That looks like one of the best offices to work in; great music, great label and Mat Zo causally djing in the background. Where do I apply? Tritonal & Ben Gold have released their much anticipated dub remix of Tritonal’s “Slave”, which has been one of the biggest tracks on various podcasts and web shows from Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten and Above & Beyond among others for the past month. This song just has to be bought by you guys. Not only is it an outstanding song, but Tritonal is also giving out 5, yes 5 exclusive mashups if you buy this song between today and the 27th. If that was not enough, if you buy it within the next 24 hours, you also have a chance to win tickets to their show in Leeds with Gareth Emery and Andy Moor, among others. Convinced yet? I know I bought this song. Details right HERE and more on their FACEBOOK. Get this on BEATPORT.

Eco, a trance Dj and producer based out of New York just released this two song EP on Armada Records that is simply stunning. With a simple yet effective bass line, these songs have slow, measured builds that pace their way into melodic breaks with uplifting synth work that is worthy of establishing Eco as one of the elite US trance producers. Get the EP on BEATPORT.

Stoneface & Terminal create this remix that is almost nothing like you have heard in trance before. It has a great, melodic build that suddenly drops into a very slow heavy two-step beat that then speeds up into an intense synth and bass driven drop that makes this song as wild a journey of sound as it is tempo for the listener. Get it on BEATPORT.
DOWNLOAD: Kyau & Albert – Made Of Sun (Stoneface & Terminal Remix)
Orjan Nilsen continues his 2012 right where he left off in 2011 by making absolutely massive trance tracks. He was a breakout artist in 2011 with a very successful album on Armada Records, and is only looking to build on that success in 2012. “Lucky Strike” is testament to that as a display of utmost quality from start to finish. Get this track on BEATPORT.

Xtigma comes out with this great single on Gareth Emery’s Garuda Records, that will surely help both the label and the artist. The song gives a great array of synth sounds with pitched synths and different tempos, as well as a great bass line underneath. Get it on BEATPORT.

Trance | Trance Tuesday: Trance in 2011

If the above video does not move you, then you need trance in your life. The video shows the healing power of Trance in Beirut, where war has torn apart the city and the country and trance helps them unite and forget the scars of the past. I could not imagine the goosebumps of dropping “Sun & Moon” for that guy, what a lucky man. Mat Zo just gave out a freebee for the holidays that was played on Above & Beyond’s Essential Mix earlier this year. It is a prototype for “Frequency Flyer” and sounds much like it, but also has a few differences. I solid production from the rising trance star.

Shogun delivers once again, with this remix of Dash Berlin’s single “Better Half Of Me”, which also got a fantastic remix from Alex M.O.R.P.H. This one has a harder synth, but keeps the great vocals and is a overall a fantastic remix from Shogun. Get it on BEATPORT.

Rafael Frost on Ferry Corsten’s Flashover Recordings delivers this smash hit that has received massive support from all the big names in the industry. It has a great synth laden build that continues into the build with some heavier bass and a guitar melody over it. If some of you are still hesitant about trance, this will be a good song for you because it is right on the line of trance and progressive house. Get it on BEATPORT.
DOWNLOAD: Rafael Frost – In The Air (Original Mix)
Above and Beyond recently released another single “Every Little Beat” off of their massive album “Group Therapy” and with it the Myon & Shane 54 remix that was on Anjunabeats Vol 9. Myon & Shane add a little extra to this outstanding song, making it a little heavier, but leaving much of the original in tact. Get it on BEATPORT.
DOWNLOAD: Above & Beyond – Every Little Beat feat. Richard Bedford (Myon & Shane 54 Summer Of Love Mix)
Radion 6 delivers this beautiful, pardon me, trance song with some slow synths, rising piano and a great smooth synth and bass laden drop for this very relaxed trance song. Get it on BEATPORT.

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.

Electro, House, Mashups | Enrique Iglesias ft. Lil Wayne – Dirty Dancer (Savoy Remix)
Posted by Middy on August 12, 2011
Following their collab on “The Way We See the World” Afrojack and Nervo have come together again and added Steve Aoki to make a great song set to release August 16th. Here is the Savoy remix they did for having I’m In Need making number 1 in the beatport dubstep chart. It is quite good, with some heavy electro drops and well crafted builds. Also take a look at how the video for Dirty Dancer is almost exactly the same as the video for Nero – Guilt, kind of funny.

Bonus:
Here is a fantastic mashup from Ken Loi. It is longer then most mashups, but stay with it because it changes throughout and stays excellent. The beginning has some more heavy electro in it and around the middle it transitions to a more melodic synth and piano driven song with some vocals as well.
