Peach At The Beach. I thought I heard it all. I thought it was a euphemism, but it was actually the name of an event, which took place a few weeks ago, in Bournemouth. I wasn't there, obviously, otherwise I would have known that it was the name of an event. But from a quick Google search, it turns out to be a great event. It had a nice line up, and who doesn't love House & Trance? And one of the sets recorded at this event has been published on Soundcloud, so obviously I had

It is only Tuesday, but it certainly feels like the weekend is just around the corner. Temperatures are going up and up, and the garden looks like a patch of grass which could have easily been in Greece, Italy, or anywhere else. It is dry, it's hot, and I'm WFH. How pleasant is that? This feels more like being on holiday (besides the WFH obviously). This temperature makes me want to go outside, enjoy the Sun shining on my big head, whilst sipping on a nice cocktail (yes, I am

Oh, what a lovely day. It is Saturday, and the weather is gorgeous. Obviously, as the whole of Europe has been extremely warm throughout the last 2 months. But everything seems to be perfect. Not just the weather. The chores have been done, and now it's time for some PS5 time. Later tonight a wedding party, so all is going to be well. And accompanying me this weekend, is a splendid mix which has been on repeat for days on end, yet Soundcloud does not show it on their 'FANS' s

Sharing is caring, right? I love it when people share. It gives me the opportunity to find new music, without actually having to search for it. The mix you are about to listen to, is yet one of those mixes. I have been extremely busy this week, and also recovering after seeing Tiesto in London last Sunday, but now I finally have found the time to sit down and give this mix a go. And yes, you have guessed it right, I'm still on this Trance wave, and I'm not getting off anytime

Saturday, the day before Sunday. Normally that means absolutely nothing, but to me it means a lot. Tomorrow it is time for me to go to Silverworks in London, next to the Thames, and party my ass off. I've said it in the last few reviews, and I'm getting more and more excited. Maybe you are not a Tiesto fan, or maybe you once were, but not anymore. But I have been since the late 90s. and have listened to many of his mixes, and had the pleasure to witness him at Innercity in 20

Today it's all about Trance music. The previous review was focussed on classic Trance anthems, and this one goes a tad faster, and more heavier. Obviously, if you have read the title, you know it's all about Hard Trance, and as I'm about to see Tiesto on Sunday, I want to listen to as much Trance as I can. Hoping obviously that the legend will play some Hard Trance anthems, but I highly doubt it. One can only dream, right? He might, you never know. Only Tiesto will know. I ha

What a long week it has been, but the good thing is, is that the weekend is just around the corner. Just a few more hours until we can embrace the sunshine, without being stuck in an office, or in my case, home office. It has been boiling inside (32 degrees Celsius inside according to Hive), and living without airconditioning, it is certainly torture. At least I had my music keeping me company. And today's mix is certainly one getting me in the mood for this weekend. Why this

Dustin Hoffman. Not my favourite actor in the whole world, but if he's on screen, I would not watch anything else. He has been in some amazing films over the years, and he has certainly earned his respect among fellow actors. Of course, he played in a certain film I watched when I was younger, and was kind of obsessed with (Hook). A well respected actor, and the one Rígur Lárus chose for the ninth edition of his 'Take' series. Not the latest instalment, but certainly one you

I am back! Back with a brand spanking new mix by Antone. And what's so special about this one, is that it's a full on Trance mix, dedicated to an event which is taking place in a few weeks from now, in the Netherlands, and the event is called Luminosity Beach Festival. And if you are a Trance lover, this is the place to be. From June 25th till June 28th, scattered among a few stages, you will have the biggest names in the Trance scene, doing their bit to please the Trance fan

2001 was a great year for Dance music. I can wholeheartedly confirm this, as that's the year in which I decided to rave my arse off, more than before, and during that year I also bought most of the compilations out there, including the one you are about to listen to. It was also the year I went to Mysteryland 2001 at Six Flags theme park, in the Netherlands. That whole year was so damn good, and the year mix, which was released by ID&T, it summed up the year beautifully. To

DuMonde, a.k.a. JamX & De Leon. These names still resonate in my head, and they've been part of my youth during the years when Hard Trance dominated my life. I still love Hard Trance, but nothing can compare to the sound coming out of the scene around the Millennium, and that's when DuMonde was active, and destroying speakers all over the world. They came, they saw, and they certainly conquered. Their songs have stayed with me for decades after they had been released, and I'm

It is Monday, and it's a bank holiday in the UK. Which is very lush, and it also means I'm not doing much today. No work, just chilling. And chilling can sometimes be very exciting. The thought of doing nothing can be liberating. But you need to have some music playing, to keep you company on your quest to do absolutely nothing. And today's mix is one that has accompanied me throughout the last week, and it might be invigorating to you, if you let it. The series is called 'Sh

