by gently implying if they didnt, their power would be cut off. That was my first and last day as an energy salesman.

For five terrifying hours when I was 17 I worked as a potato picker about an hour south of Auckland. I wanted to get money for a PS4. I was put into a combine harvester with four strangers while we went around a field for five hours. I have the softest hands of any person I know, and I did not cope. I ended up calling my mother to come and pick me up that afternoon.

Whats your this? Your passion, that thing you wish you could do full time. This June, Volcom is searching the Earth to find 15 people who are ready to make their passion their paycheque.

Applying is easy; weve thrown out the traditional job application and replaced it with the simple question, Whats your this and what would it mean to you to put #ThisFirst?

Enter now for the chance to prioritise your passion by letting Volcom give you that extra push that will allow you to spend six weeks focusing on your this while also getting paid.

The Spinoff's Worst Jobs Ever: fish oil, shoplifting, trenches, and trance - The Spinoff

Music on the Green - brought to you by The Mariposa County Arts Council and its many fine sponsors presents the third of thirteen weekends of free concerts with a special appearence/debut of local super-group Arroyo (w/Little Tiger), on Friday, June 16, and, from San Francisco, Trance Mission Duo (featuring Stephen Kent & Beth Custer), on Saturday, June 17. Arroyo is a result of the collaboration of singer/songwriter Ben Goger (The Trespassers), drummer Chris Adcock (Robes, Chaz), guitarist Adam Burns (Bootstrap Circus, Little Tiger), bassist Benny Lee Friedrich (The Trespassers), and multi-instrumentalist Jonny Troyna (Wools Surf Club, Robes). It began out of Gogers desire to give some of his songs a rock n roll rhythm, and his brother-in-law Chris constant attempts to shoehorn country and folk intoDevoandRamonesstyle rhythms. The result is an upbeat type of country rock music, veering occasionally into power pop and 70's style arena rock. Opening the night will be Little Tiger, Burns and wife Mandy Vances synth pop duo. Trance Mission Duo features two extraordinary and award-winning multi-instrumentalist/composers (Stephen Kent: didjeridu, percussion, cello-sintir, bass; Beth Custer: B flat, alto, bass clarinets, percussion) with mountains of global accolades to their credit. In this new duo incarnation, Trance Mission continues the genre-breaking musical traditions they started in the 1990s. Founded in 91 by Kent (Baraka Moon; host of the World Music program on KPFA-Berkeley) and Custer (film score composer; recent Emmy award-winner [KQED]), this seminal 4th World duo out of the Bay Area performed extensively on the West Coast and in Europe and created four universally acclaimed recordings released on San Franciscos City of Tribes label. The music of Trance Mission is a nearly indescribable amalgam of World/Trance music that includes impliments of progressive Jazz, African and Aboriginal, with an infectious improvisational spirit and humor. Trance Missions unique, multi-genre music is unlike any presented in Mariposa before their debut at the Art Park in 2015, making their return a truely special appearence.

Notable performances includeMaybeck Studio, Live Oak Festival,Freight & Salvage, Slims,Palms Playhouse, and many more.

The digital aura remarkably marries the indigenous instrumentation with a rare naturalness, resonating with the full flame of world-derived trance power. Sam Prestianni

A unique Aboriginal, African and European fusion. Their rhythmic, trance-inducing music for didgeridoo, drums and synthesizer makes a perfect soundtrack. j. poet

This is such deep, exploratory, soulful musicunlike anything Ive ever heard. Its world music, yes, but at the same time its progressive, jazzy, tribal, traditional, jamming, driving, trance rhythmsI hear something new everytime I put this CD on. PG, Dirty Linen

All performances begin at 7 p.m. at the Mariposa County Art Park, located on Hwy. 140, between 4th and 5th Streets, in historic downtown Mariposa, CA. Free parking on 5th Street along the Creek Walkway to the Park, also providing handicapped access.

Luminosity events announces 10 Year Anniversary Weekender - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

Veteran Trance Producer & DJ John 00 Fleming shares his view on the art of DJing. John is all set to embark on his Australia tour later in June. He will be playing at Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.

