DJ Gotek - Opening set for LANGE 3-9-13
April 17, 2013 01:32 PM PDT
Brand new! Well, once again I have been blessed and had the great privilege and honor of being an opening DJ for Eddie Pitzul's "Play Saturday's" show at the Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, on Saturday, March 9th, and got to open for one of my all-time favorite DJ/Producers, an internationally famous British record producer, Trance pioneer, and regular on such high profile global DJ broadcasts as Armin van Buuren’s “A State of Trance” and Above & Beyond’s “Trance Around the World” and “Group Therapy”, writer of my all-time favorite Trance track ever, “Songless”, Stuart Langelaan, also known as LANGE. This was a show that I will never forget and getting to meet and hang out with Lange was totally awesome – he was a very down-to-earth, witty, humble, cool guy, and his set was truly awe inspiring and easy to see why he gets to travel the world spinning with the greatest Trance DJ’s on earth. A few tracks to call out on my set – I open with two classics, an amazing progressive remix of Smith & Pledger’s angelic “Northern Lights” that always sends chills down my spine, as well as a beautiful Jaytech remix of the eternal classic “Flaming June” by B.T. I played the brand new and incredible Audien single “Sup”, the highly addictive Cedric Gervais remix of “Summertime Sadness” by Lana Del Rey, blew it up a little bit with Sean Tyas & Hirshee’s stunning electro banger “Salt Shaker”, featured the brand new, jaw-droppingly euphoric single, “Cloverfield” by the up-and-coming 19 Hz, and ended with the brand new amazing release from the young and talented Trance producer right in our very own backyard in Portland, Oregon, Nathan Kozlowski, better known as Falcon, with “Punch”. I hope that you enjoy this mix as much as I enjoyed spinning it! -Mark DJ GOTEK Presents: Opening Set for LANGE 3-9-13

Brand new – this was my opening set for the Ronski Speed show at the Whiskey Bar on Saturday, December 8th, 2012. What can I say about this set other than opening for Ronski Speed, a.k.a. Sun Decade, a.k.a Ronny Schneider, was such a privilege and an honor to be in that close proximity to such an EPIC, iconic, DJ/Producer and such a true pioneer in the Trance genre as this German-born Trance legend, the headliner for the well-known Euphonic record label, producer of many world-renown Trance anthems, and one of my all-time Trance DJ Heroes, Ronski Speed. I only had a 45 minute opening spot for this show so I specifically hand-crafted this Ronski set to be as over-the-top euphoric and to pack as much punch as possible in the short time given to me. I will let the tracks speak for themselves but I received a lot of positive feedback from this set and I hope that you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed spinning it. This was definitely a night that I shall never forget as one of the true highlights of my DJ career so far. Cheers! ☺ -Mark DJ GOTEK presents: Ronski Speed Opening Set 12-12

Brand new!!! This was my very first set for the MISSION TRANCE show at the Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, in which I was invited to spin a guest DJ set last July, 2012. It was a very special set for me because it was the middle of the Summer so the club was totally packed, I had a huge bunch of good friends come out to support the show which made it all the more fun, and lastly this set led to me being asked to become a resident on the Mission Trance crew, which has been a total blast and has led to many other great show openings for me under the Mission Trance banner such as The Blizzard, Roger Shah, Falcon, Protoculture, etc. Also this set fell together so nicely because many of these killer tracks were brand new at the time such as “The Wall” by Arty, “The Sky” by Mat Zo, and Will Holland's Beat Service Remix of “Every Heartbeat” had just released that week, plus I opened with one of my very fave vintage tracks of all time – the Markus Schultz & Elevation remix of “Your Loving Arms” by Karen Overton, just an immensely powerful track that I always dreamt of spinning live, so this was the perfect opportunity. It was a show I will never forget, and I hope you enjoy the set. -Mark DJ GOTEK presents: MISSION TRANCE 7-27-12

Brand new!!! Recently I was asked to perform a live 90-minute Progressive Trance set on a local Seattle radio station called 90.7 KSER on “The Tunnel” which is a show on Friday nights featuring alternative electronica, so from Midnight to 1:30am on Friday, February 8th, I did. This was not the first time I have been featured on the radio but it was definitely my first live set on radio so it was an interesting experience and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little nervous, but it went really well and I received a lot of really positive feedback from some of the listeners afterwards, which I was very happy about. I made sure to deliver an extremely euphoric Trance experience to try to highlight what I love about this kind of music for the radio program, since they don’t usually play Trance – I wanted to represent! I made sure to include tracks from some of my very favorite producers such as Above & Beyond, Audien, Steve Anderson, JJOO, Sundriver, also wanted to highlight tracks from the amazing talents Lange and Protoculture since I will be opening for both of them coming up in March, and was proud to feature the brand new powerhouse single from Seattle’s very own Johnny Monsoon, “Winter”, which is probably my fave track on the mix. I personally love this set and I hope you will to. Cheers! -Mark DJ GOTEK presents: 90.7FM KSER Set

