Tunes Of The Week 46

This song is one of my favorites from the new album "A Song Across Wires". I wrote this track on acoustic instruments (guitar, a six string fretted cello I had built that's like a bass or baritone equivalent of the viola de gamba, glockenspiel and others). Tydi and I worked together on the track (beats and bass) over email and eventually in person. We had a blast in the studio on this and eventually the culmination of these efforts was sent in a rough state to the country artist Plumb.

She wrote a wonderfully simple and catchy vocal. We worked with this vocal for a while and it became apparent after some time that her management and representatives had a different idea about what this song should be and what it should be for so we began looking for new singers (still bummed about this, Plumb is a great artist).

Enter Tanya Zygar. She is friends with Tydi and we sent her the track and she wrote a beautiful verse melody. I sang a multi-track chorus top line and sent it back to her. We went back and forth with iterations of lyrics and eventually settled on a nautical theme (which I love). Stem the Tide is an expression originally used to mean that a ship was sailing against the tide fast enough to make headway over the ground or to move faster than the tide in the opposite direction. 

I spend about a week after all this doing vocal editing, glitching and comping and eventually laid the vocal into the final mix.

All said and done, this song probably took in work hours the better part of 2 months. I worked on in in Logic 6.43 on a 24bit PT rig (OS9), OS X Logic 7 and 9, Live 8 and 9 and was stem printed from Logic 9. 

My favorite thing about it is the acoustic instruments playing in tandem to the analog synths, plugins and glitch elements. Very proud to share this one with you.

Hazem Beltagui & Aneym - Remember Me ***TUNE OF THE WEEK*** [ASOT679] [OUT NOW!]

Out on Beatport October 6th 2014

We welcome Denis Kenzo back on his home label, fresh from his releases on Armin's very own Armind label and this time he joins Jilliana Danise from Holland for ''Will Be Forever''. Jilliana who is being hailed as one of the sweetest new voices in trance has enjoyed an amazing debut this year with “This Time” along side Philippe el Sisi &amp; Abstract Vision, with the Wach remix being played 5 times on ASOT and featured on Armin’s ASOT Ushuaia 2014 CD. With talk of this ''This Time'' being in the top vocal trance releases of 2014, we are more than excited to bring you the follow up ''Will Be Forever'' with Denis Kenzo who again has blown us away with his typical big room melodic sensational sound!

Denis Kenzo has been carving out a solid name for himself as he builds the platforms to step up to the big time, and with his music being supported not only by Armin but by all the big players in the scene incl. Markus Schulz, Cosmic Gate, BT etc, it wont be too long before everyone knows the name of this incredible Russian talent. Denis shows his multitude of skills in two very different mixes, the original mix in his euphoric dream trance sound and the other a more filthy big room progressive sound complete with dubstep style fx and and plenty of side-chained synth seduction.

Vocal bliss right here for total dance floor domination!

On the list of things well worth waiting for… a high contender would have to be the very first studio album from Heatbeat. Over the years, they’ve shown time and again that they are destined for the big leagues and production fame.

It was about time. What better moment than right now for Heatbeat to string together the creative energy flowing from their brains into a long-lasting, artistic work that they could be proud of for years to come? It was time for an album that fans around the world could call their own — a true 'Global Monster’.

You can find the wide range of Heatbeat styles and influences in here, bridging the gaps between electro, progressive, trance, and even dubstep. The tune ‘Aerys’ has been played by Armin van Buuren at virtually every major show since its release, and upcoming singles ‘Berserker’, ‘Bloody Moon’, and ‘Secret’ featuring Quilla on vocal duties will dominate dance floors in the months to come.

With this album, Heatbeat fans everywhere get what they’ve always been wanting, and the boys from Argentina further solidify their unwavering position in the global scene. Are you ready for this ‘Global Monster’?

Paul Thomas & Chris Bekker - Zoundz (Intention Mix)

Vitodito blasts his way back onto the Infrasonic imprint once more, continuing his 2014 success story with another fine electronic masterpiece. This time around itâ€™s a stellar vocal offering from the rising star in the form of â€˜Saltyâ€™.

The original is a lush fusion of the typical slick Vitodito bass line and killer percussion combo, with a neat groove and lush vocal sitting on top of it all; Vitiodito comes up with the goods as always.

On the flip Solid Stone drops in with an essential progressive alternative, oozing with lush summer vibes, the mix will effortlessly lift your spirits and immediately set you on a high. Thanks to the pinpoint arrangement and masterful production, the remix rounds out the release in style. Do not miss!

Download here: 
 
You will be enchanted by this brand new release called ‘Ashamed’ on the In Trance We Trust imprint. Who wouldn't by a collaboration of two unique DJ’s like Yves De Lacroix and John Evans together with South-African songstress Lokka Vox. ‘Ashamed’ is an anthem-like trancer with Lokka Vox’s vocals beautifully woven through almost the entire track.
The wonderful Fabio XB has given the track completely his own spin, with a sound very suitable for the big stadiums. The Get Far and Lenny Mendy remix has a more drumming rhythm than the original. Trance lovers will definitely love ‘Ashamed’ and its remixes!
