Classic: Scuba - Adrenalin

If you ask me about my favorite dance track of 2011, my answer is: Scuba - Adrenalin - Hotflush Recordings. Surprisingly enough no vintage dubstep, but let's say trancey techno. And the most beautiful female vocal sample you can dream about.

Classic: Joe T Vanelli - Playing With The Voice In Germany (Paul van Dyk remix)

Sometimes the remix is better than the original. Take for instance Paul van Dyk aka Matthias Paul (Berlin) who tackled Joe T Vanelli's Playing with the voice. 1994. A 23-years-old German guy demonstates his huge talent. Berlin is not only techno city, but also trance village. In 2010 Paul van Dyk is still alive and kicking. Nobody makes trance as emotional as he does.

Classic: Castle Trancelott - Indoctrinate

In 1995, Castle Trancelott - aka Patrick Prins - made one of the best trance tracks in the Low Countries, called Indoctrinate. No surprise that the track appeared on many reputable compilations that year, like Renaissance part 2 (3cd, mixed by John Digweed), La Rocca 5, Serious Beats 17 (2cd) and Trancemaster 12 (2cd). I prefer the original mix to the Way Out West remix. Label: Slate Records (MMP 001X).
