Ok, so I like electronic dance music, more specifically Trance. When I started in the 1990's, the US was a bit behind in that department.
Still, with San Francisco and San Jose nearby, I've had some opportunities to see some great EDM/Trance DJs. Back in the early 2000's, they sadly played club music in the US that was nowhere close to the hits they had composed and were known for, but over the years, as Trance started becoming more popular, those DJs finally started playing their good tunes in the US too, and maybe from 2004 on, it's only been getting better. Popsicle Halloween 2004 was really the beginning of great music parties in the San Francisco Area, and thankfully things have gotten even better since then
As a matter of fact, after another 10 years (2015 and beyond) the good news is that Trance has grown quite a following in the US, and places like the SF Bay Area, and while Trance has been declared dead a few times in the last 10 years, it's still going strong here.
Trance Family SF is definitely strong in the area, we've been getting more big trance parties every year, including many top DJs that come visit us what feels like every other week now (as of 2018-2019), and through those events, I made many friends in Trance Family SF. Thanks to you all.
Over those years, I got the chance to meet a few of my favourite DJs, including Armin more than once, and my last hobby has been to work on lights for my shirt and pants (version 3) and (version 4)
I think Lost Tribe - Gamemaster wins as the best timeless trance track, with the most remixes. Thank you Matt Darey, aka Lost Tribe, for this Gem. Honored to have been able to meet you.
"Embracing the goddess energy within yourselves will bring all of you to a new understanding and valuing of life, A vision that inspires you to live and love on planet earth.
Like a priceless jewel, buried in dark layers of soil and stone, Earth radiates her brilliant beauty into the caverns of space and time. Perhaps you are aware of those who watch over your home, And experience it as a place to visit and play with reality.
You are becoming aware of yourself as a gamemaster.
Imagine earth restored to her regal beauty. Stately trees seem to brush the deep blue sky, Clouds billow to form majestic peaks. The songs of birds fill the air, creating symphony upon symphony. The goddess is calling for an honoring of what she allows to be created through the core-mystery of the blood. Those who own her planet are learning about love. "
Those lyrics come from the original book, Barbara Marciniak - Earth Pleiadian Keys to the Living Library, here
