There aren't many who do uplifting trance as well as Russia's Alexander Popov. His orchestral musical talents, and blockbuster soundscapes are quite simply, epic. For his next Armind release however, he steps into a deeper, calming mode, albeit still laced with his trademark melodies. First heard as part of Armins 'Universal Chapter 5' it is now yours for the taking. With its proggy depth, melodic twists and orchestral touch, 'Elegia' is a versatile and dynamic tune to add a breath of fresh air to any set.
Russia's leading trance export continues to raise his production game and we reckon this is his finest moment in some time, and definitely the biggest club record. Slamming beats and an electro b-line drive this pumping trancer, with layers of melodies building and soaring. Big room trance at its very best and with all the notoriety of a golden era 'hands in the air' classic. Support from all the major players over the past few weeks, makes this an essential!
Well, with this many artists on one sleeve, you kind of know that it's going to be good.. and that is most certainly the case with 'In Motion'. Classic Black Hole sounds, with bags of emotion, uplifting big room melodies and a topline you will have rattling around your head for days on end. The housey old school riff runs (and powers) throughout, with simplistic percussion and a warm rolling bassline. Just the Original mix to grab for now, but we are sure you will agree there is no need for anything else.
Ireland has become somewhat of a breeding ground for trance talent over the past few years. The likes of John O'Callaghan, Paul Webster, Neal Scarborough and many more all taking the sounds of the Emerald Isle to international climbs. The talent continues to flow, as High Contrast present the latest for Belfast's Stuart Millar on their NuBreed offshoot. Fast and furious, acid laded, uplifting trance with a throbbing bassline and meaty kick thrashing alongside piercing synth lines and acid laser beams. Power trance at its very best, that will no doubt tear from roof of any building you unleash it in!
Some super fresh sounds here from Alex Oshean, as he throws a multitude of styles and influences into the musical blender. Combining psy trance elements, funky rhythms, and airy atmospherics to then transcend into a tech trance lead line that lifts the energy. Although, the phrase "taking the listener on a journey", is overused.. It is quite apt in describing 'A Day Will Come'. An interesting and ever evolving soundscape that pushes the boundaries and excitingly blurs the genre lines.. Check it out!!
