In this episode, we shift gears towards the trancey soundscapes I promised last time. Trance is one of the most diverse music genres, spanning many different sub-genres and styles. Today, I'd like to highlight a specific, emerging sound that is fast-paced, heads-down, and sits somewhere between early 90s trance and the psychedelic scene. We call it Raw Trance, and this is where the most forward-thinking and underground trance currently is, in my opinion.

Continuing with the theme of the previous episodes, this edition of Rave Podcast is all about the exploration of techno soundscapes. The first half features a deep and hypnotic trancey sound, while the second half showcases some serious, pounding grooves. I absolutely love this sound at the moment, and I hope you are too! If you're a trance-head, no worries, a trance-focused episode will be coming soon too :-)🎵 Tracklisting:00:00 Alexskyspirit — Sentient Being (Original Mix) [Derailed Records]05:52 Tsott — Tension Release (Original Mix) [Bahn Records]09:07 Tsott — Space Diving (Original Mix) [Navigare Audio]13:40 Ness — Galactic Logos (Original Mix) [On The 5th Day]16:48 Consint — Escape Trunk (Original Mix) [Vitus' Curse]19:42 Rad — Sadness Hill (Original Mix) [Gynoid Audio]22:46 Sam Wilson, NBM — Eternidad Prometida (Original Mix) [Anachronic Records]29:16 Gockel — Junglefever (Original Mix) [Vitus' Curse]33:24 Marco Bailey — Smooth Drive (Alexander Kowalski Rework) [Materia]37:03 Paul Roux — You Know You Want It (Original Mix) [Arts]40:43 KaioBarssalos — Introspective Dub (Original Mix) [Entourage Concept]42:46 Ferdinger — Sun Over Chicago (Original Mix) [Life In Patterns]45:17 DJ Dextro — Curvatura (Original Mix) [Illegal Alien Records]48:15 Hertz — Barracuda (Original Mix) [Sway]50:53 Dennis Caressa — Tribe Of Deecee (Original Mix) [Materia]55:14 Fukumachi — Into The Void (Original Mix) [Be As One]56:58 Lars Huismann — See You Soon (Original Mix) [Dolly]🎙️ About the show:Rave Podcast is a monthly music radio show, hosted since 2011 by Daniel Lesden, an internationally recognised DJ, producer, label manager at JOOF Recordings, and music curator at Beatport, based in the UK.

This episode is all about proper Techno: groovy, slamming, heads-down, and sometimes melodic too. I feel that nowadays many people use the word ‘techno’ to describe something entirely different, sometimes they call progressive house tunes ‘techno’, sometimes trance tracks are mislabeled as ‘techno’, and there is, of course, a whole ‘melodic techno’ thing which rarely does anything to do with techno. So enjoy this proper, real Techno mix (with a couple of trancey tracks).🎵 Tracklisting:00:00 Fabio Florido — Dawn Devotion (Original Mix) [Runa]04:34 Kineta — Cosmic Flux (Original Mix) [UTE] 08:41 Introversion — Hopeless Dreaming (Original Mix) [Makatao] 12:20 Rudosa — The Procession (Obscure Shape Dub Mix) [Mood Supplier Records]15:12 Gary Beck — Ghost (Original Mix) [Mutual Rytm] 18:10 Axel Karakasis — Stunned (Original Mix) [Jeton Record]21:48 Cri Du Coeur — Astro (Hertz Remix) [Sway] 26:07 Paul Ritch — Inner Keeper (Original Mix) [Quartz] 29:35 Sigvard — Neural (Original Mix) [Anaoh] 33:13 Mark Williams — Sometimes (Original Mix) [Hardgroove] 36:51 Tom Hades — Analog Bliss (Original Mix) [Fundaments LTD] 40:29 Keith Carnal — Exorcism (Original Mix) [Second Degree] 44:20 Raul Young — Affright (Original Mix) [MB Elektronics]47:16 Clercq — Circuits (Original Mix) [MB Elektronics] 51:22 Axel Karakasis — Inner Voice (Original Mix) [Remain Records] 55:00 Blue Hour — True (Original Mix) [Blue Hour]🎙️ About the show:Rave Podcast is a monthly music radio show, hosted since 2011 by Daniel Lesden, an internationally recognised DJ, producer, label manager at JOOF Recordings, and music curator at Beatport, based in the UK.
