Thanks to all who attended last nights event at Rise. We received a great reception at one of Western Australia's most respected dance clubs. Check the pics!

Check the flyer for tonights gig at Rise...

The boys have successfully landed down under for the second time to begin their much anticipated Australian tour 2010. After the painful flight they began by hitting the rooftop hot tub with fellow plutonic friends (honest) shock:force, followed by a welcome drink at an authentic auzzie bar... Due on at Rise (Perth) tomorrow from 2am - 4am, 3D (Melbourne) on the 26th and HTID (Sydney) on the 27th the boys are set for a massive tour! Keep checking the site for more details...

On Christmas eve JTB & Chuck-E were visited by the ghost of their dead label partner, Mars W, who sadly overdosed on Mafia Wars for seven days straight with no sleep. Solitaire & ‘alone time’ champion Mars begged the boys to give each of the globes Hard Trance lovers a Christmas present, to keep their spirits high & the music alive! Refusing to do so because of their busy studio & gig schedule, they were told that three ghosts - the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and that which is yet to come (future) - will visit them that night. In doing so they will show them what could be lost, and what they will leave behind after they have gone unless they mend their way!

Ghost of Mixmas Past: Hard Trance Classix Mix

In the past lies arguably, the Hard Trance scenes finest days!! With the dominating Hardstyle scene in effect, and the tech scene becoming more discrepant to ‘proper’ Hard Trance with each day, some say it’s Gone and forgotten? The 1999-2003 five year stretch saw the emergence of legendary producers including Scot Project, DuMonde, Uberdruck, and Reverb from S.H.O.K.K. & Flutlicht! The boys are taken back to this era by the 1st ghost ‘Obi wan Kenobi’, to collect the finest Hard & Uplifting records that the top guys in the industry had to offer, and give you lovely people a free Hard Trance classics mix so we can all remember the good days of where the music came from!

Ghost of Mixmas Future: 2010 studio mix

And on to the future, where the 3rd ghost ‘Anakin Skywalker’ takes us to January 2010, where the clubbing world is abeyant and dormant, and the party crews are recharging their batteries from the festive season and their new years stompin’ sessions. JTB & Chuck-E are asked to collect the future of Hard & Uplifting European Trance and fuse them with the tunes from this year that will still be rockin’ in their 2010 sets. This gives everybody some awesome music as they wait for the clubbing scene to re-ignite!
