It is Tuesday, Trance Tuesday! Don't know if it is an official term, but if it isn't, I'll make it official. You've heard it here first. But what you might not have heard, is this brand spanking new mix by TranceAdikt. And the mix is filled with Trance classics, which I love, so that's always a bonus. But what could be even better, are the reworked versions of these classics. A few months ago I discovered a mix which contained similar tracks, and I really loved it. This reworked vibe, we need to keep it alive. Keep the classics alive and kicking, by reworking them!

Obviously nothing can compete with the proper classics. That's just a statement you can rely on. Nothing is as good as those glorious anthems. But sometimes, a rework or remake, or even a remix, can make it sound even better. That's not always the case, as the original can be so damn good, nothing can top it. But it can elevate a record to an even higher level. And in rare occasions, it can even be a fantastic experience, to hear a rework that sounds better than the original. It is a rarity and it doesn't occur that often. But every so often you hear it, and you immediately prefer it over the well known record.

This is a nice and gentle mix, with 15 records, of which you know the originals. But these are reworks you might have heard before. To be fair, I've not heard any of them before, so I went into this mix without any judgment. Going in blind, and was pleasantly surprised. Not the first mix I've encountered from TranceAdikt or the channel which posted this, TranceFormerz. But certainly one I was interested in, and so should you!

Wonderful mix. What a tracklist, one I wasn't expecting. And it takes you on a pleasant journey through the Trance classics selected by TranceAdikt.

It's a nice selection. Great to hear on this cold and miserable Tuesday evening. And so many great memories are linked to the original versions. But we aren't talking about the originals, we are talking about the reworks. And they are great, really great.

I don't think I've heard these songs before, so I was kind of baffled to hear them at first, but I've warmed up to them. Especially when I heard ''Dreams''. What a magical song. Love it. It builds up to a tremendous moment, when everything just comes together.

Unfortunately it has got ''Kernkraft 400''. That's the only downside to this mix. Boy, do I dislike the original. That song is like the flu, it's everywhere, constantly. And it gets in my face a lot. When it was new, it was exciting and fun. Now it's just meh. And the rework isn't for me, as it reminds me too much of the original.

A great mix nonetheless. Worth checking out, if you want to hear something familiar yet slightly different. Open your mind to something exciting, and this mix won't disappoint.
