Resuming my Trance Mission with “The 138 bpm Drop”   Balearic Trance Journey. Drop both your inhibitions and your gear and let the journey start!   If you do not like real (but frenetic at times) bangin’ trance, I strongly suggest you give this one a miss… yet, you will have foregone quite a journey…   Firstly, I have to thank Lars for giving me the inspiration to put this set together. Lars has been supporting this space for quite a while and has always commented (positively or not) when he sees a new upload.   Recently, Lars contacted me when, in between my hiatus and completely uninterested with the current offering of traditional house, I uploaded the 2 Quanta of Solace. Once again he gave me the will-power to revisit that old love of mine, Trance, Progressive House or what I call Trouse.   In the past, I have always chided from high bpm Trance. Anything over 130 and I would either never get there or prefer not to include it in any set. Partly for I felt it was frenetic and partly for I assumed I (and by extension) you were too old for it.   The algorithm I use to choose a playlist in preparation for my sets is programmed by design to nicely keep tracks, keys, bpm and flavours in a tight range. And since I like to start slow to build up, I very rarely get to reach anything over 130 bpm.   There is vast blog space on the Internet dedicated to the question “ Who is afraid of 138 bpm Trance?” There is even a label called “ Who is afraid of 138 bpm?”…. Well, in many ways, I am!   This being said, in order to continue the Trance Mission and be true to the genre, I always knew I would eventually have to get over that fear.. I worked without the algorithm and here we are. Set is 80% over 132 bpm by DESIGN!   Vielen Danke Herr Lars. This one (good or not) is for YOU! Sorry for all the florish but had all those dits and felt like trying them out..   Another reason to resume the mission, was a request I got a few weeks ago to play for Mardi Gras for a LGBTY party in Sydney. The request was flattering, yet due to not being in the right headspace at all and natural performance jitters, I chose not to consider it. I told the promoter that I would send him a demo of what I thought would be the right journey for such an event for the boys.   Well, here it is!   As a general comment, this set is very ornate. In many ways , it is more a case of Xtian trying to take stock of what he can do and tediously learn new tricks than anything else. But along the way I am putting out there all the new edits and mashups I have been toiling on, which might just be a bit TOO MUCH in one go considering my modicum of talent but it feels so good to have them out there and await your reaction and so good to have them safely saved and backed up on my HD for a future live set! As an added bonus (for me): after the mashup of Silence and Missing from a few years back, I have now semi-cracked a mashup and counter-mashup of Finally and Silence.. Yippee, I can finally rest.    Obviously, not every track is fresh and current. For Trance is all about anthems and there are at the most 3 or 4 a year! I did try my best to include a few I never played before. As I had used a few current great tracks in the two previous Quanta and did not want to repeat myself ad nauseam, I decided to try out all the edits I have been working on in the past and had lost when my library got corrupted. Call it a bulk early release, other would call it premature ej...... but sorry I just had to..   Even more satisfying, almost all tracks are new Xtian Edits of mostly unkown remixes and , for better or for worse, you get the added bonus of a few of mashups I am quite happy with.   Now close your eyes, imagine you bought a ticket for Ibiza, got yourself sorted and you are ready for a genuine balearic Trance (continued)

Second Quantum of Solace (In the Air CX 134)   Refer to previous podcast for an update on my status.    I mixed this second Quantum of Solace during an 8 hour flight. The only post-edit is the intro, in many ways unnecessary but I felt like tying the set up to the Quantum World. Furthermore, should you be a fervent follower, you have already endured many a time my love for intros..   Numerous Xtian edits, set mostly in the progressive house, trance space I want to stay in at the moment. And herein included quite of few 2015-2016 tunes, which is a bonus!   A bit of sugar, some alternative tracks and quite a few on my personal high-rotation list . Enjoy!   I have another quantum on my hard drive, mixed during the return flight. I will post it when I have some time.   Some of the tunes featured are on my favourite current list: - “I Need You” from SK1 - “Peace of Mind” and “Counting Down the Days”, not to miss very current trance/progressive gems from A&B. - “My Head is a Jungle” from the Dior advert with Emma Louise a great local vocalist from the indie scene.    Playilst:   2016 Intro The Universe of Saltwater [Xtian Edit].

