About "Persistence":
As most people know, the psychedelic trance and techno scene has made some strong ties in the last couple of years. I’m very fascinated by the psy/techno crossover sound, but if you dig deeper into the techno scene than the obvious psy-related artists and labels, there’s also an enormous world of equally great music to discover.
In this mix I’ve tried to encompass some of the sounds I find interesting in the tech house and techno scene at the moment. It starts with some very mellow, melodic tech house and goes into deeper, more tribal sounds before reaching a climax with peak-time, oldschool techno tracks and finishing with more trance-inspired tunes in the end.
Hope you like it

About DJ pr0fane (Iboga Records):
I have been a DJ since 2002, and an Iboga Records label DJ since 2007, but electronic music already caught my interest back in the 80's, and I fell in love with psychedelic trance in 1997. I am a very dedicated and passionate at what I do, and I consider DJ'ing both an art form and a serious technical craft. That is why I try to constantly test my boundaries and always try to explore new sounds, without of course losing the feel for the nostalgic and emotional - good music never gets out of style.
As a representative for Iboga my musical repertoire of course includes the latest and freshest progressive psychedelic trance, but I also have a love for more house-influenced sounds: from emotional and trance-influenced melodic progressive to phat electro house or deep, hypnotic minimal, tech house or techno. At the right time and setting, I also like to play full on morning sounds, and I also very much enjoy chillout and downbeat-sets, as I see them as both very challenging and independent of the boundaries of the dancefloor.
I take an honor in never limiting myself to just one particular sub-sub-sub-genre of music: to me, a good set should not only be about playing 20 similar-sounding dancefloor "killers" in a row - it should be a journey: evolving, influencing the listener and moving through different emotions and soundscapes, dependant on the setting, time and crowd. That is my main motivation to keep on playing - to create and be a part of those magic moments on the dancefloor where you just surrender to the music, and let it lead the way.
Over the years I have played at some of the best clubs and venues all over Denmark, plus in countries like England, Turkey and Germany. This for instance includes these festivals:
• Fusion Festival (Germany, 2008)
• Full Moon Festival (Germany, 2008)
• Soulclipse Total Solar Eclipse Festival (Turkey, 2006)
• Liquid Time Festival (Germany, 2008)
• Copenhagen Electronic Carnival (Denmark, 2008 & 2009)
• :in:deep:an:dance: Festival (Germany, 2006)
• Naked Festival (Germany, 2006)
• Middle Earth Festival (Denmark, 2005 & 2007)
• Digital Soundscapes Open Air (Denmark, 2009)
• Scandinavian Electronic Music Festival (Denmark, 2004)

times changing -.- think there are more tech sets posted here daily in 2009 then great psychedelic tunes.. (
Times change indeed but close-minded people remain the same
its funny how the trance scene, which in its roots is all about open minds and free spirit, gets such lame comments from people sometimes, be it on Infected mushroom or on Minimal music "ruining" the scene...
come on ppl live and let live, open your freakin minds, espeically since techno music nowdays is more psychedelic than 50% of trance music itself !!!!
anyway,
on the ORIGINAL topic, nice selection and mixes there pr0fski, just do your thing, people will follow

what to say... I am a fan of Profane´s set, so after playing 11 years is always nice to listen to someone´s set that you admire a lot and bring some inspiration and new techniques...
Congratz fella, tracklist looks yummy and I am sure the set aswell!

I myself dont even mix these genres, what i like to mix is psy, but i love to listen to these sets, because much of the inspiration and tricks and stuff like that comes from these minimal sets.....
orsten: I still play lots of progressive psytrance, progressive house and even a bit of full on as well, but I don't see why anyone should limit themself to just one sub-style of music. I'm finding lots of good elements in minimal, techno and tech house, and to me tracks like the ones by Pig & Dan, Paul Kalkbrenner, Ramon Tapia, Fergie and Dubfire have very trance-inducing elements. But it's all subjective anyways (especially what it is considered psychedelic) - to some, trance means mental, euphoric sounds, while others find deeper, hypnotic beats trance-inducing.
