The whole 'Pure Trance' movement started life as a kickback against the dilution of the trance scene, instead aiming to celebrate and be proud of what first drew so many to the genre's flame.

Now 11 years on, Pure Trance has established itself as its own bonafide scene in the world of Electronic Dance Music - hosting festival stages & events on all 5 continents, boasting 4 record labels that have given a platform to countless new talents, a weekly radio show with a devoted listenership of millions, a worldwide community of fans that have become fans & this critically acclaimed compilations series that has now reached its 10th instalment.

The number 10 seemed a sort of punctuation point, which is why I decided to take the reins of this 3-disc landmark edition and curate, compile & mix the whole thing alone. It's all about celebrating the sound of Trance music - the journey, the emotion of it. And this is of course why Pure Trance exists. Thanks for being a part of it.
