Trance cannot be explained, you feel it or you don't feel it, you have to be born with it because not all minds can feel the mind fly with its melodies, even more so if it is from the old school because tracks like these are not made
this aint Oldschool because it never will be old in 1999 I was in Sheffield buying an abundance of trance every Monday if I saw a thrill seekers mix I just had to have it. down town to the record shops every Saturday down town clubbing I listen to this music as much today as I did back then and I now have a family who unfortunately have face book and Tik Tok. with them constantly telling me to turn my music down while they sit endless scrolling 😒 I feel I'm on my own and saddened somtimes surrounded only by my collection of over 4,000 CD singles while I lock myself away and let the music play on just like I did back in my 20's that I miss so much these times.... I never thought one day I would be looking back then again I never thought we would moving forward.... 💔 I miss all the people I met in clubs back in the day ❤🩹

Steve, currently I'm listening to this set with headphones in leaning out a window in a hotel on the Ayrshire coast in scotland (2024) . You're keeping trance alive mate ❤
Anybody else feel they’re hearing more and more trance undertones in dj sets and mixes now? The resurgence has begun. And I’m here for it. Let’s go 🚀 🔥 🎉 🎶
Young hard techno dj's mixing proper oldsschool trance in their sets these days all around europe, calvin harris releasing a song which sounds more eurodance/90ies trance than a generic edm radio hit. About fucking time we've come around full circle, im ready for it! 💪😎
Hi Steve, you're like a friend I met back in 1999 while living overseas. Since that phenomenal hit "Synaesthesia" I've been listening to your music and podcasts and I am so, so glad, to leave a few words here to thank you for such a fantastic journey. Cheers and wishing you many more years ahead of great music
Steve, Your Quality and Arrangement of the music you choose for these sets are Absolutely Phenomenal. I’m Dumbfounded that you don’t have hundreds of thousand subscribers. You are a true gift to this platform and the music industry.
Re: 1:14:10 Was something like 15 years before I found out there was an original mix of Janeiro, thought it was just an AvB track. Was on the way home on the bus and pretty wasted at the time, just flicking through track suggestions on UA-cam when I stumbled on it. Was an absolutely glorious moment! 🙌
My God Steve! You are ridiculously amazing! Looking back at your career and you played your first vinyl set with PVD and you had never played a set before to where you are now! Just wow! Thank you for the connected releases! You are one of my heroes 😊
I read about Will. My heart aches for you. I will share his story as much as possible. Please keep doing what you're doing! You're a positive light when there is darkness.
Steve's mixing in so on point.. You can really see he's paying attention to the finest details and doesn't let go of the previous track until its undertones perfectly fade into the new. Toppers mate!
Mid to late 90s, early noughties Dance music and its scene will NEVER be topped. Simplz. I used to work on the door at the night club Nation (formerly an old skool nite club called Snobs, with Club Continental next door lol) in Liverpool, when Cream started there on Friday nights, Cream@Nation it was originally, and Bugged Out did nights on a Saturdays, and you could feel the cultural tsunami and dance vibe building, ready to change music and the world forever! Gives me butterflies still thinking back to Oakenfolds monthly residency, and that "I was actually there" feeling 😏👌(Jeeeez did I actually use "simplz" in a sentence? 🤦♂️😁🤣)
Can’t believe I’ve stumbled across this channel. Been listening to one of your sets on soundcloud for a good while. People that don’t get trance or understand why it’s called trance, jam the earphones in, lay back and you’ll see. As close to an out of body experience as you’ll ever have, or maybe it was? Don’t know but I’ve been listening to it since my late teens (near 25 years) and it still takes me to another place
You are worth your weight in gold I'm from Ireland I've mental illnesses and your track's always bring me back to happy places. Keep up your amazing work bro ❤ Thanks so much Declan 🙏
It's so refreshing these days to see old school DJs taking their time to dig into their old vinyl collection and fire up the gool ol' Technics for another spin. Excellent job, Mr. Helstrip !
Big fan from Brazil, thanks for the real trance and this magnficul set, continue on this vibe, I listen you year by year because you play only classics and I remember when I whas a kid and listen thats songs, waaaaw a gracefulles and peacefull songs. thanks. for 2008 to the rest of my life trance music! Only the best people in Brazil have a good like for good music
