Having last month delivered a virtuoso performance at his sold-out 25 Years-marking open-to-close show at AmsterdamÆs famed Paradiso concert hall, he follows it in the most fitting of fashions, through the release of an epic-in-every-sense mix- comp. Over the 4xCD/mix course of æEssence Of Trance - 25 Years of RAMÆ, track-by-track he charts his own personal musical history. Both through its mixing and compiling, in this career-defining endeavor RAM has left nothing to chance. In preparation he drew up a quarter-decade-spanning list of music that - at its peak - numbered more than 400 potential inclusions. From there he began the often-brutal task of filtering them down to 79 tracks that û over the longer term - best epitomized him as a DJ, and were the quintessential æEssenceÆ of RAM. Inevitably given the timeline, highly recognizable names feature regularly over its quad-mix, near 320-minute runtime. They are though, almost-without-exception, rarely the artistsÆ best-known productions or remixes (a ægreatest hitsÆ, this is not). In the mixing those selected flow together in a captivatingly naturalistic manner that speaks volumes of their intrinsic and time-honored importance within 25 years of RAM set-lists. Grouped into four mix headings (titled by turns Moments, Magic, The Journey and Passion), RAM brings an enviable procession of music to the album. In keeping with his approach, for every mainstage name, thereÆs a clutch of the undergroundÆs most beloved waiting in its mix wings. In the latterÆs regard, the productions of Ralphie B, Vincent de Moor, Chakra, X-Cabs, Salt Tank, Signum, The Thrillseekers, DT8 Project, York, Gaia are to mention but a few. Whilst to the former (though itÆd be easier to tell you whoÆs not there!), the music of Tiδsto, BT, Armin, Oakenfold, A&F, John OÆCallaghan, Solarstone, Dash Berlin, Gareth Emery and dozens of others all take their place.
