Time does fly! Before I know it another week has gone and with it come more superb releases…

This week saw a new release by one of my all time favourite trance DJs and producer. Whenever I see him he is always beaming ear to ear, typically donning a pair of sunglasses and a shaved head. I am of course speaking of Randy Katana and if I haven’t hyped him up enough for you then his aptly named track should do the rest of the work on making you a fan hopefully!

Randy Katana – The Hype (Original Mix)
Reset Records
TrackItDown.net link

It has been such a long time that Randy Katana had released anything I was seriously starting to get worried! As they say “Good things come to those that wait!” and this new release has his trademark sound all over it. One I can’t wait to hear out on a big system

Marc Marberg with Kyau & Albert – Grrreat (Original Mix)
Euphonic
TrackItDown.net link

There is a Radio Edit version of this track. Why would you deprive yourself of further listening of this lush trance track by buying less than 4 minutes of it? I really don’t understand some people Either way, whichever release you buy will sound sweet with a nice vocal sample and melody running throughout. Close to big room sounding trance with the main lead hitting out.

Rank 1 – Symfo (Original Mix)
High Contrast Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

Rank 1 release the Sunrise Festival Theme 2009, held on the 24th July till 26th July at Kołobrzeg, Poland. With beautiful strings it is a reminder how close trance is to classical music, without the need of a bow tie and looking like a penguin.

Andy Moor and Ashley Wallbridge feat. Meighan Nealon – Faces (Ben Gold Vocal Mix)
AVA Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

We’ve all heard this one, but as a Ben Gold fan this is a must have! Taking it up a notch from the Original Mix, Ben drives this winning tune to a home run.

Marcus Schossow presents Progresia – Galandia
Tone Diary
TrackItDown.net link

Marcus Schossow getting all floaty with the summer loving feeling. With touches such as the birds tweeting make this a perfect track for sunny days and I bet the Ibiza crowd are lapping it up.

Mallorca Lee – You Are Here (Liquid Vision Remix)
MLXL
TrackItDown.net link
Some lovely tech noise from Liquid Vision who is fast becoming well known for his driving, energetic productions across a range of labels including Spinnin’ and Abstract Recordings.

DJ JACK – Da Bomb (John Askew Remix)
Discover Dark
TrackItDown.net link
If you like your tech-trance hard then you know Discover Dark do a grand job, and who better to remix their release than the label owner himself. John turns this techno beast into one hell of a trancer for 2am stomping at the front!

Cold Blue – Fever (Original Mix)
Monster Tunes
TrackItDown.net link
It is all about the keys! Reminds me of Giuseppe Ottaviani in some ways. A lovely tune that makes me drift away…

Steve Allen & Peter Drury – Recession (Indecent Noise Remix)
Excessive Pressure
TrackItDown.net link
Steve Allen trademark sound gets ripped apart by Indecent Noise’s tech sound which unleashes hell… Hold onto your bags kids because this is one hell of a ride when it kicks in!

Abstract Vision vs. Aquile & TB – Free Fall (Original Mix)
Emphase Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
Not to be confused with last weeks Freefalling release by Claudia Cazacu, but certainly a grand euphoric tune minus vocals worthy of adding to your collection. Had this on repeat a few times now

Arthur Breeze – Abandoned
U-NEQ Productions
TrackItDown.net link
Simple and effective progressive tech-trance that will nicely fill a set. Sometimes you need a track like this just to put everything else in perspective I feel.

AJ Gibson – Stories (Original Mix)
Essential Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
Godskitchen’s infamous resident pulls out a corking tune that has the support from all the big names and reminds me of great uplifting, euphoric tunes from back in the day!

Steve Anderson – Before Long (Original Mix)
High Contrast Nu Breed
TrackItDown.net link
Alex M.O.R.P.H.S.’s Remix is getting a lot of attention but I like the Original Mix more for its cleaner sound and I guess one could say, simpler ways?