Just saw him at Luminosity a fell in love with his classic sound. He’s working for the mix right here. You used to need all the time you could get to blend the tracks, and he’s on if even when it’s off a bit. Respect
Hey Steve , thank you for playing The remix of Aly & Fila of If you should go , it's one of the tracks that introduced me to Trance in 2007 ! One of the best things that happened to me in my life !
Ah, there’s the perfect start to my Wednesday morning in the office. My body is here, but my mind is floating through space and time. Sending you ❤ from the US.
So, I loved that you still play this amazing classics Trance songs on your podcasts. I listen to your every Connected's episode and every time you remind me of those great old style tunes. Thanks a lot for this! Keep it going this beautiful journey in this epic music called Trance :) Cheers from Poland Steve
I know I'm late to discovering these, but so glad I did, been playing over a years worth of sessions. Thank you so much Steve for bringing back such amazing memories. .
Great to see a DJ actually beat matching and mixing on YT instead of these clowns nowadays who press a sync button then jump around like demented fools. Nice one mate, top set and tunes.
Need more Studio/production Tutorials Vids Steve, so interesting mate 👍One of my main regrets was turning down the chance of having piano lessons as a kid, (late 70s early 80s) i loved early synth music, Jean Michel Jarre, kraftwerk, leading into early human league and depeche mode, etc but it I wanted to play footy with my mates! When house music, acid and early rave exploded a few years later, and PCs started doing early production programs, i started messin around, makin a few tunes with their built-in samples, but i was gutted that i couldn't pin down exactly the hundreds of tunes i had in my head cos i couldn't convert them keyboard wise, it was too time consuming tryin to replicate note by note, when playing it "analogue" would've been so much quicker obviously. I bet a lot of the O.G dance djs and producers were kids "forced" to go to piano lessons, who ended up with a life-changing, unforeseeable transferable skill. Coulda been a keyboard wizard now! Sliding doors I suppose, plus, all the football I played, I still never got play up front for Liverpool FC either! Go figure! pmsl 🤣🤣🤣 keep up the great work Steve 💯
It would be nice to see a short Video of your Record Collection. Every Connected Set from you is an Inspiration for my own mixing at home great work keep them going!
Steve what can I say you have smashed it as always you put together the most phenomenal trance anthems mixes that keeps all your music fans united as we all dance together you are a top class trance dj keep up the good the tunes keep the feeling alive and kicking for ever my friend from mr Colin Corcoran high street royal mile edinburgh 👍🏻🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻
Lots of phishing posts appearing on my videos. Do not fall for them. I will not ask you to contact me via Telegram. It’s a scam.
Seems to be a big issue for a lot of streamers receently!
Cheers Steve, I got one and thought nah! 😉
I've had one of those telegram messages come through.
Apparently steve your giving away a 4 grand prize 🤣🤣🤣
I got hit as well but worked out it was a scam
Steve's taste in Classics is ridiculous.. absolutely ridiculous :) A true treasure to us old school lovers nowadays. LEGEND
Listening to this brought me back 25 years and made me remember I am a trance fan at heart!
@@andrewjames5373 same here! And that can't be said for many other artists in the Trance scene.. Steve is one of a kind
@@hodelmusic Your taste in Oldschool tunes is great as well.
I noticed that during your Oldschool sets at Monday Bar😉
@@wolterzz3267 Thank u so much! Appreciate it :)
@@hodelmusic No worries man. Keep up the good work.
I'm sure everyone here has a passion for classic trance ❤🙏
First time I ever heard Amber I was driving through howgills in lake district delivering parcels. Sunny day. Absolutely amazing

Yes, yes and yes
Couldn’t agree more. If you feel it it’s like a spiritual experience

9am drive to work and I wanna go clubbing listening to this mix 🙌🏾
5,30am ride to work blasting in my headphones gives me extra energy
Legendary Mix. One of the best trance producer for me.

It truly was The Golden Age of Trance. Suburb. Thanks for putting this together Steve.
I read about Will. My heart aches for you. I will share his story as much as possible. Please keep doing what you're doing! You're a positive light when there is darkness.
Steve's mixing in so on point.. You can really see he's paying attention to the finest details and doesn't let go of the previous track until its undertones perfectly fade into the new. Toppers mate!
