Meet the Tech Trance Master – Mark Sherry – Trance Hub (satire) (press release) (blog)

To celebrate 500 episodes, Mark has painstakingly selected and mixed a sonic portrait of his last 10 radio years. Outburst 500 may yet even prove to be the new definitive of what tougher techno x trance means.Whether youre a decade and a half deep or arriving fresh-faced on tech-trances doorstep, what youre looking at right here is requisite.

Thanks for the new interviews guys, appreciated! I put my heart & soul into everything I do, so its really great to reach such an important milestone with the radio show and my career. Its a lot of work every week but I think its worth it. I mix it all in one take on my Pioneer CDJs at home instead of using something like Ableton it keeps things a bit more interesting but more importantly I consider this as being my weekly practice on the decks haha.

As Ive just said its a lot of work but I really enjoy doing it. It keeps me up to date with the trance, tech-trance, psy and techno that I play on the show each week etc. I get a buzz out of doing it, even when Im jetlagged and dying after a busy weekend of touring it keeps me sane haha

I suppose Ive been doing it so long now that it doesnt actually feel like Im mashing up 2 styles together anymore, its just tech-trance to me, so I can do it with my eyes closed (but ears open lol). I would say that Sylenth, Spire, Massive, Nexus, Serum and Hive are my go-to synths just now. I hammer all of these whether its synths, pads, pucks, stabs or basses. One thing to always keep in mind is that your track is always being made for the dancefloor, so try and imagine the crowd standing in front of you and try and picture how they would react to the elements (breakdown and drops etc) that youre effectively creating for them,

Yeah it really blew up for me, it was crazy haha. Its definitely the biggest thing Ive done since my Max Graham The Evil ID remix in 2014. Ive actually done a Psyburst remix of Oasis Crying Your Heart Out that I made especially for my #ASOT800 set (you can hear this set on Soundcloud) but this is going to be purely for my DJ sets this year, it wont be released officially of course I cant see Liam and Noel approving it somehow haha. Im also planning to do a follow up to Follow Me in the summer time that will be in my Psyburst style.

The Gatecrasher Laser Unity set in Sheffield was absolutely nuts, we loved that one! Well only be doing some of special B2B sets on special/exclusive occasions though.

We have very similar musical tastes. We love percussive and tribal grooves, big soaring/emotional trance melodies and crazy techy drops, so its a real no-brainer for us to want to work with each other whenever we can.

I cant name 1 in particular to be honest, but you can easily the Outburst residents on the label that are all completely smashing out the bangers on a regular basis. I dont want to show any favouritism haha.

The EDM bubble has burst, so a lot of the guys that left the genre a few years ago are now flooding back to the trance scene. 75% of us have never left trance though, so its quite amusing to see just how many people are trying to come back without anyone noticing. The promoters are all jumping on this but I think its a good thing. The stronger the scene gets the better it is for us all, Id say. I dont think about it too much to be honest, its business as usual at Sherry/Outburst HQ..but I think its going to be a huge year for trance! J
