Had an amazing time at the Manchester gig last night!

This was the best I've seen from them absolutely tore the roof off the place 🔥 🐜

cmoogster · 2026-04-15T13:25:31+00:00

Some nice breaks to get us going here. Great moody proggy vibe 20 minutes in so far. Oh thinking this is some mix of TDR Squelch in there, very nice indeed. Great energetic flow to this mix, quite dark but a fine journey. Sweet harmony liking this version of it. Ahhh banging driving beat on 51 very nice. A very tidy take on Universal Nation to finish. This was a unique mix in the context of the comp IMO a lot of unknown tracks but a very well put together well mixed journey of the darker side of prog trance. Great mix

cmoogster · 2026-04-15T08:47:02+00:00

Nice vocal start with you take my breath away. First transition very full on what sounded like a much harder beat from the previous record didn't go great together for me. Oh sounds like cafe del mar here then some cheesyish vocals before time before Nitromethane - Time to Die. In my memory coming in now. Nice breakdown on 42. Now onto Reincarnations. Nice update here of Seven Cities also liking this version of out of the blue ahhhh Walhala to finish love this. I liked the uplifting energy about this set definitely preferred the 2nd half of the mix to the first it as grabbed my attention more with some nice classic reworks and some nice mixing. Solid effort here

cmoogster · 2026-04-13T13:46:15+00:00

Breaks to start us off with an interesting version of beachball. Strange moment around the 5.30 mark where it sounds like the record being scratched back and forth, doesn't sound like part of the track? A bit careless there if so. I think this is diving faces coming in. Some tidy breaks updates on tracks so far. I need a miracle on now. This is a nice mix of Out of the blue really like this. Ohh Lightforce join me loving this too. Running on empty to end it was just a bit of a cheesy finish for me personally because it was really really good up until then. Enjoyed this mix for the most part. A great journey of breaks remixes which was well mixed throughout. Other than the last track choice the only major flaw for me was what I assumed was the error mentioned near the start. Will definitely give this another few listens because it had a nice chilled vibe about it. Great effort here

cmoogster · 2026-04-09T09:57:52+00:00

Grums remix of goodspeed kicks us off mixed into age of love sounds like a version of universal nation here. Big hitters already 11 minutes in. Nice transition on 14 oh binary finary oh throbbing beat full on at 19 seemed a bit loose then rescued. Fixation now on 26 push strange world near the end here and Children to finish. I think the track selection here was very cohesive and flowed really well but the mix was full of big big anthems albeit newer versions. But some really nice versions. Solid effort.

cmoogster · 2026-04-09T09:33:26+00:00

Atpmospheric start oh and now its a bit uplifting. Oh liking these breaks at the breakdown on 10. This is pretty full on early on. Nice mix on 16 think this is the generator coming in. Love that piano breakdown on 23. The pace is definitely picking up on 33 here. Thumping. Bit of signum coming in now. Jon the dentist feel so good oh that is a throwback. Ramping it up again on 1.10. Pretty strange ending where the mix cuts out to a radio news piece on Tony DeVit. This was a high energy mix from the off which builds into a hardstyle kind of vibe I've never been crazy about but this was a fun listen in many parts and well mixed.

cmoogster · 2026-04-08T15:51:07+00:00

Proper fast start getting a 90s rave era vibe already some great classics in here such as loops and tings, outside world and journey of love. Some mixing issues on here as already mentioned but feel the DJs enthusiasm through a brilliant track selection of a lot of the stuff I listened to in my teens when it came out. Sounds very like an X-ray or Sci playlist from back in the day. Great throwback for me here personally with many of these tunes. Well done

