Gaia - Empire Of Hearts

Brenden LaBonte a.k.a. Forerunners has released a steady stream of immersive and unique tracks over the past 8 years, with remixes on various Solarstone labels. Something of an enigma as an artist, this Arizona based producer is definitely in the ‘quality over quantity’ camp. This EP contains 3 pieces of the finest progressive trance music that you’re likely to hear this year, where the focus is on the slow build, the journey, where filters ebb and flow, layers creep to the front then withdraw, where the percussion is hypnotic and the synths repetitive, and the melody draws the listener in with its subtlety, rather than a crass fanfare. It’s either early night material for big trance rooms, or peak time material for intelligent progressive floors – spun by DJ’s who know how to work a room. This is what progressive trance music is all about.

Making a slam dunk with this magnificent joint venture, Andrew Rayel brings his hard-hitting sound to Armind again. He keeps on putting out gargantuan smashes, and has now joined forces with Digital X and angelic songstress Sylvia Tosun to continue along those lines. ‘Winterburn’ is simply a pounding piece of Trance music, and its mesmerizing breakdown and hulking synths will never be forgotten.

In perhaps the most time-honored tradition in 20+ years of event theme history, this November sees Markus Schulz deliver Transmission its 2017 night-defining anthem. First marking his ambassadorship of the Prague-based arena colossus with ‘The New World’ back in 2008, this year’s composition represents Markus’ ninth consecutive Transmission theme in as many years.

2017’s theme also serves a dual role, as ‘The Spirit Of The Warrior’ dovetails into Markus 2017 Dakota spectacular, ‘The Nine Skies’. Through his audiovisual undertaking, Schulz has embraced a unique musical, spiritual path to enlightenment throughout the year. Forming an integral piece of this journey, ‘The Spirit Of The Warrior’ represents the fourth trailblazing single (or ’Sky’) ahead of the project’s upcoming album. 

Musically, through dramatically drawn strings, big orchestral drums, majestic symphonic supporting instrumentation and laser-lit synths, Markus again encapsulates the sense of spectacle and occasion that is Transmission.
