New Trance Tracks | 12 October 2009

Stuart — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 23:12:34 +0000

Hope you are all enjoying the first day of the week (at time of writing Haha!). Very much a busy week for lots of producers on Twitter tweeting they are getting their heads down in the studio, and we all like the sound of that as it means more of the following tracks listed below.

This week I’m inviting you all to make a comment and in return I will let you pick a new release and write a few sentences about it to be featured on the site next week. Get your thinking caps on as to what has not been already placed on here in the past week, or a track you know is going to be released in the next 7 days.
So go simply make a comment at the bottom and then on the contact page send me your short review including the track details (Artist, Title, Mix and Label) and a link to the track or where it is going to be released

Vengeance – Dawn Of The Uprising (Lehm & Gras Remix)
A State of Trance
DJdownload.com link

This weeks first track has been brought to my attention by TrackItDown.net having a later release date than DJdownload.com (but I’ve loaded it up in their player anyway above). A nice driving number and I love the trademark trance claps and rolling bassline throughout the Lehm & Gras Remix.

Ron van den Beuken – Euphoria (Club Mix)
RR Recordings
DJdownload.com link

The Club Mix is a mighty fine trancer for the hands in the air folk who like to up the tempo! I’ve also added in the player the Dub Mix that is some what progressive with a nice groovy swing.

Tom Colontonio – Lifetime Connection (John O’Callaghan Remix)
Liquid Recordings
DJdownload.com link

JoC action on the remix…nice! If you have been begging for some of his techier side that has been missing due to releases like Never Fade Away then you’re in for an Irish treat.

Hodel – Last Wish (Andy Tau Remix)
Perceptive Recordings
DJdownload.com link

Nice BIG uplifting trance music here…loving the whole lot but Andy Tau is the one in the bag for me!

Leigh Brooks & Fabio Stein – Razor Edge (Original Mix)
Couture
DJdownload.com link

Leigh Brooks hooks up the fabulous Fabio Stein and drop a bomb off a track on the label of the moment when it comes to tech-trance. Big sounds all round from the bass kick to riff that kicks in and carries on through the break. Perfect speaker damage!

Organ Donors – 99.9 (Scot Project’s Under The Kniife Remix)
Nukleuz
DJdownload.com link
I know the likes of many people will pick the Mark Sherry & James Allan Remix, but to me Scot project is the daddy of hard trance sounds! Take your pick of either but the Scot Project mix flicks my switch with the massive kick and subtle breakdown that slowly but surely builds back into a hard as nails track – not for the faint hearted trance fan

Wade Bennet – Amber (Beta Blokka Remix)
Spaced Out Recordings
DJdownload.com link
Taking it down a notch (or three) is Wade Bennet’s Amber. I really must do a better job at keeping up to date with Spaced Out Recordings releases, they always surprise me with their melodies and quality of productions.

Lange feat. Tracey Carmen – Happiness Happening (Lange 2009 Mix)
Lange Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
We all know this one surely?? All join in when your ready… “Everything will be perfect, tonight and forever!” Spruced up by Lange for 2009, this classic vocal breaths again!

Dave and Oliver – Fascinante
Only One Records
TrackItDown.net link
Only One Records pushing more fine uplifting trance out of their stable door…love the guitar work and floating synth work in the background.
The other release Magic Garden that goes with this is completely weird, I really do hope they concentrate on the finer releases such as this as they really could go far making this stuff the staple sound of their label.

Cosmic Gate feat. Aruna – Under Your Spell (Duderstadt Remix)
Black Hole Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
Taking it down to something progressive at the end… I could of picked the Myon and Shane 54 Monster Mix, but to be honest, as much as it is a good track it is nothing new from them and this remix does the track more justice in my opinion Let me know if your view is different down below of course!

If you are still here and reading this, then well done on sticking with me! Do remember to leave a comment and then fire me a message through the contact page of what you would like featured remembering what I said to include at the start of the post

List of 10 New Trance Tracks 04-08-09

Stuart — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:00:23 +0000

This week sees many quality trance tracks from some awesome producers! As always I take ten that were recently released and I hope you enjoy listening to them.