Ferry Corsten. Ferry freaking Corsten. A name I grew up with, and he's been around for a long time now. Longer than 20 years. Actually, the image might be misleading, as you might presume that he's only been in the game for 20 years, but the mix has been on Soundcloud for 14 years! And he's been around for even longer than that, if you were to check his Wikipedia page. Ferry has been around, and done everything imaginable. A true legend in the Trance scene, and a pioneer for

I don't know if I have listened to the first instalment, or if I've written about the first one, and if I haven't, apologies to Eddie Swales. And another thing to add, is the fact that Easter is way behind us. I'm always too bloody late. But maybe he can forgive me, by reading this review (which was written after Easter 2026 lol). It's not about when the mix was released, but what's in the mix. And what's in this mix, ladies and gentlemen, are a lot of records. A 3 hour long

I am fully aware of which day of the week it is, and it is certainly not Sunday. I hope that doesn't defeat the purpose of this review, nor when you can listen to the mix by Baggie. It is Monday, a new week has started, and I'm already looking forward to the upcoming weekend. Still a few days ahead of us, and maybe to get us ready for the Sunday coming, and whatever you've got planned for that day, this mix might be the right one for you. I would not normally say this, but br

The weekend has arrived, and even though it was nice and sunny during the week, it is now bleak and dreary. The Sun has disappeared, and it's grey. overcast, and raining. From 23 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees today, the weather has changed. So I'm not feeling very summer-ish nor do I feel the weather is contributing to this feeling. In fact, it is making it worst. Let's go straight to our trusted source of music (Soundcloud), and see if there's anything there that could lift o

Today is a very good day. Not only is it a national holiday, but it is also the day which is special to me and my wife. 17 years together, and still going strong. She made it even more special, by presenting me with tickets to see Tiësto in London in July of this year. Which is super awesome and very wholesome, and I thank her for that. Not seen him for years, nay, decades. I remember seeing him at Innercity 2000, and then nothing. But yet, he's been an influential figure whe

The weekend is now officially behind us, time to focus on yet another week. Another working week, in which we need something to keep us going. And today's mix is one I've found by accident, which has been on Soundcloud for 3 years, and has been hidden away from any plays. A four and a half hour long mix, by Trancefamilynorth (that's a mouth full!). If you want to have something to get you through today, just press play, and let this mix guide you. Unless you do not like Tranc

Another day at home, another day of finding a new Soundcloud channel we all should be embracing. This time, the channel is called Coldwired Podcast. Not heard or seen this channel before, but it was only yesterday I spotted a mix which was released 3 days ago. One that contains Trance from the 90s and 00s. And you cannot go wrong with that, can you? Unless you mess it up royally, but that doesn't happen that often. And I can confirm that it certainly isn't the case with this

Where did the weekend go? Christ on a bike, time does fly by, doesn't it? It is already Monday, and we are back to normal. A normal working week for all of us, and I was thoroughly enjoying the weekend. Maybe it's time to introduce a 5 day weekend, and a 2 day working week. That would be amazing! But that's not happening in this universe, maybe in one of the MCU multiverse worlds. But one can hope, and one can dream. And some even have a dream machine.... Well, not literally

The weekend is about to land, but we still have a few hours ahead of us. As long as we stick together, we can get through it. I'm here to assist you through today, and how would I do that? Well, I might have found a perfect Friday mix for you all. Mixed by Sam Garlick, and it's a Trance mix. Need I say more? I probably have got more to say, but we should be focussing on this mix. And also the fact that it's Friday again. Where does the time go? It goes too damn quick. It has

Look at how long he looks! He looks very young, but truth be told, in 1997 he was 27/28. He looked much younger though, if I'm honest. But he was still a rookie in the scene, but not for long. He was slowly growing, and people started to notice his name and what he could do behind the decks. Not only a DJ but also a producer, and his biggest hits would still come later in life. But in 1997, he was already making waves, and according to the internet, this is the oldest Tiësto

Saturday, the day of rest. And today is such a day. Not doing much, but the standard chores and Playstation time. And in the background some excellent music playing. Today's mix comes from the channel Legacy Trance on Soundcloud, and it's a 68 minute long mix, with some interesting Trance anthems. It was actually a guest mix for another channel called TAMMAC, which I've not heard of before, but I will give a follow today. Anything Trance related brings a smile on my face, and

Who remembers Dance Valley? I certainly do, even though I've never been to one. It was always on my list, but it never came to fruition. It remains a wish to this day, even though the line-up doesn't appeal to me anymore. Maybe the early years were more my cup of tea, especially the years surrounding the Millennium. What I did do, was buy all the Dance Valley albums over the years, and listen to the livesets, which were broadcasted on Dutch radio. And one set I've found only
