Hey guys, i was just posting this on my face book and saw this pop up, Li Kwan (aka Paul Austin) was one of my many aliases from when I started out as a successful producer in 1993. I had to make up a different alias for each label I signed to as they all wanted exclusivity. I signed it to Seka Records owned by House legend Dave Lee ZR (aka Joey Negro, Jakarta, Raven Maize). Point Zero got me noticed for the first time being finally released on the major label BMG / Deconstruction. It was actually the B side of a commercial house record that got huge daytime radio airplay. However, I always knew Point Zero was the real gem. Pete Tong made both sides of the vinyl his essential new tune of the week. Paul Oakenfold made Li Kwan part of his legendary Goa mix and support from so many other credible DJ’s got me noticed for the first time. Li Kwan - Point Zero is now regarded as a trance track but predated trance as a genre. One of 93 tracks on my album Retrospective (25 years) out now on Armada Music
Was going to say - it sounded so ahead of it's time. A stunning classic.
You're a legend, Matt!
wow
truly a legend matt, i look forward to playing this stunning track at our bush doof in melbourne this week
Wow!! Im stunned to read that it was you . Ahead of its time mate !
Hard to believe this was created in 1994!!! Still sounds so fresh in 2022, what a masterpiece...
indeed indeed
many trance tracks are like this and never age : KLF 1988-1991, Guru Josh - Infinity (1989), Age of Love 1990-1992, U96 - Das Boot 1992, FELIX - Don't You Want Me (1992), Quench - Dreams (1993), RMB - Universe of Love (1993), RMB - Redemption 1994, dance 2 trance - power of american natives 1993, Legend B "Lost In Love" (1994), Drax - Amphetamine (1994), Sunbeam - Outside World 1994, 2 CULTURE IN A ROOM - Android 1995 and so on
23 toooooooo :D
@@PERONIK88 to infinity
It's frigging inconceivable to think that this is almost 30 years old now. Blows my mind.
1994 had better sounding original tracks than today. What a tune!!!
AMEN to that.
Wow - der Track ist von 1994? Ein Meisterstück!
Matt was ahead of time with this - even now sounds great.
cant even say this about tracks these days really sad
no, he was on point. 1994 was the peak moment in trance music, after which it started slowly going downhill before turning into the commercial overused formula of "dj friendly intro"-"HUEG BREAKDOWN"-"supersaws!"-"dj friendly outro" of early '00s which is going on exactly like that till this very day.
@@wrmusic8736 Not today it is about drop/bass and loud beat, not about breakdown and supersaw.
@burteriksson
I hate this new style all about drop, people do not have time.
the kickdrum and bassline overpower the rest of the track. Seems to be a common theme last few years.
And Wrmusic what is so wrong about breakdowns? Just listen blank&Jones mind of the wonderful director cut.
People do not have patience today, they need instant gratification, that is why today it is about the drop and about 1-2 min. songs.
The breakdowns and 8 -9 minutes songs was great because you need to have patience get to the breakdown and 8-9 min songs have 2 breakdowns.
Simpler times, i do not think taht this technological revolution is that much great for us.
My opinion is it get over our heads,
a certain amount of technology is ok, but if it is too much and too quickly our brain/we do not adapt very good to it.
This is not only nostalgia from me. In that (2000-2003) i was only 7-10 years old i like this music back then and even now. My 2 brothers was 18-21 in that time and they like that music then and they like it now.
What I do not enjoy from the vast majority of todays mainstream releases though, is:
- The lack of soul, feeling, and originality in many tracks. Highly generic sounds that you've heard a million times over
- Production style where the kickdrum and bassline overpower the rest of the track. Seems to be a common theme
- Those whitenoise filled tracks, that actually feel your ears hurting. "CHhhhhhhhhshshshshsh"
Give us clean production, clarity between each channel so we can hear all the sounds that make up the track.
- That generic rolling bassline found in about 90% of tunes
- Those amazing classics that are being 'dumbed down' to sound like everything else today. Terrible reworks
- Those cringeworthy 'Disney' level vocals and cheesy melodies
- Those cheap gimmicks such as EDM style risers that seem to fill so many tracks
All I look for really is a nice clean production, with some originality, some classic vibes and something you feel you might listen to for longer than a couple of weeks.
