The image above, that's how it looked like this morning, looking out of my bedroom window. The sky looked amazing, and even though it was a bit nippy outside, currently the temperatures have gone up, and it actually feels extremely pleasant. The weather has changed, and so had my mood. And now, I am in the mood for some lovely Trance music. And obviously, my source for excellent Trance music, is Soundcloud. I think my stats from last year did show I was on it for most of the year, and spent way too much time on it. But can you blame me?

I had this mix on list 'favourite' list for a few weeks now, and I did listen to it a few times, but now I have done my chores, and got some time to myself. And I had to listen to it again. And I'm so glad that I did. It is made by Andresen, who has appeared a few times on this website, and it was uploaded 2 years ago, but it was already an 'old' mix, as he made it a few years prior to uploading it. That is obviously an added bit of info, but not relevant to this mix, as the music speaks for itself. And it's all down to the music selected by Andresen.

It contains a few very delicious anthems from back in the day. And a few I've not heard before, or completely forgotten about. And the funny thing is, this mix only contains 7 records, which is kind of short, compared to other mixes I've been listening to lately. 7 tracks, and 1 hour long. Not each, you numpty, but the whole mix. Christ, that would make this a 7 hour long mix, and I don't have 7 uninterrupted hours in a day,

Taucher - Waters (Phase III)
LSG - Netherworld
Planisphere - So Many Ways (Force Mass Motion Remix)
Leama - Melodica
Odessi - Moments Of Space
Delerium - Silence (Fade's Sanctuary Mix)
Yum Yum - Heavy Fluid (Main Element Mix)

This could be the winner of shortest tracklist ever. Took me less than 20 seconds to type. And that hasn't happened before. So already a winning mix to me.

But what a mix this is. Short tracklist, but each track is just so darn good. So influential, and sometimes way ahead of its time. I never knew that LSG's 'Netherworld' was released in 1997. It could have been released in 2000, 2010, or even in 2020, and I would have taken your word on it. What a timeless classic. And definitely my favourite record in this mix, that's for damn sure.

Andresen takes us on a pleasant journey, and the hour flies by before you know it. And I highly recommend this mix. It's got some bangers, and they are played at full length, no radio edits or shortened versions to cram in as many tracks as possible. 7 tracks, that is totally sufficient for an hour long mix. And they are solid tracks.

It was difficult to choose 'Netherworld' as my number 1, and 'Heavy Fluid' is another banging tune, slightly underrated, in my honest opinion. But 'Netherworld' will always top it, any day.

Go and jump on this classic mix. It will not disappoint you. Now it's time for me to go outside, and enjoy the Sun. You do the same, while blasting out this mix.
