inspiration illumination invigoration ignition

the melodic build-up is so rare omg im... what the duck dude my guy u ara spectacularly sublime

Such a great moment on that pier this weekend.  Thank yoh for putting this together and creating a very special moment.

Mashup I made for my summer 2022 sunset gig in New York. We lived in NYC with my family that summer and I kept hearing acoustic version of Alicia Keys' classic Empire State Of Mind. When I played a special sunset gig in Brooklyn with The Aziman Tribe I got inspired to make a special version of it. I have loved the epic Eric Sun remix of Andy King's Hemisphere and thought these two pieces by three amazing artists would make a great combo. Here is the end result which I hope you will enjoy. Please share if you like it <3

Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind VS Andy King - Hemisphere (Eric Lune Remix) (Orkidea NYC Mashup)

After setting things alight with 'In Silence', 'Hold Onto This' and 'Changing Fast' on A State of Trance, Dutch duo Hel:sløwed make their grand debut on Armin van Buuren's Armind Recordings. On 'If You Only Knew', Michael de Kooker and Misja Helsloot employ their famed progressive sound for a brilliant vocal piece - featuring the platinum award-winning duo Amber Revival. Drenched in heartfelt emotion, ‘If You Only Knew’ brings a captivating blend of trance and melodic house/deep house that encapsulates the artists' musical evolution. With powerful lyrics, prestigious vocal allure, and the melancholy of sweet surrender, ‘If Only You Knew' hits the soul with surgical precision.

A personal note from Hel:sløwed:

In the world of music producers, there's always that one track where everything aligns perfectly—your past, present, and your vision for the future. "If You Only Knew" is that track for us. It's deep, melodic, and emotional, yet uplifting and inspiring. It takes you on a journey and then embraces and soothes you. This is a reflection of everything we've been doing as Hel:sløwed and the principles we hold dear - fun, freedom, open-mindedness, and acceptance.

We were fortunate to collaborate with the talented Netta and Arie of Amber Revival, and it's been nothing short of magical. Their vocals blend seamlessly with our instrumental, capturing the essence of the track brilliantly. The lyrics, the vocal performance, and the harmonious interplay between Netta and Arie.We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do and that it finds a special place in your playlists and sets. Your support means the world to us, and we can't wait for you to embark on this musical journey with us.With love from Misja and Michael from Hel:sløwed, and Netta & Arie from Amber Revival.
