New Trance Tracks 01-06-09

Stuart — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:42:24 +0000

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

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!

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!

New Trance Tracks 13-04-09

Stuart — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:38:09 +0000

More euphoric, uplifting, dirty, tech, banging, quality sounds this week as I give you my top 5!

I hope you all had an excellent Easter weekend, I know many of you in Australia would of been enjoying the likes of…well any of the 5 below in fact. To celebrate returning back to work (…Yawn!) I have picked out one of the latest tracks from 5 of the DJs who were featured in the Trance Energy tour!

Marco V – Coma Aid (Original Mix)

In Charge Recordings
TrackItDown Link

Hmmm… Marco V. I’ll be frank, I really didn’t follow what he did after Automanual, as I felt he was going to far down the electro/house route. Coma Aid I really think is a mixture of old and new and he has won me over again. Some may mention Red Blue Purple was also a fantastic track, but I heard it caned in so many commercial which kinda turned me off – just like when a pretty chav clubber opens her mouth and says “Wot u looking at?!”.

Art of Trance – Madagascar (Richard Durand Mix)

Ministry of Sound UK
TrackItDown Link

Every mix I hear Richard Durand work on is just gold! From Skunk Anansie, Way Out West, Armnin van Buuren and Tiesto, he never ever fails to impress! I repeat, he never ever fails to impress! Got that? Got the above track? Good!

Aly & Fila – Dynasty (Original Mix)

Armada
TrackItDown Link

My first time seeing these pair at Peach, London was immense! They really are a duo who perform as well behind the decks as they do in the studio. I’m sure Australia’s trance lovers will agree after hearing them over the Easter weekend.

Mark Sherry & James Allan vs Stuart Trainer – Cabin Fever (Original Mix)

Captivating Sounds
TrackItDown Link

I’m loving the mixes Mark Sherry keeps putting out on his Facebook group. Last year he really dug some great tunes and he looks set to continue with what I’ve seen in 2009.

Marcus Schossow – From My Heart (Original Mix)

Tone Diary
TrackItDown Link

Swedish DJ and producer Marcus Schossow I think has invested in a rocket. His rise to fame has been so sudden and quick in such a large industry, where everyone wants a slice of the pie and many household names hold onto their large portion, there can be no other explanation. Tone Diary is a force to reckon with, even Darth Vader wants in!