Sometimes I see producers boasting about 200 channels used etc on there production. The truth is sometimes the simplest of tracks are the best. Those tracks can be overdone, become muddy/messy etc. I've heard 32 channel tracks better than some of those. It's all about creating the vibe and the feeling.
Today I struggle to find almost anything I feel I can say "I' see myself still listening to this in 10 years time" . Far too much quantity over quality nowadays. Most tracks have a very limited shelf life and are quickly forgotten.
I think the move to VST's and digital over analogue equipment has also had some negative effect, but that's just my personal thoughts.
There is few time agents posing as djs 😀
Absolutely still one of my all time favorite trance tracks. Here in 2023
7:51 Gets me every time! 😵 And then at 9:46 the Gregorian chorus... This is not a simple song but a whole musical journey. I feel like Matt Darey's essence is compressed into this masterpiece.
Saw Matt Darey playing in Bournemouth a couple of months ago. He played classics the whole set, and then went in the crowd and chatted to us. Quality geezer.
according to armin van buuren, this song was the one that inspired him to enter the world of trance, it is one of his favorite tracks..1994 armin was 18 years old
We came over the same road here Maximus Max! I took me only 4 days longer to get here 😀
Armin mentioned one last track that inspired him to want to do a radio show. You will know what the name of that track is! My English is not very good and I did not understand the name. He said it in episode 1000 before the chicane track Saltwater.
Does anyone know the rest of the songs that Armin and Ruben named as their favorites during ASOT episode 1000? Thanks
I heard this and I AGREE! THIS IS MY #1 TRACK OF ALL TIMES. Excuse my caps spamming. I get pumped up every time I hear this record.

this is the most amazing "vocal" Trance ever in my humble opinion.
i quoted vocal becase it's a female haunting, not lyrics, and i prefer this amazing sound rather than lyrics because it keeps ur brain in a mindtrip (maybe if you listen someone singing a lyric, the trip kinda stops because ur brain try to understand what it's being said)
5/5stars to this amazing track
This channel is a blessing
Yes it is. A happy daily visitor.
Awesome 👍😆😂😭😅🙃😶
Thank youuuuuuuu
This song has taken me the best part of 15 years to find, I💩 you not,
When you hear a song, don't know what it's called, it's so hard to find, so accidentally trip and fall, when not looking,,,, priceless
Thank youuuuuuuu again ✨✨❤️🤘
My life is now stable.
The best track between 1992- 1998. Techno years in Italy. Clubs: Insomnia, Imperiale, Jaiss.
Genova presente !
‘We’re really spaced out…’ must’ve listened to this a million times in my lifetime.. what a production. Genus Matt thank you for all those times 💛
28 years old and still a masterpiece, will never forget the 1st time hearing it back at a friends house and making him replay the last 3 minutes 5 times in a row, such a godlike ending to a tune. They sure don't make them like this anymore.
3:30 Goosebumps every single time I listen ...
Quando ascolto questo disco non riesco a non pensare al mio amico Mauro Tannino .......❤ ciao Mauro ovunque tu sia
Matt Darey's Masterpiece!!
🔈🔉🔊🎵🎵

After 12 hrs of intense day at Job , when I come home and listen to this track , it gives me happiness and much needed energy for next day , thank u so much Trance Classic and this channel - God bless u and us :)
Wow so good to hear original early trance i was 10 years old and loved it then, one of Matt Darey's best. Thank you trance classics your a legend.
I miss when music was like this in the clubs
Me too...😢
awesome track featured on paul oakenfolds goa mix - which is probably the best trance mix in the known universe. just sayin ...
trixysvinyl music for djs it's also featured on his live at the creamfields mix compilation cd Which is a very good.😍👍🏻
I could not understand the tracks from Man With No Name, Martin Freeland, it sounds so underground and dark. Goa Trance is too much underground for me. On the other hand we can also enjoy the songs of Vangelis, and this is perfect for me :)
@@moogwai23 Nah, not dark and underground but alien and in hyperspace. Pack your bags, and get ready to be brain-tickled by self-transforming, fractal, machine elves. That's how it feels to me, anyway.
