This episode of Velocity Trance & Uplifting Radio, hosted by Michael Cooper, delivers a dynamic 132-minute journey through the world of uplifting trance, blending fresh releases, classic remasters, and a heartfelt tribute. The show opens with a new release from Alex Moore and Cheryl Barnes on Future Sound of Egypt, followed by a deep dive into recent tracks from artists like Nikolaos, Will Reese, and Meta & Glide. A major highlight is the 'Hottest Track' spotlight on Paul Oakenfold and Schneider’s 2026 remix of the 1999 classic 'Bullet in the Gun,' marking the second remastered trance classic of the week. The second half features a nostalgic six-track throwback mix from 2006, including iconic tracks like DTA Project’s 'Destination' (Above & Beyond remix) and John O'Bur's 'Ascendancy' (Alex Moff & Woody Van Eyden remix), celebrating the golden era of trance. The episode closes with a deeply emotional tribute to Moya Brennan, the late Irish singer who collaborated with Chicane on the 1999 classic 'Saltwater,' chosen as this week’s Trans Classic in her honor. Michael also promotes his monthly DJ mixes, Spotify playlist, and a recent video mix for Leeds’ Academy 94, reinforcing his connection with the community.
