Live from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Yasmin DJs Trance & Hardcore

When a Coolio acapella suddenly rips over a thunderous 170 BPM kick drum, you know you’re in the hands of a selector who values chaos as highly as harmony. Yasmin’s Live from Ho Chi Minh City set for Keep Hush Live x VAPCUCDA is a glorious, unapologetic tribute to trance and hardcore, the kind where sentimentality and sheer velocity exist in perfect, ridiculous balance. The vibe is pure euphoric abandon, a packed room in Vietnam bouncing as one to pianos and breakbeats under swirling lights. Technically, this is a high-speed chase averaging 170 BPM, leveraging the uplifting power of the 12A key while using 5A and 10B to introduce tougher, more driving harmonic textures.

The energy balance is unique, with a near-even split between lows at 40.21% and mids at 42.15%, allowing for those massive, chest-filling synth chords, while highs at 17.54% keep the breakbeats crisp and frantic. Mixing is bold and energetic, often using quick cuts and dramatic drops to maintain intensity, perfectly suited for the hardcore and trance fusion that demands constant engagement. This is a tracklist built for peak-time, hands-in-the-air moments. The crate is a treasure trove of anthems and oddities: F3LY’s 'Titanium Woops' opens with its modern, trance-inflected bounce.

Coolio & L.V.’s 'Gangsta's Paradise' gets the inevitable, goosebump-inducing edit treatment. Sub Focus & Metrik’s 'Trip' represents the drum & bass crossover, while Justin React’s 'Thunderdome' and Doctor Bones’ 'To the Stars' deliver pure, unadulterated hardcore rush. The inclusion of Sinan Sakić’s 'Ej, od kad sam se rodio' is a wonderfully bizarre left turn. The journey kicks off with the futuristic pulse of 'Titanium Woops', peaks in the nostalgic mash-up of 'Gangsta's Paradise' over pounding beats, and crashes to a close with the Amen break frenzy of Yung Crazy Penis’s 'Amen Break', a full trance and hardcore tracklist that never slows down.