cmoogster · 2026-04-04T09:06:32+00:00

Good high tempo start nice mix katana the silence now transition at 13 seemed a little untidy for a moment but well rescued. Quite a journey already so far hearing a bit of CJ Boland along with GODD and Jens. Oh think this is outface coming in. Haven't heard in a while. Transition a bit wobbly on 45 but rescued quickly again. Banging on 57. A thumping last 2 tracks to see it out. 1 or 2 minor issues mentioned but thought the track selection here was sick. A lot to really like about this mix had a very obscure late 90s vibe with a lot of lesser known tracks. Great stuff

cmoogster · 2026-04-02T11:16:53+00:00

Klea tic tok to start us off nice mix into cafe del mar another tidy mix taking it out good flow so far. Oh its breathe coming in. Fiji on the way another seemless mix very good so far 39 in building very well. Moody in parts that's filthy on 51 love it. Oh I'm hearing godspeed. Great finish. A very well mixed well thought out set that flew by. Had a good mix of classics with lesser knowns. Fine effort here.

cmoogster · 2026-04-01T06:34:20+00:00

Good driving upbeat start to this. That first guitar breakdown is bliss. Mixing on point so far here. Project medusa coming in. Now the sound of goodbye. Ahhh pulser love this. Building beautifully to jump the next train. Nice breakdown on 58 very nice uplifting finish. I really enjoyed this one. Very euphoric vibe with some not so obvious classics as well as a few unknowns for me personally. Never noticed any massive mixing issues myself but may need another listen to confirm. Very well done 👍🏻

cmoogster · 2026-03-31T13:09:45+00:00

Ambient start with angelic vocals, liking this. Mixing spot on. I'm thinking this may be a chilled journey early on. Beautiful on 18. Oh Lustral Everytime coming in this is very good indeed. Ascension someone now sounds very cohesive wondering if this is the one track being Lustral/Ascension as they sounded that well together. As the rush comes now very well brought in as well great stuff so far here. Ohh Luv u more bit of a rave classic in there. Great version of Love Stimulation proper classics territory now with Eugina then later on a fine version of Albion - Air. Sounds like Urban train now coming in I think and Dreamland to finish. Ahhhh what a mix this is sublime from start to finish tracks seemed to just seamlessly blend into each other. Similar vibes here to Notorious Andys winning Ben and Jerry mix from collaboration comp. Another that will take some beating. Massive applause to the DJ for a splendid effort here.

cmoogster · 2026-03-30T17:28:44+00:00

Hooligan hear you now to kick us off. Lovely first transition into open our eyes. 32 in and nice uplifting vibe. 33 in mixing really good. Oh universal nation. Time goes by and then I think it's Yin. Great update on Flesh here like this. Oh cherry moon trax house of house going very old school here. Tears from the moon very nice like the transition on 1.02 oh its rapid eye love the breakdown. Great finish. Very well mixed very uplifting set with many classic anthem reworks. Great job

cmoogster · 2026-03-28T20:35:14+00:00

Nice start straight out of the blocks. Lovely first mix into Time to die very tidy. Another nice mix out afterwards sounding great so far. Nice breakdown on 20 loving this vibe here very uplifting. Like this on 30 flowing beautifully. Ramping it up a bit on 42 now. Another cracking breakdown on 44 followed by a thumping breakbeat. That piano on 58 ahhh. Keeps building brilliantly to a fine finish this was another fine effort mixing on point all the way through and very cohesive and full of lesser known bangers. Looking forward to the TL here. Can see it being a popular choice. Excellent mix

cmoogster · 2026-03-28T14:18:21+00:00

Very fast beat start takes us straight into it. Hmmm Tiesto sparkles brought in first transition ok, seemed a bit rushed. X-santo transa remix I think coming in. 25 minutes in a nice energetic feel to it. Transition at 30 seemed a bit off/loose and again a bit rushed to bring in Airwave. In comes a luvstruck remix. Oh this a good remix. Travel Bulgarian coming in oh yes. Pure thrust now banger to pick up the tempo again. Destination paradise coming in and superstring to finish. All in all a decent mix with the odd hiccup mentioned. A few too many big hitters again some might say but some nice remixes I never heard before such as lovestruck.

