After 19 incredible years, we have decided that the time has come to bring Discover Trance to a close.

It's been an emotional ride.

Discover Trance has always been so much more than a place to listen to great music. It's been a place where lifelong friendships were forged, romances blossomed (and indeed, a few marriages!), and where people could escape the noise of everyday life, even if only for a few hours.

I myself met my incredible wife, Katy, through this very station. To this day, she remains my soulmate, my closest friend and my greatest source of inspiration. If Discover Trance had achieved nothing else in its 19 years, for me, that alone would have made every moment worthwhile.

Along the way, we've also had to say goodbye to some truly wonderful people. Matt Trigle and Biggi (DJ Female@Work) both sadly passed away. Even in the face of adversity, they continued to create their shows, sharing the music they loved until they no longer could. They will always hold a special place in our hearts, and I know they will never be forgotten by the people whose lives they touched.

To our station DJs and contributors, past and present, thank you for your hard work, dedication and professionalism. You've been the heartbeat of Discover Trance, and none of this would have been possible without you.

I also want to give a special thank you to Rich (dfx). He's been invaluable to Discover Trance since day one, coding, supporting DJs and generally keeping the ship sailing straight, even when I did my best to crash it!

And finally, to our dedicated listeners and supporters. For 19 years, you've shown up with a spring in your step, a love for the music and plenty of LOLs in the chat room. You guys and girls are awesome, and you've made this journey something truly special.

Discover Trance will cease broadcasting on 1st December 2026. The website will also become unavailable from that date, so please take the opportunity to save anything you would like to keep.

Nineteen years of music, memories, friendships and love.

What a ride it's been.

Thank you for being part of it.

Dave Deen — Signing out.
