An awesome Chill Out track whose lyrics completely reflect my persona – “I think I feel much better, at night”. The artist is Shakedown and the track is titled At Night. This is the kind of music you listen to when you just wanna relax on the couch all by yourself on a warm summer … Continue reading Shakedown – At Night (Afterlife Mix)
A staggeringly beautiful composition with meticulous attention to detail. When I first heard it, my mind was blown from start to finish. Extremely well-thought out textures and consistent arrangements make this an impeccable production. The thoroughly absorbing and multi-layered sonic atmospheres delve deep into the realms of vividly desolate panoramas. For me this is not only … Continue reading Koruption – Popcorn
Having just got hold of Ferry Corsten’s new mix compilation Passport: Kingdom Of The Netherlands, I happened to hear the first track aptly titled Leaving Panic Behind. And what a fantastic piece of music it is. The tune is all over me and it’s just too good. Flash Brothers deliver a monster mix here. If … Continue reading Cassino & Laben – Leaving Panic Behind (Flash Brothers Remix)
We were oh so naive and amazingly prone to loving beauty. We never needed the intrusive thickness of a dubstep snare drum. A nice and chilled breakbeat structure would simply do. Startlingly wonderful pads, the distinctive sound of that guitar riff, the longing for sunshine and seascapes, like being between sleep and realness – this … Continue reading Chicane – Offshore (Disco Citizens Remix)
Reaching The Sky is one of my favourite tunes of the year, and quite collectable (don’t let anyone tell you otherwise), particularly if you’re into a strain of contemporary dance music that brushes against academia, post-classical, systems music, and overarching abstraction, sometimes all at once (in a good way). Challenging listening to be sure, but … Continue reading Atomix – Reaching The Sky
The beautiful lyrics in Burned With Desire will remind you of so many things that have happened to you in the past. It’s definitely one of the most expressive tracks you’ll come across. You won’t do more than just love it! Seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever written, an anthem for the endless … Continue reading Armin van Buuren feat. Justine Suissa – Burned With Desire
This tune has a constantly anticipating build up, a beautiful extended breakdown, completed by an euphoric pay-off. This is one tune that actually earns the title ‘Trance’ as it always manages to keep one in throughout its length. People have cried when hearing this on the dance floor – it’s so good. The Reachers Of Civilization is not just a track, but a … Continue reading York – The Reachers Of Civilization
Call me nostalgic, but this is a stellar record. Right from the first beat, it’s very easy to get lost in this one. The last time I heard Rachel In Trance, I remember my mind losing it in another dimension; the trip was an enjoyable feeling in the perception of sounds. If a tune could … Continue reading Zymotix – Rachel In Trance
For A Lifetime ascends me up and throws me into oblivion. It is magic. It is the most extreme form of happiness I feel. It is the drug that I’ll never recover from. Erin Lordan on vocal duty here delivers one of the most fantastic lyrics heard in dance music – her gorgeous voice adds meaning … Continue reading Ascension feat. Erin Lordan – For A Lifetime (Ocean Lab Mix)
