This episode kicks off with some ultra-downtempo breaks then works its way towards illbent, jungle, and dub.

  1. Eclipsed by Sadness… Prince Charming
  2. Make It Go Away… kHz
  3. A Tongue of Flame (Unidentified Flying Dubplate Mix)
  4. Sound Check… Sub Dub
  5. Eating Sweetheart Valentine Candygram Vertebrae… Prince Charming
  6. Here I Come (Jungle)… Barrington Levy (Remixed by Ridley Don)
  7. Armoured D… Dillinja
  8. Glactic Funk (Tau Ceti mix)… DJ Spooky
  9. Mr. Dubfire… Mad Professor & Lee Perry
  10. Stoned Again… Culture

(As a reminder to explain my goofy show titling/dating convension: the episode number of 029701 can be translated pretty simply: February 1997, first mix of the month. The “star date” was just my stupid way of designating specifically when the mix was done by writing the date backwards (so 79.31.10 is February 13, 1997).

I was pretty obsessive about recording my shows during college but, sadly, I didn’t record every show. Nevertheless, I do have the entire series of a 45-minute show I did weekly during the Spring 1997 semester at WMWC titled Trancelike State. It was part of a three-hour show that also featured jazz and reggae (if I remember correctly). I’ve always held a spot in my heart for the Trancelike State mixes because they carried a particular mood throughout each set, had decent blends, and captures that mid-to-late 90′s electronica vibe.

While I played a fair amount of jungle and drum-n-bass, I also snuck in experimental stuff from DJ Spooky, turntablism, downtempo beats, and left-field Jamaican dub selections.

This is the first episode, a special 90-minute set. The episode number of 019701 can be translated pretty simply: January 1997, first mix of the month. The “star date” was just my stupid way of designating specifically when the mix was done by writing the date backwards (so 79.61.10 is January 16, 1997).

I’ve included track listings. If you’d like to see what future episodes of Trancelike State hold, visit this cached Internet Archive page.
