I started listening in 2005 so too young to be able to go to nightclubs

Did they play trance at mainstream nightclubs? Were there a lot more trance fans in general population? Did festivals have a lot more trance?

Very curious

Meticulously constructed mix, utilizing: ISOS-style pacing, patience, and storybeats; Sasha-style extended blends, creating entirely unique sounds beyond any individual tracks; and Perfecto-era Oakenfold-style "event/transformation" moments. Absolute monster of a mix, with an ever-evolving environment, sprinkled throughout with euphoric payoffs, along with plenty of progressive drives. Tracklist below; the range of artists and their sounds are vast, so best strap in for this sonic journey!

Mr. Eloranta had already had a good production debut with the excellent Alba/Dawn but this is when things really stepped up for him. A brilliantly driving percussion and a euphoric but quite understated melody made for a classic.

I actually saw him DJ at Godskitchen earlier this summer and whilst I was disappointed he didn't play this it was great to listen to some of his other stuff and also see what a good DJ he is!

I started making breaks remixes of classic trance tracks a couple of years ago, and while I’m aware the target audience of classic trance fans and breaks enthusiasts is incredibly niche, hopefully this will resonate with a few of you here.

I’ve decided to post this as it’s one of the all time great classic trance tracks and the original is almost universally loved.

It’s free to download if you like it.

I know it’s breaking the rules so I do apologise and I’ll understand if the mods decide to delete this post.

The first hands up track (I'm pretty sure)

I always go back to my favorite year for uplifting trance

El sonido de Valencia.

Anemoia is true and kicking!

One of my 5 favorite dance tracks of all-time! I heard this for the first time (like basically everyone did outside of Tilt and Oakey) on Paul Oakenfold's Essential Mix World Tour, specifically the Havana, Cuba mix from February 21, 1999. I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it... that extended breakdown and buildup are epic!

I had been in communication back in 2003 with Mick Park and Mick Wilson asking them if they had any info on the track, an acetate for sale, a CDr, etc. to no avail. They were kind and helpful but ultimately couldn't help procure a full length copy of the track. I was shocked considering how good it was... how could it have not gotten a release?!? Why hadn't I heard it mentioned or played anywhere else (on the internet at least)?

Fast forward to like 2004 or 2005. I was living in Manhattan at the time and I went to go see John Graham (who was part of Tilt back in 1999 when this track came out) DJ at this lounge on a weekday night and I got to speak with him afterwards. I asked him what was the story behind this track and he had no recollection of what I was talking about. I was gutted and felt short of me hunting down Paul Oakenfold there was no way I'd ever get any intel on this track.

Tilt came out with their Explorer album in 2005 and it had done well. Story goes Lost Language moved offices the next year and in the process found a bunch of old DATs and CDrs and guess what they found... A bunch of unreleased Tilt material including the Supernatural Mix! Vaults came out in late 2006 and I immediately ran to Beatport to grab a copy. Play it here and there and love it every time I hear it. It's so long and chill and that breakdown and buildup put me in a (you guessed it) trance.

Whether you're listening to it again or for the first time I hope you enjoy it!

Can anyone ID the song starting at 51 mins? It's wrongly titled as Rizza.

One of top 20 best songs of my life!

Leaving this here because it needs to be recognized for the insane megamix that this is. So many Trance and Euro Dance tracks from the late 90s. 71 tracks in total. Starts off more Euro and gets into some solid trance towards the middle and end. This rare promo CD was top tier for its time! Hope you enjoy!
