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!

New Trance Tracks 07-07-09

Stuart — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 23:27:20 +0000

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
