Just caught an interview with Gabriel and Dresdon  with Twan Van Loon from the Netherlands about this track

peak trance for me when this released ✌️✌️

In 2004, We released a mix compilation on Nettwerk Records called "Bloom" - it was a 2 disc affair which included some of our favorite songs we were playing in our sets along with our newest tracks and remixes. 

Once we had most of the songs compiled, we felt like the compilation was missing something. Something that "took you there" but also with a bit of soul and real instruments. 

So one day, on a lark, Josh decided to pick up his Fender Jazz bass and start playing some stuff. Dave immediately loved what Josh was playing and implored him to record what he was doing so it would not be lost in the ether of "great ideas never recorded."

What happened next was pretty incredible. We started building this song layer by layer. By the end of that day, we pretty much had it finished. A couple days of tweaks and it was done. 

We were so over the moon that we had made a song in such a short period of time that we didn't know what to call it. Enter Dave's realtor, Carol Robbiano, who was showing him a house on Arcadia Avenue in Oakland, CA. While driving to see the house, Dave played her the song. She suggested we name it "Arcadia" if Dave ended up liking the property. 

in 2005, we decided to start our own label called "Organized Nature" and we knew immediately that "Arcadia" would be our first release. For the single we updated a couple of things, re-mixed it to sound bigger and fatter and added a swing-y house beat. So the version of "Arcadia" on the "Bloom" compilation is technically a demo.

Label press release:
"Something stunning here from one of the modern trance scene’s founding fathers; Orkidea. Higher State is designed for the clubs; the sparse and percussion-led production lends itself perfectly to a finely tuned sound-system. Tapio’s signature sound and style is firmly in place; gritty, filtered synth stabs, a sprinkling of glittering arpeggios, hypnotic rhythms and ethereal vocals all play their part in this DJ-friendly Pure Trance master class."

My new single 'Forward Forever' is out now. This is really special one for me because the title defines the whole ethos of electronic music culture to me: "Forward Forever, Backwards Never".

The track has been premiered at A State of Trance, Dreamstate USA, Transmission and Luminosity and people always seem to go crazy and ask what the track was.

Out now in Beatport, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and all other music services. Hope you enjoy and feel free to spread the love and share the track if you like it <3