Brand new! This is a recording of the 80-minute opening set that I played at the Mission Trance show at Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, on Saturday night, January 19, 2013. This was an amazing night of Trance as we had a special guest DJ join us who is a young and talented rising star in the ranks of Trance DJ/Producers, Nathan Kozlowski, otherwise known as Falcon, and who’s tracks are getting air-time in the sets of some of the biggest DJ’s in the industry, so it was an honor to spin with him, as well as my good DJ buddies and fellow Mission Trance regulars, DJ Zoxy and Tim Clang. A few tracks to call out: I always wanted to kick off a set with this remix of “In All the Wrong Places” by Ulrich Schnauss, absolutely love the unassuming buildup and then the Uber-addictive progressive beats that follow – great track! Insane new tracks by Tritonal, Temple One, Arty, Perpetual, Mat Zo, an incredible Omnia remix of Cosmic Gate’s “Calm Down”, an interesting progressive remix of “Steve McQueen” by M83, but I would say the Jjoo, Sound Quelle, and Audien tracks “One Night in Seoul” vs. “Spring Chord” vs. “Wayfarer” are triple-tied in pole position for my favorite and most uplifting, euphoric tracks on the mix, truly incredible stuff. This set actually turned out to be a lot more high-energy than I intended it to be and it definitely pulls no punches, but it definitely had the crowd jumping up and down towards the end, which is never a bad thing. Hope you enjoy! -DJ G DJ GOTEK Presents: MISSION TRANCE w/Falcon - 1/19/13

Brand new – this is the set I played on Friday night, October 26th, 2012, at Whiskey Bar in Portland, OR, for the monthly residency of MISSION TRANCE with my good DJ friends Zoxy & Tim Clang. I had the opening set and it was 90 minutes so it was a nice long set to really get down and play some tracks that I love. As per my usual DJ Gotek mantra with most live shows I kick it off at 128 BPM and tried to blend some ethereal Progressive Trance with some harder hitting Progno and then ascend into heavens with euphoric Trance, ending the set at 133 BPM. A few tracks to call out – well…I love every track on this set actually, but I was able to crack out some older tracks with this one that I have always wanted to spin live, namely “Songless” by Lange, one of my fave tracks of all-time no matter what remix, but I have always particularly loved the Boy Hagemann remix with its droning progressive beats, followed by the Tall Paul remix of “The Other Side” by Cyclone Rangers, truly ahead of its time as a house track with some true Progno/Electro energy long before those genre’s existed, and lastly my secret weapon track for the set, Plastic Angel’s “Call The Galaxy Taxi”, Martin Roth’s Nu Style Mix, OMG, what an insane, HI-NRG techno track that is – always blows me away every time. Brand new awesome Mat Zo/Arty collaboration with “Rebound”, the lovely brand new Thrillseekers single “Everything” Wellenrausch remix, and probably my very most treasured track on the mix, Sundriver & Schodt’s “Here With Me” vocal mix, can’t stop listening to this song, so beautiful. Okay, anyway, hope you like this one.. Cheers! -Mark DJ GOTEK presents: “Mission Trance set 10-26-12”

Brand new – this is a recording of the set I played on Friday night, 10-19-12 at Whiskey Bar, Portland, OR, for the opening of the CRESSIDA show. I was one of 4 opening DJ’s so it was a shorter than usual for me, but it was still an awesome night of Trance and I got to meet/hang out with Matthias “CRESSIDA” Bauman, DJ/Producer hero of mine from Germany, who’s written some huge and well-known tracks such as “6am” and has collaborated with other massive talents in the industry such as Ronski Speed and Kyau & Albert to create some of the best Trance tracks out there. It was an honor and a privilege to be able to open for this show, and it was a night I shall not forget. This set is a blend of some of my fave Progressive and Progno tracks and gradually elevates from 128 to 130 into some really beautiful Trance for the hand-off. Couleurs Du Soleil (Clubstage Mix) by M.I.K.E. & Maor Levi was kind of my secret weapon track and when I played it all I remember was looking out and seeing everyone jumping up and down, I think I was too haha. Very fun night - I hope you enjoy! ☺ -Mark a.k.a. DJ Gotek DJ GOTEK presents: “Opening Set for Cressida show 10-19-12”

