It seems I have been on a 138 BPM kick lately, and to add to the ever-expanding “DJ Gotek repertoire of 138 BPM mixes” I finally got around to recording this earlier in the week on Monday, August 15, 2016, after several weeks of delay due to business travel for my “real job” (haha)! This one was a lot of fun and I was able to cross a few more of my favorite EPIC classics from yesteryear off my bucket list to use in a mix; this time I even busted out my old Trance vinyl collection and the Technics turntables to add in some very vintage and rare tracks straight from vinyl, which was a load of fun as well, although you may hear some scratches and pops due to the years-old & well-played vinyl plus it’s so hard to get the levels to sound right with this really old Trance compared to the super high-fidelity new production stuff, of which there are some incredible just released spine-tingly and highly euphoric CHOONS on here as well. From the classics side I kicked it off with one of my favorite long-lost tracks from the early days of Trance on vinyl, the eternally awesome Super8 Remix of Aurora’s “Sleeping Satellite”, and also included Thrillseeker’s incredible remix of “Can You Feel” by Sholan, plus a recent insane remake of Goldenscan’s "Only With You", and end it off with the timeless and haunting "Choose Freedom" by Ultravibe, all of which are many, many years old now, and names you probably have not heard in a while, or perhaps even EVER haha, and it's all just as good all these years later!!! This one also features the brand new epic release from Swedish Trance powerhouse Bjorn Akesson ("Paper Dreams"), whom I am honored to be opening for in Seattle this month at the Underground on Friday, Aug 26, SOOOO EXCITED about this one!!! Lastly I would have to say Aimoon’s brand new release "Thunderbolt" is probably my very favorite track on the mix, or is it Alex M.O.R.P.H. and "Sunset Boulevard"?? Hard to say.. but needless to say there is all sorts of incredible stuff on this 84 minute behemoth of Hi-NRG Melodic Trance action to help you finish off the sunny days of summer. Hope you enjoy the set, and as usual, thank you for listening and for the support, no matter where you are. Hello from Seattle and Cheers! -Mark
