Empire Of Hearts

Empire Of Hearts (Johann Stone Remix)

Gaia - Empire Of Hearts

BEAUTY – Kairi’s Black Core I & II
Two bodies of sound forged in pressure and darkness.
Hard industrial techno carved from silence and stone — a pulse born in gravity.
No melody, no mercy — only compression, density, and motion.
When the meteor hits, rhythm becomes law.
This is the core of Kairi: raw, mechanical, infinite.

Vicious, forceful, and keen on worldwide dance floor domination. MaRLo has conjured heaps of heart-wrenching singles and elation-heavy tunes before, but this one is something different entirely. Judging by the punchy kick drums, thumping bassline, and MaRLo’s distinct and pulsating Tech Energy sound, we can conclude one thing only. Welcome to the ‘Darkside’, MaRLo!

Oh, what a meteoric rise it’s been. Supported by a number of timeless, highly-acclaimed, and devastating tracks, the mysterious cloaked duo known only as ‘Gaia’ managed to convert so many of the Trance enthusiasts to their way of thinking, their way of life, and their way of music. But although such a legacy must be cherished, that doesn’t mean one cannot strengthen it any further. 

Hand-picked by Armin van Buuren himself to be the first instant gratification of his mint ‘A State Of Trance 2016’ compilation, ‘Inyathi’ leads the charge on the rest of the global crowds in an attempt to reel them in to its side with stomping beats and soul-nourishing melodies. What started with ‘4 Elements’ and saw its fire re-lit through ‘Tuvan’ picked up pace through magical creations such as ‘Empire Of Hearts’ and ‘Carnation’, only to continue the rampage through ‘Inyathi’. Expect a true dance floor stampede whenever this one hits.

Since the first issue of the A State Of Trance compilation in 2004, nothing else heralded the biggest tunes of the year better than the annual series did and still does. And even now, in 2016, it has yet to find its match, all the while more and more people get themselves clued-up by means of the carefully selected tracklist.

Curated by long-time Trance titan and genre pioneer Armin van Buuren, ‘A State Of Trance 2016′ underlines how far it has come and how extraordinary the journey has been. No other genre in the world has remained so steadily beloved by its loyal fans, and no other compilation series has been so deeply engraved in the hearts of its fans as A State Of Trance.

As many expected beforehand, the flag-bearers of Trance are all present in this symbol of unbridled love and passion for music. Comprising no less than 39 gems as a set of awe-inspiring exclusives and well-known masterpieces alike, ‘A State Of Trance 2016′ spotlights magical creations such as Omnia – ‘Alien’, Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor – ‘Floyd’, Estiva – ‘Power Core’, and Manse’s remix of Armin van Buuren feat. Bullysongs – ‘Freefall’ among devastating floor smashers such as Super8 & Tab – ‘Mega’, David Gravell – ‘Stay Awake’, Gaia – ‘Inyathi’, and Bryan Kearney & Christina Novelli – ‘By My Side’.

Hitting the world on the same day as the mighty, Dutch kick-start of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Embrace’ world tour, ‘A State Of Trance 2016′ brings the world what few can offer. A strong legacy, a genre-defining experience, and more than enough mind-blowing tunes to last you a lifetime.