As an added bonus I’m now adding the NeedleDrop player for tracks featured on DJDOWNLOAD.COM, I really love being able to listen to the whole tune before purchasing when I visit their site. Please feel free to listen to the tracks as you read through the post…

Woody van Eyden – B.O.B. (Extended Mix)
Liquid Recordings
DJdownload.com link

A driving groove makes way for hands in the air synths, which in then in turn makes way fora dirty bassline when it kicks back in! Woody van Eyden showing why he is much loved in the trance scene and I say is unfairly under-rated in the UK.

W&W – Mainstage (Original Mix)
Captivating Sounds
DJdownload.com link

One of those tracks that just grows and grows all the way to the breakdown and then after the break carries the lovely trance sound straight through till the end. They don’t make many as captivating as these anymore, excuse the pun!

TyDi & Dennis Sheperd feat. Marcie – Somehow (Original Mix)
S107 Records
DJdownload.com link

Marcie’s vocals grace yet another track for the new trance tracks featured on iLove Trance Music… I can’t get enough of her vocals right now and as with many vocalists, their work seems to come thick and fast from all labels like a runaway train once they break through.

Tritonal feat. Cristina Soto – Crash Into Reason (DJ Eco Remix)
Coldharbour Recordings
DJdownload.com link

Another great vocal track, this time from the great Coldharbour Recordings that took over Afterhours.fm last Tuesday. DJ Eco does a fine job on the remix duties making this one vocal trance track to not miss.

Skytech – Cardboard Box (Original Mix)
Armada
DJdownload.com link

There are not many that come along like this that sound so refined and exquisite, go look that word up if need be as it really speaks volumes of this track. Skytech really have a sound all of their own shown with the releases so far; Floating Clouds and Neon Warrior.

Sintec – Twist (Erik Kay Remix)
Couture
DJdownload.com link
Couture really is a driving force at the front of hard tech-trance right now in my opinion. This mix from Erik Kay has a slight twist to the lead and most certainly has its kicking boots on for show time!

Cliff Coenraad – Distorted Reality (Original Mix)
High Contrast Recordings
DJdownload.com link
Lovely depth and progression in this track makes it a fav of mine right now. The breakdown totally changes how the track feels after all the swing and groove leading to it. Reshizzled Mix is also worth checking out for preference

Van Der Vleuten – Find My Way (Michael de Kooker Remix)
Cloud 9 Dance
DJdownload.com link
Recently re-released on Cloud 9 Dance this progressive uplifting trance track slips and slides through summer sounds nicely.

Thomas Bronzwaer – Look Ahead (Original Mix)
A State of Trance
DJdownload.com link
Along with the likes of Sean Tyas, Thomas Bronzwaer has certainly made his mark on the scene in recent years and Look Ahead is just another full on trance track that has to sit in your collection if you like that sound.

Ronski Speed feat. Rex Mundi Vs. Sir Adrian – The Perspective Space (Markus Schulz Mash Up)
Armada
DJdownload.com link
Caned by everyone under the sun this Markus Schulz mash-up finally gets released! Top trance track to end my list of 10.

But it hasn’t ended there I hear you say? Well depending how far the player has played by the time you reach here. In the player at the top I added a few extras in for your listening pleasure, such as the selection of remixes of Rank 1 – Symfo. I hope you enjoy the few extra tracks as much as I do!

New Trance Tracks 13-07-09

Stuart — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:19:50 +0000

As always there are plenty of producers busy in the studio which means picking ten more excellent new trance releases…

This week I found there was an overdose of uplifting and euphoric tracks out there, if there could be such a thing. So many great tunes! Even one of my friends commented over the weekend on how many there are at the moment. What are your thoughts on the trance scene currently? Please leave a comment at the bottom of the list!

Jordan Suckley – Flames (Original Mix)
Goodgreef Digital
beatport.com link

Rising star Jordan Suckley plonks this new track of his directly onto Goodgreef’s label being rebooted for 2009. Support from Eddie Halliwell on this fantastic track!

Suncatcher – Good Morning (Original Mix)
Ask4 Records
beatport.com link

This uplifting euphoric tune comes recommended from Trance_Cat on Twitter. You’ll be seeing a lot more of his influence on the site with his Epitome Of Sound Sessions podcast being shortly featured exclusively on the blog.

Will Atkinson – Pacific Moment (Original Mix)
CGI Records
beatport.com link

More beautiful melodies from one of my favs at the moment. Be it Will Atkinson or CGI Records, I’m really impressed with the output from both mediums right now with driving melodies and techy sounds.

