♫ Rank 1 - Awakening (MaRLo Remix)
The original ‘Awakening’ from Dutch powerhouse pair Rank1 is taken from 2002’s ‘Symsonic’ album, with versions from Ferry Corsten and Cosmic Gate. The Amsterdam-Australian Altitude ringleader MaRLo is given the responsibility of blasting the remix into the ears of the next generation, and does so fast and furiously. Racing through the night with plenty of sting, allowing for brief shelter by returning the compliments of the breakdown, ‘Awakening’ is all-action with a capital A. As all of the original’s components climb to the top, trance’s golden era comes home to blow minds second time around.

RBX - SPACE

Face Machine inhabits the blurred threshold between the human and the synthetic, where identity becomes fluid and is constantly rewritten. Drifting between melodic techno, underground trance and electro-pop, the album unfolds like a network of unstable selves - mirrors folding into mirrors, names dissolving into signals. Vocals shift between male and female, merging with abstract textures until the human voice becomes something unbound, a mutable instrument suspended between body and machine. Each track carves its own passage through luminous, volatile atmospheres, yet all are tethered by a shared sonic architecture of detuned oscillators, layered melodic counterpoint, and synthesis timbres that breathe with organic motion.

These twelve tracks move through states of emergence and disappearance - memory scattering, identity refracting, presence dissolving into signal. Wordless chants, whispered fragments, and spectral harmonies drift like residues of selves that never fully arrive. Within this landscape, rhythm and texture intertwine: polyrhythmic layers build and collapse, melodic threads blur into complex harmonic tides, and shifting tonalities open portals into new emotional terrain. Face Machine doesn't offer resolution; instead, it lingers in the spaces where perception falters and technology reshapes what it means to exist. It is an album of thresholds and transformations - a meditation on how we become, lose, and reinvent ourselves in an age where even our voices can belong to someone, or something, else.
