A Good Trance Music Mix Set By DJ Lee Tamus (BestTranceMusic.com)

September 24th, 2008

Technik Turn table CG - DJ Lee Tamus Trance music mix set 

A good friend of mine (DJ Lee Tamus) recently, just got into mixing dance music, in particular Trance which is a genre of electronic music that I thoroughly enjoy. He sent me his first mix, a 46 minute set of some trance music from a few years back until today so the songs are not that old. I listened to it, and it’s actually pretty good, a good mix of some vocal trance all the way to hard progressive trance. The mixing is O.K, but needs a little improvement. He will also be setting up a web site soon, I know his mixing (djaying) will improve by then.
