Summary: Trance Mission Episode 4 (Still with me?) The fundamental question is: Are you Still with Me? Apologies to all but I took a little break.. A few lines to frame the context: I have had the set on my HD for now 4 months. I actually mixed it the day of the Charlie Hebdo massacre, hence the intro and then I kept it and kept it and .. kept it. I had received a few pointedly true comments relating to the previous set, which, decent as it was, did contain a few too many poppy tracks. I may ( well I did...) have overdone the Sophie Ellis Bextor segment.. What can I say, I am just a weak old middle-aged straight man.. Not an excuse, just a statement. Anyhow, I thought I would wait until Trance Mission Episode 4 was the best I could produce. Not inferring it is perfect ny now but the version I am publishing ticks all the boxes, covers all the criteria I had set for myself. It is not just Trance, but House, Chill, Progressive, Tribal, Deep and also Trance.. It is what I call Trouse and is the genre I would love the most if it ever existed! Let’s set the scene. At the start imagine yourself about 30 minutes from sunset, it’s hot, you are on the beach somewhere and are listenning to Tribal beats. From there let the music wave guide you, take control of your body. Feel the beat, feel the wave and let yourselves GO! The sun will set and it will be time for the party to get on its way. It will start with Trance, Disco, Dance and House anthems culminating in a Trouse fest.. It's a Rave as an early listener mentioned.. Setting the bar high there, let’s see if I have delivered.

Highlights: Absolute gem and a 2015 release is “Still with Me” from the new Chicane album “The Sum of Its Parts”. Originally the track was released in 2013 by Tritonal, Chicane took it to another level with Bo Bruce as a vocalist.. An absolute gem, classic Chicane, as good as Saltwater and his other massive tunes.. Love it!! But perhaps because of the Tribal beat and the haunting melody, my absolute fav is “Now” from King Britt.. If you do not like the tune, stop following me because we are from different planets. In many ways it reminds of Ravel’s bolero.. Same structure, same false simplicity, same perfec(continued)