Brand new! Finally got around to recording the exact set I performed as one of the DJ’s that opened for Norwegian Trance legend, The Blizzard, in Portland, OR, at the Whiskey Bar on Friday, May 25th, 2012. A few tracks to call out: I kicked this set off with a recent progressive remix of a classic and personal fave vocal Trance track of mine, “Need to Feel Loved” by Reflekt, beautifully remixed by Adam K & Soha. I featured two tracks from one of my biggest EDM inspirations, Uber musical genius, Matan "Mat Zo" Zohar, along with an incredibly uplifting remix of “We Show It” by Russian DJ/Producer God, Vladimir Ershov “PROFF”, absolutely dripping with 80’s new-wave influenced dance energy. The gorgeous vocal Trance track by Headstrong “Here In The Dark” - Aurosonic Progressive Remix, had just released the week of the Blizzard show, so I was super happy to have that gem in the line-up, in addition to the crescendo of the set, the Arty remix of “Trapeze” by Static Blue and Ferry Tayle - if this track doesn’t utterly paralyze you with shivers up and down your spine, nothing ever will… (haha)! My set was from 11pm-Midnight and I was lucky because I got to squeeze in one extra track past my hour time slot, which happened to be Sunny Lax – “Reborn”, which the crowd absolutely went ballistic over. This is a very special set to me and will forever remind me of that incredible and magical night of opening at the Blizzard show. I hope you enjoy it. –Mark a.k.a.

Brand new – just recorded this on Aug. 27, 2012. Even though I am kind of turning a corner and crossing back into Trance territory these days (mostly) I still listen to and love Progressive House and have so much awesome new music I got motivated to mix a new Proggy House set before the summer comes to an end. This set turned out a little more underground sounding and less clubby/dancy than many of my Progressive House sets in the past, and I really set out to capture that sublime all-consuming “wall of sound” feeling that can make you feel like you are weightless and floating in space if you listen deeply and lose yourself in it. A few tracks to call out: I kick it off with a brand new 16 Bit Lolita’s single “Settle the Score” that just blew my mind, kind of has that old school Massive Attack ring to it, but I found it to be a dark, powerful and moving track perfect to kick this set off with. I definitely added more than a touch of Guy J and Hypnotic Duo for the beautiful, dreamlike effect they have, plus somehow “I am not from France” by Don Diablo snuck in there – I’ve had that in my collection for some time but sorely neglected it obviously, what a surprisingly great track! Added a bit of Balearic sound towards the end with a sexy remix of Santerna’s “Come Closer” and a great tech-proggy Oliver Lange remix of the classic “Café del Mar” by Energy 52 in honor of my upcoming vacation to Ibiza this fall. And lastly, the mezmerizing techno track that inspired this mix in the first place, Dosem’s remix of “Naïve” by Tom Glass, what a TUNE!!! Anyway, hope you enjoy! ☺ -Mark DJGOTEK presents: “Floating”

Brand new summer mix just recorded live on Saturday, June 23rd, 2012. It’s funny (to me at least) I started thinking about this mix probably about 9 months ago, when I was approaching three years in Seattle, and feeling utterly frustrated that I can’t seem to get discovered in Seattle as a DJ. But as they say, you find things when you’re not looking, or where you least expect to find them, and suddenly out of the blue things look whole lot brighter DJ-wise. But as I have discovered in my journey, magic can still be found when you are alone and feeling abandoned, when nobody seems to care, if you stay true to your passions in life, even when it feels like the middle of nowhere. A few tracks to call out on this mix: I kick it off with a brilliant, brand new track off the new Jody Wisternoff album (Trails We Blaze) – my fave track from the LP called “Red Stripes”. Pryda also just released an album and the track “Agag” absolutely has me hooked, it’s so sublime and incredibly addicting. Then I sucker-punch you with two back-to-back euphoric Paul Keeley tracks including the only vocal track on the mix, Disco Belle, that I absolutely love. You'll find some of my usual suspects like Labtracks, Soundprank, and Stan Kolev, an absolutely lush and gorgeous track called “My Love Will Surround You” by Dinka, a ridiculously catchy Deadmau5 Progno remix of Bodyrox “What Planet You On”, and finishes off with a brand new Something Good track called “Wannabe” with about the most addictive 80’s-esque piano riff possible that makes me want to dance every time I hear it. I hope you enjoy it. ☺ -Mark DJ GOTEK presents: “Middle of Nowhere”