I often fear were going to lose a generation of DJs, in todays world a producer makes a few popular tracks, gets signed to a management company then heads on the road touring having the DJ tag slapped on them. As with most musical genres, the DJ tag and meaning is now blurred. Playing a load of your own tracks crammed into an hour set is now classed as a DJ? But a DJ is a lot more than that, authentic DJs never had the need to produce music as they were too busy doing something a lot more important. DJs have always been the lead figures in creating new scenes, investing into a foundation for the future, finding new exciting music, exposing and supporting new music/producers and creating underground parties rebelling against the mainstream. I remember watching a documentary about a new style of music called Northern soul in the UK in the late 60s, the pivotal driving force leading this scene were DJs who traveled to the US to discover obscure offshoots of Motown, they put their own hi energy twist on it and created an underground dance movement that in return became a commercial success that boomed in the UK. Its no different as we move forward through the decades, I was part of a 90s rave culture, many DJs worked tirelessly against the mainstream machines to create new musical experiences. DJs were the foundation that created many scenes on a local level that in return built actual musical movements such as Chicago House, Detroit Techno, Spanish Baleric, Belgium Nu Beat and more. DJs worked hard getting this music onto radio to give more exposure thus helping these scenes grow and flourish. Eventually when a certain scene got embraced by the commercial masses, DJs were already two steps ahead creating the next scene.

Dont underestimate the importance of a DJ. Many of the most powerful figures in the music industry started their careers as DJs due to their knowledge in music, first hand historic experience in music culture along with being human musical encyclopaedias.

Myself being an authentic DJ , get extremely worried what the future holds as I dont see too many other authentic DJs breaking through and fear for the future of whom will move things forward. I see light in the Techno and Progressive House worlds as they have a lot more DJs involved in that scene and the boom and growth is testament to this. When I look at the Trance world, I worry its predominately producer driven, heavily weighed around self promotion, as a result things are going stale musically not moving forward and the next generation are heading to other places to experience forward thinking music. Again looking back, the most successful Trance brands were run and programmed by authentic DJs, today the musical curve and set time is dictated by an artists manager, then hijacked into it being their mini concert focused around them. Theres no collective input, no union focussed on investing back into the Trance scene as a team. Self promotion is the theme.

This is by no means a dig at producers, its highlighting a change in the buisness model. For years DJs have always worked closely with producers (and promoters) as we need each other and seen the rewards. Thousands of producers have been discovered and exposed by DJs, but DJs are nothing without the music. Were a team that need each other whom collectively create musical history. Today the important role of a DJ is completely overlooked. A DJ cant sustain a career without music production as promoters look at Beatports top 10 as benchmark, in many cases a DJ doesnt want to produce music, they want to move forward and create the next musical cycle and be apart of a movement offering something new. Authentic DJs like stepping into the musical future, to experiment with you on the dance floor and to push new boundaries testing those obscure finds, and thats a big part of what clubbers want too, being stimulated on the dance floor. A concert is a place to hear your all your favourite radio tracks performed live. Two very different things.

Im always thankful to those forefathers in the 60s/70s whom created Motown, Northern Soul then Disco that in return created House music and all its offshoots. They provided the platform for my career that Im enjoying today, something Ill forever be in debt. I also understand, respect and can relate to the dedication, the uphill struggle, financial sacrifices and fight against the mainstream they had to endear, without them we wouldnt be enjoying the scenes that we have today. Without my generation and our battles we wouldnt be were we are today and enjoying this huge electronic scene. Ill always continue that same ethos as they did, I dont care about fame, glory and domination, I care about the next generation and want to continue to lay these foundations knowing the baton will be passed on so that they can move things forward.

Take a moment to discover your local DJs. Take a moment to look around at the DJs whom run labels and offering a different take on the masses. Take a moment to discover those local parties and support them. Go get involved and support and enjoy what they bring musically.

Ill follow up this blog shortly, giving advice to the next generation of DJs and producers of how to get gigs.

The forgotten role of a DJ John 00 Fleming - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

News Written by Tom Williams on June 9, 2017

Aussie instrumental outfit sleepmakeswaves have taken to the triple j studios to rework a classic 90s trance track into all all-out post-rock banger for Like A Version, and no, its not Sandstorm.