First Quantum of Solace (CX Lounge) I really should start with the simple fact that I have put myself on a hiatus.. Several reasons for my current status: A) Life is currently non-linear and the pressure to keep this podcast up to what I believe should be my standards would not really bring any escape. B) I had found that laately what I uploaded was at best mundane. If I do not feel it, why should I do it? Furthermore I am currently over soulful house, I do need to really get very far away from it for a while to start feeling it again. C) I played a long set on New Years’s Eve and though not bad same non-urge to publish it. D) What happens once every two years, my library got corrupted. I had to bite the bullet and migrate to my new mac, having lost most edits and settings. To rebuild a library to the structure I need takes a lot of time and tagging and I simply do not have that luxury at the present time. But here I am, travelling overseas, facing lounge downtime, flight downtime, hotel room downtime, all those little quanta of Solace conducive to trying to redefine where I would like to be musically should life settle down a tad. My current headspace is progressive, ambient, trance-like and possibly harder-like in the near future. Playlist is approximate due to library corruption just when I had closed the set. The format is based around one or two keys, starts around 120 bpm to go to 136 and brings you down back to 122. A few on-the-fly edits, a very cheeky mashup I will get in trouble for (Rick Astley trancified really ;) and yes a bit of true trance.. Absolutely 100% Live with all the traps inherent with such an endeavour where no post-edit is possible.. Playlist: 2016 We Can Talk (Larse Dub) [Xtian Liberate Edit feat.

I Play for Paris Pt.3   Twisted Original Club, Progressive and Trance anthems and a couple of Rock ones!   Fittingly starting with “Sympathy for the Devil”, diving straight into Progressive sexy house with a hint of Club House before a Progressive – Trance House climax.  First time I get people to actually dance to my beloved Faithless, must have been the time when everything clicked and kicked in.   One month ago some nihilistic losers butchered 130 women and men in Paris…   Forget about the social media meltdown, France is my country and Paris my city. Whereas France is actually far from being the model country it aspires to be, by attacking “her” for being the “capital of prostitution and obscenity”, those bastards just proved that somehow those symbols of secularism and freedom are still alive and worth celebrating.   Forward to a few days ago… I was unable to mix anything, which wasn’t dark and filled with anger for a month until we decided to have an impromptu party. The core nexus of friends who could make it facing Xtian who was wondering what would spark his muse and how he could get out of his negative loop and make himself and his friends happy.   I played a 4 hour set, took about 20 minutes to get into it but once I found the right format for this forum it flowed. Got out of my spleen and played fun eclectic jams, old and new edits of tunes everyone knew but cuts they had not heard before. Whereas my usual format is to play current paid releases in whatever genre takes my fancy, I went into a “Richard Vasquez/Doctor Love” mode and played for me and for my friends.   Four hours later, they were asking for more and pushing me to go harder and louder. Take that nihilistic butchers, this is our answer to your dead-end philosophy.   Set is cut into 3 parts, slightly edited of what did not quite work live but true to the spirit of the night.     Part 3 is simply the culmination of all that.

I Play for Paris Pt.2   Handbag House tunes bordering on lipstick Pop!   Fittingly starting with “Too Young to Die” with a rather long medley of Moloko’s “Sing it Back” in the first third. At that stage, I had to attend to some social duties and cued what is one of my favourite tune to fill up the blanks.     One month ago some nihilistic losers butchered 130 women and men in Paris…   Forget about the social media meltdown, France is my country and Paris my city. Whereas France is actually far from being the model country it aspires to be, by attacking “her” for being the “capital of prostitution and obscenity”, those bastards just proved that somehow those symbols of secularism and freedom are still alive and worth celebrating.   Forward to a few days ago… I was unable to mix anything, which wasn’t dark and filled with anger for a month until we decided to have an impromptu party. The core nexus of friends who could make it facing Xtian who was wondering what would spark his muse and how he could get out of his negative loop and make himself and his friends happy.   I played a 4 hour set, took about 20 minutes to get into it but once I found the right format for this forum it flowed. Got out of my spleen and played fun eclectic jams, old and new edits of tunes everyone knew but cuts they had not heard before. Whereas my usual format is to play current paid releases in whatever genre takes my fancy, I went into a “Richard Vasquez/Doctor Love” mode and played for me and for my friends.   Four hours later, they were asking for more and pushing me to go harder and louder. Take that nihilistic butchers, this is our answer to your dead-end philosophy.   Set is cut into 3 parts, slightly edited of what did not quite work live but true to the spirit of the night.     Part 2 is simply feel-good handbag house.     Playlist:   1 Too Young To Die (Shane D Remix).
