The new album ‘100 Reasons To Live’ is OUT NOW! http://smarturl.it/100RTL

I wrote this track in numerous locations in and around the Joshua Tree National part in California, USA, as part of a feature with Magnetic Magazine where I went 'Off The Grid'. The magazine sent me to a series of super-remote locations without mobile phone service or internet with nothing other than my laptop and music making software to see how it inspired the creative process.

I hope you like it. If you're interested to see the creative process that went into producing the track, you can watch the Off The Grid series below:

Cape Town, South Africa -- for some, it's one of the most remote locations on earth, practically the stuff of legends. For Nate Raubenheimer, the tip of the southernmost African country is home. Armin van Buuren has said of the man, "Everything he touches turns to musical gold." Really, there can be no stronger endorsement, nor can there be a statement more accurate.

His is a classic tale -- inspired at the age of 8, it wasn't long before his life's journey led him to audio engineering school, and ultimately, to the largest festivals in the world. Protoculture's fans are filled with an almost feverish adoration, the kind of hard-earned reputation that only someone with genuine talent can enjoy. Success hasn't been all roses for the producer, however, as his hometown is one of the worst spots to travel from for an internationally touring DJ.

'Music Is More Than Mathematics' is an appropriate title for this exceptional album, and there's absolutely no formula for what Protoculture does. If "awesome" could be bottled into a jar, it would be this record. Finding better descriptors is as pointless as trying to compete with his musical talents. 
Even though each record radiates the artist behind the controls, Protoculture was able to attract talented producers, songwriters, and vocalists to help realize this record. Christian Burns, Johnny Yono, Max Graham, Jennifer Rene, and Tricia McTeague are some of the multitalented collaborators that made 'Music Is More Than Mathematics' possible, and their respective contributions seem to come at the precise time they're needed in this musical journey.

Certain albums defy conventional logic, and certain sounds are so transcendental that it's hard to see "trance" as anything but the right term. This is a special release, and one that covers as much territory as Protoculture's frequent trips around the globe.

001.. The beginning of a new adventure..

It may come as a surprise to some, that in 2014, Armada Music appears to be making its first foray into a chill compilation. After all, Armada tunes have been essential to countless chill-out compilations for over a decade. Ever since the Gabriel & Dresden Chill Mix of Motorcycle's 'As the Rush Comes' first took over the world, the record label has produced a constant string of tracks and remixes that have found their way to relaxing locations around the globe. And now, overflowing with talent and tunes, the time has come to give each special song a new home.

From the soul-wrenching instrumentation of Michael St. Laurent's 'All Gone', to Moe Turk's jazz-infused opener, to a couple of spaced-out beauties courtesy of Rodg, the only unifying factor in this compilation is exquisite, blissful calm. One of the breakaway tracks from the compilation comes from rising Parisian talent KRONO, who deliver a powerful hit with Amsterdam vocalist Cimo Fränkel - 'Sweet Goodbye' is already making waves, and it's a force to be reckoned with.

Familiar, yet bold and new, the tone of this double mix compilation is one of over-arching beauty and deep relaxation. Pooling together dozens of exceptional tracks spanning a wide tempo range, Armada Chill 001 presents the genre as it should be - effortless and powerful.

Life on the road is a truly unique experience. While globetrotting, one gets to experience a different cross-section of life in each passing city and with every person met. It was from his tours and travels around the world that Antillas drew inspiration for his solo album 'Human Frames'.

Antillas wanted every song on this album to be like a still frame - a moment in time that captures all of the different people, artists, and experiences he's encountered while on the road and which somehow struck and enriched him, all seen through his eyes. If one had to pick one word to describe 'Human Frames', it would be "eclectic". A cursory glance at the tracklist reveals an exceptional array of different vocalists, collaborators, and musical influences. The scope of the album is impressive, and every style between large-venue trance anthems, big-room bass, dubstep, and progressive house is covered.

On the vocal side, Antillas enlisted heavyweights such as Christian Burns, Lady V, Chris Madin, Jenson Vaughan, and Fiora, who each offer their very own touch to this record. Together with his studio partner Dankann, Antillas brings several massive tunes aimed squarely at the dance floor.

With 18 breathtaking songs, 'Human Frames' is an outstanding achievement. By the time you listen to the acoustic version of 'They Took It All' (with Anki's stunning voice), you'll understand what a journey this album must have been. Different frames —all handpicked and glued together by Antillas.

Andrew Rayel has positioned himself to be one of the most influential producers in the trance game. That's a lot of pressure for an ordinary person, but then again, Andrew Rayel is far from ordinary. Achieving more before his 20th birthday than many do in their entire lives, it was about time for the young talent to show what he could really do in an album.

Taking his cues from the legends before him, 'Find Your Harmony' is constructed like an impenetrable tank - everything about this record is designed to fit right in with the upper crust of trance albums.

A quick glance through the credits of this record, and you'll see that just about every tune is a solo effort from Rayel. The fact that he can produce such a large volume of massive tunes without any help whatsoever is a feat in and of itself, but when he teams up with Armin for the instantly recognizable 'EIFORYA', the record kicks into an even higher gear.

Exceptional vocalists join the young prodigy, such as: Christian Burns, Jonathan Mendelsohn, Alexandra Badoi,Sylvia Tosun, Lira Yin, Jano, and Jwaydan. With this record, Andrew Rayel not only realizes the talent that's always been inside him - he also forever carves his place in trance history.

Lets Be a Cat

Text:
Verse 1
Breathe in the night,
Feel the ocean rise.
Shadows dissolve,
Under endless skies.

Chorus (Trance-style mantra)
Waves of light, carry me,
Endless time, set me free.
Heartbeats flow, harmony,
In this dream, eternity.

(solo)

Verse 2
Steps in the sand,
Echoes far away.
Voices of dawn,
Guide the break of day.

Chorus (repeated, layered with harmonies)
Waves of light, carry me,
Endless time, set me free.
Heartbeats flow, harmony,
In this dream, eternity.

(solo)

Bridge (Ambient spoken part, almost whispered)
Close your eyes…
The stars remember.
The sea is singing…
Forever, forever.

Final Chorus (long, with trance layering)
Waves of light, carry me,
Endless time, set me free.
Heartbeats flow, harmony,
In this dream, eternity…