Enton Mushi feat. Kerri Brown – Desire (Dreas Remix)
Just Peak Music
TrackItDown.net link
This is one of those tracks that I’m sure grows on you. When I heard the Original Mix I thought the vocals were leaning towards cheesy euro trance. This mix pulls the reigns in a little and has a better kick, but still those vocals…hmmm… I’ll have to play it some more I think and I would really like your opinion Haha!

Hey I made it to 14 tracks! Hope you like the selection this week!

Thank you for reading

New Trance Tracks 01-06-09

Quality UK summer weather means pulling out some ultimate trance tracks to blast out on the speakers!

I really want to say there are some awesome tracks around, and as you will notice from the selection below, some great remixes and sample uses of some classic trance! Love them or hate them, you can’t beat hearing some one else’s slant on an awesome release.

Carlo Resoort – First Rebirth (Original Mix)
Liquid Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

I real laid back take on Jones & Stephenson’s classic from 1993. Just perfect for summer weather we are currently being blessed with in the UK

Greg Nash – Summer Overture (Original Mix)
2 Play Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

“Overture (French ouverture, meaning opening) in music is the instrumental introduction to a dramatic, choral or, occasionally, instrumental composition.” On the advice of Wikipedia I would say this is a switch track, meaning that once you drop this track or hear it played you know the night has really begun. Dirty bass and euphoric sounds all in one!
Also check out ‘Cloud Shadow‘ as part of Greg Nash’s ‘Shadow EP’, very good stuff too.

Three Drives – Greece 2000 (Sander van Dien Remix)
Massive Drive Recordings
TrackItDown.net link

The man that was once half of First State shows that he’ll be marching on with this great remix of the classic that every girl, boy, dog, cat, goldfish and ultimately every trance lover should own by now. 12 years on Sander van Dien does justice to Greece 2000, now over a decade old, 12 years old in fact! I wonder what its teenage years will bring?

Signum – What Ya Got 4 Me (Yvan Prog Trance Mix)
Armada
TrackItDown.net link

If your anything like me, then you have probably hopped into other genres at times and enjoyed what they had to offer. Signum’s ‘What Ya Got 4 Me’ is an absolute classic that was snapped up by Tidy Trax after it was first released on Jinx Recordings. It was often a track to be heard blasting from chalets at many a Tidy Weekender and now I have a perfect progressive mix of it to cherish over the summer.

Orjan Nilsen – Moving Mojave (Original Mix)
Armada
TrackItDown.net link

I saw this a few weeks ago when released on Soundpiercing and really grew to love it afterwards. I regretted not putting it in the list that week so I badgered Armada to sign it and guess what… Ok yes I’m telling fibs! But I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from Armada is telling the same kind of story, as I’m sure they would of had a chance to have released this before Soundpiercing and are now making amends – as am I by featuring it this time round.

John Askew – The Door (Original Mix)
Discover
TrackItDown.net link
Great tech-trance track from John Askew that has a familiar feel to it but I can’t place my finger on it! Can you help me out??

Niklas Harding – The Soul
Black Hole Recordings
TrackItDown.net link
“I found love in the music, I found love for my soul…” Very nice sublime vocal over some nice laid back techy sounds. Nice work again from Niklas Harding, I hope your checking out his other stuff.

Glensk – Empty Sky (Indecent Noise pres. Terra Break Rework)
Excessive Pressure
TrackItDown.net link
I could recommend all three releases of ‘Empty Sky’, but to define the tech-trance that Indecent Noise produce please go look the word “savage” up in the dictionary.

Artimes – Precious Time (Ex-Driver Remix)
Only One Records
TrackItDown.net link
About time I got Ex-Driver in here, great hard hitting trance by these guys keep cropping up everywhere! One of the many great Russian producers getting support and he is seeing support from Ferry Corsten, one to watch.

Push – Trance Indicator (Plastic Boy Remix)
Armada
TrackItDown.net link
Push’s new album Global Age is due for release and here we have a bonus track that I really enjoy as it provides a bit more depth to the kick than the original. Nicely done and also I spotted there is a bonus remix of Interference by Sean Tyas for any of his fans.

That is my 10 trance tracks, hope you enjoy!

Please discuss below any tunes that you have bought or are really enjoying right now.

Cheers

Stuart
