Trance | Jaytech – Multiverse
Posted by Spice on December 12, 2012
With the full single package for the title track off of Jaytech’s recent artist album, Above & Beyond and the Anjuna team continue to prove that they’re willing to push the boundaries of trance. “Multiverse” in its original incarnation is a funky, deep house-inflected jam; the club mix maintains that sound and adds some heft to the bassline, while Audien brings in big, euphoric synths to the breakdown. Expect to see heavy support for this remix from other Anjuna artists — Audien is definitely one to watch in 2013. Rounding out the package is Russian up-and-comer Mimax, who gives the track a fresh, progressive vibe thanks to a new hook.

DJ-Set, Dubstep, House, Trance | Weekend Mixes 12/6/12
Posted by Middy on December 6, 2012
This week’s weekend mixes brings you a whole variety from dubstep to trance to house. It is finals time and though you may want one last hurrah this weekend, you will need some music to get down to studying and there is plenty of that here. We start things off with The Drop and this week’s show that includes a guest mix from Max Graham and an interview with W&W where they reveal their next track will be coming out on Revealed. Next up we have the latest two episodes of Tritonal’s weekly podcast “Air Up There” that is being rebranded after its final show this Saturday with the recording of their live show in their hometown of Austin, Texas. Both episodes are 3 hour retrospective episodes, so hit play and go on a journey with Tritonal. Then we have Fehrplay’s December mix to finish out the year that brings some groovy house to the table. After the jump you have Tristan Garner’s fast paced, bootleg heavy set from Queen two weeks back along with mixes from Knife Party, Adventure Club, Arty & Maor Levi. Tracklist as always after the jump.
Trance | Ferry Corsten – Silfra
Posted by Spice on December 3, 2012
I’m not sure how this managed to fly below the radar. Inspired by a summer trip to Iceland and as a “thank you” to his fans, Ferry Corsten brings us “Silfra,” a melodic, progressive track that speaks to his roots as a producer. Trance fans will no doubt be pleased by the somewhat nostalgic vibe here — and the fact that it’s a free download. And if the album artwork is any indication, I think it’s safe to say that he’s captured the essence of the place. Check it out below.
Trance | W&W – Lift Off!
Posted by Middy on December 3, 2012
W&W give us yet another massive track that displays their unique genre blending type of music that blows minds and rocks festivals worldwide. “Lift Off!” does just that, prepping you with a soothing, unassuming build that all of a sudden hits you like a ton of bricks with thumping bass and booming synths. The track has already been supported by every trance DJ who matters, including being a future favorite on ASOT, so get on this right now as W&W continue to make their mark with their unique, high energy trance.

Dubstep, Trance | Elliot Berger Ft. Thallie Ann Seenyen – Hanging On
Posted by Mach on November 29, 2012
It is hard to get enough of this perfect genre blend. Trance and Dubstep were meant to be together because the child they produced is one of the most incredible sounds to come into EDM. Elliot Berger went all in with this original and Thallie’s vocals were just the icing on the cake. How do you like your emotions served? I prefer mine with smooth bass.

Trance | Mark Burton vs. Sunlounger & Zara Taylor – Try Understatement To Be Love (Armin van Buuren Mashup)
Posted by Spice on November 19, 2012
Armin van Buuren’s uplifting mashup of “Try To Be Love” and “Understatement” has been everywhere lately — Universal Religion Chapter 6; live sets; his guest mix on ABGT 002 — but now the mastered, full length studio version is here and it’s just as massive as you’d expect. Mark Burton’s rippling, dynamic instrumental is a perfect complement to Zara Taylor’s warm vocals and the lyrics catapult this to rave anthem level. This is feel good party music at its best.

Preview, Trance | Above & Beyond – Alchemy (Above & Beyond Club Mix and Myon & Shane 54 Redemption Mix)
Posted by Spice on November 19, 2012
Devotees of Above & Beyond, rejoice — the long-awaited club mix for “Alchemy” has finally dropped. “Alchemy” is quite possibly my favorite track on Group Therapy so do yourself a favor and listen to the first few minutes if you’re not familiar with this insanely luminous and beautiful song. The club mix is the version that the trio has used in their live sets for the past several months, so if you’ve been fortunate enough to catch them on tour you will almost certainly recognize it. As in their past club mixes, they’ve layered in a harder bassline and big, shimmering synths but have left the emotional core of the song intact (thank goodness). Included in this package is an extended album cut, so if you’re like me and still can’t get enough of Zoe Johnston’s vocals in the chorus you’ll probably want to add that to your Beatport cart as well.
Also keep an eye out for Myon & Shane 54’s upcoming Redemption Mix (above), which Above & Beyond featured last Friday on ABGT 002 and which is set to drop on December 3. This remix has a dark, trancey vibe that’s a bit more intense than the club mix.
