Keep Fit Trance Trance Beats So welcome to a new form of Trance which I have just made up called Keep Fit Trance it’s not really that different from any other Trance apart from the fact that it got a beat that you could do a hit class to. I do like the second lot of drum beats in this track.

October Trance Trance It looks like October 2020 is Trance month for me as I have been very busy and it appears that all the tracks I have written have been Trance sounding in some way or other. Not sure just how many of the tracks will end up here.

Warehouse Trance Part 1 This is part 1 of the Warehouse Trance series, don’t know how many parts there will be, but had fun making the tracks. A lot of the samples that were used on this track have been very heavily modified to get the sound that I was after.

Dupe Blues
If all has gone well I think I have managed to upload a new music track of mine to YouTube for the first time in weeks, they appear to have changed how you upload stuff on the site.

Largerita ( Very Updated Content)
Largerita ( Very Updated Content)
This is a great Summer drink (Yes, it's true that the UK does have summers, it's just they don't last long! normally 3 or 4 days then it's rain, rain and rain!) that with great food and friends is a very nice drink that always goes down well, and it is also a hot summers day drink and a hot summer is even better (But much much rarer here in the UK!), and a BBQ is well even more better! (hey English is my first language, which I am still trying to learn!)
So to make my version of a Largerita you will need;
( I did say to make my version of a Largerita! you may find others that have similar ideas, they are also worth having a go at, it may be that one of the versions you find is just what you are looking for! )
So you need the following bits and pieces, leaving any of these items out, will as you have worked in in what you make not being a Largerita!
Bottle of Mexican Beer
(For me this is Sol, as I have not here in the UK found anything else for sale from Mexico) (330 ml) make sure it's cold, (I said Cold got it?) if you have no Sol,(yes, and I also do bad puns!) I have found that any 5% (Alc vol) bottled Larger works, but for some reason the less "sweet" ones work much better, your taste buds might have other ideas!....(and if they do, give them a taking to.....)( make sure the beer is cold, you will see a theme, about cold here....so the beer has to be cold okay? got that!)
One shot of Tequila
(The best you have around, also without this ingredient you will not have a Largerita, and I mean the best you have (Tequila that is), your Largerita will taste much better if you don't skimp on the quality of the ingredients honest.....if you happen to have Patron Platinum, and who doesn't? then go for it, it really does make a big difference to the final drink, I should know as I have tried this drink with several different Tequila's and its sad to say that in the case of Tequila you get what you pay for, at least that's what my taste buds are telling me!)
One shot of Triple Sec
(Any make seems to work, but please do note that different Triple Sec's do have different tastes, and deep flavors so find one you like.)
One shot of Lime Cordial
(The higher the Lime content the better, here in the UK, I have found that Britvic and Rose Lime Cordial work well, for me that is (my taste buds again).)
Fresh Lime Juice to taste
(Not really needed, but try it for the first glass or two, it's a real surprise what a little fresh Lime juice can do to the taste of a drink.) No I don't know why but it just makes a difference!
Mix vigorously and serve with ice
(Well don't ask me why, but do not leave this out, as it makes all the difference to the final drink, you end up with in your hand, well to me it does...and I promise you, I have tried this recipe both ways and this is the best way (with Ice that is.....)
I have read somewhere that it deepens the taste, whatever that means!
(All I know is that it really does change the nature of the drink into something-worth having on a hot day, with lots of blue sky, your shades on and a BBQ near by...)
Now sit down, relax, make sure you have your shades on, enjoy a sip or two of your Largerita, chill and enjoy the taste and the blue sky and if you have a BBQ near by, enjoy a little snack to help with your Largerita.
When you find that your glass is empty, then do go and make yourself another! ( of course as your thought ahead you will go to the fridge and just fill you glass from the pitcher of Largerita you made earlier, because you know just how great a drink it is!!)
My Thoughts on all of this
So there you have my version of a Largerita, which I have to say it always works well for me.
I suspect that the better the ingredients the better the end result, but then, you know that don't you?
Also it's a bit like when baking, keep to the measures given, as it makes all the difference. (yes just a little bit over on just one of the items can change the whole nature and the final taste of resulting drink) (I have warned you, as I know from my own experience! that it can make a great drink, complete crap!)
Have fun and let me know how you got on, and if you can remember what Larger, Lime cordial and Triple Sec and Tequila you used, let me know, so that I can try them out assuming I can get them in the UK that is.

Base Time Trance Trance at 160bps
I like this track, it does take a while for the tune to fully start but once underway it just does not stop.

Drums and Trance Trance at 160bps
This is a new track made with a new sample pack that I brought from Amplify, so far I am having lots of fun with creating tracks. I have gone from doing no music to suddenly having far too many musical ideas.
No doubt in the coming days you will see the results of this. I also think that it wont just be the new sample pack that I will end up using.

how did that happen?
So not sure how it happened but I appear to have brought a new car which is a surprise to me its costing me any more money than what I was paying. The new car will be more fuel efficient, or so I am told, not sure I am really believing that bit but we will wait and see.
is it a good time to get a new car with all the bad stuff happening out there?
I just don't know.
What I do know is that I wont have to worry about changing my car for another couple of years.

Oh Look a Blog post!
Oh Look a Blog Post!
I know what a strange thing to have happened in 2020 and its already the 3rd day of the year.
Anyway this is a text blog so that I can say that its still a live blog.
Will be interesting to see just how many blog posts I do this year, and just how many of them will be actual text and not a link to videos that I like.