Sleepmakeswaves used their debut Like A Version appearance to cover the 1995 Eurodance and dream trance classic Children by late producer Robert Miles, who died in May at the age of 47 after a nine-month battle with metastatic cancer.

The band gave the track their unique icy touch, complete with huge swells of guitar and complex rhythms. It was also the first time a Like A Version segment has featured both an instrumental original and instrumental cover.

While in the triple j studios, sleepmakeswaves also performed their original track Tundra, from their latest album Made Of Breath Only. Watch both performances, below.

It was a question we posed in November last year that was to set the tone for the unravelling of the Conservatives election campaign. How, after twoterms of crippling austerity cuts, dismantling of the welfare state and a referendum that was used as bait to secure a second term did the Tories ever get such strong public backing in the first place? Coming in to this snap election pollsters were predicting a huge majority for Theresa May on June 8th, but as the public have since learned, such heights of popularity was thegreatest trick the Tories ever pulled.

Whatever the outcome of tomorrows election we have learned some important home truths about the Conservative party over the last few months. A much-desired majority would grant them freedom to reverse the ban on fox hunting, liberty to cut social care and public services such as policing and give them a remit to deliver ahard-line in Brexit talks. No wonder they have done all they can to keep their true message out of the media. They started with a great lie and did all they could not to let it unravel, but unravel it has, and if sources close to the campaign trail are to be believed The Tories are increasingly paralysed by panic.

But take a look at how the Conservatives have campaigned over the last few weeks and their fear-stricken rhetoric becomes quite apparent. They say Jeremy Corbyn must have access to a money tree if he is to deliver on his ambitious manifesto promises even though they are all grounded in sound logic. They say Corbyn isnt a born leader even though hes roused significant momentum behindan anti-establishment message, they say hecant protect the country even though the latest terrorist incidents are happening on their watch and they say Labour cant manage the economy, even though our economic situation as we stand is less than enviable andpublic spending as a percentage of GDP is rocketing under the current administration.

Ultimately, it is reality that hasreally killed the Conservative campaign. The average Brit has seldom been as worse off in modern history and it is high time the majority gets heard in this election rather than the few, which became Labours alternative strapline to Mays lukewarm Strong and Stable pledge. AsRay Barron Woolford wrote here, in Tory Britain the rise of the food bank and debt is the fastest growing sector for business opportunities. The Government no longer sees this a badge of shame or failure it refers to it as the Third Sector. AsPaul de Hoest added in this piece, inequality and the housing crisis are no accident they are a direct consequence of Government policy, and the Conservatives answer to a crisis at the bottom is to impose less welfare spending and more tax cuts for the already wealthy.

Jeremy Corbyn had the relatively straight-forward job, he says, of simply pointing this out. And what a job he has done. On Monday night thousands of people turned out to watch him speak on the banks of the River Tyneas Theresa May struggled to fill a medium-sized room on her campaign trail. He packed out Birmingham last night and received rapturous support inScarborough, Hebden Bridge, Liverpool, Cardiff, Reading, York, Leamington Spa, Manchester and Cambridge.As Adam Turner wrote here, Corbyn has done more than any politician in history to engage young people in politics.

In the end hismessage was simple; Britain needs to snap out of its trance if things are to change, and with hours left before we go to the polls it seems the hypnotists grasp may just have faded away.

Hi Ferry! Firstly, congratulations on the release of your album Blueprint. Ithas been no time at all since the albums release and its already being toutedas a game changer for the genre. How does it feel to be at the receiving endof such a positive response?

Hi There! Thanks for interviewing me. Im absolutely over the moon with the response of my fans and reviews regarding the album. It was a really long process to make the album, blood, sweat, and tears, but seeing the responses, it was worth all the work.

We have always seen you being extremely inclined towards sci-fi and weconstantly see you questioning the beginning of the universe and its creationswith your tracks. How did the idea for blueprint come about? Does this albumanswer all your questions?

Ever since I was a little kid, Ive been a big sci-fi fan. The interest in the unknown and what lies beyond that always grabbed me. For this project I had a chance to work with both my favourite interests, scifi and music. So this was actually a no brainer. When I hooked up with David it was great to work together and build a storyline from my idea. The album definitely gives me some answers to some questions Ive had, or rather shares in a concept level what various possibilities can be.

