Our roving Hello Trance Reporter,

Has reviewed the recent Trance Sanctuary presents Kearnage event held on,
Saturday 11th November 2023 at Ministry Of Sound, London.
I recently had the pleasure of attending the annual Trance Sanctuary event featuring the legendary Bryan Kearney alongside Cold Blue, David Forbes, and Allen Watts. The night unfolded at a venue that seemed almost tailor-made for a trance gathering, creating an atmosphere that was nothing short of magical.

Bryan Kearney, the headliner, delivered a set that showcased his mastery of the craft. His seamless transitions and impeccable track selection took the audience on a sonic journey, blending euphoria with raw energy. The dance floor pulsated with the beats, and Kearney’s connection with the crowd was palpable. It was a testament to his status as a trance icon.

Cold Blue, David Forbes, Allen Watts (& every DJ in all rooms), each brought their unique flavour to the mix, contributing to a diverse sonic landscape that kept the energy levels high throughout the night. From melodic masterpieces to driving beats, the lineup catered to the varied tastes of the trance faithful.

The venue’s acoustics were a dream for trance enthusiasts, allowing every note and bassline to reverberate through the crowd. For a day rave to sell out weeks in advance, the result was excellent throughout for all who made it.

A special mention must go to the UK Trance Society, who hosted the Baby Box with a stellar lineup that catered to all in the Trance scene.
The baby box was rammed from the get-go and added an extra layer of community and camaraderie to the event. The passion and dedication of the society members were evident, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for trance enthusiasts from all walks of life. It’s clear that the UK Trance Society plays a vital role in fostering a vibrant trance community.