Brand new Deep House set – just recorded this live on Wednesday, Feb 29th. “Infinity Pool” is a collection of smooth & sexy Deep House tracks that moved me in one way or another and are getting me in the mood for the warmer months and sunnier times ahead. I really ended up loving making this set and I don’t usually get to mix Deep House so it is always a pleasure to work with this material when I find some choons that inspire me. A few tracks to call out: I kick it off with an incredible Henrik Schwarz remix of a really unique track which features Stevie Wonder on vocals (hard to tell, I know..) and I fell in love with it when I first heard it a few years back; Omar’s “Feeling You”. Also, recently a friend of mine in L.A. turned me onto a relatively new artist on the Deep House scene called Maceo Plex, who is blowing up the genre at the moment and I managed to sneak in two Maceo Plex remixes on this set, which I love. Bunch of other great deep stuff with some of my faves like Moza, Stan Kolev, and Soulfinder, then I finish it off with a remix by an artist that you usually don’t find outside of Progressive House or Trance, Michael Cassette, which is also a very uplifting deep house vocal track that I adore by Egibe Abenda, called “Umbaio”. Hope you enjoy! –djgotek DJ GOTEK presents: “Infinity Pool”

Brand new DJ Promo Mix: “Deep Oxygen” - Deep House isn’t something I get to spin often but I do have a love affair with the Deep sounds and it’s definitely sexy music for the beautiful people in the pre-clubbing cocktail hours, summer terrace parties, and hangin’ out with friends and cocktails at the pool-side. This particular set I first played live a little over a year ago for a good friend’s private 40th birthday party at a club in Portland, OR, called "the Paragon" and it was truly a magical evening that I won’t soon forget. I set out to make this mix a sexy and euphoric cocktail-party vibe, but it does definitely take a few walks down some darker and mysterious alleyways here and there, and maintains a deep tribal beat throughout. I promised I would record the exact tracklisting (well, the first 13 tracks of an all-night set) for my friend’s belated birthday present, so sorry this took over a year, Mr. Dave Henry.. Note from party: I originally almost didn’t play “Deep Daap” by Roy Rosenfeld because I thought it might not be accessible enough for the mixed crowd, but this was actually the first track that brought the girls out onto the dance floor, so I was happy I did… Hope y’all enjoy! DJ Gotek =)

Every man over forty is a scoundrel - George Bernard Shaw DJGotek progressive house demo mix - Enchanted Island
July 26, 2011 06:33 PM PDT
Brand new Summer demo mix! I am super stoked about this one and really tried to blend a mixture of sunny Balearic sounds with some other amazingly uplifting Progressive House and Trance along with plenty of oceanic and tropical ambiance samples. A few tracks to call attention to: Nalin & Kane’s “Beachball” is a world-famous Ibiza Trance anthem from yester-year and this recent Joris Voorn Tech House remix takes it to the next level with a new clean, modern sound. Also, finally got to mix in my one of my all-time FAVE tracks that is literally a part of my soul, Mike Foyle’s “Shipwrecked” – always takes my breath away every time. Lastly, I am honored to feature a very special track called “Say” by Sopheary & Adam Tas; Sopheary is an amazing and lovely talent from Seattle who’s voice is being heard around the world by some of the biggest DJ’s out there like Armin van Buuren. Hope you enjoy! -Gotek =) DJ GOTEK presents: “Enchanted Island”

I set out to make this mix extremely euphoric, and it’s comprised of some of my very favorite spine-tingly Progressive House and Prog-Trance tracks at the moment. I kicked it off with a truly ingenious, incredible, moving track that inspired the name of the mix, Dapple Apple’s amazingly beautiful “Cognac 1994”. I found that track truly inspiring and I guess it sort of reminded me of when amazing ideas bubble up in your imagination in the youthful innocence of daydreams. I also used a special track I have been meaning to mix for a long time, Soundprank’s hauntingly gorgeous remix of Shiloh’s “Landmine Hopscotch” as well featured some of my other all-time fave artists, Jaytech, Something Good (twice!), a really cool Ronski Speed remix, Dinka, Stan Kolev, and the insanely addictive PROFF remix of “Wonder Why” by DJGenerous. Hope you enjoy.. ☺ DJ GOTEK presents: “Daydream”

Final version. Re-recorded this mix on Sunday, April 10, 2011. If you have listened to the original "Mantis Trax" mix, you will notice that I changed the track order just a bit that was more to my liking, and also have incorporated an excellent master limiter on the post-recording mastering of the file, so the sound quality and volume are greatly improved compared to the first version. This mix is completed with some samples of Asian Cicada and Crickets to enhance the "insectoid" theme - I truly can't remember what inspired that now, but still I think it sounds kinda cool.. LOL! Hope you enjoy. -Gotek ☺
