Roughly 9 months ago I reviewed a mix I found on Soundcloud, which was made by Edele Andaya. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. And a couple of weeks ago I went on the hunt for some new music, and there was yet another mix done by Edele, but this time it was the third mix in this mix series. So I jumped on it immediately, and have listened to it over and over. Well, not 24/7, but you know what I mean? My morning started with some Dutch Hardcore/Gabber, and I needed to hear something a bit softer, mellow, to soften my mood.
But you might be wondering what is in this mix? Well, the title of this review/mix should give it away, really. It's 90s Trance music, and it's the third instalment. So there are a few other mixes out there by Edele which you should check out. But for now, let's focus on this third one, and see if it's any good, shall we?
The reason I jumped on this mix, was because of one song. It always grabs my attention, whenever I see it, and I cannot let it go by without hearing it, listening to it, and enjoying it. To me it's the pinnacle of the Trance scene in the 90s, one of the best songs ever made, if not the best. But that's down to personal opinions, right? Not everyone might agree, but you have to understand the importance of this song, and it will become clear which song I am referring to.

A thing I've noticed, and only I would notice it, is the fact that this tracklist was nearly without any errors. Any spelling errors. It was close to perfection! And I like that!
But it's all about the music, and the music is great. Edele has done a great job, and has selected really great tracks. Some you might have heard a billion times, but there's still a few in it, which I've not heard in a long time.
The track I was referring to, was obviously Superstring by Cygnus X. You might have guessed it, right? Played at Sensation, and I was there, witnessing it all, hearing it coming at me through those massive speakers. I was in Heaven for a split second.
The mix is tight, and the records are tight too. Really enjoyable, and a real trip down memory lane! A bit like the person in the image: looking at flyers/posters/covers, reminding themselves on how good the 90s music was, and especially how Trance has evolved, but has become timeless.
