Most of the show went fine but near the end I seem to have had a bit of trouble with my internet connection…

At the end I wanted to raid mayor but I don’t think that worked, either… anyway, I am very happy that I don’t rely on anything in the internet for the recording of the show. 😀

However, as I found out after I had already started the upload to Mixcloud, my playlist generation tool does need internet… I had to manually add two tracks that I played while the internet was down, like some kind of pleb. Disgraceful.

So, bunch of new tracks today, what did we have? The ones that stood out for me were:

• The Equinøx remix of “7 instead of 8” by Rank 1
• Greg Downey’s “Invaders”
• “Sparks in the Night” by Elysian

And the Favourite of the Week™ this week is “Eris” by Hassan Jewel and Transient!

Even if you were present from start to finish today, due to the internet outage you will have missed something, so you damn well better make sure to catch up on everything. Right here. Button. Do it.

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

I have noticed in the past that I somehow dig the tracks I play in the beginning of the show way more than the tracks I play later in the show. Am I in fact more of a progressive trance fan than a vocal/uplifting/melodic trance fan?! Not sure. I’ll have to keep an eye on that…

Anyway, today was a notable exception! I found myself really digging tracks in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end of the set. Here is an excerpt of the tracks I really liked:

• “Memoria Eterna” by Aether, the new project of Andrew Rayel
• “Elixir” by Drival and Steve Dekay
• “Pacific Tide” by P.O.S.
• Will Rees’s remix of Sneijder’s “In and Out of My Life”
• “Blueberry” by Probspot, remixed by Markus Schulz

Now, the Favourite of the Week™ has a bit of a story behind it… Spotify told me about this track, and I immediately set out to locate it but it wasn’t in the Trance charts!

Turns out, it apparently took a wrong turn and entered the Bass House charts! So, I guess we’re doing Bass House now! 😂

Anyway, here is the Favourite of the Week™: “Blood Pressure” by Andrew Bayer!

This track and the other track can be listened to by clicking the button. Click the button! CLICK IT!

The next show will be on Wednesday, March 13, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Wow, I totally forget to publish last week’s post, and I also managed to not see any comments about that on the CQAH Discord! 🙈

Okay, let’s focus on some good things, e.g. all the new good tracks I played tonight! A selection of those is:

• “Losing Control” by Jody 6
• Ashley Wallbridge and John Grand, “Echoes”
• Aly & Fila and Lostly, “The Unknown”
• “Moonlight” by Alex M.O.R.P.H., Marjan, and Woody van Eyden
• “Skyfall” by Kinetica
• “Remember the Future” by Christian Cambas

As Favourite of the Week™ I picked this beauty: the Rina Mirai Tech remix of Rinaly’s “Astrology.”

I managed to start the stream one minute late but you can listen to it right now, without any delay. Isn’t technology wonderful? ☺️

The next show will be on Wednesday, March 6, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Mountainbytes has come and gone, I drove 2100 km on four different days, I spent a lot of money on pizza, and I enjoyed it all!

I also enjoyed the following tracks tonight:

• Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston, “Crazy Love”
• Allan Morris and Martin Drake, “Outrage”
• Allen Watts, “Violator”

As Favourite of the Week™ I picked “Voices from Beyond” by Jake Ayres:

Even if you didn’t miss a single second of the show, you can still listen to it again right here:

The next show will be on Wednesday, February 28, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

I will be leaving for Mountainbytes on Thursday morning, which means I need the Wednesday evening for packing all my stuff, and that means that this week’s Newsflash is a day early!

So you had to wait one day less to hear these cool new tracks:

• Andrea Ribeca, “Destination Outer Space”
• Metta & Glyde, “Breathe”
• Yoshi & Razner, “Genesis”

And you also get the Favourite of the Week one day earlier! As was noted in the chat, this track is indeed banging: “Street Rave” by Maria Healy.

If you missed everything but the last three tracks, here’s your chance to listen to the 30 or so tracks that preceded the last three tracks:

The next show will be on Wednesday, February 21, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Alright, February has kicked off, and we’re off to a good start!

The releases that stood out for me this week were:

• Steve Dekay, “Twilight Rave”
• Nitrous Oxide and Katie Marne, “Stay”
• Davey Asprey’s remix of Kosheen’s “Catch”

And of course there was the Favourite of the Week! By Emma Hewitt, Ilan Bluestone, and Maor Levi, together under the name of Elysian, this is “Light Years.”

If you missed everything but the last three tracks, here’s your chance to listen to the 30 or so tracks that preceded the last three tracks:

The next show will be on Tuesday, February 13, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1. I can’t stress this enough, it’s going to be one day earlier than usual! Don’t miss it by being a doofus!

Well, say goodbye to January, everyone! That’s roughly 8.5% of the year gone. Don’t be all surprised when the next End of the Year mix is being announced!

And it’s probably going to be another massive one. This January alone will add 16 tracks to it… if that continues, the next mix will have roughly 200 tracks and will last for… uhm… 16 hours? Oh boy, I don’t think I could survive that. 😄

All the tracks can be checked out below in the playlist, and I’m going to give a special mention to one or two of the tracks, plus there’s going to be another Favourite of the Week, too. One track I really liked (and that made my admin interface crash 😂), was “Is It Trance?” by David Forbes. It’s most definitely on the border line somewhere between trance and techno but dang, it slaps. Then there was a flashback to L.A. Style with Indecent Noise’s “JK Is Dead,” and John Askew remixed “Save Me” by BT and Christian Burns. The Favourite of the Week, however, is this gem: “Crimson Moon” by Cris Grey and Parnassvs! Check it out right here:

The whole show is, as usual, available right here:

The next show will be on Wednesday, February 7, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

January is progressing quite nicely, one more show to go and then we’re already deep in February territory!

But first we need to get January over with. So… what did we have? As so often, many great tracks, and the playlist below has all the details.

The Favourite of the Week is by an apparently brand-new artist named Mark Wilks, and the track is called “Deepest Truth.” Check it out below!

The whole show is being kept fresh and waits for you to press that button:

The next show will be on Wednesday, January 31, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

It’s Wednesday, my dudes.
Time for me to play some tunes.
You don’t want to miss that.

Okay, time to move on!

The new year is starting to shape up nicely, and I’m already looking forward to this year’s End of the Year mix! Well, talk about anticipation… 😄

First things first, though: this week! What did we have? Lots of stuff. Check the playlist below! For the Favourite of the Week, I picked this track: “Why So Serious” by Diandra Faye and Roman Messer.

You can listen to the other tracks without it being Wednesday if you hit the play button right below:

The next show will be on Wednesday, January 24, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

It seems the change of the year has finally caught up with us, or have we caught up with the change of the year?

Either way, there were only six new tracks I could present to you today. A special shoutout needs to go to a track that debuted last week on my show, the 2023 Remastered Version of Lost Knowledge’s “Delirium” — somehow this track managed to totally slip by me unnoticed. Great track!

And there is another track which deserves a special mention, because it somehow was very much not like the other tracks, and not in an annoying way but it an unexpected and rather good way. I have to admit, I did not expect to play… uh… trance rap in my show? But yes, “Run” by Vizionn was pretty cool, too.

However, I am old and set in my ways so of course this week’s Favourite of the Week is the new release “Release” by Nhato. 😄

The rest of the tracks are good, too, make no mistake! And here you can listen to them yourself:

The next show will be on Wednesday, January 17, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.
