List of 10 New Trance Tracks 25-08-09

Stuart — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 21:12:21 +0000

Hope you are enjoying a summer full of trance! With John O’Callaghan getting commercial airplay in Europe and Chicane getting a UK Top 10 could we just be seeing the stirrings of trance becoming mainstream once again? Here’s hoping!

This week sees more tracks from your favourite artists and labels and of course I hope you hear something you hadn’t heard before and quite like.

BRM – Time To Reflect (Original Mix)
SAME Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

Steve Anderson’s label picks up this corker from BRM, namely Chris Breame who is one half of their A/B Project. Some of you may of heard our very own DJ-Code Y (Reinout de Vlaming) introducing the Breames Dark Reflection Mix on SAME Radio Show 035 recently.

Atmotion – Taken Away
Only One Records
TrackItDown.net link

Only One Records release another pure uplifting trance track for a hands in the air experience! If you didn’t see it before then head over to the previous Trance Tuesday post highlighting this label.

A.w.e.r.S. – Out of Limits (Original Mix)
Sunset to Sunrise Recordings
DJdownload.com link

Been a while since I caught up with this pretty impressive progressive trance label. Lovely mellow track to get either the crowd warmed up, or simply kick back and relax in the garden to it. A track for all occasions.

DannyNergy – Crunch (Original Mix)
U-NEQ Productions
TrackItDown.net link

A dirty hook and the structure and combination of sounds make this tech-trancer refreshing to hear. Think I’ll have to keep an eye out in future for this artist and label.

Cold Blue – Mount Everest (Dennis Sheperd Remix)
Anjunabeats
DJdownload.com link

MASSIVE TUNE ALERT!! ‘Nuff said surely? Cold Blue’s Original Mix or Dennis Sheperd’s Remix, I don’t care as they are both superb examples of uplifting trance music at its best!

Mac and Monday – Touching The Sound (Original Mix)
Dedicated
DJdownload.com link
Dedicated release a host of tracks but this one gets my pic with its beautiful melodies.

Randy Katana – Back In Time (Original Mix)
Doorn
DJdownload.com link
Tough choice between this track and Randy’s other release called You & I. The later sounds a little obscure and is not trance in every sense in the word, still, great stuff though. Back In Time is typical big sound Randy Katana as I love so much.

Activa Vs. Chris & Matt Kidd – U.R. (Stoneface & Terminal Remix)
Discover
DJdownload.com link
As always Discover release nothing but top class trance tunage and Stoneface & Terminal follow suit with their remix. A driving melody with a great uplifting riff makes this a fav with all the big DJs currently.

Rex Mundi feat. Susana – Nothing At All (Beat Service Juicy Remix)
Coldharbour Recordings
DJdownload.com link
Do I use the term beautiful often? No? Well this track is just bootiful! It has everything you can possibly want from an uplifting vocal trance track. Of course for the vocal fans out there you may recognise Susana’s voice from the infamous Dark Side of The Moon and Shivers.

Corderoy – Kyrie (U4IC DJ’s Remix)
Mondo Records
DJdownload.com link
A real anthemic number turns into a tough number with the U4IC DJs taking it down a trippy route that has some elements of psy-trance to it with its driving offbeat sounds. The choir vocal is held finely though for an awesome breakdown.

As an added something if you do play the player I have thrown in Roger Shah’s To The Sky for your listening pleasure. Hope you have enjoyed this weeks list!

List of 10 New Trance Tracks 21-07-09

Stuart — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:55:14 +0000

At the time of writing this I’m still listening to a whole bunch of tracks so I think this will be a rollarcoaster of chopping and changing what will be this weeks 10 tracks!

I know for sure there are a few tunes that are of the uplifting nature this time round, and if you like the more uplifting stuff then be sure to check my Trance Tuesday post featuring what I think is a fantastic label with many of their tracks now on my wish list.

Kryztow De Fier – Overdrive
Kubik Records
TrackItDown.net link

First up is a techy affair from Kubik’s owner Kryztow De Fier, a Liverpool based label that is doing the UK proud!

Mecha L-Yen Vs. Ben Nicky – Flux The Catapult (Ben Nicky Tech Mashup)
Abstract Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

OMG! One very fat (or phatt for the cool kids on the block Haha!) bassline drops in after a superb breakdown. Ben Nicky and Abstract Recordings are on fire, there is no stopping the boy now with release after release causing carnage and yet another label in the UK flying the flag!

