List of 10 New Trance Tracks 23-09-09

Stuart — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 23:43:06 +0000

Well summer is coming to a close here in the UK and all those tracks you have heard on those (some) sunny days are rolling in. The DJmag votes are now being counted by the time many of you read this…will Above & Beyond take that number one spot I wonder?

Mean while the closing parties in Ibiza are under way and I’m planning on celebrating my 30th Birthday at Slinky, O2 Academy Bournemouth (formerly known as The Opera House). Feel free to join me for one hell of a night on the 31st October with the likes of Marco V, Adam Sheridan, Ali Wilson, Lee Haslam, Ben Gold and Dav Gomrass!
Event details can be found here.

Sulaco – Realm Of Infinity (Original Mix)
Digitized Recordings
DJdownload.com link

The throb of the sub-bass and kick to this track really picks it out. Then when it breaks, the keys and the rhythm changes in the percussion (very dubstep stylee Haha!) as it builds again make it one supreme track on the list today!

Stoneface & Terminal – St Francis Foley (Club Mix)
Euphonic
DJdownload.com link

As always Stoneface & Terminal bring us delightful uplifting numbers. I’m playing catch up on releases on the blog not having written anything recently, if like me, you may yet to catch up including this one in your collection

Adiva feat Vicky Fee – How Does It Feel (Myon & Shane 54 Vocal Mix)
Coldharbour Recordings
DJdownload.com link

How does it feel? Well beings you ask, it feels nice and warm, with a fluttering feeling in my chest…
Myon & Shane 54 take an already excellent track and give it a superb vocal mix that is…well, just lovely I guess does not sum it up enough. Love vocal tracks? This is one for you!

Marco V – Stimulated 2010 (Original Mix/Jonas Stenberg Remix)
In Charge
DJdownload.com link

Ok I’m going to act all child like now (sorry!) —- OMG! OMG! OMFG! TUNE!!
I shit you not this has totally made my day and trying to listen to other tunes to pick after I came across this corker of a remake has been hardwork. Old school Marco V tracks such as Indicator, Acid Pacemaker and of course Stimulated are some of my all time favourite tech-trance tunes. How could they not be? If you have ever loved tech-trance then I dare you to say you have not heard of at least one of those three and say you have not enjoyed them!

The Original Mix of Stimulated 2010 has that slight slant of the new Marco V. What I love is it does not give the game away until 2mins 38secs and then the trademark sound screams out.
The Jonas Stenberg Remix is one evil sucker with lots of familiar sounds but the main riff drops in at 3mins 57secs. This I can tell is going to be weapon of choice in many DJs collections but to be fair I love them both. Now who is up for Indicator 2010??

Jordan Suckley – The Storm! (Original Mix)
Liquid Recordings
DJdownload.com link

Jordan Suckley jumps up the production ladder all the time with his efforts! Already signed to one of Britain’s biggest booking agencies and producing top notch tracks I can’t see what can go wrong for him right now. The Storm! is set to kick off a storm of fans flocking his way with this excellent trance track incorporating something for everyone.

Gaia – Tuvan (Gareth Emery Remix)
Armind
DJdownload.com link
Armind + Gareth Emery Remix = Winner! All round brilliant track anyway (check out the luxurious violins in the Andy Blueman Remix) gets a ‘man of the moment’ makeover.

Estiva – I Feel Fine (Piano Mix)
Enhanced Recordings
DJdownload.com link
Nothing new here, but it is nice to still hear a well refined peak time trancer that has some piano, and this track hits that nail firmly on the head.

Simon Patterson – Always (Original Mix)
Reset Records
DJdownload.com link
Simon Patterson coming out with a nice driving uplifting tech-trancer with a little female vocal loop rounding it off nicely.

Ben Gold feat. Senadee – Today (Filo & Peri Remix)
Kill The Lights
DJdownload.com link
Have I ever told you how good Ben Gold is? …I have? Well I’m sorry but Today is going to be one of those days again To top it off the Filo & Peri Remix is the one getting caned by literally everyone, and rightly so.

