This is a long article but goes into detail about the difficulty for DJs, producers and the smaller promoters in the dance music industry. Yet another bit of a reminder to support up and coming acts and not those sucking the industry dry.

Nightlife is under threat like never before. Patrick Hinton investigates the scale of problems facing dance music in 2023 and considers solutions, speaking to the industry's most visible workers: artists

One of my personal all-time timeless classics: Access! What a stormer of a tune this was in the 90s (and still is).

Here's a bit of history behind that tune. I can't believe they just casually knocked it up from nothing within 2 hours (short version of the story behind it) and just goes to show that you can produce a banger of a tune without hundreds of layers, if you get it right that is!

If you fancy some live mixes to help you through the day then The Pirates of Perth have daily/weekly shows. The Evolution one each Wednesday is a great one run by some friends over in Perth Australia, packed with tunes from banging house classics to upfront tech house.

Perth times are 7 hours ahead of the UK's British Summer time so do have that in mind when checking the times on the flyer. Head on over from 10am UK BST time.

PIRATES OF PERTH - WEDNESDAY - EVOLUTION
Its that time again for the Evolution DJ's to break out the tunes and close out this hump day in style. A massive line up as always with local and international DJ's taking over the airwaves from 5pm Perth 10am UK until late. We hope you will be locked and loaded where ever you may be.

Morning all. All likes and follows of our socials and streams are really appreciated. It costs you nothing but a point and click, maybe a cheeky bit of typing. Even playing mixes in the background whilst you're working, doing house chores or whatever goes a long way.

So, if you have any of your own pages, mixes or whatever to be liked or shared etc. feel free to add them here. I do try and keep up with other's too where I can see the love being shared.

Very true this from Phil. Play to the crowd and not yourself.

Some might think playing new stuff week in and out in a bar/club is being fresh but it's not.

27/04/2023

We've been a little quiet after our SWT special. A little rest after the fact, a bit of holidaying here and there and then back to look at what's next events-wise. Plus we'll have some more mixes to share soon.

Here's a little meme to cheer up your day. If you're sad, don't worry as vinyl shopping always has the answer! Hey, we're not against the digital tuneage either but vinyl memes are just better 😅

So the mix that wasn't to be has been post recorded by DDH. Due to technical issues the final set by DDH was never played. Thankfully he has still made a recording of how it might have gone on the night by playing from the tunes on his playlist for that final set.

Links below are to mixcloud via the image or soundcloud if that's your preference.

Lots of the latest banging trance ranging from some seriously pumping tech trance, to some vocal and uplifting and with a few remixes of classics too. Oh and he did plan to finish on one particular tune, a big classic from his record crate.

Give this one a play or share and tell us what you think. Spong-E and Tracid mixes to follow in due course.

BeatBloxers were at The Stage & Radio in Manchester on 20th April 2023. Sadly DDH didn't get to play his last set of the night as the night had to finish earlier than planned for technical reasons out of our control. DDH has post recorded this mix that never made it on the big night sadly. However h...

Wishing one of our supporters a very happy landmark birthday today. Hope you have a great birthday Tracy. With love from the BeatBloxers team 🍰 💃🏻🎉🍷

DDH has re-recorded the set he played live at Stage & Radio on 20th April. Warming up with a couple and then dropping into some serious trance classics. A vinyl mix that went down a storm on the night. A couple of bonus tunes added into this one as well.

Hope you enjoy if you missed it the first time, or you can enjoy it all over again. Hopefully mixes from Spong-E and Tracid from the live event will follow in due course and a second set from DDH where he moved on to some of the latest uplifting, vocal and tech trance out there currently.

A big thanks again from the BeatBloxers team.

BeatBloxers were at The Stage & Radio in Manchester on 20th April 2023. DDH, Spong-E & Tracid each did a mix and this was the first set of the night by DDH. First couple of tunes warming up into some serious classic trance. A mix by vinyl that was enjoyed by all on the night. We hope to do further e...

Here's some of the photos we've been able to rustle up so far. A shame we didn't have more but the phones were needed to scan tickets and take payments for long periods.

A big thanks to everyone that came along and supported the build up to our event. Hope to see you again soon.

21/04/2023

Good morning all.

We just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone that showed up for SWT last night. Also we apologise for the slightly earlier than expected finish and can assure you this was completely out of our control. We had so many tunes in our crates and USBs we could have gone on for days! Thanks for being so understanding in this regard.

We really did have a great time but it was made so much better by the atmosphere and such friendly bunch of people that dance, cheered and chatted to us all night.

Yes we will of course be back! We will be exploring options with Stage and Radio as well as other venues too. As much as we wanted to record last night we weren't able to but, no fear, we will still replay the recordings and share in due course.

Thank you again and watch this space for future news.

Final requests is please give a review and rating of our page as well as our skiddle brand if you bought tickets. The more and higher rates we'll get the more we can produce. Please also share our page with any friends and acquaitances that may wish to support us too.

Last thing is just to say thank you from the DJs and team. Love and respect from DDH (Daz), Spong-e (Kev), Tracid (Dan), LMST (Tiff) and Sammy (Sammy lol).

