Lunch Trance – 2024-11-13 – Newsflash

So, my new MacBook arrived on Monday, and foolishly I issued the command “brew upgrade,” having forgotten that I – for whatsoever reason – installed Engine DJ using Homebrew. Which means it got updated. Which means it also upgraded the collection on my flash drive. Which means that the player was like, “nope, not touching that.”

Luckily I was prepared! I had no idea that this was the scenario I would be preparing for, but, eh… prepared is prepared! So I grabbed one of the backup flash drives, copied the missing tracks and was good to go!

We did have a slow week with only ten new entries, but there were a couple of tracks I was looking forward to. Nitrous Oxide released a new track, with Katey Brooks and Simon Gregory, named “Skylight;” RRAW! (aka Talla 2XLC) remixed a real classic, “Adagio for Strings;” Above & Beyond released “React;” and then there was the Favourite of the Week™:

You really need to listen to this show. It’s not a suggestion, it’s just your current state. You need this.

The next show will be on Wednesday, November 20, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Only two months left until the End of the Year™ mix, the best 12 hours (or maybe more) of this year! I don’t have a date picked yet, but as soon as I do, you’ll know.

Some of the tracks you might hear include MRPHLNDR’s “MELODEMON,” Allen Watts’s “Soulsearcher,” Jordan Taylor’s and Lyd14’s “Keep You in My Heart,” and probably also this week’s Favourite of the Week™: “Fleeting Moments” by Doppenberg.

If upon listening to the show (like, right here 👇) you’ll notice other tracks that might be good candidates, be sure to bring them up in the comments!

The next show will be on Wednesday, November 6, at 19:00 ⚠️ CET/UTC+1 ⚠️. Just as a reminder that I am not on Daylight Savings Time anymore, so if your timezone does not have the same rules regarding to DST switches, make sure to check with your local time bank to find out when I’m actually playing!

It’s Halloween next week! Does that mean anything for next week’s show? No, it does not!

I’m glad we could clear that up. 😁

The show started directly with an awesome track (“Eternal Transit” by Elan Myles and Rick Pier O’Neil), and it went uphill from there, all the way to the Favourite of the Week™ (“Give Me a Reason” by Coulson and Jason Gray), and, actually, it stayed awesome until it was over.

If you think that my summary of the show is somehow not representative, listen to the show yourself and drop me a comment below!

The next show will on Wednesday, October 30, at 19:00 ⚠️ CET/UTC+1 ⚠️. I marked that in a bold font because Germany will switch from daylight savings time back to regular ordinary German mealtime, or whatever the dark times in the winter are called.

Oh, wow, what a show. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to star eight different tracks! I usually end up with way less, but those eight tracks will be joining us at the end of the year for my big End of the Year™ mix!

Some of those great and very noteworthy tracks were “Sarabande” by Armin van Buuren, Vini Vici, and Anna Timofei, “N13” by Cody Wong, “Within Our Dreams” by Kenny Palmer (he’s back! 🥳), the Eftihios remix of “Verdi” by Mauro Picotto, and “Overworking” by Ashandra.

This week’s Favourite of the Week™ is this track, though: “Lighthouse” by Connor Woodford! A name with five vowels, and all of them are O’s! 😄

You totally, absolutely, positively have to listen to this show:

The next show will on Wednesday, October 23, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2. I think this is going to be the last show where I’m on summer time, so if you’re not in my timezone, your local time may change soon!

Two days in a row with a show! I’m really spoiling you, aren’t I? 😄

But it had to be this way! I can’t be held responsible for what I do!

Either way, again we had many great tracks in tonight’s show, and one of those was “Human” by Amy Wiles and Nourey. I liked it so much that I voted it as Favourite of the Week™ (where it won with 1 out of 1 votes)!

And, as usual, here is the recording that will help you live through the next week:

Two weeks of break and today’s show really started off with a whole bunch of bangers! (Vacation was great, too, but — of course — way too short!)

Now, I could list all those great tracks here, but I’m way too lazy for that, so I’ll leave you with the Favourite of the Week™, “Make This Moment Last” by Alan Morris and Stine Grove, and I’ll recommend that you listen to this show yourself, at your earliest convenience!

(Here’s where you do the listening thing.)

The next show will be tomorrow at the usual time, 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

Today was the last show before my actual vacation, but don’t worry — there will be a show next week! Well, at least if you define a “week” as the period between one Wednesday and the next… 😄

Next week on Wednesday we will still be in our beach home at the Baltic Sea, but we will return shortly after that. The show might happen on Friday, or on Saturday, or maybe on Sunday? I’m quite sure it will not happen on Monday, but it might happen on Tuesday. Isn’t this existing? 😆

Before I leave, I will leave you tonight’s banger of a show, with new tracks by Gareth Emery, Marco V, Renegade System, Asteroid & Driftmoon, Freak E Beatz & Protoculture, Stoneface & Terminal, Airscape & Johan Gielen, and this week’s Favourite of the Week™ is a remix by Dan Cooper of Mauro Picotto’s “Lizard” from 1998!

There’s a number of other remixes of rather old tracks in there, see if you can spot them all!

The next show will be sometime next week; stay tuned for details!

Today was the last show before my two weeks of vacation, but don’t worry — there will be a show next week! We will only be leaving for our cozy vacation home the day after next week’s show, so the show is safe!

It’s also safe to say that we had a bunch of nice tracks today! As soon as you’re starting to listen to the show (hit the button below!) you will be greeted by the Favourite of the Week™, and of course it’s nobody else than Richard Bedford! Together with Above & Beyond (what a great team they are!), here is “Heart of Stone!”

And the rest of the show is worth being listened to as well, so do so right here!

The next show will be on Wednesday, September 25, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

We are back on our regular schedule, but I already do have another interruption of said schedule to announce: due to being on vacation I will not play a show on October 2. The show will happen in the week after that, probably on the Tuesday again, giving you another week with two shows!

Enough talk about the future, what does the present have for us? New tracks, that’s what! Andrea Montorsi teamed up with Renegade System and brought us “4 Your Love,” Ferry Corsten teamed up with Silva City for “Chaos,” and Alina Renae, Craig Connelly, and Nicholas Gunn — guess what — also teamed up, for “Miss You!” Oh, well, I guess David Forbes released a new track called “1994,” all on his own, and Enigma State gave us “S-Bahn.”

Dedicated fuckings have to go to Ahmed Helmy for releasing a total banger of a song (called “R4VE 401”) but then cutting the Extended Mix to 3:07. Not a typo. What the actual fuck, Ahmed?!

Anyway! This week’s Favourite of the Week™ is also a team-up! Please enjoy “Signs” by Guava Project and Numa!

Listen to the whole thing again right here:

The next show will be on Wednesday, September 18, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.