How did the collaboration with David H. Miller happen? How was yourexperience working with him?

I got to meet the David (the screenwriter) from my manager who was a friend of his. We hit it off very well and working together was easy and fun. The flow was fantastic. Working on the storyboard and at the same time the music definitely inspired me in creating the flow and mood of each track that was to be made.

Can we see you working on upcoming albums with a similar concept or bycollaborating with a writer?

I always say never say never. I dont want to pigeon-hole myself to a corner that all my albums will have a story or collaborated with a writer, but it was always a dream I had and glad that I took the time to do it. I must say the process of creating this album was absolutely amazing.

The album follows a storyline. It has a lot of pieces that come together as yougo with the flow of the album. You will also be going on a Blueprint albumtour. What can fans expect to see on this tour? Can we probably see a tourconcept coming up which uses visuals along with audio to recreate this storyon a larger platform to give the fans a complete musical and sci-fi experience?

We definitely have a lot of visuals made for this album that I will be using for the tour. I definitely want clubbers to enjoy the experience of the music and not entirely of the audio story so there will be snippets here and there but it will not be an album listening session. That is for sure. At the end of the day, the album was also for the music, so my fans will becoming to listen to that.

You recently visited the NASA John F Kennedy Space Centre! How was yourexperience there? Can we expect it to inspire any of your work in the future?

It was AMAZING!!!! Im so lucky to be able to have gotten that opportunity. It was a dream come true. It was definitely inspiring, but actually more jaw dropping.

We see you working with a little bit of Morse code on this album. You haveearlier used Morse code on L.E.F too. What is the message you are trying tosend out through it? And how did the fascination for Morse code arise?

Yes I did on L.E.F and there was an actual meaning connected to it. It was so cool to see how some people deciphered it too. Ive always been fascinated about morse code. Its music, theres a tone and a rhythm. Music communicates to people in different forms.

We saw you use a very different strategy to release your album where fanshad to unlock parts of the album which would take them to the next step. Howdid it work for the album? Was it carried out to give more of a mysterious feelto the album?

It was a lot of fun to see how my fans were curious about the album. We did it because we wanted to have a more mysterious feel, and at the same time, due to its complexity allow people to understand the flow of how the album is played.

Who is Lucas in the album based on? Does it represent you?

Hahahaha, maybe just a little bit. Im nerdy enough to be Lucas but not that much of a loner

Finally, do you have any message you would like to send to all the peoplelistening to the album? Any suggestions as to how one can enhance theiroverall album listening experience?

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my album. Ive been following my social media closely when my album was released because I was curious ( and yes ) a bit nervous on what the feedback would be like. Im touched and grateful for the positive responses Ive seen so far. I love it that some people have gotten the concept on the first listen, Im honoured that some continued and ended up falling in love with the album and have kept listening to it over and over again. Although I do love every track Ive made , Ive always felt that when I listen to the audio in the beg, it helped me set the mood of the meaning of the song. Again, thank you for your support and allowing me to do this.

Trance enthusiast. Armada Ambassador. Content writer. Im not afraid of 138! Making people give Trance a chance.

All about Blueprint with Ferry Corsten - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

Techno, trance and house is played quietly enough for babies at Big Fish Little Fish. Photograph: Stephanie Malkoun

Big Fish Little Fish started in London in 2013 with the slogan 2-4 hour party people. On Sunday afternoons, big-name DJs play family-friendly timeslots at licensed premises a welcome antidote to the nauseating mums and bubs activities that fill suburban libraries and yoga studios on weekdays. The events soon spread across the UK and this weekend past, they launched in Australia. Our family was intrigued.

My partner spent his youth raving in London, and devoted several summers to chasing sound systems across Europe. Hes now a 40-year-old father of two who plays classic rave anthems to the newborn. The six-year-old was keen to go because the event promised bubbles, dancing and face paint but at two weeks postpartum, I was less convinced. Taking a newborn to a rave didnt exactly sound like a relaxing Sunday.

