What a night!  I had the best time I've had in months, and it really feels like the party is settling into its new venue.  I was playing in the Meltdown room, 10:00-11:15 and 2:45-4:15 where Mike Jackson (with a slick and professional progressive set), Paul Mayes of Boundless (with his irresistable blend of old and new) and Rolo (the poundingest basslines in trance) also pulled off a musical triumph of a night.

My personal awards for tunes of the night have to go to Edin Bosnjak's Alluring Wishes, which made the entire room explode, and Paul Mayes pulling out a number which had me and everybody else climbing the ceiling - Nu Nrg's Casino.  What an incredible tune.

There's a cracking set of pics by Tony O'Halloran up on the new Planet Angel Website - check them out here.

It feels strange trying to put all the different facets and emotions that make a up a good set into a preference order - the natural tendency is to place the tunes that get the biggest reactions to the top, but that doesn't give anywhere enough credence to the amazing music that can drive people into the state of pent-up adrenalin where the right tune can rip through them and create those kind of explosive reactions.  I've tried to make sure different "states" are catered for this month.  Every great tune has its place in a set and on a night.

I haven't felt the need to put together a chart for a long time - not enough music seems to have been around.  But now - wow!  Suddenly great music is flowing out from all quarters and it is possible - way more than possible!  I'm feeling really good about the trance scene especially at the moment - there's a lot of passion out there and I think the digital revolution is fuelling it.  Here's what's rocking my world at the moment:

6. Motionchild - Paradise [Camouflage]
   
7. Vibrasphere - Landmark [Digital Structures]
   
8. John O'Callaghan -  Chameleon (Thomas Datt Remix) [Discover]
   
9. Gerry Cueto vs Bika - Daydreaming (Gerry Dubs It Remix) [Enhanced]
   
10. Cor Fijneman - Final Round (Sly One Re-edit) [Armind]
    
11. Lady Miami - The Unknown Lady (Big Hook Mix)

To anyone who's noticed my absence from the circuit recently, I've been taking a bit of a break for the last couple of months - Planet Angel missing two parties (January and March) during the venue move has given me the opportunity to take a bit of time out, and I've been spending some seriously quality time getting new tunes.  Oh my, there's some seriously good stuff out there at the moment.

I'm looking forward to getting back into the rat-race in the next couple of weeks, refreshed and raring to go!

See you all out there!

Finally the news is out!  Planet Angel are moving to Hidden.

This is an awesome newly refurbished venue in Vauxhall with a mazelike layout.  It all kicks off again this month - keep an eye on the website for updates!  If you're already on the mailing list you will have found out today.
