    In this episode, we shift gears towards the trancey soundscapes I promised last time. Trance is one of the most diverse music genres, spanning many different sub-genres and styles. Today, I'd like to highlight a specific, emerging sound that is fast-paced, heads-down, and sits somewhere between early 90s trance and the psychedelic scene. We call it Raw Trance, and this is where the most forward-thinking and underground trance currently is, in my opinion. Enjoy!🎵 Tracklisting:00:00 Peppe Amore...

    Continuing with the theme of the previous episodes, this edition of Rave Podcast is all about the exploration of techno soundscapes. The first half features a deep and hypnotic trancey sound, while the second half showcases some serious, pounding grooves. I absolutely love this sound at the moment, and I hope you are too! If you're a trance-head, no worries, a trance-focused episode will be coming soon too :-)🎵 Tracklisting:00:00 Alexskyspirit — Sentient Being (Original Mix) [Derailed Records...

    This episode is all about proper Techno: groovy, slamming, heads-down, and sometimes melodic too. I feel that nowadays many people use the word ‘techno’ to describe something entirely different, sometimes they call progressive house tunes ‘techno’, sometimes trance tracks are mislabeled as ‘techno’, and there is, of course, a whole ‘melodic techno’ thing which rarely does anything to do with techno. So enjoy this proper, real Techno mix (with a couple of trancey tracks).🎵 Tracklisting:00:00 F...

    To start 2024 on a high note, and as we also get almost to the Rave Podcast’s 13th anniversary, I decided to make this episode 2 hours long. Expect a blend of raw, deep, and hypnotic techno and trance with a psychedelic twist. Enjoy the journey!🎵 Tracklisting:0:00:00 Whirloop — Departure (Intro) [JOOF Recordings]0:01:13 Fabio Florido — Galactica (Luigi Tozzi Remix) [Runa] 0:05:23 Vladw — Teppou (Original Mix) [Node Recordings] 0:09:31 Bastian Bux — Neopisivo (Original Mix) [Suara Re...

Perfect Mixes And Atmosphere

I’ve been listening to this Podcast ever since 2015-2016. This Podcast got me into Psytrance and Deep House after hearing Trippy, Daniel, and a few other artists that are astounding on guest mixes, they are never dull and bland. They help you focus especially on work and exercise. I highly suggest to download these if you need help focusing and for enjoyment while driving. Much love and shout outs to Daniel! Never wrote a review but here it is.

Great music to work to

Daniel puts together wonderful mixes that help me focus on my coding projects. Apart from his intro to each mix (and the occasionally breathy lady speaking “Raaaave Pod-cast”), there’s generally no vocals to distract the listener. Super quality mixing. I discover a new favorite track within each mix.

Consistently incredible driving trance sets

Have been listening for years and haven't heard a bad set yet. Great driving Progressive and psychedelic for serious fans of trance. No Tiesto junk here.
