Orion - Roots (epic trance)
I've been thinking of putting together a mix of epic trance for a while now. It's an interesting genre - I accidentally found a good description from Discogs while browsing around:
Epic trance has "musically interesting, constantly changing elements, and building suspense and emotion through means other than twiddling the frequency knob on a filter."
There's so little of this kind of trance released these days. Long tracks with lots of variety, several parts with different musical themes and truly innovative and challenging electronic dance music.
The sound describes very well where my electronic music roots are and also what was the whole idea of trance back in the day: hypnotic yet beautiful and driving.
Next year I'll concentrate more on new music and leave oldskool aside - at least from the mixes. And as the autumn has been pretty trancey, the next mixes will be based more on house. Let that be the first promise for the new year.
Anyway, the new mix, Roots, contains music from Sunday Club, Bedrock, Sasha, Gloat, Tenth Chapter, Spooky, Seafield etc. Enjoy!
