I had these links in a note in my phone. Don’t recall how good the links were, I think the first two were the best by far.

You may already have seen it but I wrote up a gear list from that Tilt interview https://gearspace.com/board/showpost.php?p=16388827&postcount=167
Did you ever come across the E-mu Emulator X software which lets you use old E-mu sample CDs in Windows? Clunky as anything but lots of classic 90s sounds there. E-MU EMULATOR X3 (86x/64x) : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive
I think some sounds come with it and you can get more off archive.org? Can’t remember the details but I can dig if you’re stuck. I managed to get it working on Mac through Wine too.
Also have you come across the huge archive of 90s sample CDs at index - powered by h5ai v0.30.0 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)? There’s a load on archive.org too
Did you ever make any trance/prog on the M8?
Nah, tbh I had a few weeks of great fun with the M8 (running on a handheld gaming thing) and haven’t touched it since! I’m my own worst enemy distracting myself with tech when I should just make music so I’m back on ableton (and currently focussing more on hypnotic techno)
I know that situation… I just received an M8 last week. Not had much time to play with it, but it seems great fun.
Yeah, really cleverly designed and fun device. My feeling was that it’s not ideal for more evolving styles of music like hypnotic trance/techno because of the way you do automation on it. You end up creating lots of almost duplicate patterns if you want interesting automation (of the sort you’d draw a curve for in a DAW) – you can do stuff with the REP command etc. but it’s a bit fiddly, so I think it’s better to embrace its limitations and stick to the styles it is naturally better suited to!
Challenge accepted 
The sound that comes in around the 1 minute mark - how to make?
Nice sounds from two of the artists on the lineup of the festival - attacked by hamas
Two of my favorite goa trance artists. I’m glad they’re ok. Terrible day for trance scene.
One more artists from the lineup, love this track:
The only trance track i made:
I can’t say I ever really got into trance. Some of it’s fine. Some of it is definitely not for me. Bird Peterson’s Drankenstein mixes sure did spend a lot of time in the rotation here when they first came out though.
This is quite cool, a Breeder remix competition. I thought they had totally disappeared!
Breeder did some amazing tracks, they do sound a little dated now with the big synth riffs etc. but still love them.
This is the new thing and i don’t like it sigh. Why can’t people leave these tracks alone 
I know i’m gate keeping in a sense, but yeah… yelling at clouds, get off my lawn.
Breeder - The Chain is one of my deserted island tracks 
If I were to guess your favourite gatecrasher CD, I’d go for Discotech Generation 
Some great tunes in this lot
I like to explore Bandcamp, I found this label a while back doing neo-classic techno trance:
Repulsive Force, including his other aliases, is one of the best modern Trance producers. Check out his other aliases, as well, like Oprofessionell and Changer.
Check out the label, UTE.REC. And also I recommend the artist, Alpha Tracks.
Finally, this is one of my favorite modern Trance releases:
