About Pure Trance Sessions

Pure Trance Sessions started out in 2009 with d'Baschti and DJ Niels de Ruyter.
The first Episode was actually a demo mix produced by Niels, followed by Episode 002 (September 2009) - the first set mixed by both DJs. In the beginning the mixes contained tracks of harder styles and house.

A change was made when Thomas Westerman and Tom Oostink took over mixing Pure Trance Sessions. Starting with Episode 008 (March 2010) the mixes contained epic, uplifting and progressive trance tracks. This led to the start of Pure Trance Sessions website with a massive 2 hour Episode 010, and a new direction to bring the mixes to a wider audience. Each month the episodes contained a Classic of the Month track but after Episode 016 Tom and Thomas said goodbye to this concept, as they wanted to use already limited time for more up-to-date trance tracks. Their sets included also Track of the Month which was carefully selected by both and it's still an important part of their current episodes.

Pure Trance Sessions had its first radio station broadcast at the end of 2011, on Bollywood Radio & Beyond kicking off with Episode 029. In Febuary 2012 the challenge came up to start with weekly show's by a turn based DJ team. This was realized by Westerman & Oostink, Suzy Solar, Miss Phoenix and UrsulaN, kicking off in July. In 2013 the show reached the 100th episode which intoduced a new DJ to the team as Miss Phoenix had to resign from the team. The next year the 150th episode was celebrated with a full broadcast show recorded at a radiostation studio with a presentation by Tom and Thomas and interviews with Laura, Suzy and Ursula0. The urge to have a live event in these years resulted in Pure Trance Sessions 200 LIVE! in 2015. This celebration was live broadcasted and also streamed on Youtube from a Club nearby Zwolle. At the end of this year Ursula had to resign from her DJ activities and in Januari 2016 Faith Mark was introduced as the new member of the DJ team.
October 2016 Pure Trance Sessions had another milestone: A 16 hour live broadcast at the Amsterdam Dance Event as Playground event. Many guest DJ's where invited to the studios of Salto Amsterdam: Radion6, Sied van Riel, Misja Helsloot, Rhun, Angelique, Carolin, Kristy Jay, Marc den Heijer, Ruben Verhagen, Steeff, Still Standing Strong and the resident DJ's.
August 2017 the 300th episode was reached and this was celebrated with a 3 hour live broadcast at the studios of Salto Amsterdam with special guest Mike Spinner. With the 300th Episode a new member of the DJ team was introduced: Carolin, who replaced Faith Mark.

Westerman & Oostink Thomas Westerman and Tom Oostink are two cousins from Amsterdam and Zwolle (NL), with a passion for trance music! Thomas started DJ'ing as a hobby.

Standing with a big smile behind the turntables he likes to take the audience on a journey through trance music. Toms passion for a wide variety of music inspired him to launch his own small company with a friend of his. Together they have been doing drive-in shows since the late 90s, bringing people the joy of music. Tom and Thomas began to produce in 2009, after doing some technical and DJ support work during some local music events. After a successful cooperation they decided to start mixing trance music together and this resulted into hosting monthly episodes of Pure Trance Sessions at puretrancesessions dot com. Thanks to their energetic and euphoric style they got a lot of attention which led to some DJ bookings at Mystery of Dreams in the The Escape Venue, Amsterdam and De Marke, Hattem. In 2012 they were invited to play during the massive Dutch Queensday with a pride event that took place at the Amsterdam Canals. They closed down 2012 with an energetic set on a Serious Request event which was held in De Corner in Kampen. During the years they provided numerous guestmixes to radiostations like Slam FM and Trance Energy Radio and radioshows like Global Juice and Weekend On Air. In 2015 they did a couple of live features at Weekend On Air on RTV Hattem and they returned to De Corner in Kampen for a Trance and Dance event called Brightcorner. Turning to the south of the Netherlands they were invited to M2 in Eindhoven to play some sets at this club which was a result of a gig at the Einhoven Goes Ibiza festival.