At 2pm, Melbournes La Di Da is packed, but the atmosphere is genial, relaxed and wholesome. Half the brightly dressed clubbers totter around at knee height, wide-eyed and ecstatic as if someone spiked the cordial. Parents take selfies to capture this milestone: their familys first rave. A teething baby gnaws on a glowstick. Apparently the biggest security problem is baby shoes going missing on the dancefloor.

Techno, trance and house is played quietly enough for tiny ears. Thanks to a quality PA system, it still sounds rich and bass-heavy. The headline DJ Jamie Stevens is known for playing at grown-up music festivals, and I throw some shapes in an arrhythmic, motherly fashion.

My partner looks at ease bouncing to Underworld, while the newborn sleeps on his chest in a harness

Its hard to cut loose while trying to avoid kneeing a child in the face, plus my daughter keeps tugging at my hem to beg for money to buy cupcakes. I fantasise briefly about creche facilities. But it feels uplifting to dance, as if my body is waking from the hibernation of pregnancy.

The line for face painting is longer than the bar queue. I had expected to see some heavy boozing, but the parents seem to be pacing themselves. Champagne is popular, befitting the mood of tentative, responsible celebration.

Everyone at the event is either under six or over 35. Some parents look like theyve come straight from supervising their kids footy match, but many have dug out their old reflective baggy trousers and furry waistcoats. There are plenty of dads, which is refreshing when so many family activities are targeted to women. I overhear one father reminiscing that he took his now-wife to this same nightclub on their first date.

It seems to be a bonding opportunity, where couples can relive their pre-kids days without forking out for a babysitter. In the UK, music festivals such as Camp Bestival have been tapping into this market for years, and Australia is finally catching up. While cuddling his baby on the dancefloor, one of the DJs tells me he is thrilled to play a gig that his family can attend. My partner looks at ease bouncing to Underworld, while the newborn sleeps on his chest in a harness.

The clock strikes 4pm and, as a finale, a parachute is unfurled over the dancefloor. Kids lose their minds with glee as their parents hold them aloft.

As we walk to the car, the six-year-old says she enjoyed the parachute and drinking a fizzy drink the most. My partner says the event reminded him of the 90s club night Whirl-Y-Gig. Oh, and the newborn? She has slept through the whole event a sure sign of her approval.

Mark Dynamix is DJing the Sydney launch of Big Fish Little Fish at Portugal Madeira Club in Marrickville on Saturday 24 June. A second Melbourne event, on 23 July, is already sold out

This New Trance Event in UK Announces an Incredible Lineup - Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

For many music fans, the art and craft of the album have been lost to a digital age, for others, the vision of a concept album often lacks that atmosphere-enhancing quality. Dutch electronic music producer Ferry Corsten is an artist who shares this view. Music fans wanted the old Ferry back. I was getting sick of my music I was sucked into this, spending the whole EDM everything that sounds the same, Im at fault, I felt I was going to deep into it. You know your f****** hands up, everybody jump, and I was like Ok Im done with this. What do I really like, you what I am longing for, its the sound of the early 00s. Trance fans got exactly what they wished for as Ferry Corsten releases a true concept album conceived by a wilful passion for recording how the music delivers its story, entitled Blueprint. EDM Sauce had the opportunity to interview Trance pioneer about his new album and documentary setting release later this month.

Your new album Blueprint, cant stop listening to it, it's like a storybook.

Right! So it's great when you say that that is exactly what I was hoping it's amazing I mean yes it is a story is what I try to do, I knew that a new Ferry Corsten album was due same time I felt like I don't want to just do another collection of music with an album. As well as many people playing like the phenomenon of the album is dead and I disagree, you know and vinyl is coming back too.

While the album transports you into a portal of sound and light, escaping from the reality we all face, a concept that will inspiration to another artist or trance fan. Helping you to face your fears and dont take no for an answer, Blueprint is more than an album its an audio book.

Vinyl sales are shooting up right now I cannot imagine a case like people listening to vinyl, you take the record to put it on for 2 seconds, to you talk the needle and put it on the record, it doesnt work like that as soon as people are listening to vinyl again then that there's patience you don't just put vinyl on and subconsciously in my mind it helped make the decision of doing this but actually I want to do something like this or even for a long time like I like the music album that had something more like a different dynamic to it and just the music and so I think I created my hybrid between them, an audio book.