Paul Webster – The Wolf (Original Mix)
Captivating Sounds
TrackItDown.net link

An awesome new release that has everything you could want for that peak time tune. I strongly suggest this track, I’m loving it!

DJ Schultz and Elad Efrati – Evermore (Original Mix)
2 Play Records
TrackItDown.net link

Lovely melody throughout means another winner from 2 Play Records. Nice lead with simple piano keys thrown in.

RAM – Call It A Night (Original Mix)
Reset Records (NL)
TrackItDown.net link

More uplifting euphoria with the tech-trance sound! You know by now that Reset put out good solid productions from big names and this release from RAM is no different.

Airbase featuring Floria Ambra – Wonders
In Trance We Trust
TrackItDown.net link
A great combination of vocals with progressive trance, I could really get lost in this track on a sunny day. It is a shame the British summer weather is proving to be…well, British.

Nitrous Oxide – Aurora (Sunny Lax Remix)
Anjunabeats
TrackItDown.net link
Of course Above & Beyond love Nitrous Oxide and we do too. Well I know I do and so many others and with beautiful tracks like these, who can blame us? Sunny Lax remix is simply gold though!

Fleeticer – Artic Dawn
Only One Records
TrackItDown.net link
Only One Records caught my attention recently and will be this weeks Trance Tuesday post. I love pretty much most of what I have heard and this recent addition is no different, check out anything and everything for some great uplifting tracks from some big players in the scene.

Steve Birch feat. Marcie – Deck Chair (Original Mix)
Spaced Out Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
An awesome bunch of releases from Steve Birch this week, but the lovely vocals pf Marcie being woven into this particular release mean this one being featured.

ATB presents Flanders – Behind (Taylor & Gallahan Remix)
Kontor Records
TrackItDown.net link
A fantastic track gets remix duties that pushes it into a dirty electro filth induced noise with the vocals remaining intact. I see this one going down a treat with the dance floor!

New Trance Tracks 18-05-09

Stuart — Mon, 18 May 2009 21:35:41 +0000

Just like last week I’m really struggling to resist adding more than 5 new tracks, and this week you will be glad to know I have failed! So here are 10 New Trance Tracks that I think you’ll more than like!

The list below is just a small selection of the many great tunes floating around at the moment, but first I’ll start with a progressive tune that I heard played from a DJ’s laptop not so long ago at a house party. It is by no means a new track having being released last year, but I really, really, really do love this track. It is unusual for me to like a progressive tune as much as I do this one, I think the last time I bought a true progressive tune it may have been Holden & Thompson’s ‘Nothing’ to put it in perspective.

So, this maybe a list of New Trance Tracks I try and gather each week, but along the way I may include something that is new to me and old to you. Hopefully it will serve as a reminder of a great track, enjoy!
Also I notice some of the sites I visit release the same track at different times, so I’m sorry if there is confusion if you have seen a release elsewhere earlier. I’m working very hard on getting official release dates from labels and artists directly to avoid this in future.

Mango – Every Sunrise (Original Mix)
Mango Alley Recordings
beatport.com link

I’ve been winding a few of my followers up on Twitter about loving this track, well here it is! It has that perfect summertime feel to it and with the sun shining again I bet this really set the tone last summer for those who heard it – lucky people I say! I know I will be playing it this summer due to its uplifting and euphoric nature.
Thanks to new friend Sydmey for introducing this track into my life! You’ll find the full length track embedded from YouTube on the home page too.

Gareth Emery – Metropolis (Original Mix)
Garuda
TrackItDown.net link

Gareth’s second release ‘Metropolis’, on his new label Garuda, is just as keen as ‘Exposure’ to show why so many people are believing him to be one of the leading figures of trance for the future. Another top notch track!

Maelstrom – Remember Your Inputs (Original Mix)
Iboga Records
DJdownload link

Another progressive tune for you, somewhat deeper and darker here with a lovely rhythm to it. I love the use of percussion and the vocal which really brings the track to a new level. I have never come across this label before even though it has been in existence for many years. I recommend checking out their other releases that are really something different from the norm.
TrackItDown.net as it happens featured this label in a mail out today and count most of its work as house, nice cross over stuff if you ask me though.

