DJ Ranz's 40 Favorite Trance & House Songs Of 2011!!! -
16 December 2011, at 07:17
Time flies when you’re having fun. This axiom held true in 2011. It seems like only a few days ago that I got my first real trance experience at Anjunabeats in Miami. Go through the year and a lot of good things have happened! I have released a host of mixcompilations, made some new friends and even received my own radio show, courtesy of the good folks at Notorious Online.

As I have done since 2008, I made a year-end DJ mix reflective of all the memories, and experiences I had this year. Many of these songs were heard in my compilations and episodes this year, others I either didn’t have the chance to use or picked up especially for this mix.

We also saw a lot of DJ/producers rise from the underground to share their music with the world. I dug really deep to find these unheard of, but shiny gems, and they too are included in this mix.

I also set out to break a personal record of mine as well. Last year, I set a record with my 2010 yearend mix. At 3 hours and 45 minutes, it was the LONGEST DJ set I had ever done. Well as of now, this mix is now worthy of this record at 4 hours and 22 minutes. In this mix, you will hear 40 songs from producers that hail from 25 different countries. Having mixed this in the dark hours of the morning, it was a true test of endurance. To me, I viewed this as preparation for the event that I may play in a live crowd.

Here it is! Please listen, like, comment and spread!

If someone could tag these songs so they would show up in the trancepedia (or show me how to) I would greatly appreciate it

Hi mate, it's very easy :)

- Click the Trancepedia button.
- Click the Tracks button.
- In the filterbox, write (a part of) the name of the track you want to enter (capital sensitive)
- If the track is there, click on the track and copy the url into your tracklist.
- If the track is not there, click on the button New Track at the bottom of the page.
- Enter the track you want to add (don't use pres. or presents, but the actual alias only)

Hope that will help you :)

Many thanks but there is a way Semir does it where if you click the song title, it takes you to the Trancepedia song article. How do you make it so this happens?

Replaced link with 4shared link. Original was lost due to the US Federal Government taking down MEGAUPLOAD.
