Wow, this week had a lot of new entries! Twenty-nine tracks displaced more than half of last week’s tracks, making this probably the least stale episode ever.

In other news: we contacted some people last week who had a cat to give away and after a short visit the couple currently owning the cat decided to give him over to us. He will arrive on friday and my wife has already switched to cat heaven construction overdrive mode, painting, sawing, and building a couple of things that the cat will hopefully enjoy.

If all goes well I will have some pictures to show next week.

The next Top of the Week show will be on next Wednesday, April 20th, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

So, work has picked up again and it’s keeping me busy. Anyway, it was Wednesday once again so without further ado here is last week’s Top 50:

The next Top of the Week show will be on next Wednesday, April 13th, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

Last week of my two and a half week vacation and I’m already dreading the first day I have to work again… but that’s for next week’s me to worry about! Tonight’s me only had to worry about some small audio trouble in the beginning (for which I suspect a faulty cable is to blame, I will investigate) but the rest of the show was smooth sailing — until we arrived at #20 where a track we all had hoped to never see or hear again re-entered this week’s chart! Oh, the horror…

The next show is on Friday, April 1st, at 11:00 CEST/UTC+2, and it’s going to be another Top of the Month, celebrating the best releases of March in one huge mix. I’m very much looking forward to the gems that made it into this chart but none of the weekly ones…

The next Top of the Week show will be on next Wednesday, April 6th, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2.

The first week of my vacation is over but I don’t quite feel totally relaxed yet. Let’s see what next week brings!

The next Top of the Week show will be on next Wednesday, March 30th, at 19:00 CEST/UTC+2. I will probably play a Top of the Month show on Friday, April 1st, at 11:00 CEST/UTC+2 but that isn’t finally decided. Stay tuned for more information next week!

The last week has been quite busy for me; I will be – starting tomorrow – on vacation until the end of the month and there were a lot of things to tidy up at work. Nevertheless the trance charts don’t stand still and so there were 24 new entries to present this week!

Due to my vacation the next show is going to be a Top of the Month show on this Friday, March 18th, 2022, 11:00 CET/UTC+1. The regular Top of the Week show will return next week, on Wednesday, March 23rd, 2022, at 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Remember last week when there was very little movement in the charts? Well, that was last week. This week half of the tracks have been kicked out and replaced by brand new tracks. Yes, 25 new entries this week!

And even at the top there was quite some movement. Two of the top 4 tracks were as far down as #30 last week, and last week’s #7 even dropped down to #36! And finally, Tinlicker used all the commotion to re-enter the Top 20 at #19. Sneaky!

The next Top of the Week show is going to be next Wednesday, March 16th, 2022, 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

This week (well, last week, really) was a week of slow movement, so there were only five new entries but six re-entries. Crazy shit! And Tinlicker dropped from #24 to #25 which surely means that it’s going to leave us very soon, right? Right?

The next Top of the Week show is going to be next Wednesday, March 9th, 2022, 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

No audio problems this week and a whole bunch of new tracks again! Tinlicker – for some reason – is back up to #24 and I discovered a bug in the spreadsheet that I use to print the week’s playlist (for taking notes and stuff); nothing that kept the episode from being great, though.

The next Top of the Week show is going to be next Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022, 19:00 CET/UTC+1.

Another great episode of Top of the Week, many new tracks but it started off with some technical problems as some part of the audio chain running on Windows decided to not properly do its job and instead deliver a horrible experience for my listeners. After two kicks against various shins the show could then finally proceed… so if you had to suffer through multiple stream restarts and bad audio you should definitely listen to the while thing in pristine quality again:

Now, I have a day off on Friday because I need to do some stuff early in the morning but I thought that after that I could play the first Top of the Month show of this year… I’m really looking forward to that, it’s been quite a while since I played one of these and for various reasons I do enjoy them differently than the weekly shows. I have no idea whether I will be able to play further shows on Fridays or whether I will need to use the weekend though with no demoparties to go to I could probably take off one day each month…

So, the next show is a Top of the Month and it’s on Friday, February 18th, 2022, 11:00 CET/UTC+1 (not a typo, 11 in the morning, where do you think the name “lunch trance” comes from?). The next Top of the Week show is going to be next Wednesday, February 23rd, 2022, 19:00 CET/UTC+1, as per usual.