@@suelynnrussell9027 I love that cd so much! One of my all time favourite trance mixes! Both discs are amazing!! 👌👍🥰
So influential it was regularly played in the peak trance years of the late 90s.
1994 still towers over the stuff being made now. Way ahead of its time
YES INDEEDED BUD, PROBABLY THE PINNACLE OF THE TRANCE SCENE YEARS.. I WAS 19 IN 1994 😋😋😋😋✌️🌎❤️
Nicki Minaj towers over the stuff being made now.
A lot of trance artists have forgotten how effective arpeggios and trancegates are for giving that trippy space sound. Psytrance is the only genre that comes close, but it's bogged down with the same sound effects and percussion like that overused kick for the past twenty years.
This buries anything from today
It's like the Pyramids isn't it? The Egyptians are happy to claim they built them but their copies were utter shit in comparison. And we still can't duplicate some of the techniques used even today.
Makes me feel like I'm coming up in on the trance dance floor with my chosen family, party partners all in same mental state! True clubbing days, gone but not forgotten by the few
Mastertrack.....💣💣💣💣💣💣❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟
Recordando a radio virtual quien diera a conocer este track en México por allá de 1994! Saludos!! Desde Texcoco Estado de México
This is an such an amazing beautiful track .
This quality music never dies...
Takes you to a place that words can not describe.
Still on my gym playlist to this day. This tune was way ahead of its time in 1994
This takes me back to 1994 and well into the future
Thanks li kwan
2003. SE1 London, Darey dropped his 03 mix and the entire room fell silent, when those vocals kicked in the vibe in the room was something else! I was convinced it was gonna be number 1! 😂
The trance genre's Big Bang!
For people saying this doesn't sound like 1994, when this was out it was EVERYWHERE, you couldn't escape it. Even as a high school kid I had a bootleg tape w it. And it was used all over the country. It may classify as trance, but it was played by out west by breakbeat djs, midwest techno and house purists, Florida Break dj's, hard NYC techno dj's, from amateur to pro. The mid 90s were extremely egalitarian wrt genre.
(And, there were many other great tracks from 1994 no?)
thats super interesting, almost hard to believe
It was a different time.
this was a very special tune to me, it was that darker sound I was looking for pria to this being made, I was messing with tunes a long time way before this one, just doing my DJ thing at clubs etc, but gotta say this was the sound I wanted, then later on found out it was matt darey, ive never looked back since, one thing tho, another dj borrowed this tune off me and it never came back, never seen one since, bit gutted realy. big up to the matt for all his work he has done over the years ive been playing them
Anyone else think that at 12 minutes long, this record is just...too short 🤔🙄😂 I need an extended, extended version!
I mix the original mix + tiestos in search of sunrise mix with my vinyls
Great track !! Love everything Mr Darey creates!!
💞💞💞....amazingly beauty 💞💞💞 - one of my all time favourites 🙌🙌🙌
This is smoking
@@fgwilli76 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
You wouldn't believe the state of some of the kids that come in here,,,,there really spaced out,,,,,,,, awesome tune ,one for the history books indeed
Matt Darey (artist) said it was a sample taken from the original movie Woodstock, from a Nurse at the medic tents when she seen everyone 'high'
Cannot believe this was 94. Totally awesome way ahead of his time
All the best Trance came out between 94 - 96, Most of the Trance that has come out in the last 16 years is shite and doesn't deserve to be called Trance
I felt the same When I first heard the Wipeout soundtrack on a Playstation demo cd during playing. It was 1996. CoLD SToRAGE - Body In Motion . The screen was an ITT Nokia 80 cm television with two huge stereo speaker. I never heard CD quality music before. My mouth was openall time, the graphics, the sound...
This music comes directly from Galaxy 😍
This track is still totally awesome some 27 years after its creation! It’s so crazy how time flies! I can still remember dancing my butt off at a warehouse party to this very same track! The beginning of this track where there is that melodic hum sampled into this track is fantastic! I remember always thinking that this track would have been totally awesome if it had just stayed with that “unh-hun, ugh-hun, unh-hun” for the entirety of this track!
