The EP opens with X-RAY, a high-energy track that sets a powerful, dancefloor-ready tone. Ezateros combines deep percussive elements with evolving textures for a hypnotic journey, while Brown Rain layers melodic motifs over a steady, pounding rhythm to create tension and momentum.

Flying the flag for 138 trance in Spain is the uber talented Michael Kaelios.
This is an artist who puts out the highest of quality trance with an edge on

Fresh from a double feature on the latest VII compilation, we had to invite senor Kaelios to join the Kinected mission. 'Ascend' certainly does as the title suggests with a dynamic and driving bass groove, slamming percussion and melodic mastery in his synths!
