The dark of night still inspires the ever-rising talent of Omnia. Giving nocturnal adventures their warming glow, his sound continues to warm dance land. ‘Immersion’ is the long-awaited follow-up to ‘The Light’, ‘The Fusion’ and ‘Infina’. And yes, he does it again!

Ukraine has all reason to be proud. Their hero, the young but incredibly gifted Evgeny Smirnov, looks back upon a series of hits. Rocking the A State of Trance crowd and listeners is only just a small niche of the reach he has. Stretching further, bit by bit, he reaches out with ‘Immersion’. 

Putting a refreshing touch to a familiar and beloved sound that we’ve come to know so well, ‘Immersion’ brings the best of melody, energy and yes…a tad of mystery.

Brian Transeau: “When I’m making a record, it’s like pointillism in art. Literally – it’s dot by dot. Like a painter. I’m working on a molecular level.”

The legacy of a production wizard. The understanding of electronic dance music and all of its options. ‘A Song Across Wires’ is BT’s highly anticipated ninth studio album, and another highlight to admirers of the special spark that makes his sounds glow. Carrying 12 musical promises of the Grammy-nominated producer, including collaborations with tyDi, Adam K, Aqualung, Tritonal, JES and more, this is the future sound of 2013.

The official follow-up of the critically acclaimed ‘If The Stars Are Eternal So Are You And I’ and Grammy-nominated ‘These Hopeful Machines’, is an album that reconfirms Brian Transeau’s status as one of the most cutting edge artists both in and outside the EDM array. BT has left an indelible mark on electronic music and the technology and techniques that make it possible. The architect behind classics such as ‘Flaming June’, ‘Every Other Way’ and ‘Love Comes Again’, is the creator of the legendary Stutter Edit and has worked with the likes of Madonna, Britney Spears, Tori Amos, David Bowie, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Peter Gabriel and many more. It’s impossible to frame his experimental and genre-bending sounds, making ‘A Song Across Wires’ a real flight of the imagination.

‘A Song Across Wires’ is the accumulation of over 20 years of pioneering music and innovation in the dance music scene. Recognized as the godfather of trance and progressive house, this album is a return to his roots in many ways. From the intriguing soundscapes of ‘Skylarking’ and ‘Vervoeren’ to the vocal smashes of ‘Must Be The Love’, ‘Stem My Tide’, ‘Surrounded’ and much, much more. ‘A Song Across Wires’ is BT fulfilling his art.

Inspired by the twinkling lights of a promising future and the long nights of his prosperous DJ career, Shogun presents a new duo to keep us awake. He keeps the energy flowing, with the duo of ‘Drop’ and ‘Supernova’.

The first Shogun sounds of 2013 have landed. And what can we say? They’re absolute killers! With his daring ‘UFO’, the mesmerizing ‘Skyfire’ and warming ‘Amplify’ still in mind, the US based producer surprises with two massive new additions to an already star-studded line of releases. 

While ‘Drop’ starts off dreamy, it quickly evolves into a lean, mean floor sweeper with heavy distortion and a deep, dark bassline. ‘Supernova’ rides the same formula, though residing on the more trancy side of things. All shades of trance can be found in these two.

Taken from the 2012  debut album of Malta’s hottest duo, Tenishia, is their new E.P. on Soundpiercing. Bringing longevity to the ‘Memory of a Dream’ album, are the prog-trancy ‘Jaguar’ and ‘As We Speak’.

Joven Grech and Cyprian Cassar continue to live out their dream, travelling the globe to bring smiles upon the faces of ten-thousands of EDM fans. And not only through their sets, do they touch our hearts.

But also through their unrivalled productions, with the latest duo being the perfect example. ‘As We Speak’ walks the tender, proggy side of trance, while ‘Jaguar’ crawls right in before revealing its mysterious, trancy break. Two new additions to an impressive legacy.

A series of heavy-weight remixes for two of the biggest tunes of Faruk Sabanci making, ‘Awaken’ ft. Cami and ‘Wake Up’ ft. Josie. AVA Recordings welcomes 5 new talents on remix duties.

Known for his outstanding melodic touch, throbbing bass and perfect vocal fusion, Faruk Sabanci faces a bright future. But this time, it was up to the talents of other producers to show their worth.
‘Awaken’, the warm and emotional tune that came out a few months ago, now sees brand new translations by several talents. Polish producer Matt Bukovski does what he does best; redefining the tune with a steamy hot prog-trance sound. DJ Tarkan & V-Sag kept their focus on deep, proggy bass, while Zetandel pitched things down and brought out a classy Chill-Out interpretation.

‘Wake Up’, carrying the strong voice of Josie, was given a remix treatment by Mike Danis. The Hungarian talent brings out a full-blasting trance mix with a solid break. Sezer Uysal & Shingo Nakamura might be two names quite hard to remember, but we assure you that their remix for ‘Wake Up’ isn’t. A deep, pounding bass and proggy vibe is all it takes for their remix to hit right in where needed.

