It’s only five months into the year, but 2011 has already marked a revolutionary epoch in the career of Holland’s Alex O’Rion. In that time it’s seen him sign with one of the UK’s foremost DJ agencies, successfully initiate his new radio show/podcast and become head of A&R for Black Hole’s Terminal 4 label. He’s also turned loose the Green and Blue EPs, which form the leading edge of his impressive, wide-scope debut album, “The Bigger Room”.

O’Rion’s unique audio equation first caught the attention of the world’s top-tier of DJs through early audio like “Release the Beast” and “A Box of Fluffy Ducks”. Encouraged from the start by the musically likeminded Richard Durand, he began to lay the foundations for his first long-player and the end result of that building process is released on the 30th of May.

Alex has created 15 tracks to form “The Bigger Room”. Using complex, cutting edge sounds, FX and arrangements, the album is a dynamic longplayer and one that belies his tenderfoot tag. Knowingly multi-toned, O’Rion’s music vibrantly crossbreeds progressive, tech and melodic trance with shades of house, electro and other EDM variants.

“The title is my ‘statement of intent’”, says Alex. “I want to make music that’ll really find its place in larger and larger spaces. To achieve this I concentrate on condensing as many effects as possible, into the audio. I think they combine to ‘fill’ every corner of dance space that they’re played in – all in order to create the ‘bigger room’ effect.”

The album starts in the progressive foothills with the cool-heeled “Dragons for Breakfast”, the moody, atmosphere-packed “Jabberwocky” and the evocative, chiming, almost fairytale-like “Changing Pace”. “Craters of the Moon”, “Jellyfish”, “Stargeezer”, “Gobsmacked” and “Jumper” start to progressively squeeze on the accelerator pedal. Charting a melodic and then euphoric style curve, it adds harmonic sequences, higher paced tempos and ultimately soaring aerodynamic chords and synths to the album’s sound cache.

For his first album Alex has made a point of collaborating with other artists in various different capacities. While not a mainstay, when vocals emerge on ‘Bigger Room’, they carry heavy impact. “Who I Am Today” (featuring the moody, captivating vocals of Cornelis van Dijk) is purpose-built for radio and hints heavy at crossover potential. “Crystal” meanwhile sees him team up with Richard Durand for a track that plays off tech and house themes, while his remixes of Phunklife’s “Maniac Psycho” and Tempo Giusto’s “Metropolitan” tread even further still down those paths.

01. Introduction
02. Dragons For Breakfast

Long has the latest tune of Mark Sixma making been kept as an ID. And equally long, has it been loved by the crowds. One of the most outstanding tunes of the Universal Religion Chapter 7 album, is Mark Sixma’s ‘Character’.

One of the best kept producer secrets, is Mark Sixma. No matter which style he handles, he handles it well. Whether that be house, prog or trance, the Sixma sound knows how to incorporate all of them. 

Pleasing the trancers this time, is the mighty ‘Character’. With a recognizable hook and melody, an outstanding break and drive that mesmerizes, it should be no surprise that Ibiza’s Privilege was completely taken away by it. 

The same will go for any club it’ll meet.

3. Richard Durand Remix 
4. Craving Remix 
5. Thomas Coastline Remix 

Alex O’Rion presents his new single “Craters Of The Moon” on the Black Hole Recordings imprint. 

The recent release of Alex O’Rion’s artist album “The Bigger Room” harvested an enormous amount of positive response from all four corners of the globe and soon discussions started on what the best new single taken from the album would be. “Craters Of The Moon” finally saw the light of day. Prepare yourself for a highly melodic and extremely uplifting trancer with clear references to the synthesizer heroes from back in the days. It’s just one of those trademark Alex O’Rion productions that will work perfectly in a multiple hour live set. The progressive style build up of the track subtly piles up layers of crips synth and string programming until the melody sets in. From that moment on, the dance floor will be packed to the brim. 

The remixes bring a wide variety of styles. Alex himself returned to his own original to rework it into a techy, almost Kraftwerk style version. Brother Richard Durand takes things up a notch and delivers a truly banging tech trancer. The Craving Remix is a bit faster in BPM and will work perfectly in the big rooms and last but not least we have Thomas Coastline, who brings a superb trance version with a hint of old skool in it. “Craters Of The Moon” is ready to rock!