Michal Poliak – Carpathia
WA-X Records
TrackItDown.net

Many tracks are doing a fabulous job at infusing tech-trance sounds and feeling to a progressive attitude right now and this is one of them. There are many producers from further east doing a great job representing trance to the world and I must say I’m loving their sound. I’ll be looking at for further releases from Michal Poliak and those of WA-X records, which happens to be a label from CGI Records.

Taylor & Close – Vanity Fair (Neal Thomas Remix)
Abstract Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

The Neal thomas Remix is a TrackItDown.net exclusive and does the business really well, but any one of the other mixes are worthy for your collection I’d say. Abstract Recordings owner Ben Nicky was suggested as my Trance Tuesday a few weeks back, if you didn’t get to grab his mix, then go do so now: Link

Frog & Bugle feat. LeeMac – Seven Days To Eden (East & Young Remix)
RR Recordings
beatport.com link
A nice use of Robert Mile’s ‘Seven Days and One Week’. Another one of those tracks that will get a good reaction from making use of a classic and if you remember I featured RR Recordings previously with Cartouche’s ‘Bitter Sweet’ track. Good stuff coming from this label that is brushing close to commercial but doesn’t quite cross the line to turn me off.

Marcel Woods – Inside Me (Original Mix)
High Contrast Recordings
beatport.com link
I do like a bit of Marcel Woods for his ear piercing synth use and here it as if he has ripped Marco V’s ‘Unprepared’ and made it his own. Suits me fine!

Richard Durand – Always The Sun (Roger Shah Remix)
Magik Muzik
DJdownload.com link
Was disappointed to hear Richard Durand going down the big uplifting vocal route until I heard the Roger Shah Remix. I hope this is not an ongoing trend for producers who have done well doing the tech-trance sound with vocals; John O’Callaghan being another example after his album featuring a load of vocalists and no hard hitting sound in my opinion.

Pascal Feliz – Smack My 2 Core Up
Musical Madness
TrackItDown.net link
An epic breakdown soon makes room for a monster riff that gets the feet moving. Highly recommended listening!

Sunny Lax – Reborn (Original Mix)
Anjunabeats
DJdownload.com link
Lush track that you have heard many a time no doubt, and will hear again and again now everyone can get their hands on it. The remix by Nitrous Oxide ups the pace nicely if you find the original too laid back.

That is the 10 for this week!

Hope you get to enjoy some of them. I’d better start looking for new tracks straight away if I’m to do 10 next week :S Haha!

As a thank you to all my readers I got a freebie sourced for you.
Last week Dave Dresden threw up the following link for all to download on Twitter. I asked him if I could feature it here which he gladly said yes to. It is a remix of Calvin Harris’s I’m Not Alone.

YouSendIt.com Link

You can follow Dave Dresden on Twitter here.

Thank you to all the readers once again and I’ll look forward to writing up tomorrow’s Trance Tuesday now.

Love or hate any of the above tracks please discuss below by leaving comments

Cheers

Stuart

P.S. Look out for the Facebook fanpage coming this week. Is there anywhere else I should be covering to spread the word? Make suggestions below cheers!

Digital Foundation Radio Show feat. Paul Webster, Myon & Shane54 & more!

Stuart — Fri, 08 May 2009 12:54:02 +0000

As radio shows go Digital Foundation is still in its infancy, and with this only being its 3rd episode to be broadcast on Saturday 9th May on sense.fm host Stevie Carnie has put together a show full of exclusive guest mixes from some of the hottest producers about.

Episode 003 features guest mixes coming from trance heavy weights Paul Webster (Armada), Myon & Shane54 (Anjunabeats/Armada) and tech trance/techno rising star Reaky (Yin Yang). To top off the show is the talents of young Scottish producer and DJ – D:folt (also signed to Armada) and 18 yr old Irish newcomer Ciaran Fox, who has recently had his first solo release ‘Slip’ signed to Claudia Cazacu’s Couture label.
All this knitted together by Stevie’s own top tracks of the month and a well known Classic.

Paul Webster (Armada)

Paul Webster is man who knows exactly how to make a dance floor explode, with his productions causing havoc all across the world and being dropped by the likes of Simon Patterson, Fred Baker and Judge Jules. He is the next in line to take over the world from that small island in the Atlantic that seems to produce only the finest music.

