Trance | SUBMERSIVE’s “Slowmotion Ft. Cavale” Takes Trance To Fresh Levels
Posted by VMan on February 4, 2018
Ever since picking up his first drum stick at age ten, LA-based DJ and producer SUBMERSIVE has held a deep respect for the art of crafting rhythms. Though SUBMERSIVE only started releasing his own music a little over one year ago, his impressive productions have already earned him gigs at Illumination 2018 and Love & Lust’s Valentines Ball Massive. On his new single “Slowmotion”, SUBMERSIVE balances intense trance vibes with a perfect complement of haunting, stripped down vocals from Cavale. Embracing the contrast between Cavale’s vocal range and his churning, synth-based production, SUBMERSIVE demonstrates the raw power of melding modern trance production with talented vocalists.
Trance | Marcus Santoro showcases his ‘Interior Exterior’
Posted by VMan on July 29, 2017
Young Melbourne-based music maestro Marcus Santoro has been stacking up spins from various Trance kingpins through 2017, including Above & Beyond, Paul Van Dyk and Ferry Corsten. His latest offering from within the studio now comes via Aly & Fila’s ‘FSOE Excelsior’ imprint, and it’s entitled ‘Interior Exterior’. The tracks oozes a Jeckyll & Hyde vibe, the drops pack a punch via a dark, heavy bassline, whilst the melody oozes energy and an uplifting vibe via the use of some classic Trance synths. Overall, another quality record for the ever-expanding Excelsior catalog.

Posted by JT on April 6, 2015
This isn’t the first time Monoverse has made waves on FNT, nor will it be his last. The trance purist returns with another upbeat adrenaline rushing remix that takes perfect advantage of the seductive vocals brought to you by duo Exostate. Out on Enhanced’s sub-label Digital Society Recordings Beware: this track is not for the weary – but at the same time, don’t be afraid to let this in and take control as Trance so naturally always does.
Progressive House | Sweda Brighten’s The Day With This Delicious Remix
Posted by JT on December 14, 2014
I very rarely put up mainstage anthems outside the Trance genre but today I got a taste of some uplifting vibes that took me on a major feel-trip. Sweda’s remix to the enchanting ‘Till The Sun Burns Out’ captures and lifts you high, with vocals so addictive you can’t help but keep the repeat button permanently pressed. He’s completely flipped the original – if you’re fans of groups like Lost Kings then you’ll fall in love with this timeless classic.
Melodic Progressive, Trance | Andrew Lang releases ‘Presence of Mind’ on Progressive House Worldwide
Posted by JT on December 9, 2014
It is very rare to find a true rendition of progressive meets trance, but Andrew Lang has fused these two sounds and created the tranquil ‘Presence of Mind.’ This Toronto, Canada based producer has been making waves in the melodic progressive scene and so I was surprised and shocked that Andrew stepped out of his comfort zone and amped the BPM, followed by a heavenly break that tuned a chord progression exemplary of the quality of music this man consistently supplies. I truly expect this tune to turn some heads in the Trance scene as it finds the perfect balance between melodic and progressive trance.
Progressive House | Hardwell & W&W – The Dance Floor Is Yours
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 5, 2014
A few months ago, during an interview at A State of Trance 650 in Utrecht, Hardwell offered the following response to Armin Van Buuren in regards to what his album might sound like:
“I’m experimenting with a lot of new, different sounds. I’m a bit sick of the same formula that’s going on in EDM right now so I’m just trying to change boundaries and look at what’s going on in the rest of the world. Even in the hip hop scene and the trance scene and try to combine as much as possible.” [VIDEO]
I’m going to let that marinate as you listen to this new offering from Hardwell. Ha!

2013 was a year of many momentous things.

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.
