God I loved the 90's so much. So many great parties. Lovely memories - thanks for sharing this classic choonage. "sleeper" literally brought tears to my eyes.

The 90s was a great time for partying

My dad used to have this disc. Now it's my turn.

Hey Johan, im an old school DJ from Dublin started on vinyl and kept my 1210's to this day, just wanted to say thanks for one of the best mixes ive ever heard!!! when you brought in Gloria I was like what a mix!!! Then when Octopus came in I was like Holy Fv@$.... That's a serious MIX!!! all in all a top quality set with great track selection, a great tribute to the label overall. Thanks so much for this Really great work

A perfect label. There aren't many.

Johan, your channel and mixes is one of those few reasons why youtube should keep its existence.

Platipus records is one of the few labels that still stays true to classic trance sound from the early 90s. And by the way, Mongoose is a killer track.

Platipus ever best Trance Label......♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Platipus has been bringing tears to my eyes for over 25 years, wonderful, sublime, emotional music. Great set this 👏 well done ❤

the best label ever..together with bonzai..and knite force(breakbeat) rising high and ofcourse R&S....i had a platipus t shirt back in the days 1992..it was glowing in black light...i was wearing it in all the parties..i love you guys...thanks for all good vibes GREETINGS from athens greece

Seen Art of Trance, Union Jack and Terra Firma do a live set in 99 (i think it was 99) and it was the most amazing rave night ive ever had.. Such crystal clear sound.. Beautiful melodies. I had a lot of the tracks they played on vinyl but didn't recognize them.. Its was something special. They had bongo drums and other percussion instruments and the lighting was out of this world. Maybe it was just the Mitzi, but i had the best night.. haha.

1A Klasse Mix. Platipus Rec. forever. Einer meiner Lieblingslabels.

So many timeless classics - I saw the Platypus crew play in Glasgow mid 90s , bought some slipmats from them I still have to this day , and we all went back to a house party where they continued on Dj'ing. Great people, fab tunes, the best of days ..and nights :-)

London 97-98'... The best parties ever 🎉

Best.Label.Ever!

It's hard to believe that these records are 30 years old now. They were so ahead of their time it's untrue. The production on each and every one of them is unreal. What a label...and Johan has done a top-notch job of mixing them. I was tempted to have a go myself and putting something like this together but after hearing this mix, I'm not sure I could do better. Great mix of great tunes.

Easter Island is too good. It never seizes to amaze how some really simple tracks just go deep into your spine.

One of my favourite labels, very nice mix

The mood

30:27 to 31:40 is one of the best trance moment I've ever heard...damn...it still gives me goosebumps 26 years later. I miss those days. Clanger-Seadog is a masterpiece amongst masterpieces.

Perfect from start to end

Listening to this mix at least once every month :)

legendary label

Union Jack, Art of Trance.....GRANDES !!! 🙂🙂

A-class earcandy

Truly a sublime set from the very best

Oh my goodness, what a Mix. I Can't describe the feelings which are running through my system. Big smile on my face. Thank you so much for the upload. Best label.

Nice to dig into this catalogue of music. I’m a 90s goa/psychedelic trance fan so didn’t dig much into this. Very welcoming now. And can I say this is how mixes should be uploaded! Cover art (this case Vinyl label) and the name of the track listed on the video. Also the tracklist in the description. Very cool! I’ve been thinking of this if ever I mixed more and uploaded. Bonus for the sweet visualized around the vinyl label!!

One of the best trance labels, i just didn't bother too much with their stuff before though

I love platipus :)

Lov'in The Blast From The Past!!!

octopus dives deeeeep :D

This must have been some tough choices my man!

OMG I was waiting for this all along. Great selection of tracks and very nice mixing Johan, thanks a lot for posting such a wonderful guide for the legendary Platipus! I wish Cactus was also included in the mix though.

Still the best Trance Label in the World!

Love it mate thanks for the upload!!

Very sweet to put Meditate and Now&Zen side by side ^_^ Top notch compilation !

OMG blast from the past!

I was listening to this last night after a smoke and it's brilliant. Even the visuals and presentation is well put together. Great work man.

