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!

Thank you for reading and as always please remember to subscribe if you have not done at the top right of the page.

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!