Goa-trance was simply just amazing back then where Oakenfold spun records under his Goa code name “The Man with No Name”. Yes he was a visionary, producing tracks that were literally next level at the time. He was so far ahead of his time generating insane music like Kwan-Li - Point Zero.
Oakenfold is not 'Man with no name', that's Martin Freeland. He was signed on Perfecto though. Oakey did remix a lot of MWNN stuff though, or am i missing something here? (A lot of Martin his 'early' work is on Concept In Dance album (Ian st. Paul) so there is a connection with all of the great ones.)
@@Asure007 Yep... Man With No Name is Martin Freeland. Not Oakenfold
Choon! The 90's were the era for exceptional music. This was one of those tracks...
🎶
Goosebumps bad....!
Proper trance....
I use to bang out reactivate waiting to be picked up to go to the County Club Dorset then on to some random free party..
Fuck me those were good times.
How I ever functioned I managed to get to work on a mad Monday morning.
Ahhh. Yes... 1994... The year I was born. This song is as legendary as me I see. Jk I wish I was as cool as this beat. Thanks Matt. Thanks Trance Classics.
Close your eyes and float away...
One of the greatest pieces of music ever created. The feelings this track stirs up are second to none ❤
Sounds fresh nearly 3 decades on, what does that tell you?!
That it is based on good music theory. Made by someone that knows what a good melody is. Not too complicated. If you do that then you have a good chance of creating a timeless piece.
@@NicolaiSyvertsen I think the most important part of it is just very good production techniques. Clean sound design. Like many Platipus releases have too.
Awesome!
Yeah I'm listening to this for the first time ever in 2020 and I couldn't believe this was from 1994. So good.
First track on the legendary Reactivate 10!
Someone else here knows their stuff:)
That's the best compilation in my opinion!
@@timyagan7414 Yep 10 was peak for me, theres a few others that are still really good but 10 had it all.
Reactivate 12 was the one for me...
But I have all of them and they all get played
The legendary compilation with the crab on cover. So many fantastic tunes.
Heard this back in '96/'97 with the Goa mix with Paul Oakenfold. Still listening to it on my car audio in 2022, and not even close to bored of it. Still makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck! A truly awesome classic track.
This is 1994!?! It sounds like a 1999 or early 2000s trance song. 😲
Matt Darey presents DSP - From Russia with love. 1999.
ya i was just thinking that exactly
Very progressive trance!
just found you channel, I'm never leaving this place :) 👏❤🎩
many trance tracks never age : KLF 1988-1991, Guru Josh - Infinity (1989), Age of Love 1990-1992, U96 - Das Boot 1992, FELIX - Don't You Want Me (1992), Quench - Dreams (1993), RMB - Universe of Love (1993), RMB - Redemption 1994, dance 2 trance - power of american natives 1993, Legend B "Lost In Love" (1994), Drax - Amphetamine (1994), Sunbeam - Outside World 1994, 2 CULTURE IN A ROOM - Android 1995 and so on
everything matt Darey touched turned to gold then. reminds me of house partys we used to have on a sundays decks on pals round an everybody on it !good upload took me back happy times thank you tunes like this stay with you 4eva !
Make my night🤠🔥💯👍🌅. Absolute pleasure of joy.
When trance actually sounded like trance. Sublime
Every time I listen to this track I keep having difficulties grasping that Matt produced this in the early 90s. Omg it´s so perfect! Thank you Matt "L`uomo Universale" Darey :)
Like I said before. This is the best of the best. My #1 Classic of all times. Done......
This sounds so ahead of its time. 1994 - it was released in 1994, it blows my mind I swear. Fantastic tune.
Yep me too!! Shocked when I seen it was 1994!!
Li Kwan is Matt Darey? 😳. Good to know. Awesome tune .It has a dark feel.
I did an interview with Matt Darey about this track last year, you should check it out ;-)
@@muzikxpress do you have a link to it? Or was it just in Muzik magazine? I haven't bought it in decades (sorry mate) and I don't think I can get that in Australia.
Ben Miles you can find it on my channel!
