Electro-House, Trance | W&W – Thunder
Posted by Middy on May 20, 2013
Arguably the hottest producers right now, their singles “Lift Off” and “The Code“ are still heavily in circulation, while their “This Is What It Feels Like“ remix is the potent remix of choice for Armin van Buuren and many others. Not diverging from their bombastic sound, W&W unleash another massive track that follows much of the same structure and winning formula as “The Code”, providing an unrelenting bass line and thunderous synths.
One can criticize them for sticking to their sound too much or going with a sound that is becoming more and more common, but you have to remember that they helped bring this style to the mainstream and others followed them. Coming up, the gigantic Dutch duo have their collab with Hardwell, which was just recently finished, as well a few IDs on the way.

Electro-House, Trance | W&W – Thunder (Preview)
Posted by Middy on May 6, 2013
The world was still trying to come back to earth after “Lift Off“, when W&W in association with Ummet Ozcan unleashed “The Code” on the world, sparking mainstages and clubs afire. “The Code” is still heavily in circulation, but that has not stopped W&W from keeping up their nearly vertical assent to the top of the dance music world with another production destined to take them there, “Thunder“. The aptly named “Thunder” continues their recent run of high energy, booming tracks that propel their stardom higher with each passing day. Look for this on May 20th.
Trance | Above & Beyond – Walter White
Posted by Middy on May 2, 2013
If there is anyone I would want to embody the cunning, vicious, daring, ruthless, calculated nature of Walter White aka Heisenberg, Above & Beyond would be on my short list. One of the highlights of Anjunabeats Volume 10, and their recent live sets, the relentless, remorseless “Walter White” shows a departure from their typical “Group Therapy” style that has placed them uniquely among the trance greats. Quick pulsing electro begins rights away and gives way to a tranced out break, reminding us of the euphoric power of Above & Beyond, but then just like Walter White, as soon as you think you are out of the woods, quick bursts of booming synths come into the foreground, aided by growling electro.
Trance | Max Graham feat. Tania Zygar – Diamonds (Max Graham Club Mix)

A beautiful song for a beautiful day. Don’t be fooled by the mellow vibe — “Diamonds” boasts big, orchestral pads, an airy hook, and sublime vocals courtesy of Tania Zygar. This track is pure feel good music that’s pretty much made for warm spring weather.
Sidenote: in its Beatport description, this track is described as a “trancer.” I’ve seen this expression used before and I just want you to know that I don’t support it. Just because you’re planning to finish your ten-pager before going to pick up a sixer of Bud Light doesn’t mean you now have license to heedlessly use the letters E and R to nominalize things all over the damn place. Just yesterday my friend described an upcoming job interview as a “phoner.” This reign of terror must end.

Electro, Trance | Ferry Corsten – Black Light // F*ck The Bull$h1t [Preview]
Posted by Spice on May 1, 2013
![black light Ferry Corsten Black Light // F*ck The Bull$h1t [Preview]](http://s.freshnewtracks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/black-light.jpg "Ferry Corsten Black Light // F*ck The Bull$h1t [Preview]")
2013 has been good to Mr. Corsten. Since January, he’s celebrated the 300th episode of Corsten’s Countdown and the 100th release on Flashover Recordings, has played a series of absolutely massive gigs (including Madison Square Garden), and of course launched the New World Punx with good buddy Markus Schulz. He even got a wild new ‘do — a nod to the New World Punk lifestyle, perhaps? Somehow, in the midst of all of this, he has managed to find time to hit the studio; “Black Light,” which dropped yesterday and will be immediately recognizable to anyone who’s seen Ferry live this year, is merely the first in a string of giant upcoming releases.
Simply put, “Black Light” is a banger. In the grand tradition of much of today’s trance, it borrows heavily from electro house — but to great effect. The hook is dark and ominous, the bassline packs a serious punch, and the fact that it all goes down at 132 bpm gives the track an added urgency. I’m also loving how the pitch on the leads drops off — very reminiscent of “Mammoth,” which has been a mainstay in Ferry’s recent live sets. If you’re loving “Black Light,” look for “F*ck The Bull$h1t” to hit Beatport on May 17th — it features a stirring, eerie, almost yearning hook and a drop that’s totally unexpected and built to get you in the zone. F*ck the bull$h1t indeed.

Trance | DJ Redwire – Protosphere
Posted by Mach on April 22, 2013
Instrumental Trance is incredible in my opinion. Vocals are always nice to have and I do enjoy them, but just having instrumentals leaves so much for your imagination to interpret. Especially on a Progressive Trance track such as this. DJ Redwire has created a few gems that now reside in my music library, this is just another beauty to add to the bunch. Enjoy.

Trance | Estiva & Jeera Lert – Come Home
Posted by Spice on April 10, 2013
Estiva is rapidly proving himself to be a dominant force in the world of melodic trance, and this latest addition to his collection is nothing short of a masterpiece. “Come Home” flirts with a dubsteppy bassline before delivering a breathless and euphoric break that’s positively radiant. And those vocals? How about those vocals? I know, I know, I’m drooling all over this song — but give it a listen and I’m sure you’ll understand. Look for this one to turn up in more places now that it’s seen an official release.
