Description:
Starting deep and dropping off into a beautiful ambient vocal, this second section then picks up and has it's quirky moments. We felt that those dancing would need a break, a chance to gather their energies. Afterwards we dove right back into the thick of things.
Reviews:
"After going through all 4 hours of this mix, I'm left speechless wishing I would've been there to see it live. Such a winding trip through an eclectic selection of tracks; and the energy and heart from these two can be felt all the way through. I absolutely love it and will be listening to it over and over for days to come."

"Awesome opening on Part 2...I love how psy-trance can get away with making beautiful tracks that you just would not hear in a club otherwise. I love the ethnic flair at the beginning of this mix, the female vocal echoes and ethnic drums pander lightly, you really bring some great elements in here and slowly ever so slowly comes the beat, ready to take flight. The synths scream from the darkness catching up with the beats and finally the bass line takes root moving away the ethereal, back to a more psy-trance feel into the depths of bass. The mix continues on with a consistent energy, nice explosive breaks and re-entries. And another open vocal break drifting away from the heavy bass lines about 1/3 way through only to tease you and SLAM right back into beats and basslines, AWESOME. The mix continues in a hard fashion, and then releasing to a trippier plane of existence, with the roars of delayed 303?s and echoes and eventually running through thickets of deep and organic sounds. Tasty goodness to send your head spinning, feet moving, body shaking, and mind exploding. The track selection is top notch for this journey. You just get more pumped up, as this mix moves forward. More vocals sneak in, a little more of a surprise about 2/3 way through. And I think this is one of the surprises of the mix. It is some sort of acappella, maybe not specifically written for a psy-trance track, but it fit in the mix. Refreshing changes, and pushing the musical envelope requires changes to include the unexpected. This is an example of how to push that envelope with success, while retaining the essence of the mix. It stands out enough, but never too far out to the listener to say ?what the fuck is that??. Another example of this is a brassy horn ensemble that follows shortly after the acappella, with a mix of saxophone and trombones also with sliding guitar notes matching the horns. Something not the usual in a psy-trance set, but this is what I like about it."
