DE-KEN April 2004 mix

It's a trance set, but I call it Dance Music because I wanted to avoid playing just one type of trance. In the end, I just want to play good dance music!

With that being said, I tried to avoid simply playing the latest hits off of the popular radio shows like Armin's ASOT, etc. As some of you might be able to tell, I didn't just want to play all the LATEST hits, so you will find quite a few tracks from 2003. I wanted to mix it up with a bit more variety, so I included all type of trance, like tech, prog, and of course my favorite, epic & uplifting. Even threw in a techno track.

The tracklist:

01. DEEP ORANGE & DJ ACCESS - Destroyed Reality
02. FRED BAKER - My Thing [Dimitri Andreas rmx]
03. AGNELLI & NELSON - Holding onto Nothing [Paul van Dyk edit]
04. SMITH & PLEDGER - Forever [instrumental mix]
05. ATB - Marrakech [A&T rmx]
06. SALT LAKE - Rendezvous
07. GREEN ATLAS - Communicate
08. TERRY BONES VS FRED BAKER PRES. WATER PLANET - Introspection [John Askew rmx]
09. SUPER 8 - Dawn
10. SMITH & PLEDGER VS MATT HARDWICK - Day One [Above & Beyond rmx]
11. AALTO - Rush
12. IMRE CORTE - Kentari [Wellenrausch rmx]

For all the tranceheads out there, you might be able to tell that I love the epic style, especially since I included four Anjunabeats artists! I could have thrown in more nice epic tracks, but I didn't want to play just all straight epic anthems.

Overall I'm happy with the mixing, although I would have to admit that there are some spots that are not the sharpest. Feedback and criticisms are welcome, although not necessary. Just download and give it a listen. If you enjoyed it, it'd be nice to let me know.

Thanks!

Disclaimer: This is by no means any professional mix... just a mix I made because I love trance. Hope you enjoy.
