Wow Derek, that's lucky.

I'm going to produce some music in step-time today. I left my keyboard at home.

Gouryella - " Ligaya " (Instrumental)

"Ligaya" approximately means "deep happiness" in Filipino (Tagalog dialect).

This is a bit late, Rodgers, but welcome to Trance Podium!

I'm thinking how today is the day I will get to record music without much distraction.

Maybe I've been listening to the wrong tracks for the year 2008 but it has changed a lot since I first listened to my first trance compilation back in 2001. I find that I have listened to tracks that had a lot more quality back during the start of this decade. I don't find many of such tracks these days.

Hopefully 2009 Trance would be a better year for what I listen to. From listening to the compilations I have spanning 2001 until 2008, it seems there has been a decline towards cheesedom. I don't know why but the trance music that's supposed to be trance has certain elements that's very distracting from the trance experience, like maybe the too common female voice I hear on vocal tracks. Maybe I just don't like vocal tracks lol.

But there you go. It has been quite a different perspective for me, perhaps it also reflects the bad choices Galaxy Records Philippines makes (they're the biggest electronic music label here, I think. They seem to be the main distributor for things like this). Perhaps also says much how different a scene we have here right now.

Solid Sessions - Janeiro (Armin van Buuren)

Yes! Of course!

I'd go with these

Castamara (Jonas Steur)
Home and Dry [Blank and Jones Remix] (Pet Shop Boys)
Variance (Caramba)
Strange World (Push (M.I.K.E.))
Angel Eyes [Club Mix] (Mario Lopez) - I don't like the trite voice of the vocalist here, though.

I'm planning to make a trance remix of Together, my old single. I'd get around it soon enough.

Rise and Shine (Jonas Steur)

Hahaha. It's great!
