2024 UPDATE:
- The "Approaching Massive Collective Awakening" playlist contains the type of EDM music (mostly Trance) via which I hear that a massive, enormous collective awakening is drawing ever nearer - within our lifetimes; it is what I live for and why I keep going. I only hear it through this kind of music - the Anticipation, Unity, JOY, Excitement, Celebration, Victory, Triumph, Maturation, Power, Euphoria, Rapture. This music is also Driven in a way that is driven towards a future point of some powerful Event Horizon.
(You cannot listen to the 3rd track (First 8 minutes of Tiesto's "Elements of Life" live 2008 tour - but generally, the whole mood of the entire show) and not tell me that it foretells of something. There is a crystal clear sense of breathless awe and anticipation - of coming together. So crisp, you could touch it.) The earliest track is Guru Josh's "Infinity" from 1990!
I may have a gift - I'm not sure. This music came on the scene at the time that it did, because the universe is a hologram, is it not? This is why I got into electronica in the 90s in the first place - I heard something utterly extraordinary within it. I would dare say that this is THE music that foretells it.
We live in very interesting times. Cheers!
- My strange journey to Electronic Music: Mortal Kombat led me to the music aligned with my soul, because Mortal Kombat, at 15, led me back to myself and gave me a sort of rebirth. The Immortals put out a Mortal Kombat CD to go with the video game (hot tracks: "Scorpion", "Kano", "Hypnotic House"), and the 1995 film soundtrack to Mortal Kombat the Movie, was some of my first introduction to EDM. I intuited a way forward to something untamed, powerful like a gale, and driven inside of me, yearning to be known. I had listened to "club dance" music before, but this was different: underground, deep, primal, sexy, kaleidoscopic, badass, intense, cryptic, evocative of higher spheres of thought, unifying, and it revived like mother's milk. It was a language I could effortlessly understand. This was my path; listening, I peered into the slumbering, swirling power within the rising collective - a delicious underground rebellion - and within myself. I felt I was being invited to participate in something enormous. The film soundtrack introduced me to Orbital's "Halcyon and On and On", and the rest is history, because my life had begun. Since this also happened to so many other people, I have to, yet again, conclude that the universe is... holographic.
[The music may definitely be off-putting to those that cannot stomach its repetitive, even robotic elements. Those of us that can find in EDM trance-inducing states of consciousness, reminiscent of indigenous shamanism.]

- My mission is to seek non-mainstream, high quality climactic, resplendent & hauntingly beautiful music: as Powerful and Soul-stirring as possible:
from every nook and cranny (tracker modules, video games, tv shows, etc...), which I have been doing for quite a long while. My separate "Soulquench" Spotify playlist is a collection of some of the most refined of my discoveries, going by several criteria, but doesn't include much of the electronica I've found - some of which I hope to share here, under the Hauntingly Beautiful playlist.
If you think I'd love a track, please send it to me!