The Balearic spirit ever still present, it’s the emotional, powerful voice of Christian Burns that completes it.

According to Max Graham, he’s at the eve of his big breakthrough. When listening to his latest E.P., you know that he could very well be right. Steve Haines returns to Re*Brand, with the magnificent duo of ‘Charged’ & ‘Requiem’.

In times like these, nothing’s more difficult than to stand out. But to UK’s rising talent Steve Haines, that’s no problem. His new duo, the successors to ‘Airflow’ & ‘Motion’, walk the fine line of prog, house and trance, without pigeonholing any style. 

Both ‘Charged’ & ‘Requiem’ rush in, slow and steady but without hesitation.

A decade after its original release, a legendary prog-classic returned. Luke Chable & Danney Bonnici’s ‘Ride’ drove once more, finally getting its digital release in 2012. Now that its legend has struck the clubs again, two brand new remixes give it a fine 2013 upgrade. 

Dutch producers Olivier Weiter and Eelke Kleijn redefine the boundaries of tech-house and progressive, letting ‘Ride’ slide along the thin line of it.  A deep, punchy bassline and sweeping string intermezzo bring this classic right back to dance floor frenzy. 

The Canadian boys of Shiloh made a perfect combination to the proggy depth of ‘Ride’. Their warm flowing, melodic sound comes to life in their remix of this überclassic. Be ready to meet this baby on the dance floor, once more.

Should you ever wonder about the history of trance music, then remember this one: York – Farewell To The Moon. This 2000 classic now makes its retour to the dance floor, coming to you in three brand new versions. Enjoy the lush, dreamy sounds of York, given a 2013 upgrade!

In the early years of the millennium, one name constantly resounded. York, the project of German producer Torsten Stenzel. Known for his tracks ‘The Awakening’, ‘On The Beach’ and ATB collab ‘The Fields Of Love’, the Antigua based producer also brought the unrivalled classic of ‘Farewell To The Moon’. Its Club Mix makes you wonder off to warm sandy beaches, moving to a Balearic tide. It’s melodic, pure and takes you in completely.

Russian producer Alexander Popov handled his remix duty with great care, providing a playful and deep proggy version with an outstandin g break. The boys of Digital Element and Alen focussed on break-beat, toying around with its guitar. ‘Farewell To The Moon’ is on a re-run, and we’re making sure you hear it.

2013 brings a new dawn for Aly & Fila. After months of hard work, the Egyptian duo finally reveals a first piece of the upcoming album, the long-awaited follow-up to ‘Rising Sun’. Time to be intrigued, by the deep, warm ‘Running Out Of Time’ featuring Chris Jones.

This year will be all about musical surprises. Without ever letting down their beloved trance following, Aly & Fila set a new musical course, finalizing their new album. Through ‘Running Out Of Time’, they give us a sneak preview of what’s to be expected. And by doing so, they raise high expectations.

‘Running Out of Time’ features the distinct voice of UK singer Chris Jones, who’s previously worked with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Roger Shah and Ali Wilson. Together, they present a gentle-flowing tune, driven by guitar, that comes in an original mix and much mor e trancy Uplifting mix. Future’s looking bright!

If anything binds the tangle of styles that rock Orjan Nilsen’s productions, it’s energy. And there’s plenty of that served on his new one. The second single of his upcoming album is the shiny, big-room loaded ‘Violetta’!
Hot off the dark shaded ‘No Saint Out Of Me’, the Norwegian producer sets the tone with another 7 minute work of art. The pre-taste of what awaits us of his second artist album, the follow-up to the successful ‘In My Opinion’, is more than promising. It’s unlike any of his previous works, yet carries that unmistakable Nilsen sound. 

Building at a right speed, rapidly unfolding its melodic character and kicking in right after its break. That’s what ‘Violetta’ is all about. Another tune that deserves the Armind halo on top.

You’ll get no better road-test than the biggest trance event in Europe. Premiered during his set at A State of Trance 600 in Den Bosch, Chris Schweizer presents the smashing duo of ‘Reflections’ and ‘Generation’.

A name on the rise. A talent on his way up. Chris Schweizer is the Argentinean producer whose sounds you’ll be meeting on the dance floor soon, if you haven’t already. Making a quick rise with the tunes of ‘One’, ‘Let’s Rock’, ‘Iris’ and the Tomas Heredia collab ‘Darksiders’, the Buenos Aires boy seems to have found the right groove.

Now making his grand debut on the ASOT label, he serves a set of tunes that can’t be pigeonholed. ‘Reflection’ has that techy flow and electro-driven sound that we’ve already come to know him for. ‘Generation’ beats any peak -timer, serving a melodic core that gets everyone in awe. Two strong additions to the quickly growing Schweizer discography.