@Dj Luminol Seeing as Gamemaster was relased in 1999, I'd say Gamemasters melody is identical to that off Point Zero.
Not to get technical :P
@Dj Luminol Hey man, I didn't mean to be rude. Gamemaster is an all time great.
Stay safe
2020 here...still listening !! awesome track..!!
The very first Trance song! This track is amazing, love from Brazi.
It is amazing I agree, but not the first Trance song mate
@@TranceClassicsOfficialI believe it must not have been the first, but it certainly defined the style!
This was one of those tracks I fell in love with the first time I heard it back in the 90s 2000s I still listen to it to this day great memories I have of this magnificent tune i shared it with everyone I know makes me feel lost in music sensational bring it all back that’s an experience I think everyone should enjoy from mr Colin Corcoran high street royal mile Edinburgh 👍🏻🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻
Wooowww, no words to calificate this sublime song
Just can't stop listening to this..........
beautiful copy...mine is so smoked... thank you for sharing... Florida '94 was special
I love the into on this one and specially the arp part at 1:54, I could listen to that on loop for hours.

Happily dancing and loving these Vintage Trance Classics..... l was only 40 when this came out! My journey into the world of Trance continues........ 😂🙌🕺🙌🙂

Fkin hell - rockets primed for this !!! MD - absolute LEGEND !!!
Traccia storica......tempo d'oro ....classe 1975 sempre presente....
Excellent ! un grand "classic trance" .
Wonderful music!!! ❤️❤️❤️🔊🔊✨👽
I purchased a dj mix with 3 cd set called "Classic Euphoria: Level 2" like many dance music fans have done. 3rd track on the first disc appears this track only I thought that was the original when I listened @ the time. Apparently there is a list of multiple mixes that Matt Darey (Definitely an euphoric trance artist !) has done and this record that Trance Classics is playing here is the original from 1994. I believe it's the very first mix ! Now looking back to that DJ mix, correct me if I'm wrong. That one really sounds like the 2003 Mix.
Still sounds fresh in 2024. Belter
I have searched 1991-1994 intervall real trances. This track is brutal milestone near another 1994 style trance tracks !!!
Same goes to PVD - For An Angel, released the same year.
Can't believe this Matt Darey classic was originally a B side and is 30 years old! (Psy)trance at its best.
WOW what a masterpiece!
Love how intense this classic is
An absolute banger this one. It constantly delivers from beginning to end, such an incredible experience. Just totally ethereal.
Li kuan Point Zero una joya adoro esto es la música que quiero escuchar for ever 👄 de Uruguay 🙋 con amor
Timeless voice sampling and finish eternal lasting gem of a track
I absolutely love this fantastic track! Perfection in Classic Trance!!❤❤❤
I haven't listened to this since the goa mix.its still as fresh and relevant as it was back then. An immortal tune.
la Toscana che balla...🙋🙏❤
Torquemada Ricky Leroy la metteva spesso...
Insonnia Franchino❤
Gives you goosebumps beautiful tune
Lovely tune, forgot about this gem. Thanks for the upload, very dreamy at parts, would go great with a certain substance....
Think four people who are hard of hearing have pressed the 👎 button.....trance at it best....!🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊
Probably one of the best dance songs ever constructed.
Que dance😂😂 esto es trance no dance😅
Ахуенный трек я прямо тронут , обязательно скачаю в свою коллекцию .
Been to your side since 4 years and above, never regreted it. Thx for your high quality stuff!
Vinyl and 1210 in mint condition. I cannot describe how happy and angry this makes me feel simultaneously.
how the hell was this made 1994. The production quality ..wow
Bella melodía este ritmo me recuerda ala estación de radio alfa 91.3 y wfm 96.9 de aquí en México época de los 90s waooo q transmisiones esta melodía sonaba en esas estaciones waoo q recuerdos de los 90s
An incredible track !!!!🔝
To się nie starzeje. Nuta wymiata🔥
Amazing track, thank you trance classics
first time I hearing this was on Armin van Buuren - Essential Mix 09-02-2003 imo probably the best trance essential mix of all time! this track is the perfect song to end the best trance set of all time!
ive got 2 copies on "seka records", if your in the uk you can have a copy !!!!
