To make sense of this 31-track selection you have to read the credits: it is an exercise in proper names spanning three generations of trance. The opener sets the bar: 'You & I' pairs Aly & Fila with Emma Hewitt's voice in the hands of Ciaran McAuley, a remix FSOE released as the first entry in a special remix series, and here it works as a statement of intent at 136 BPM.
The historical weight comes from 'Gouryella': the classic Ferry Corsten signed under that alias in 1999 — number 15 on the UK singles chart — returns in Alan Fitzpatrick's tribute, a techno producer who hardens the kick and saves the original arpeggio for the breakdown. It is the most symbolic moment of the set: the untouchable anthem reread from another scene. On the same veteran flank, Paul van Dyk and Chris Bekker contribute 'Velvet Sky' via VANDIT, and Giuseppe Ottaviani holds the melodic line with 'Feel the Music' on Black Hole.
The other current arrives from outside the classic circuit. KI/KI — Kiki Wesselo, raised as a Spielraum resident in Amsterdam's queer club scene — slips 'Leave it to the vibe' in at 145 BPM on slash, the label she founded in 2022, running alongside Armada Music since 2024. Next to her, Amazingblaze pushes another 145 BPM from KNTXT, while the most self-aware wink comes from gardenstate with '1995' in a Simon Doty rework literally titled 'I Made Trance', one of Anjunabeats' two cards on the list.
Among the repeaters there are two telling cases: Alex Di Stefano doubles up with 'Injection' and an eight-minute-plus 'Kidnap Your Soul' on JOOF, while Jordan Suckley signs 'Waterfall' and also gives Greg Downey's 'Vivid Intent' an acid rework, the longest cut of the entire selection. That is the real criterion behind these 31 names: nobody is here just to show up; every signature adds a different shade of the same craft.
