Lush & Simon collaborated with Rico & Miella to release their first music video, an original mix “Drag Me To The Ground” with Armada Music and Zouk Recordings. I’ve been listening to the track on repeat ever since it was sent to me, Miella’s vocals are hypnotic, and the overall vibe of the record is that slow motion feel you get when you’re at a festival, you’ve been dancing all day, the sun’ setting, and you get that out of body experience. This is a must listen and support on Beatport!

Electronic, House, Techno | Spice’s Top 10 Tracks of 2013
Posted by Spice on December 22, 2013
2013 was a year of many momentous things. Including the insanely awesome above shot, which was taken by yours truly with a cracked iPhone (and it’s frankly still a mystery as to how I managed to pull it off. I mean, look at that thing. That thing is next level. Eat your heart out, Rukes). In keeping with all the seasonal nostalgia, here are my picks for the best tracks of the year.
Progressive House | Walden – First Day
Posted by Middy on September 11, 2013
The young Aussie has not given us an original in quite some time, taking to the remix front heavily this year, most recently making his debut on Armada, remixing Paul van Dyk & Christian Burns’ “We Are Tonight”. With “First Day”, Walden captures the excitement of a first day or a first encounter, he brings together his brights synths and playful melodies for another quality original. You can also find an electro-styled remix from fellow Aussies, Ivan Gough and Jebu. You can catch Walden on tour this fall, starting tomorrow with Morgan Page and Project 46 on the Morgan Page Presents tour across North America.

Preview, Trance | BT, Orjan Nilsen & Dash Berlin Release Album Previews
Posted by Middy on August 5, 2013
BT has been one of the most prolific trance (though his sound has evolved) producers over the past 10-15 years, not only making music for others (Paul Oakenfold is one name) and collaborating with countless artists, but also releasing 8 full length albums. “A Song Across The Wire” is his 9th album, where we see some of his latest singles and his progressive trance sound, but also a venture into dubstep. It will be released August 16th. Pre-order on iTunes or at Armada shop.
Orjan Nilsen has been a staple of the trance scene for years now, releasing some of the biggest tracks in trance. His album wlll try and take his ability to make monster singles and create one cohesive journey that trance is so adept at doing. It will be released August 30th, 2 weeks after BT’s album. Pre-order on iTunes at Armada shop.
Ok, the Dash Berlin album preview is a bit misleading because he is just releasing a deluxe edition of #musicislife, but there is a whole second CD filled with mostly new remixes, 2 new singles (though one was recently released) and some live video. The deluxe version will be released August 23rd, one week after BT’s album so get ready for some outstanding trance on Fridays this month. Pre-order on iTunes or at Armada shop. Previews and tracklistings for each of the albums is after the jump.
Trance | Andy Duguid & Audrey Gallagher – In This Moment
Posted by Middy on July 24, 2013
While other labels like Armada and Anjunabeats have evolved and expanded their sounds to include the many variations of trance, Black Hole Recordings has been one of the few label strongholds for the traditional trance sound. The latest offering from the label comes from Scotsman Andy Duguid, who tabs noted trance vocalist Audrey Gallagher to provide an etheral top line for this track. The BPM is not going to crush you into a wall like a John O’Callahan track, but the uplifting qualities are more than present with fast moving key play, a euphoric melody and matching vocals. Yes there is the opening cymbal from “Levels” in there, so don’t despair, but rather just listen to the whole track and you will see why.
Progressive House | Syn Cole – April
Posted by Middy on February 4, 2013
Estonian producer Rene Pais, now known as Syn Cole or in the trance world as DNS Project, having ditched his Clashback moniker, is set to make his single debut on Avicii’s LE7ELS imprint with his track “April”. As one of our 13 to watch in 2013, Syn Cole combines gritty, complex electro, a quick alternating bass line, with strong synth play and pitch lead. The progressive mix takes a little of the edge off with a stripped back second drop for those of you who want a little more of an uplifting sound. Having already shown his prowess on the remix front and trance fans are already quite familiar with the DNS Project name, having played ASOT 550 in addition to numerous releases on Armada, Coldharbour etc, it should be no surprise that the quality will be there from the get go, as we see with “April”.

Trance | BT & Arty feat. Nadia Ali – Must Be The Love
Posted by Middy on September 17, 2012
Serving as the first single on BT’s upcoming album, “Must Be The Love” with Russian phenom, Arty and possibly the biggest singer in dance music, Nadia Ali combines beautiful orchestral arrangement with smooth uplifting trance to create this heavenly track. The production on this is flawless from the unique orchestral opening to Nadia Ali’s angelic vocals to soothing builds that create a feeling of pure bliss. The individual producer’s marks can be markedly seen with BT providing the detailed production work and the opening, while Arty provides his signature reverbed piano and bass lines. Whatever Arty touches turns to gold and with BT and Nadia Ali aiding him, the alchemy is even stronger.