For all the Producers out there: One of the Main Secrets of the Classic Way is real Analog Gear. Today often Tracks sound steryl and you can hear that they try to make it sound alive with Plug Ins fail desperately. Here some Tips: 1.Use a Analog Summer and produce over that from the first Track. This Thing gives you the right Dimension to work in and will form your Sound as Alive because of its uncalculability and as well the little musical and wanted flaws who helps your Plug ins becominh alive.. Second: Use outboard gear and re-record Tracks. Use Hi, Band and Lo Pass Filter Analog. Use Pre Amps, Tube Pre Amps to give your Tracks Warmth. This all will also help you to find a deeper and more intimate Relationship with Sound in General. Furthermore you can buy a Analog Mixing Desk but be careful with Quality, some sound like Crap! 3. Get the Hell out of your fckin Chair!!! Stand, walk around, Dance. Therefore its good to have some Gear and Synths standing around in the Studio. You will produce different. Staring into a Screen makes you stiff and there is Danger for inner Boredom and Emptiness. Back in the Days they "had" to walk around. You "want" to. Check the Studio of Deadmau5. 4. Pray for divine Inspiration!!! Love and Peace!!! Last but not least! Dont just Copy, find "your" Way!!!

THX a bunch for this one and a bunch of other mixes you did,great song selections and a flawless mix,you Sir RULE!!! Keep up the good work D.

Thanks, Johan, for featuring so many good tunes. I've added more than a few to my collection.

Epic!!!

Moving melody productions

What a label! Nice mix

Revisiting this one tonight ...Excellent as always Johan, sending massive thanks from Dublin 🇮🇪 😉👍 ❤️ 🔊

Platipus is, from my own point of view, the ultimate trance label. Quality of tracks is so high that it is a pain in the *** to highlight one or another. There are other great labels, like EyeQ for example, but Platipus is ahead for sure.

A superb mix of a superb label. One I visit often. Thanks for your work!

Must say, lovely selection!

Awesome 🍻🦘

Superb blending in this mix

awesome video to0 go with the tracks. I didnt realize platipus was so mature early 90s

Thats' how it goes . GG

Awesome Platipus ode ! But I miss 2 really big classics in it: Union Jack's "Cactus" and Vicious Circles "Poltergeist".. 😉😊

Awesome set. Awesome label.

Thankyou johan

What a seeeettttttttt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

great mixing skills

Kaleidoscope is hardly Missing!!!

nniceee

omfg goosebumps

Love this track.... also union jack and humate! and some astalasia!

In a increasingly materialistic, conformist, conservative planet where so many have lost touch with the natural world, where punk and other music sub cultures are long forgotten about or no longer relevant to the youth, this music will never sadly have the mass appeal it once had, the uninitiated will never understand what it represented an approaching age of enlightenment for all good souls.

perrrrfect . XTC peace & love

Pure :p Class 8-)

👊😃💕‼️ これだよ❗

Realy excellent mix👌with soulfull tracks from a Great label. IT inspires me to spin my own platipus records on my Technics SL1200 again. Thx🙏

dope

Kocham platipus

Uhhhhh my remember :)

Fantastic track selection. I have a lot of these on vinyl. I just think you missed the boat on excluding "Yeti" from Union Jack in this mix since you included "Cockroach" which is basically the flip side of "Yeti." Both tracks are equally powerful.

Every track is top shelf pure acid progressive deep trance. (Quoting Simon)

Still here

ok John, good selection as usual. All the best.

😍😍

wooow

Is this perfect...or just perfect??? Can't quite decide

Red Herring is the best. And probably the last Trance track I ever liked, because Trance only got downwards from there on ..

My ex had every single Platipus and Dragonfly release on vinyl.

Do i Hear of another record coming out soon circa 2023? on PlATIPUS RECORDS? I DO HOPE SO....

Hey Johan, any chance we can get this one without the pisstake amount of adds? This is probably my favourite mix on YT and I can't listen to it anymore

man i love ur mixes, do u have an HQ download?

I had read somewhere In The comment's of another video posted on The site That art of Trance was a freakin genius at making Trance music, Also I don't Get why The song Title Is spelled madagasga when It's madagascar.

Brilliant mix, unfortunately without Humate and Moogwai. Nevertheless, top track selection. Platipus has always been my favourite trance label and still is. Simon Berry is still on fire

what's the techno version of Platypus?....appreciate your answer...I was there but having fun not collecting names...great times...

very nice trance label from UK

Yep not bad set . 🇮🇪

first albums i ever bought

What are the vocals in the first song ?

Remix is cool om te doen

Love yer chanel...maybe could you do a Shi-take records mix, Exist dance records, really appreciate you friend, thanx very much ! Oh ya maybe Spicelab aswell ?

Looiiiivvreeeee cambodia
