Uplifting Trance Sessions EP. 809: Fresh Trance Music, World Premieres and Trance Family Energy
Alright Trance friends, welcome to Uplifting Trance Sessions EP. 809. I hope your speakers are ready, because this week’s show comes with a fresh package of trance that feels bright, emotional, powerful, and full of movement. Some episodes start with pure energy. Others begin with a little more space and atmosphere. This one opens wide, then keeps building until the final track.
Music That Breathes And Connects
For me, that is one of the best feelings when I prepare a new episode. I do not want a playlist that just runs from track to track. I want the music to breathe. I want the melodies to connect. I want the emotional moments to hit properly, and I want the harder tracks to bring real pressure when the episode needs it. Uplifting Trance Sessions EP. 809 has that balance.
Fresh Names, World Premieres And Your Vote
This week, you will hear fresh trance music from Jonas Steur, Enigma State & Peter Steele, Richard Durand & Brittany Egbert, JOSEPH JAMES, SUPERSTRINGS, Steffen Pedersen, Derek Ryan, Solarstone, and many more. You will also hear two world premieres on State Control Records and, of course, your Trance Family Track of the Week.
Aurora-bird (CHN) – Where Stars Alight
The show opens with Aurora-bird (CHN) – Where Stars Alight on 2Rock Uplifting. I love starting an episode with a track that gives the mix light, space, and melody right away. This one has a beautiful title, and it fits the feeling of the opening perfectly. It gives EP. 809 a wide and emotional start without rushing straight into full power.
DJ Smash – Destiny
From there, DJ Smash – Destiny on AROS Music keeps the melodic flow moving. A title like “Destiny” always fits well in trance because this music often feels connected to big emotions, memories, and moments that stay with you. I like how this track helps the episode settle into its early energy.
Richard Durand & Brittany Egbert – Move
Then comes Richard Durand & Brittany Egbert – Move on Magik Muzik. Richard Durand is a name many trance fans know well, and together with Brittany Egbert, this track brings a strong vocal moment into the show. Vocal trance needs to feel natural to work, and “Move” gives the episode that human touch while keeping the energy alive.
Jonas Steur – For Eternity
Jonas Steur – For Eternity on Pure Trance is another important moment in this episode. Jonas Steur has been connected to quality melodic electronic music for many years, and seeing his name in the tracklist immediately gives the show a certain classic feeling. “For Eternity” brings that deeper, emotional Pure Trance mood into EP. 809 and adds a different color to the flow.
Hypersia & Time Geometry – Blue Planet
With Hypersia & Time Geometry – Blue Planet on VANDIT, the episode moves into a wider, more driving space. VANDIT has always had a strong place in trance, and this track brings a clean, powerful sound that fits well after the emotional opening section. It gives the mix more lift and keeps the momentum rising.
John O’Leathem – Meta Arena
The pressure increases with John O’Leathem – Meta Arena on High Voltage. I enjoy having tracks like this in the show because they bring a tougher edge and stop the episode from becoming too soft. Trance needs emotion, but it also needs bite. “Meta Arena” adds that extra push.
Enigma State & Peter Steele – Identity
One of the strong middle-section moments is Enigma State & Peter Steele – Identity on Regenerate Records. This track brings a serious trance feeling into the episode. Enigma State and Peter Steele are both names that fit beautifully into a powerful set, and “Identity” gives EP. 809 more depth and character.
Steffen Pedersen – Prisoner of Your Own Mind
Then I am proud to present the first State Control Records world premiere of the episode: Steffen Pedersen – Prisoner of Your Own Mind. World premieres are always special for me, especially when I can share fresh music from my own label directly with the Trance Family. This track has a strong title and a strong emotional pull. It adds intensity to the episode and shows exactly why I love supporting new trance music through State Control Records.
POINoir – December Night
The second world premiere follows with POINoir – December Night, also on State Control Records. This one brings another mood into the show. The title already feels cold, dark, and atmospheric, and that makes it a great contrast inside the episode. I like when a track has its own identity and does not feel like a copy of everything around it. “December Night” gives EP. 809 another special State Control moment.
Claas Inc. – Beyond The Silence
After that, Claas Inc. – Beyond The Silence on Chasing Dreams brings the episode back into a more melodic and emotional lane. I always enjoy titles that sound like they belong in trance before the track even starts. “Beyond The Silence” has that feeling. It gives the listener a little space before the energy rises again.
Derek Ryan & Adara – Not So Far Away
A beautiful vocal moment comes with Derek Ryan & Adara – Not So Far Away on Ascent Recordings. Adara’s vocal adds warmth and feeling, while the track keeps enough drive to stay inside the flow of the mix. This is the kind of vocal trance I love playing because it feels personal without losing its power.
Dave Cold & DocDistortion – Broken Skies
The episode then turns darker and heavier with Dave Cold & DocDistortion – Broken Skies on Extrema Global Music. That title alone already sounds dramatic, and the track brings a more intense feeling into the show. It adds contrast, and contrast is what keeps a long trance episode alive.
Eleven Echoes of the Abyss
Casey Allen – Eleven Echoes of the Abyss in the Supernova Mix on Suanda Music keeps that deeper energy moving. I like this part of EP. 809 because it feels more dramatic and cinematic without breaking the trance flow. It gives the show a stronger late-section atmosphere.
JOSEPH JAMES (IRL) – Odyssey
Then JOSEPH JAMES (IRL) – Odyssey on Subculture brings that proper driving trance pressure. Subculture tracks often have a certain force, and “Odyssey” fits perfectly into this part of the episode. It feels like the show is pushing toward its peak.
Matt Robertson – Starburst
This week’s Trance Family Track of the Week is Matt Robertson – Starburst on Monster Force. I love this feature because it brings your voice into the podcast. It is not only my selection. It is also the Trance Family choosing the track that connected the most. “Starburst” has the right energy for that spot, and it feels great to hear it return as your choice.

Please do not forget to vote for your favorite track from this episode. Your vote decides the next Trance Family Track of the Week, and every vote helps support the artists and shape the sound of the show.
Solarstone – Solarcoaster
The final part brings a real trance classic feeling with Solarstone – Solarcoaster in the SUPERSTRINGS Emotional Rollercoaster Remix on Armada Captivating. “Solarcoaster” is a name that many trance fans will recognize, and this remix brings that emotional lift into the final stretch of EP. 809. It is a beautiful moment for longtime listeners and a strong discovery for newer fans.
CARA EDWARDS – Dreams Inside Us
The episode closes with CARA EDWARDS – Dreams Inside Us on Damaged Records. I like ending with a track that leaves emotion in the room after the final beat. This one gives the show a strong final feeling and closes EP. 809 with melody, energy, and heart.
Light, Drive And Two World Premieres
For me, Uplifting Trance Sessions EP. 809 is a strong episode with fresh uplifting trance, vocal emotion, darker pressure, two State Control Records world premieres, your Trance Family Track of the Week, and a beautiful classic touch near the end. It has light, drive, atmosphere, and enough power to keep the speakers busy.
