A beautiful and melodic track is Ravels by William Orbit, many of you may know him better because of his Adagio for Strings remixes that were also featured and remixed by Tiesto. Get this ViVa television trance video recording at http://rapidshare.com/files/196724691/William_Orbit_-_Ravels__Ferry_Corsten_Remix_.mpg

A totally different era and music style genre is that of N-Trance and their chart-breaker “Set you Free”. I dont like the crap quality at youtube, which is why I located the video below http://rapidshare.com/files/196722026/N-Trance_-_Set_you_free.mpeg. It has nice audio and video, so for a high-quality version get the one above. In a similar fashion, Alice Deejay was producing tracks: better of alone for instance. The TMF 2000 awards mix features a variety of Alice Deejay trance songs:

Moby, starting his career sometime in the early 90s (listened to his Essential Mix on Radio 1 the other day from 1994 or so, its awesoem but you really hear all the cuts and fades) had some ear-catching themes in the charts as well, his famous tracks include Porcelain, Why does my heart feel so bad and also the soundtrack for the james bond movie (was it goldeneye?). Find below the three trance videos in high quality.

Also in the 90s, but more towards the end, Mauro Picotto, Italian DJ and Producer, became quite famous (at least in Germany) with his hard-style of trance and songs such as Iguana, Komodo (that is the one with the lizard) and back to cali. I own many of his vinyls, mostly from the label BXR, one of the harder sides of trance. Below you can get three trance videos of Mauro Picotto and one interview.

Speaking of Germany and the 90s, Members of Mayday were quite famous, too with their single “Sonic Empire”, a classic rave theme that many would mistake for trance.
I found one track, culture flash, which you may like, too.

In a similar hard fashion to Mauro Picotto, Kai Tracid (he is German I believe), rocked the dance charts with track such as “Too many times” and “Trance and Acid“, get the two Kai Tracid Videos below from rapidshare:

Now jumping a bit in time, 2003, Lasgo, with her rather cheesy Trance got major media attention and also won the 2003 TMF awards. The remix below features Sylver, Milk Inc. and Faithless: they are redoing an alltime classic, INSOMNIA. Really a nice version and the birds look fit, too.

A year later, Ferry Corsten, one of the world’s best DJs performs at the 2004 TMF awards – http://rapidshare.com/files/196677746/Ferry_Corsten_-_TMF_Awards_Theme_2004.mpg , his performance didn’t really blast me off the chair, but it is a nice track anyway.

At the same year, Tiesto was also performing at the TMF awards. http://rapidshare.com/files/196675855/DJ_Ti_sto___Skin_-_Opening_TMF_Awards_Holland_2003.wmv. However this was in the Netherlands and not Belgium. Another Tiesto trance video is “Suburban Train”, a legend of a track and one of my all time favourite songs:
http://rapidshare.com/files/196674550/DJ_Tiesto_-_Suburban_Train.mpg, the video is really well laid-out and done, love it.

Did you know that Tiesto and Ferry Corsten were producing together some time ago? They were behind “Gouryella”.
Gouryella is a Dutch trance act comprising Ferry Corsten and DJ Tiësto. The word itself means “heaven” in an aborigine language.
The heart breaking and cool techy song and trance video is available here http://rapidshare.com/files/196678101/Gouryella_-_Ligaya.wmv

A similar, rather slow-ish and soft trance, vocal trance song and video is by Delerium – Innocente. It also sounds a bit like “breathing by Rank1 and dreaming by BT” – or I am mixing it up now… http://rapidshare.com/files/196675812/Delerium_-_Innocente__DJ_Tiesto_Mix_.mpeg

Faithless’ “WE COME ONE” track was one of the first songs that they released after their (longer) break and hits like “God is a DJ” and “Insomnia” – We come one, trance video in high-quality at rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/196678120/Faithless_-_We_Come_One.mpg

Earlier in the post I mentioned ATB – also a German producer and DJ. I believe many of his tracks are not known outside of Europe, so if you are from “the other side”, you may want to check out

You are not alone is based on the version from Olive and a real ear-worm, be sure to grab those.

In 2005 I attended Sensation White in Amsterdam where David Guetta played “tainted love” for the first time in a dirty-trance-house-ish remix, the entire Sensation White video is available in four parts here:

(may need renaming, so par that is listed first will become part1.rar etc.)

Mp3-Version of the set, without video

Speaking of Armin van Buuren, he is nowadays the best DJ in the world and chucked Tiesto of his throne, below are the trance videos of Shivers by AvB and the theme song of “24″.

Not trance at all, but rather oldschool is Luna-C‘s track “Angel” which, some claim, is a autobiography of Luna-C.

In case you are not from the Netherlands, you can only get your Trance Energy 2008 tickets as an e-Ticket from Ticketbox.nl. Got your eTickets for Trance Energy 2008 yet?

In the past years they used to ship the tickets physically to your post address (in my case to Germany), but this is no more-
After purchasing your tickets you will receive two e-mails, one with the order confirmation and all kinds of numbers and one with the eTickets in form of PDF documents. Hurry up, as Ticketbox closes their gates 9 days before the event – to get tickets then will cost you plenty…

The Trance Energy 2008 tickets have an unique barcode on them (that is why I blacked mine out), which allows easy entrance to the event.

Trance Energy 2008 line-up and event information have been posted earlier here.

So I will be going there with hevy – are you?
If you do, txt me and we will have a beer or two!
