This remix of Above and Beyond’s “You Got To Go” by Kyau and Albert is a great take on the original with more energy in the drop and more bass, while keeping that euphoric, melodic build. Get it on Beatport HERE.

Protoculture makes some great remixes and this is another one. This is a smooth, melodic, uplifting trance track that is great from start to finish. Get it on Beatport HERE.

This next remix is massive. It is a little heavier then the previous trance songs, but it is still great. It has a little extra synth that creates an amazing synth melody. It does have a slower, melodic side that builds to the heavier synth to give it balance. Get it on Beatport HERE.

Since I seem to be doing these Trance posts on Tuesdays I will add Tuesdays to the title. Here is the long anticipated single from Mat Zo “Frequency Flyer”. It is the quality you come to expect from Anjunabeats and Mat Zo.

This Marcus Schossow song skirts the line of trance and progessive house, more along the lines of what has been called “Trance 2.0”. It is a great track, supported by the top DJs.

Everyone knows it isn’t a party without Arty. The Remode mix is heavier than the original mix but both are amazing.

House, Trance | Erik Arbores – Take It E.P. 14 Year Old Phenom
Posted by Middy on September 27, 2011
Ok so I brought those 13 year old kids playing Cafe Mambo yesterday and today I bring you an EP that has gone number 1 on the iTunes charts in Netherlands from a 14 year old Dutch kid. He is signed to Armada Records. The E.P. uses a whole variety of different sounds, from piano leads to darker synth sounds and some trance-house, displaying already the musical variety this kid and how good a producer he is. This kid is absurdly talented and he is really smart too, currently taking physics at the oldest technical university in Holland. All I can say is wow and look out for this kid to destroy clubs, festivals in the very near future. Support him and buy his E.P on beatport HERE.

Trance, Videos | KOPPS – LA Lights (SmarterChild Remix)
Posted by GMONEY on September 23, 2011
Early last month, SmarterChild let his remix to KOPPS LA Lights loose on the world and hasn’t looked back since. Earlier today he hit me up with these visuals to go with the track. The video, backed by SmarterChild’s trance masterpiece and produced by Colin Kelly, really captures the excitement of New York Fashions Week and Fashion’s Night Out.

Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten, two of the biggest names in Trance and in EDM, team up to give us this massive trance track called Brute. It is a bit different from their latest collaboration “Minack” on Armin’s latest artist album, Mirage. This song is going to be on Ferry Corsten’s upcoming artist album. Buy it on Beatport HERE.

Here are two awesome remixes off of Super8 & Tabs Empire remix album from Gareth Emery and Protoculture. Gareth Emery’s remix takes a little while to build but once it does, it is amazing and the female vocals are perfect. The Protoculture remix gives the song that little extra with its slow, soothing build and great drop with quality synth and bass. Buy the songs on Beatport HERE.

I was pleasantly surprised at support for trance, so here is the second installment. The Sander van Doorn is getting set to release his upcoming album “Eleve11” on the 19th and here is the album preview with a song featuring Adrian Lux called “Eagles”. He made 12 tracks in the past year and the album only has 11 so he gave out the 12th for free. It is aptly named “Track 12”.
DOWNLOAD: Sander van Doorn – Track 12
The next song is a single he just released off of the album and the title sounds like many of your weekends/Monday nights, “Drink To Get Drunk”. Not the most trance sounding song, but it is still good and the rest of the CD should be great.

Here is the two sided EP from Jaytech on the trance super label Anjunabeats. This is the classic trance we all love. Infectious, uplifting piano rifts with a smooth synth and bass line all on top of soft vocals in New Vibe and Echo is a little more uptempo and relies on more of a varying synth lead.

A bonus that is more euphoric, progressive trance. It has the female vocals, synth work and bass to make a classic. It is there for all of you being railed by school (me) or life to know better days are ahead.

Now I know some or even most of you are going to skip over this post because trance is not upbeat enough or too repetitive or because you can’t party to trance. I understand, I can’t force you to like music, but I can give you a taste of it and make you better informed. I plan on making this a weekly posting to keep you guys up to date on the best of trance. Trance is uplifting, emotional music that can be played in many settings. It can be played as dance music such as if you have ever seen a trance artist live like Above and Beyond, (the best show I have ever seen) then you know how much energy it can have. So lets get to the music. Here is the music video for Mansion by Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge and the song is pure Trance gold.

Here is another cut from Gareth Emery’s new CD “The Sound Of Garuda Pt. 2”, which has two new tracks from him and 12 new songs overall. Gareth Emery is a total boss so get this guy’s music. Some people have said that trance is becoming too mainstream or moving too much towards house, but this CD stays with with the roots of Trance combining influences of the new era trance to create an amazing CD start to finish. Get it on iTunes or beatport.

Here is the latest track from Trance veteran Andy Moor on Armada records (Armin’s Record Label”. It is a beautiful trance song that works with the latest in trance with some female vocals, uplifting synth and typical trance bass to tie it all in. Buy it HERE.

This remix of the American BT’s “A Million Stars” is absolutely sublime. The bass, the female vocals, the hands in the air synth, especially on the drop is all just so good. If you are driving you will want to go really fast and if you are sitting you will want to stand.
