"Euphoric & uplifting Trance is back" with Cola & Lollipops and Anahata Love Recordings proclaims label owner Jim Carson & current artists Dean P as well as Anthony Nahas, releasing as much trance as they can humanly possibly create with infinite bursts of creativity, focus, vigor, and enthusiasm.
Some might say that trance never left but it has certainly been missing from many main room nightclubs and dancefloors since the popularity of house & techno took over the scene after the two genres started to become widely accepted in America (USA) at rock concerts and festivals like Lollapalooza and Coachella after hip hop and rap became less popular.
On Monday, August 10, 2026, Anahata Love Recordings and Cola & Lollipops had at least 5 major new releases in the Beatport Top 100 of Trance (Main Floor).
JIm Carson, Stattik, Lucidlolo, Anton Radke, and more make up a 79-track compilation making the rounds on Beatport Top 100 genres charts like Trance, Funky House, Electro, and Bass House.

Mixed and mastered by Jim Carson back in May 2026, Carson said he wanted to get a head start on the year and the summer by releasing Volume 1 before too much material was already gathered for volumes 2 and 3. Volume 3 from last year is still charting in multiple genre charts like DJ Tools/Acapellas, Electro (Detroit/Modern/Classic), Mainstage, Funky House, and Nu Disco after 9 months in a row and it just won't stop: https://www.beatport.com/release/the-best-of-2025-house-music-2025-vol-3-cola-loillipops/5650912
Get Dean P "Let Go" here on "Trance Utopia Sessions" in both single form and as part as a DJ mix that was mixed by Jim Carson in Thailand: https://www.beatport.com/release/trance-utopia-sessions/7264303
Inspired by the late 90s and early 2000s trance anthems and Ministry of Sound era compilations and mix series, Dean P and Jim Carson are on a roll with both original and nostalgia influened reworks and updates to old classics. "Just like house is a feeling. Trance is a feeling and a state of mind," says Carson, "Trance takes you to the next level and is a huge serotonon and dopamine booster. You don't need big Pharma and pills or meditation, you just need some really good trance music. Body, mind, & soul integration and therapy through sound - we have that on Cola & Lollipops and Anahata Love Recordings."
"I produced "Rave Again" and a tune called "Vegas Red Bull" around the same time because I was remembering how me and my friends would head to Las Vegas from Los Angeles or Santa Barbara, California, USA, on the weekends. We would drink red bull to stay up and dance all night and mix it with club soda and other mixers. It was really good!!!"
"House music - groovy and funky - as well as breakbeats were really big at the time and we definitely danced to that but as the night went on we needed something to keep us awake and keep dancing and DJs like Christopher Lawrence, Doran, Sandra Collins, and Thomas Michael provided that trance buzz. Also, Beej from Club Rubber and Pimp N' Ho, but also Micro from New York and whatever DJs from the East Coast were coming in for the weekend in both SoCal and Las Vegas. One-time, I saw DJ Gonzo and he just ripped it. Pure, hardcore-trance-energy."
"Mars and Mystre were always great," and "Donald Glaude was just in between the edge of progressive house and trance and breaks and I really gravitated to his style as well because he spun it all! That is how I kind of spin music - multiple-genres and super-funky. Him and DJ Dan (rest in peace) were always such a pleasure to see spin live."
Most of these tunes charting right now are on Anahata Love Recordings - the mothership label of Cola & Lollipops - founded in 2017 which is making a comeback this year!!!
