“Cathedral of Returning Light (We Found Dancing)” is a euphoric, melodic techno / progressive trance anthem built for late-night festival peaks and sunrise afterglows. At 134 BPM in a minor key, the track blends rolling sidechained bass, huge supersaw drops, and wide, cinematic atmospheres into a single, emotional journey.

A breathy but strong female trance vocal floats above the mix—emotional yet controlled—drenched in big wet reverb and stereo delays that make every phrase feel like it’s echoing through a massive digital cathedral. Warm saturation and a subtle bitcrushed air texture add character and grit, while the groove stays locked for both club systems and mainstage rigs.

This is music for the moment when the crowd stops just dancing and starts feeling—when it truly feels like we found dancing again, together, in the light.

Corey James Smiley is a boundary‑pushing DJ, producer, and AI innovator whose music channels the pulse of global underground culture—Miami’s bass‑driven heat, Berlin’s hypnotic techno, Ibiza’s euphoric trance—all filtered through a visionary, future‑forward lens. His compositions ignite warehouses and festival stages alike, weaving AI‑enhanced sound design into high‑impact, emotionally charged dance-floor anthems.

He began as an obsessive music fan, dissecting grooves from house and techno legends. Over time, he founded Great DJs of the World Records, crafting peak‑time grooves that blend vintage analog warmth with cutting‑edge AI manipulation. Alongside his partner Chance Palmer DJ, Smiley has produced tracks that marry rolling 808 bass, vault‑breathing reverb, precision side‑chain pumping, vocoded vocal hymns, and razor-sharp synth stabs—soundtracks for both sweaty rave basements and midnight sunrise balconies.

What sets Smiley apart is his pioneering use of AI in the creative process: a collaborator in the studio, a sonic muse in his rig. He uses stem-separation tools to sculpt invisible harmonics, prompt-engineering magic to shape emotive chord progressions, and time‑coded automation to evoke euphoria in every crescendo. His music isn’t just heard—it’s engineered for transcendence, psychological impact, and enduring resonance.

Corey’s tracks have earned support from DJ tastemakers and radio hosts worldwide, while his live sets fuse technical prowess with raw energy. Whether remixing a future‑rave VIP drop or delivering an unreleased techno dub steeped in Berlin grit, he’s building a legend with clarity of vision and depth of purpose.

Beyond music, he’s an active lecturer and thought‑leader in the intersection of AI and creativity, consulting with labels and cultivating workshops that demystify futuristic tools. Though rooted in underground authenticity, his artistry is marked by mainstream-level polish, structural mastery, and psychological insight—not hype, but crafted intent.