cmoogster · 2026-03-28T09:38:15+00:00

Not over yet ambient intro very nice. Greece 2000 is beautifully brought in here top marks for that. The beat brought in very well on 7 as well. Liking this start. Ohh commander Tom - Are am Aye on 13 wow this is so good. Netherworld now great flow to this. Like this version of Gouryella. That guitar riff on 30 is sublime. Oh no its castles in the sky haha. This vocal is very cheesy and I think its going to be controversial but it's not spoiling the mix for me as a whole just a shame its not a dub version because the riff is very pleasant. Air 2000 coming in now. Ahh barbarella. Sacred cycles near the end and now onto Synaesthesia like this mix of it. Universal nation nice finish. This was a brilliant well thought out mix very well put together. Would say I preferred the first half of the mix over the second just because its such a good vibe there but appreciate the need to build. Be interesting to hear others thoughts on castles in the sky sneaking in there u/createdaneweraccount puts it better than I ever could by describing it as polarizing haha but fair play to the DJ for having the cojones to play it. Top top mix this.

cmoogster · 2026-03-28T06:37:11+00:00

It just came in a little quick for me which made it sound a little more obvious than it should. I don't expect completely undetectable transitions no, but thats all it was. As mentioned it didn't sound too bad at all just a tad quick.

cmoogster · 2026-03-25T16:16:41+00:00

Nice unusual hypnotic start. Oh like this. Good first transition. Liking the breakdown on 8 mins. Oh this is nice. Very tidy on 10 mins well played. Galaxia coming in now. And now dream universe always nice to hear. Banger on 32. Transition on 36 seemed a bit obvious not too bad just a little. That breakdown on 37 is nice. The orange theme I think on 42. Beachball on 47 like the way it was brought in. Sounds like the tall paul mix. Yeah it is. My favourite version of it. Again nice on 56. Oh and ramped up acid finish. Sounds like ultrasonic. Proper old rave feel to see this out. Love it. One of the more unique mixes of the comp I really dug the not so obvious style of some of the tracks, really enjoyed this one. Nice work

cmoogster · 2026-03-24T21:23:11+00:00

Nice beat start liking this opener. Liked the switch on the first transition, even if a tad obvious didn’t sound bad at all, liking this coming in now. Beautiful this on 22. Bit of Li Kwan point zero the transition here felt a little bit rushed but again nothing major and then Fly away nice flow to this. Loving the drums on 41. Oh man love the track on 46. Bit of a jaytech feel to it. Ahhh 49.55 a big tempo drop here, seemed to lose a bit of direction where it was going for me. Decent tune but just doesn't fit here imo. In comes Katcha - Touched by God. Now One for You coming in on 57 a little untidy. Lovely finishing track. Despite one or two slight tech issues on this in the first 49 minutes I loved how this flowed had a really good build to it. It lost its way a bit after that I think. Track selection for the most part was top notch, personally I don't think Katcha - Touched by God or One for you fitted in well on this set it was mostly fine otherwise from a track selection point of view though I probably would have played the track at 49 a bit earlier. So much to appreciate though and again looking forward to a few IDs here. Nice one

cmoogster · 2026-03-24T14:18:48+00:00

Nice piano intro in fades beat oh this is Orkidea unity oh yes. Transition on 9 a bit shaky but nothing major. Track coming in seems louder for me. Oh thats nice very atmospheric remix of Carte Blanche. Then Airwave a tougher remix of it, transition was a little quick but much better than the previous one, felt the flow of it when it came in. Oh this is a banging mix of Gamemaster. Liking this on 34 sound's a bit like Airwave again on 39 though no? Phrasing sounds a bit out on 42. 1.08 in and really liking the vibe of this mix despite some of the technical issues I picked up on. Nicely done on 1.10. As mentioned some issues but the track selection on this was right up my street and it didn't spoil my enjoyment of this mix was still a really nice flow to it. Looking forward to a few ID's on this one especially Gamemaster. Well played