Thank you once again and we hope to be back soon 🙏🏻💗 💃🏻🕺🏻

P. S. We'll rummage through what pictures we tried to take and upload some. If you took any please do share as well.

Hey hey all. We hope you're all having a great day.

One more sleep until we're at Stage & Radio for our Shall We Trance night! So looking forward to this.

Remember: follow the link below to get your tickets from skiddle or go to skiddle direct if you prefer.

Stage & Radio is free to enter all day from usual opening times and you can buy from their main bar as usual. The event starts at 11pm and no entry from 12.30am so get there early to avoid disappointment. We'd hate for you to miss out.

Hope to see you there bright and early.

From the golden trance classics to the latest trance anthems. Trance the night away with the BeatBloxers team.

Well that tiny USB has got a few hours of trance loaded onto it versus the equivalent in that crate of vinyl!!

A bit of Trance music therapy on offer at our local surgery and chemist 🕺🏻🙌🏻🕺🏻🙌🏻

16/04/2023

Good morning all. Just Sunday to go and then the weekend is over sadly. However that means it's even closer to our Shall We Trance show!

Tracid is one of our DJ team and, as well as DJing, he produces a lot of his own material too. The following link is to one of his recent tunes, see what you think.

A big thanks to Stage & Radio for letting Daz put some posters up and scatter some flyers around.

Sadly we couldn't take more pics as there's a show on tonight, so didn't want to interrupt the DJs that were setting up for their techno show.

15/04/2023

Good morning/afternoon all. The weekend is here!! Hope you have a good one.

We'll be uploading some previous recorded sets to stream through our FB page at some point today hopefully. It'll give you a taste of what's to come for our upcoming event.

There's been lots of interest in the event so a big thank you for your support. Do please remember to buy tickets as well if you're planning on coming. There will be some you can buy also on the day but they will be more expensive.

So don't delay and get your tickets direct from skiddle, link below. A reminder please do not buy resales as they are likely not genuine but just bots sniffing for what they can get! Stick to Skiddle or Resident Advisor.

From the golden trance classics to the latest trance anthems. Trance the night away with the BeatBloxers team.

Good morning/afternoon all, depending on where you are in the world.

Just a quick heads up that you might find you can't comment on this page. You can if you already follow our page (after a 24 hour period) and that's not us being draconian with our rules but more to prevent spam bots writing all over our page. As we are also selling tickets for our upcoming trance event we had suffered with a bit of this.

We hope you can understand. Enjoy your Thursday.

Here's a tune that will definitely be played by one of the DJs on the night. Hope you like.

Are you coming to our Shall We Trance show on 20th April, not or maybe in two minds as you don't really know the DJs?

There will be at least 3 of us playing: Tracid (Dan), Spong-e (Kev) and DDH (Daz) on the night. You might not know us but we definitely know our stuff. We don't just play Trance though this night is trance-themed of course.

Still not sure? Then do listen to any of our mixes over on Mixcloud:

https://www.mixcloud.com/beat_bloxers/

If you're a DJ interested in playing at one of our future shows around Manchester (maybe other areas in the future) then get in touch also. From 90s/00s house/trance/techno to the latest disco/jackin/tech house, trance and techno there will be nights in the future we can consider you for.

11/04/2023

Well hello there! Yes, our big night is getting nearer where we turn up at Stage & Radio for a massive evening of trance classics and the latest uplifting, vocal and tech trance too.

A link to the tick-ets (hyphen in that word case any smell spam bots are sniffing!) is: https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Manchester/Stage-And-Radio/Shall-We-Trance/36296865/

Here's a mini-mix from DDH cramming several trance classics into 20 minutes or so. He'll be joined by Spong-e and Tracid on 20th April for the live one.

Morning all. Well it's been a while since we shared a record meme so this one is out to a certain member of BeatBloxers and a peek into the mind of all the vinyl lovers out there.

Have a happy Monday and welcome to British Summer Time!

It's a shame you can't fold and put the one on the right under your arm as you stroll to the toilet but hey. In fact my son has a numark party mixer arriving for his birthday so I might try that 🤔

If you're over in Perth Australia for this show then get your tickets or spread the word. The Pirates of Perth DJ crew always put on a great show and this will be no different.

Full details and tickets below.

Two trance mixes recently uploaded so if you fancy another trance fix Spong-e has another instalment of his classics (vol 3) and Tracid has weighed in with one he did live last weekend playing some of the latest peak time and uplifting.

More still to upload that I've not got round to including a disco house mix from DDH live on BeatBloxers (yes, we do more than trance) a couple of weeks back as well as more from Spong-e.

Any mixcloud favourites, reposts (and actual plays) always appreciated.

Tracid has a huge passion for all things trance, from the classics up to the latest floor fillers. As well as regular DJ shows he also produces a lot of his own material and you will hear it in his sets for sure. This mix is one he did live for the guys over on Social Vibes on Twitch on 12th March 2...

A bit quiet on the socials for me but still active in the background. Spong-e mixed this set for us over the weekend, please give it a play, favourite or repost if you like. Full of big classic trance tunes and track list is within the comments too.

If you're following us and have your own mixes to share please do. I listen to lots of recordings during the day and will provide feedback too, so please share away.