Myon & Shane54 (Anjunabeats)

From Armin to Above & Beyond this young pairing have conquered the world with there awesome original productions, remixes and bootlegs – whatever they touch turns to gold. Playing at the sold out A State of Trance 400 event in Germany showed that it’s not only producing this pair can do, the world is theirs for the taking.

D:folt (Armada)

Over the last year, this young mans status as a future star has been cemented. From his track ‘I Come Running’ being remixed by Tydi and used by him to open his set at this years Trance Energy festival, or being given the opportunity by Armada to remix one of the best tunes of the year David Forbes’s ‘Because of You’.
If it is vocal trance you like, D:folt is your man.

Reaky (Yin Yang)

Slovenia’s Reaky has a mission. That mission is to turn the trance world into a quivering wreck! His pounding tech-trance tracks are being dropped by the biggest DJs on the planet including Paul van Dyk and Eddie Halliwell, the latter loving his tunes that much he signed them to his compilation album Fire It Up.

Ciaran Fox (Couture)

18yr old DJ/Producer from Northern Ireland, having just signed his first debut release to Couture, this young man is now on a mission to become the next Irish trance superstar! Using the reliable Fruity loops to produce his tracks it is clear the future is bright for Ciaran…remember where you heard him first.

Digital Foundation Episode 003 Details
Make sure that you tune in on Saturday, May 9, 2009 to this very special edition of Digital Foundation with Stevie Carnie. The show kicks off as scheduled at 9:00am CST | 10:00am EST | 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET.
sense.fm

I’m not one to post too much about radio shows as you can gather.
Why? Well there are plenty of shows that are broadcast every day of the week and I don’t want to clog up the site too much week in, week out with the same content. That would reduce the quality to mere spam surely?
Add a comment though at the end if you would like to see a round up of forthcoming shows each week and I’ll see what I can do

For its 3rd episode I couldn’t resist shouting out about such a fantastic selection of guests on Digital Foundation. Well done to Stevie Carnie for getting all these lot onto one show. I’ll be setting a reminder on my phone to tune in!

Once again that is on sense.fm at 9:00am CST | 10:00am EST | 15:00 GMT | 16:00 CET.

Please spread the word about the show and of course subscribe to iLove Trance Music if you have not already done so!

Cheers

New Trance Tracks 07-04-09

Stuart — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 00:27:29 +0000

Each week I’ll be aiming to bring you a round up of tracks doing it for me, incorporating every element of trance from uplifting to hard trance. I hope you like the following 5 tracks that I have picked out for this week.

Ercola feat. Daniella – Every Word (Scandall Sunset On Ibiza Remix)

Cayenne Recordings
TrackItDown Link

If you’ve not heard this one, then what hole have you been hiding in? Anyway, spring has arrived in the northern hemisphere and with it comes massive vocal anthems! I particularly liked this mix because it has a more euphoric sound than the original doing the rounds but does not go off the beaten path too much.

Mark Norman – Life’s Too Short 2009 (Original Mix)

Magik Muzik
DJ Download Link
An absolute classic reworked by Mark Norman, relive those 1996 moments all over again. Hell, I may even dig out my original CD release for work when I wake up!

OceanLab – On A Good Day (Daniel Kandi Remix)

Anjunabeats
TrackItDown Link

I know some of you are going to frown as to my choice not being the Above & Beyond Club Mix here. I feel Daniel Kandi has just got the tempo right here and I even feel that I prefer the Original Extended Mix over the almighty Above & Beyond :S Another fantastic anthem from Anjunabeats none the less!

Substate – Release (Sa.Vee.Oh Remix)

Joyride Recordings
DJ Download Link

Time to turn up the noise with this release from Joyride Recordings! It rather reminds me of Yoji’s releases of old, think ‘Theme From Banging Globe’ infused with a nice acid riff.

Ben Nicky vs. Adam Hayley – Morning Breeze

Abstract Recordings
TrackItDown Link

2008 was a storming year for Abstract Recordings and has had many tracks hit the No.1 spot in a short space of time since its birth. 2009 sees the labels performance continue and label owner Ben Nicky churning out excellent releases and fast becoming a most wanted man. Here we see another corking uplifting trancer with support from all the big names!

That’s it!
