\"\"
Originally scheduled to take place at Bikkuri Lounge<\/em>, alleged legal issues between that venue and the City of Orlando forced Lost In Trancelation<\/em> to relocate last night over to one of our favorites, Iron Cow<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Stepping inside, we were greeted by Door Hostess & Host Suzy Solar and Brian Benning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Caught the final few minutes of the opening set by DJ Robb Blak (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lost In Trancelation<\/em> is all about Trance and that’s what Robb Blak was playing, ending with a vocal Trance selection.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Openers often face empty dance floors but that was not the case last night. Even at 10PM, there was a crowd already-growing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Brian McCalla (USA) came on next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
More than half his selections were Uplifting Trance tunes with vocals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Lost in Trancelation<\/em> (LIT) shows are all about the Trance genre, something we don’t see enough of here in Orlando.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Indeed, the last LIT<\/em> we attended in Orlando was back in June, 2023 at Bikkuri <\/em>when DJ Ben Gold (GB) played. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Brian McCalla was extremely animated, really getting into his set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
He is based in the Cleveland area.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor activity continued to pick-up during his set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Iron Cow<\/em> has a shiny disco ball over the dance floor so you know they’re legit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Great set!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We ran into numerous peeps from the music scene. While some were new, most we knew.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When we looked up at the booth after 11PM, the next DJ had come on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
One of the instigators of Lost In Trancelation<\/em>, DJ Suzy Solar (USA).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Always adorable!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And lots of Uplifting Trance in her set.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
She had the crowd bouncing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The dance floor was jammed. The bar was jammed. We were pleased the event was moved to Iron Cow<\/em> which is far more spacious than Bikkuri<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We were also pleased that the crowd overall included a lot of young people. There is interest in Trance in the Orlando market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
That look you get when the song crashes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Wonderful set. Over the years, LIT<\/em> events in Orlando have included not just Ben Gold but also other world-class DJ’s such A.L.E.X. Morph (D), The Thrillseekers (GB), Alex Distephano (I) and Sean Tyas (CH). We can’t wait to see who is next.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We were told his flight was diverted to Jacksonville because of weather over the Orlando airport and that he was ubering from there to Iron Cow<\/em>. Yet at midnight, right on time, there he was, the headliner…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ M.I.K.E. Push (B)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Belgian-born DJ is originally from Antwerp which is in the Flemish-speaking portion of northern Belgium. Many of the world’s top Trance DJ’s are either from that part of Belgium or from the adjoining Netherlands. Back in 2012 we featured Belgium-originated Dance music, many quite Trancy, on our travel Blog<\/em> HERE<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Dance floor got jammed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Crowd was dancing like they meant it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A mix of Uplifting Trance, Progressive Trance and Tech Trance had the dance floor swooning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
M.I.K.E. Push is now based in NYC.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They say you can never go wrong with Go Go girls.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
They <\/em>were right!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

At Lost in Trancelation<\/em> last night, a good time was had…..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
