This is an incredible new single off of Dash Berlin’s upcoming second album, ‘#musicislife,’ set to release April 27th. I love Trance, but it is hard for me to get into vocal Trance tracks. That just isn’t the case with this track. Sarah Howells voice is incredible, her cover of Dash Berlin’s work is flawlessly beautiful. Dash Berlin has been called the King of Vocal Trance, this track is a perfect example why.

DJ-Set, Progressive House, Trance | Rafael Frost – Channel 4
Posted by Middy on March 21, 2012
I have posted Rafael Frost in my now retired Trance Tuesday posts, (sorry people but GOOD free trance is almost impossible to find, especially on a weekly basis) and this is his latest single “Channel 4” out on Ferry Corsten’s, Flashover Recordings. This song has been supported by just about every major trance artist under the sun. He has a unique sound that is both incredibly melodic and hard hitting with a blend of house and trance. The formula has been championed by the likes of Arty and though I am not saying he is Arty, I think his style that combines trance and house so well with more of an emphasis on trance, could easily lead to an explosion of popularity for Rafael Frost, much like the explosion of popularity that happened for Arty in 2011. This may not be the song that does it, but I think that Rafael Frost has what it takes to become a star. He does not make that many songs, instead focusing on creating the best quality tracks possible and does not tour much, which hinders an artists ability to be seen. Either way 2012 should be a pivotal year for Rafael Frost. Also check out a preview of his upcoming remix of Boom Jinx & Daniel Kandi – Azzura on Enhanced Records. Also after the jump is Hard Rock Sofa’s Miami 2012 Podcast with the hottest songs out now and their upcoming collaboration with Swanky Tunes “Apogee”

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.

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.

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.

This track is unlike any other I have heard. It is an epic mix of House, Trance, and Dubstep. I have heard many attempts at blending trance and dubstep, but nothing comparable to this monster. First thought when I heard this was, “I want to rage right now.” I hope this also fuels your need to rage this weekend. Happy Friday Everyone.

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”.

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.
