Hello visitor, thanks for stopping by! Welcome to my music blog, which I will use to share my journey through the EDM world with you. This site was created with the original intent of just having somewhere to post my mixes, but it has now become a platform for anything dance music related. Friends’ mixes, album reviews, live sets, event reviews, and cool pictures and videos will all be shared on here. This blog has also become sort of a history project for myself (especially in the Throwbacks section), as I thoroughly enjoy revisiting vintage music and researching old venues. I have tons of respect for all the great producers and DJs out there, so promoting their work is my way of saying thanks.
The beauty of EDM is that there are so many different genres for all the various tastes out there. My focus lies mainly on trance, but I do appreciate the creativity found in all forms of dance music. I have never strayed too far away from trance because that is what I grew up listening to, and it is constantly playing as the soundtrack to my life. If you would like to contribute content or have any recommendations, please email me at damabeats@gmail.com.
I hope you enjoy listening to my selections of music and reading my amateur scribble because this is a subject I am pretty passionate about. It is very rewarding to meet others with similar interests in music, so don’t be shy to leave a comment or join in on any conversations. The best way for me to express my love for this music is by sharing it with you, so I thank you for visiting, and I trust you will return to get your periodic dose of dance music. Cheers!

1337 quality ish. keep up the good work nigga. i love your mixes homeboy!
I just discovered your site and I must say it is awesome. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words… help keep trance alive!
For a decade now, trance has brought joy to my life. It has been a source of comfort when I was down and a source of high on any other times. I study w/ it, work out w/ it, and party w/ it. Now, I even make money w/ it by producing and Djing and if it wasn’t for trance I never would’ve been able to go to law school.
This site is amazing as it feeds my constant and in short
LONG LIVE TRANCE!
Great story man, glad to see the positive influence of trance in someone else’s life! Send me some mixes if you would like me to share them!
I just saw your response.
Ya I’d love to send you some of my mixes. Give me your email address and I’ll forward it to you.
Also, if you want a great throwback, how about Tiesto ISOS 3 panama. Its personally my favorite trance mix to date. Its super old but that mix in that yr. pushed him all the way to the top and thats when he was at his best.
Keep up the good work. Love your website.

Can’t believe I just found this site. What a great idea man! Love the throwback days; I’m actually fully immersed in Digweed @ Twilo at the moment. Keep up the good work and best of luck!
Thanks Patryk! I’m glad you can appreciate Digweed’s style… a lot of the younger people I meet have no idea who he is!

Just found your site when looking for pictures of sunrises. Thanks – am loving the journey back to earlier years!
Gotta say, I’m feeling everything you’ve thrown up. And the collection of sets from EDC is great. Just finished watching the EDC on Netflix and had to find Kaskade and learn more about Steve Aoki etc.
Your time pulling these sets together is greatly appreciated!
damabeats, are you still around? You have not posted since the start of this year. Hope you’re ok, great site.
Come back bro, this site needs updates. If u need sets or help I’ll toss things your way man. Gotta keep this site going. A lot of good stuff already on it. More could be added;)
Cheers
My man,
By this time I assume you are not coming back w/ this site. Are there any other sources or websites that you use? I loved this site. We have very similar taste in music so let me know if you can direct me to some other good places:)