Feeling stuck in the EDM scene, Ferry wanted to explore his appreciation for the art of screenwriting and film scores and bring to the project a wider scaling approach. Workingwith friend and acclaimed screenwriter David H Miller (of House Of Cards and Rosewood fame), the pair worked closely on storyboarding a narrative to accompany the album's conceptual direction. It was all a reaction to a response.

Yeah so basically my dad said to me when I was filming the Gouryella documentary (coming out in June) and he said Ferry why you take the next step? Take a plunge, do something with an unspoken word. He hit the nail on the head. My friends manager is David H Miller so its him and me and we had a sit down, so I hit it off straight having the same likes in science-fiction, and he said now let me put a dress something up and shoot it over to you and we made a concept and thats how it was made.

Throughout the storyline giving nods to the proses of iconic sci-fi authors such as Jules Verne, Hugo Gernsback and most distinctively HG Wells, whilst equally sharing familiarities with modern day shows such as The OA, Westworld and retro Sci-fi-fest Stranger Things, Blueprint is an explorative piece of work that puts Sci-fi at its interstellar core. Hollywood actor Campbell Scott (known for The Amazing Spider-Man and The Exorcism of Emily Rose) provides his voice as the narrative of the album flirts between first and third person narration. A unique style for one of the biggest names in the electronic scene but Ferrys attempts with Blueprint is to bring a wider perspective to the listener, and give what the fans they want, as he aims the album to be inclusive of dimensions of religion, history, idea and science fiction.

It was very cool what I really liked about this whole process is you sit down with some writers and ok I think the hardest part of writing a song is to find the actual concept and the actual thing to write about with this having a story ultimately gives you that platform that that first wave of inspiration to write and you know. It's very cool but it sent on everything had to work together with the song had to make sense with the story but script separate a story and the song still had to make sense without the story for people who don't know the story just you know what I mean so I the only difference like that pitfall along the way.

Can you talk about your documentary?

When I brought it back after thirteen years, I said you know it's like OK what did I do what ferry was 25 years old you know when I was in 1998 what was I thinking so I went back to my old projects just trying to find the younger Ferry back then I found this one this older synthesised track, which was only was released and in Japan. So this is what the younger was thinking so I took the melody from the track then brought it up to todays standers but with the old vibe and there was an era you know so, when it came out the response what so touching that the trance wanted that not like the EDM trance stuff and the track got released based on the response I brought it back as live show and based on that response I decided to bring to bring it back with an album and some scenes from concerts and make into a DVD. This is what the fans wanted.

I started working on Blueprint right around the same time I was bringing back Gouryella, so thats why Gouryella is on the album so Im merging the two.

Can you give some inspirational words to the up and coming producers out there?

The thing that I firmly believe in is to stick to your guns, do your thing, dont copy that track that you're a fan of, invent your own music.

Take A Journey Into Space with Trance Pioneer Ferry Corsten - EDM Sauce

You heard it right. Trance DJs Grabriel and Dresden are coming out of the shadows and are now planning to release a full length album.

Anyone who knows trance is familiar with this legendary group. They have been touring and releasing music since their inception in the early 2000's, and after being absent for so long they have now finished an album which has been in the works since November 21st, 2016.

Quoting from their Kickstarter update on May 28th:

We are happy to report that we finished mixing the album yesterday morning just before our flight to Phoenix to go and DJ. We are overwhelmed, exhausted but also so grateful for what we have achieved thus far and excited about the road ahead.

The only issue for them right now is finding the right record label to release this body of work under. We all know how important marketing is in the music world today and how much of an effect a record label can have on the actual release. They have usually released through the Organized Nature label but have decided they want to find, A record label who can do the proper marketing of this project so maybe we can get our music on the radio, In films, on tv shows and hopefully even in the charts. They also have yet to master the album and decide on artwork.

Regardless of everything that this album still has to go through before it can be released to the masses, it is really great to see this amazing trance duo come out and release music again. I am very excited to see the finished product and I am sure you all will be too.

The album is set for a mid-June release. Get ready for the return of trance.
