SET: MarsNRG presents Retrogade Movement for TranceMix

Pequena descrição em Português:

Antes de mais nada, por que pequena pessoal?

Não é que eu goste menos da minha nação e meus companheiros de país, mas ao longo do tempo, vejo uma aceitação muito maior do meu trabalho fora do país. Há apenas um número razoável de Brasileiros no meu blog quando eu compartilho no Facebook algum set, mas mesmo assim, somem rapidinho.

O pessoal da América do Norte, Europa e outros lugares demonstram gostar muito mais de música eletrônica, o movimento é muito mais forte lá, ando ganhando muitos feedbacks importantes de fora do país, e geralmente o pessoal do nosso país acaba me deixando na mão.

Bom, vamos lá, este é o meu último set de Trance Classics publicado pela TranceMix (trancemix.org), onde é um prato cheio de nostalgia para aqueles que viveram o Trance em suas origens (infelizmente o Brasil não foi o caso). Assim sendo, para aqueles que gostam de Trance e têm curiosidade pelo movimento dos anos 90, eu trago músicas desde 1992 até o começo dos anos 2000, com clássicos que o pessoal lá fora pira demais.

Caso você, leitor de Português esteja aqui agora, espero que goste do set, 2:20h de puro Trance Classics, uma bomba. Comentários e divulgação são bem vindos também.

Aquele abraço :)

Description in English:

Hey hey hey, did you like the intro below? Well, I now bring you the whole 2:20h set, full of classics for your delight.

I'll share with you part of my profile and set's profile shared with TranceMix, check out below:

Your Mix Description and Track-Listing (Track-Listing is required):

MarsNRG, as much as Trancer lovers from the old school, loves bringing about the sensation of nostalgia, making us remember the impressively good feel we had when we listened to a brand new sound still in the 90s, by the advent of the Trance arrival. In the 90s, Trance music was not popular in Sao Paulo, Brazil, MarsNRG’s country, gaining its visibility more notoriously with the arrival of the year 2000 with the presence of Mauro Picotto (Lizard and Komodo), System F (Out Of The Blue and Cry), Paul van Dyk (We’re Alive), Lasgo (Surrender and Follow You), Darude (Sandstorm), Gouryella (Gouryella and Walhalla), Fragma (Tocas Miracle and Everytime You Need Me), etc. Before that, Robert Miles (Children) was an exception in 1996, and some other Trance songs that were not considered Trance, being played as Techno on local radio stations, such as Da Hool (Meet Her At The Love Parade), Brainbug (Nightmare and Benedictus), Sash! (Ecuador), Underworld (Born Slippy), Faithless (Insomnia), etc. In sum, the phenomenon Trance was quite unknown over there in Sao Paulo relative to what it was in Europe.

Fortunately, MarsNRG managed to find a CD entitled “Muzik presents Trance Classics - 70 minutes of Spaced Out Anthems” at a local store near his house, that around 2003. That CD was published in 2002 by the old UK dance music magazine Muzik, and in 2003, MarsNRG had the chance to explore what Trance was about in the 90s through the sound of Commander Tom, Art of Trance, Union Jack, Paul van Dyk, X-Cabs, Transa, Binary Finary, and others. The reaction was nothing else than astonishment, a kind of music quite unpopular in his area, full of energy, different melodies, and then his knowledge of Trance began to evolve, as well as his interest for the unknown world of Trance music.

This time, MarsNRG has compiled a set with some of his favorite Trance tracks from the past, including 7 songs of that aforementioned Trance classics CD, alongside other ones he came to know over time as being widely famous internationally, especially in Europe.

The set is then a dedication to the old Muzik maganize and all Trance lovers of good classics from around the world.

From 1992 to the early 2000s, here comes the tracklist:

01) Union Jack - There Will Be No Armageddon
02) Commander Tom - Are Am Eye (Muzik Magazine CD)
03) Binary Finary - 1998 (Binary Finary Remix) (Muzik Magazine CD)
04) Robert Miles - Children (Message Version)
05) Gabriel And Dresden - Arcadia
06) Art Of Trance - Deeper than Deep
07) Age Of Love - Age Of Love (Jam And Spoon Watch Out For Stella Mix)
08) Jam And Spoon - Stella
09) Sash! - Colour The World (Dario G X-Tended Version)
10) Sasha - Xpander
11) Brainbug - Benedictus
12) Armin Van Buuren - Blue Fear (Original 1996 Mix)
13) Art Of Trance - Monsoon
14) X-Cabs - Infectious (Muzik Magazine CD)
15) Dj Taucher - Bizarre (Extended Club Mix)
16) Art Of Trance - Madagascar (Original Mix) (Muzik Magazine CD)
17) Mauro Picotto - Wave Accelerator (Taucher Remix)

A brief description of yourself (I.E. Where you come from etc.):

MarsNRG is an aspiring DJ residing in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Still aiming to find opportunities to play to a live audience, he continues to promote himself on the web through his blogs and sets shared with the whole world.

Mars is an acronym for his name, it stands for Marcos Silvestri. That is also meant to be the planet Mars, and MarsNRG is an expression of his potential and taste for electronic music.

His admired Trance artists and Projects, some of them which fostered his interest for Trance, are Ferry Corsten, Gouryella, Robert Miles, DJ Tiesto, Mauro Picotto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Binary Finary, Transa, Art of Trance, Union Jack, Ayla, DJ Taucher, Brainbug, B.B.E., Gigi D’Agostino, Fragma, Lasgo, ATB, Sash!, etc. Mister Picotto is the most admired for what he used to produce in the beginning of the century, and he played a substantial role in MarsNRG’s interest for Trance music.

Even though he has a particular taste for Trance, he also enjoys other styles of music and keeps on mixing the 80s, 90s and 2000s electronic music, entailing House (Strictly Rhythm), Flash House (the sound of the 80s), Speed Garage, Eurodance, Electro House, Hard House, Jungle and D&B, Hard Dance, and last but not least, Trance, in some of its genres, mainly Uplifting, Hard, Dream, Progressive and Vocal/Euro Trance.

As times goes by he feels more and more inclined to dedicate his efforts to Trance and Hard styles as a whole, the sound that he considers the most enjoyable to rock to the fullest.

The sole thing that he would like at this special moment is getting a high number of plays, faves and comments on his sets, in a way for him to acknowledge to himself that the days he aspires for (the days of playing in front of a live audience) comes closer and closer, and he is more than prepared to go live and make everybody surrender to his sound.

He’d love to have your presence at his Facebook fan page, Twitter, MixCloud, etc. and that’s what matters most for him at the moment, and whatever you can do for him in that sense, he’d deeply thank that support and enjoy the arrival of new friends and enthusiasts of the same music as his.

Cheers from Brazil!

-------------------------

The set has been a great success at TranceMix, MixCloud, TranceFamily, SoundCloud, and other Trance media and communities.

Well, I think it's all said, without further ado, let's get straight to the music, enjoy the tunes :)

-------------------------


I wish you much, much, much delight!!!! Catch you later guys!!!
