Trance Classics – Energy 52 – Cafe Del Mar
Sep 6th
The first Trance track in the series of Trance Classics is Three N One’s Remix of Energy 52 – ‘Cafe Del Mar’, released in 1997. One of my favourite all-time trance tracks, that defines what trance really is.
Classic House – Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It
Sep 3rd
House Music started in Chicago in the 1980′s, before I was even born, inspired by Disco music with Soul and Funk sounds. DJ’s began to use the sounds of disco to develop a new genre, using samples and using a bass beat (kick drum) to create a new sound. You really have to go back to when House was first being produced to appreciate proper 100% Classic House.
The First Classic House song I ever heard was Mr Fingers – Can You Feel It, released 22 years ago in 1987, same year I was born. I can’t imagine the amount of times this song has been sampled since then!
I believe Larry Heard aka Mr. Fingers, sampled Chuck Roberts words of “In the Beginning There Was Jack…” in his track.
These Geniuses in Chicago, developed a new genre that has inspired dance music of today.

Tune of the Week – Fonzerelli – Dreamin’
Jun 8th
I absolutely loved Moonlight Party a few years back by Fonzerelli and I still do now. I first heard it at Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise 5 party and loved it. Since then his productions have been nowhere near as exciting, but Dreamin’ is uplifting track with a great Summer sound.
A great melody and vocals which I’m not all that fussed about, Tiesto played the track on his Club Life radio show. There’s also a decent P.H.A.T.T Trance remix of Dreamin’
Other tracks by Aaron McClelland include Toto under his Brazen alias, I Love Music and Spirit plus a host of remixes.

Tune of the Week – John O’Callaghan – Find Yourself
Apr 21st
The first in a new feature on the site, my tune of the week – the best track I’ve downloaded or heard each week.
This week it’s John O’Callaghan’s Find Yourself. Another vocal trance track from the Irishman and the Cosmic Gate remix has already had plays on the A State of Trance radio show. I prefer the original as I really enjoy the vocals by Sarah Howells.
It’ll be released in May 2009 along with O’Callaghan’s new album – “Never Fade Away”. The track is the album opener and also features previous hot vocal releases such as Surreal and the hugely successful Big Sky.
