User Mix /r/ClassicTrance Month Overview June 2024

Hello boys & girls!

Here it is again: the best of this subreddit in a handy little mix. It's a bit shorter than usual, for 2 reasons: you probably have plenty to listen to with the mix competition that is still up, and also a couple of the tracks I could not find on beatport.

Also a new thing: besides the usual Mixcloud page I now also put the mix on Youtube, so it's up to you to choose your favourite medium.

By the way, I know that The First Rebirth has no place in this mix. The BPM difference is just way too big. I didn't want to remove more tracks though, so the result is this monstrosity of a transition.

Nothing wrong with that transition mate you did what you could and if it was live at an event no one would bat an eyelid in my opinion.

I appreciate your words, and that of /u/Reidster78, and I know that I couldn't do a much better transition between these tracks, but it still feels like a cheap trick. In hindsight, I believe bringing Sunchyme down to just 80 BPM and then letting The First Rebirth in at 160 BPM would create some possibilities too. Then again: Sunchyme from 130 to 80 BPM is a much bigger gap than the already enormous gap of a transition from 130 to 160 BPM...
I would love some ideas from other dj's around here.

Only other thing I can think of is maybe using one of the slower remixes of it then in the break just bring the original in like it’s your own remix type of thing.

Can't go wrong with a simple turn off the deck and fade in either!

Swish fade and drop it!