Dennis Sheperd and Cold Blue – Freefalling (Cold Blue Mix)
High Contrast Recordings
DJdownload.com link
A difficult choice with both Dennis Sheperd and Cold Blue each doing a Mix and Dub Mix. Cold Blue does it for me though by a whisker as it carries the energy throughout the track a lot more.

Bonus Tracks
Aurosonic & Morphing Shadows feat. Marcie – Ocean Wave (Heartstrings Remix)
Shah-Music Digital
DJdownload.com link
There are a whole bundle of mixes for this track! Soo many in fact that it floods into Dub, Breaks and Chillout.
Something for everyone I guess is Shah’s orders. I’m prefering the Heartstrings Remix just a little over the Original Mix as it has a little more grunt after the breakdown.

A/B Project – Everything Ends (Original Mix/Steve Anderson Remix)
SAME Progressive
TrackItDown.net link
As heard on the Epitome of Sound Sessions podacst Episode 3 this month with Steve Anderson supplying a wonderful guest mix. A fantastic progressive trance track that really has it all in the right places with drum rolls, synths that leave you floating on cloud 9 and piano keys that call out your name.

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

New Trance Tracks 11-05-09

Stuart — Mon, 11 May 2009 23:17:53 +0000

Soo many good tracks out there right now I nearly threw caution to the wind and threw them all on here! I dug my heels in though as it is getting late into the night, so here is my Top 5 New Trance Tracks for the 11th May!

There are many great tracks as I say, but disappointments I felt with John O’Callaghan’s ‘Find Yourself’ and the collaboration of Sander van Doorn & Marco V with their release ‘What Say’. I was so disappointed in both that I nearly went on to find a further 3 tracks and rename this weeks list as My Top 5 Trance Tracks Not Doing It For Me…

Thankfully I came across many beautiful releases and worked hard to just bring what I believe to be 5 fantastic tracks that should be in your life.

Matt Hardwick – I Am DJ (Ben Gold Remix)
Kill The Lights
TrackItDown.net link

Two of the UK’s finest on one track! Pure unadulterated uplifting tech-trance with Ben Gold doing the remix duties on Matt Hardwick’s ‘I Am DJ’ has left me weak at the knees and it is only the first track in the list!

ATB – A New Day
A1 Music Oy
TrackItDown.net link

Well I was not going to miss giving the lovely Betsie Larkin a shout out on her latest track with ATB. More lush vocals and I can just feel myself clapping away in a club to the percussion and kick that ATB has laid down making you realise why he demands a No. 14 spot in the Top 25 Trance DJs list.
Betsie Larkin interview for something to read after you have finished the next 3 tracks if you have not already done so

Gareth Emery – Exposure
Garuda
TrackItDown.net link

Wam! Bam! Thank you Ma’am! If all first releases on new labels were this good imagine how much more good music there would be? Yeah, I’m getting hot flushes just thinking of it!
Gareth Emery is stamping his authority on the scene and here is why – he oozes quality and with his recent appearance on Armin’s A State of Trance 400 show, the world is getting to hear about him even more.

Dave Walker – Sunshine At Night (Steve Anderson Remix)
SAME Progressive
TrackItDown.net

Don’t be fooled by this release being under the progressive side of SAME Recordings, Steve Anderson leads it down a dirty path with his unique style and lush synths spread out all over the track. The Original Mix is also one to check out.

Yakooza – Cocaine 2009 (Dr Willis Remix)
Traffic Tunes
TrackItDown.net link

I’ve left the hard one for the end and what a classic! Traffic Tunes throw up a collection of remixes to suit all tastes with ‘Cocaine 2009′. Dr Willis really struck out for me and has a real nice groove to boot!

Thank for reading and please leave a comment on what you think of the above selection and any tracks you have bought recently!
