Factor B Podcast: Recent Episodes
Factor B
When it comes to the world of uplifting trance, the name on everyone’s lips is Australia’s own Factor B. In just a few short years, his unique & often classical styled productions have re-ignited trance purists across the world in big numbers, quickly establishing himself as one of the most sought after names in trance.
It began with ‘Stratos Galaxias’ in late 2014 & quickly grew to a string of 8 x Beatport #1’s, a ‘Pure Trance’ mix CD for Solarstone & an elite tour schedule across the globe at some of the world’s biggest festivals and club events such as Tomorrowland, EDC, A State of Trance, Dreamstate & Gatecrasher to name just a few.
The foreseeable future of #propertrance is no doubt in safe hands with Brendan taking his music and shows to the next level in 2021 with his forthcoming ‘Theatre of the Mind’ album set to drop, accompanied by his open to close / Extended set TOTM tour which is taking the world by storm, selling out from San Francisco to Australia!

Free Download All we ask is that if this remix has resonated or touched you in some way throughout the years, please take a moment to make a contribution to a special fundraiser we have set up in memory & support of Ellie, which can be found here: www.gofundme.com/f/ellies-dancer-for-cancer
6 years ago I was given an amazing opportunity by Aly & Fila to remix what I believed to be one of the best trance vocals I'd ever heard.
The excitement and meaning to Ellie & I at the time was immense and once I began playing it out at shows around the world, that feeling only grew - so much so that I decided to keep it close to my heart & exclusive to my live sets.
Since Ellies recent & tragic passing, the tune & its lyrics have transcended themselves, leaving me with the feeling that the time has come to share it with everyone in memory of my beloved Ellie.
For the next 24 hours I will be releasing this special remix as a free download.
All I ask is that if this remix has resonated or touched you in some way throughout the years, please take a moment to make a contribution to a special fundraiser we have set up in memory & support of Ellie, which can be found here: www.gofundme.com/f/ellies-dancer-for-cancer
Thank you to Aly & Fila, FSOE, Armada & to everyone for making this tune so incredibly special to Ellie & I over the years.
Much Love. B

So many things had to go right for this show to happen. And I'm so grateful it did, 2020 has been a tough year for touring artists, so having the opportunity to play to a crowd was quite special. Socially distanced, limited capacity, but lots of that #propertrance energy for my debut in Finland!
Huge thanks to the team at Ravenation for making this show happen!! Enjoy! BB
