"Overlord" features several of the last trance tracks to be released on a variety of labels out of Holland before Armada/Astral decided they were going to sell everyone out under their label group and elsewhere and cut off vinyl releases.

The "Trance Essentials" vinyl release series ran from approximately 2008 - 2011 and features some of the best trance artists from that time. There is NO cheese in this mix running 61m27s and clocking between 138 and 142 BPM the entire way through with in you face underground dance music.

The first track in this mix is DJ Lithium's own "Hellspeak" (Half-Breed) track released through Black Tiger Recordings on 12" in 2014.

The Intimidation Blue mix board is rather unique.While some might feel that having the channels summed to mono rather than kept stereo is a limitation - it's designer felt that the board would be used mostly at mid to large scale rave events and clubs where most systems are actually running in mono in the first place to maximize sound pressure and efficiently use amplifiers. By putting the board into this configuration certain things like kill switches made more sense and actually worked. The kill switches themselves on the Blue are split between bass, mids and tops (treble) and can be engaged or disengaged without any noticeable "click", which was a problem for competitors who ripped off the design. For DJs, it was just fun to play on.]]>

Another demonstration or snap shot of trance during the dark years between 2002 and 2006 which some consider to be the best years of the trance genre, "The Return of the DeJi" is a classic mix through and through. This mix actually introduces several records to the trance world by producers who at the time were effectively unknown (listen to the first two tracks for a perfect example- those are by Sander Van Doorn). Today unfortunately some of those artists featured in this mix compilation are considered to have completely sold out, including Sander Van Doorn. Considering The Return of the DeJi was recorded in 2004, you can use it as a marker in trance history. From there you can see where things drifted. The Dutch "producer" DJ types grabbed the wheel and proceeded to steer the genre into oncoming traffic. By 2009 the damage was almost irreversible. Almost.
