It is not often that you find a label that is ever true to their trance roots. All to often a new label these days, Only One Recordings started in early 2008, will go down the electro or hard tech-trance path. Here we have a label that is not only pioneering the uplifting and euphoric sound of trance, but also doing it in style with the likes of Oen Bearen, Ex-Driver and many other great trance artists on board.

As mentioned previously I picked out some tracks and I’ll put them here using TrackItDown’s HTML badges for you to listen to…

Hopefully they have given you enough faith so you understand why I have chosen to write about this fantastic label that I really hope to see grow and develop a great catalogue of releases in the future.

That is it until we have more Trance Tuesday suggestions next week!

Hope you are all enjoying the blog, any suggestions please drop me a line and stay tuned for podcast information coming soon about DJ Codey’s Epitome of Sound Sessions exclusively here for you readers to listen to!

Cheers

RR recordings originally started out as RR records founded by Ron van den Beuken with the first release in 2001 called ‘Mystery’ produced under his alias The Mystery. 2009 saw the name change to RR recordings and re-launch under the parent company Spinnin’ Records. Since then there has been multiple releases (I count six at time of writing with various remixes) that take a familiar sound and drive it home once again to the dance floor.

Some of my favourites so far have been the labels rework of The Verve’s ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’ and Chicane’s ‘Saltwater’, in the form of Cartouche’s ‘Bitter Sweet’ and Ron Van Den Beuken’s ‘Faraway (Harry’s Game)’ respectively. Their back catalogue is worth checking out too with releases from Sam Sharp and DJ Tatana.

Cruising Through the ranks as one of the most hotly tipped Tech-Trance acts of the moment Mac & Taylor are set to hit the heights in 2009. Aptly named “New breed tech-trance legends” by top music download site TrackItDown.net this liverpool based DJ/production duo have captured the attention of the worlds elite DJs and the world’s trance scene in general.

They have seen support from the likes of Judge Jules, Agnelli & Nelson, Sander van Doorn and many more for their productions that have been released on Couture, Abstract Recordings, Stampgevaar Digital, Beyond Digital, Communicate Recordings and Infexious Recordings.

Going through their releases on TrackItDown.net, they have an impressive list already that are all quality releases ready to demolish dancefloors across the world, and have done just that!

P.S. Next week there will be a little change in the rules of Trance Tuesday so we can spread the word and make it easier for all to take part. Some of you have already been doing things differently, so it only makes sense for me to go with the flow.

To confirm my beliefs along with many of his fans, he was snapped up this year by PFAgency and also made Goodgreef resident.
Well done to Jordan, he is a down to earth lad from the conversations I have had with him and deserves all the success he has achieved. There is not a doubt in my mind he is going to climb even higher and become a regular name on the international stage.

Along with superb DJ talent skills, Jordan Suckley has been getting his hands dirty in the studio and has had some excellent tracks released. My favourite so far being Mac & Taylor Vs. Jordan Suckley – Animal. It really raises the roof with a hard, gritty, tech-trance sound!

To celebrate his residency placement at Goodgreef Jordan Suckley made the following mix for everyone to enjoy.

So this weeks Trance Tuesday Wednesday is Brighton, UK based DJ named Roben. I had him down to play some time ago for my own event in Portsmouth, UK called iLLuMIDanCe and his latest mix is perfect. So yeah this one is a little more personal as I have personally previously booked Roben to play, but I hope you enjoy his recent demo mix provided below as much as I did!

Who do you recommend today?

Ercola feat. Daniella – Every Word (Scandall Sunset On Ibiza Remix)

Cayenne Recordings
TrackItDown Link

If you’ve not heard this one, then what hole have you been hiding in? Anyway, spring has arrived in the northern hemisphere and with it comes massive vocal anthems! I particularly liked this mix because it has a more euphoric sound than the original doing the rounds but does not go off the beaten path too much.

Mark Norman – Life’s Too Short 2009 (Original Mix)

Magik Muzik
DJ Download Link
An absolute classic reworked by Mark Norman, relive those 1996 moments all over again. Hell, I may even dig out my original CD release for work when I wake up!

OceanLab – On A Good Day (Daniel Kandi Remix)

Anjunabeats
TrackItDown Link

I know some of you are going to frown as to my choice not being the Above & Beyond Club Mix here. I feel Daniel Kandi has just got the tempo right here and I even feel that I prefer the Original Extended Mix over the almighty Above & Beyond :S Another fantastic anthem from Anjunabeats none the less!

Substate – Release (Sa.Vee.Oh Remix)

Joyride Recordings
DJ Download Link

Time to turn up the noise with this release from Joyride Recordings! It rather reminds me of Yoji’s releases of old, think ‘Theme From Banging Globe’ infused with a nice acid riff.

Ben Nicky vs. Adam Hayley – Morning Breeze

Abstract Recordings
TrackItDown Link

2008 was a storming year for Abstract Recordings and has had many tracks hit the No.1 spot in a short space of time since its birth. 2009 sees the labels performance continue and label owner Ben Nicky churning out excellent releases and fast becoming a most wanted man. Here we see another corking uplifting trancer with support from all the big names!

That’s it!

EDIT: Below is the original post made where I intended that Twitter users spread the word of up and coming DJs and artists. Many users were recommending known artists, so in a later post I suggested that people do just that and recommend whoever they like. I will be trying my hardest still to seek out new people in the scene for you all to listen to though.
What is Trance Tuesday?

TranceTuesday is an opportunity for you to make at least one tweet that informs your followers of a new DJ/artist/producer. Look at it as our own take on FollowFriday, but aimed specifically at us helping what we truely enjoy, rather than an internet marketing ploy of gaining more followers

For more on FollowFriday please look at this article… #FollowFriday: The Anatomy of a Twitter Trend
I understand that there is a @newmusictuesday as I did some research seeing if there was already a Trance Tuesday. They cover a spectrum of music though and not aiming at any particular genre from what I can see.

So what do I do on TranceTuesday?

You simply send a tweet about your newly discovered talented DJ/artist/producer!

It can be their username on Twitter, but a much better way of supporting your new found person(s) would be an legite link also to their production or demo mix I’m sure you’ll agree! (Please do not condone filesharing, send your followers to official download sites to pay for the artists work, support the scene!)

The aim is then that your followers who also like your find, will listen to said track or mix and retweet if they like it. You have then helped create a new fanbase and contributed to the scene. I would like to think you focus primarily at up and coming DJs/artists/producers. It is not that I have anything against the likes of Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, etc. I just love good trance music and finding new hidden gems, as I’m sure you do too!

I was deciding between Thursday or Tuesday as you may recall. The reason I decided on Tuesday is as follows:

1. Thursday everyone is looking towards the weekend, not back to last weekend as they do on say a Tuesday. The conversation would be more focused on the forthcoming headliner, rather than the DJ who shined in the back room at 4am.
2. It gives you a chance to recover after the Monday blues when returning back to your Mon-Fri 9-5 routine (if applicable to you

So I announce today as the first TranceTuesday! I hope you all love the idea and take part!

Follow me on Twitter to see who I recommend each TranceTuesday! @ilovetrance
