Description
Suddenly I find myself writing an introduction for the tenth - tenth! -
edition? - of a compilation series that was itself created as a punctuation mark after a year of events and releases that took everybody in the trance world
(including myself) by surprise. The whole 'Pure Trance'? movement started life as a kickback against the dilution of the trance scene?,? instead aiming to celebrate and be proud of what first drew so many to the genre's flame. Now 11 years
on?, ?Pure Trance has ?established itself as a its own bonafide scene ?in the ?
world of Electronic Dance Music - ?hosting festival stages and events on all
5 continents, boasting 4 record labels? that have given a platform to countless new talents, a weekly radio show with a devoted listenership? of millions, a
worldwide community of fans that have become friends and this critically
acclaimed compilation series that has now reached its 10th instalment.
The number 10 seemed a sort of punctuation point, which is why I decided
to take the reins of this 3-disc landmark edition and ?curate, compile and mix
the whole thing alone. Why 3? discs? I wanted the trio of discs to represent
what one of our Pure Trance events sounds like - the flow of the thing, and to be a kind of rationale for the existence of the ?labels: Pure Progressive, Pure Trance, Pure Trance NEON & Pure Breaks. So... we have the deeper sound on Disc 1 (Pure Progressive) leading to the dreamy sound on Disc 2 (Pure Trance) and the harder sound... well, you get the idea, I hope it makes sense to you. Maybe it is all self-explanatory? and you only care about what it sounds like - that's what this is all about after all, right? It's all about celebrating the sound
of Trance Music - the journey, the emotion of it. And this is of course why
Pure Trance exists.