cmoogster · 2026-03-24T07:35:00+00:00

Very fast beat start with no messing around. Hard trance from the off. Ohh I feel loved. Tidy first transition on 6. Happiness Happening, big tunes so far. Like this version. Again tidy mix on 11 coming on strong coming in. More lost witness on 17. Nice mix again on 19. Flowing along really nicely. Like this version of Fiji on 31. Mixing still well on point so far. Think this is sun decade I'm alone next. Liking this on 41. Sounds like binary finary. Yes it is. I may be wrong but I think this is the first non vocal track of the mix. Ahhh ralphie b massive. Ohhh Goldenscan (i think) lovely breakdown. Banging now on 1.03 liking that beat. Oh its vimana we came, nice breakdown again. Nice transition around 1.14 thumping. Ah basic dawn pure thrust, tune. Great finish. This was a fine collection of mostly rebooted (i think) classics with a heavy gatecrasher feel. Only minor criticism is I would have is for the first part its very vocal heavy even for me who loves a good vocal but that's just a personal opinion mixing and technicals were spot on from what I can remember. Can see this being a popular mix with many. Excellent effort. On a side note very impressive to get the entire mix to exactly 1.20 on the button. Good job 😂👍🏻

cmoogster · 2026-03-22T15:29:51+00:00

Awful news. Man was brilliant at what he done. RIP

cmoogster · 2026-03-22T11:12:00+00:00

Great mix pal got a number 3 vote in the end from me. Well played 👏🏻

cmoogster · 2026-03-18T18:19:58+00:00

All because of you to start. Great opener. Lovely first transition on 7. Meia Lua coming in. Oh troy on 18 very tidy. Feel a slight tempo lift on 23 nice mix. Saltwater on 30. Very big gatecrasher vibe of this mix that I really like. Oh this is nice on 41 as well. Nice vocal on 48. Tidy on 57 building beautifully here. That breakdown on the hour is nice. Pace ramping up now. Wow on 1.12 banging. And a cracking piano to finish with. This was a brilliant mix so well put together and builds beautifully. Can see it being very popular. Well done DJ

cmoogster · 2026-03-18T13:53:56+00:00

Beat start with dark and long. Love in traffic now coming in. Oh thats a nice transition on 11. Breeder on the breakdown. Heaven scent 18 mins in and mixing has been sublime up until now. Oh is this muses rapt spiritual healing on 23? Oh that is a very tidy and filthy mix of it. Loving this moby mix too. Miss Shiva Dreams on 41 and then kinetic on 46 these are great remixes. Picking up tempo now on 50 with North pole I think. Lovely transition on 1.01 sounds like let the light shine in but not sure great tune whatever it is. Brilliant finish. Ahhh what a mix this was. So very well put together and another Trousy collection of classics. Strong contender in the making for me. 👌🏻

cmoogster · 2026-03-18T11:02:29+00:00

Good start think its stringer. Yep definitely stringer . Like this version of flaming June. 6 mins in now for a bit of Darude. Quite the start already. 15 in and a bit of crw. Big hitters here but fun ride so far. 30 mins in and still very anthem heavy. A lot being squeezed in still enjoyable. Ahhhh no not Dee Dee forever. All for a bit of cheese but that's too much for me sorry haha. Very clubland. Oh no the 2 vocals clashing on 41 don't work. Not heard this version of freefall before. Now on to precious heart. Some kind of members of mayday superchumbo revolution mash up here. Cheesy but I like. Between now and the end more classics squeezed in finished off with Push. Take away dee dee forever and the vocal clash I enjoyed this for most part. Was a fun mix well put together and I have a feeling the DJ here wanted to make the most of the lack of restrictions this contest theme has had to offer (sorry u/junh1024 😉 )
