Trance Action Recordings welcomes a new artist too their roster going by the name of ‘Sumatra’. 
His first offering is a Progressive Trance track, which is a departure from our usual releases, but we were so impressed by this tune we felt we could not let it escape us.
His influences include Tinlicker, Ben Bohmer and of course Above & Beyond. 
So without further ado please welcome ‘Sumatra’.

Sumatra - Just Want To Give - Demo

I enjoy writing and producing Trance & Electronic music.

Started out playing guitar at the age of 11......Played in various bands...Rock,Blues mainly.
After hearing Kraftwerk and seeing them live at Brixton academy I really got into all things electronic and have been writing all sorts of electronic music since the mid 80's.

"Logical Steps .... My favourite track of 2010" 
- Andrew Morrison, Dandelion Radio 


"I was delightfully surprised by the quality of music on his debut album "The Next Logical Step" and I was astounded at why this artist was so underrated and immediately decided I would give him the positive exposure he deserves." 
- Zaneta Ortiz, Electronic Nightlife (Aug 25, 2010) 

"Techno electronics are supported by rapid-fire e-perc, creating pop tunes that possess an appealing dance factor." 
- Matt Howarth, Sonic Curiosity (Jul 20, 2010) 


"The finest session featured on my show .... Turn the F***er up" 
- Andrew Morrison, Dandelion Radio (Apr 01, 2010)


"The track Logical Steps, Welcome To My World, Forever, and Lemon Drop have an infectious groove while X-Ray Soup, and Analyze have a trancy dance floor vibe." 
- Zaneta Ortiz, Electronic Nightlife (Aug 25, 2010) 

"These compositions are lively and engaging. Patterns and riffs established, then tickled into subtle variations as each song progresses, adding new layers and diving off in fresh directions." 
- Matt Howarth, Sonic Curiosity (Jul 20, 2010)

'If I was going to produce music then this is the sort of music I would love to produce.'
