Hey guys, sorry for the long delay, but just uploaded my set from back on October 6th, opening for GANESH, a Trance and Techno OG West Coast DJ/Producer and very early adopter to the LA Trance Rave scene in the 90’s. This was a real treat to be able open for such a well-known “semi-local” pioneer and influencer on the underground Ravey Techno/Trance sounds, and a staple DJ on the festival line-up’s like Dreamstate. I got to hand off the decks to Ganesh, whom was a super nice, humble, and intellectual guy, and a literal “mad scientist” when it came to mixing haha; it was mesmerizing and inspirational watching his hands expertly fly around all the effects as he wove his magical dark techno beats. My newish DJ buddy, Bryan Keyes, newcomer to the Seattle Trance scene from Alaska, opened the club and threw down an awesome set as well. I always love these opportunities to open for these 140+ BPM DJ’s because it allows me to play up to 138 BMP Trance, which isn’t common for openers to be able to play that fast, but one of my favorite genre’s and what originally lured me into Trance in the first place, uplifting 138 BPM Trance bangers!! I lucked out because I wanted to have a bit of a classic Trance element to this set because of Ganesh’s tenure in the scene, and there just happened to be several hot new remixes recently released of some uber-classic sounds, like the Emery vs Brisky Remix of Nu NRG’s “Dreamland”, Maria Healy’s remix of BT’s “Godspeed”, and Cosmic Boys’ new remix of the timeless “Café Del Mar” by Energy 52, which I kicked the set off with.. Plus, so many other great recently released tracks, and Ganesh let me spin one final track past my set time while he got set up, so I was able to squeeze 13 tracks into this bad boy. Hope you like the set as much as I loved spinning it, and if you’re in the Seattle area, be sure to come out to see me open for Irish Trance rising star, Billy Gillies, on November 18th at Ora Nightclub – should be a blast, and even more 138!! Cheers! Mark, a.k.a. GOTEK