DJ Eco – Questionmark (Sebastian Brandt Remix)
Tone Diary
TrackItDown.net link

Another sturdy release from Tone Diary that cranks it out. Check out the Original Mix for something a little more laid back.

3rd Moon – Monsun (Original Mix)
A State Of Trance
TrackItDown.net link

Another big player finally gets released with one half of this outfit being Krzysztof Pretkiewicz from Nitrous Oxide. Peak time hands in the air stuff whilst wearing a stupid grin, love it!

Tom Colontonio – Walk Through Berlin (Original Mix)
Monster Tunes
TrackItDown.net link
Walk Through Berlin trumps Tom Colontonio’s other release Sparkover (that also features a remix by Syan Tyas) by just a whisker I can reassure you. Great releases this week from this awesome USA DJ and producer, I recommend buying them all Haha!

FJ Project – Tech Rise (Original Mix)
Acid Records
TrackItDown.net link
Excellent tech-trance damage! Highly recommended listening and be sure to check out Bring The Noise for an even more techy affair that would possibly fit into your more techno or electro influenced sets amoungst you.

Siwah – Veni Vidi Vici
Sunset to Sunrise Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
Nice string arrangement in the breakdown caught my attention before it kicks in to a driving euphoric riff. This label showcases “young talented producers” from their bio on TrackItDown.net. So who knows where we’ll see producers like Siwah cropping up next?

Lando & Zekyel Vs Angel Ace – Amethyst (DJ Firefox Remix)
Only One Records
TrackItDown.net link
A gem of a track I must say… Never heard of the label or artists involved but it sure shows how beautiful a trance breakdown and lead is!

Misha Kitone – Yellow Car
Drizzly Records
TrackItDown.net link
So many good uplifting releases this week. This progressive number just nicely builds and builds for your journey be it in a yellow car, train or in a trance.

Top 5 New Trance Tracks 20-04-09

Stuart — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:27:01 +0000

Ok it’s a day late but here is my Top 5 New Trance Tracks for the 20th April!

I hope you all had a wonderful time listening to what you could of A State of Trance over the weekend. It was without a doubt amazing to hear of 11,000 plus people from across the globe tuning in via the video stream and multiple audio streams. Without a doubt Armin van Buuren has sent a benchmark that will be hard to beat. Was nice to connect with lots of you on Twitter too through the hashtag #asot400

Anyway, back on topic…

Cartouche – Bitter Sweet (Extended Mix)
RR Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

As the title suggests, yes it is a mix of the Verve’s – Bitter Sweet Symphony. No vocals but the sweeping strings are all over it. I maybe a little early shouting out this one as there is only the Extended Mix available which I think has the potential for better things, though I still think it is a lovely take that will raise a cheer from the dance floor.

Oen Bearen – Ajoyable (Original Mix)
Stampgevaar Digital
DJdownload.com link

I don’t hear many tracks who treat their breakdowns and what they involve after with the care and attention as they once use to. I’m loving the subtle sound of this one and the way Oen Bearen carrys it through when it kicks back in, rather than inducing us with electro inspired basslines that is all the trend lately (E.g. Simon Patterson – Bulldozer).

Push – Universal Nation (Guy Mearns Remix)
Progrez
DJdownload.com link

Another nice progressive number with remix duties by Guy Mearns getting a release on Progrez, after being featured on Bonzai’s labels twice already! A nice change from his tougher numbers on Lee Haslam’s Digital Remedy Recordings, and really shows he can diversify his sound.

Mandy Lou – Madystic (Original Mix)
Sphere Traxxx
TrackItDown.net

This has been out for a while but I have only just picked up on it. I’m loving the interesting arrangement, it is an intelligent tech-trance affair not for the faint hearted! I can see why DJ Choose has put this one in his box.

Night Liberator – Artificial Pervasion (Charlie G & Vandall Remix)
CGI Records
TrackItDown.net link

More awesome tech-trance with one massive breakdown. With support from Judge Jules (featuring on his Radio 1 show) and played out by the likes of Yoji (Night Liberator added to HellHouse Recordings too!) and Scot Project, hell even Ferry Corsten is all over it! It is one for the shopping cart tech-trance lovers!!

That’s it for this week, sorry it was a day late readers!
