Rave specialists OPIA Records mark release number 12 with “Trance & Dance” by Sentaku’s, Man/ipulate. A dusty nod of respect to the timeless sounds of the 90s with the five tracks sounding like unearthed gems rather than modern day productions.

The opening track “Flight” gives you an instant taste of what’s to come, driven by trance energy with a pure sense of euphoria, taking the dance floor into an otherworldly state. Cruise control is initiated with “It’s Not A Mindtrip”; the upwards journey continues within this hypnotic soundscape.

On the B side “WWA” is constructed upon clean broken drums, simmering throughout, never becoming carried away. “The Beat Club” is a raw and punchy encounter providing only feel-good energy from start to finish, pushing for the peak time moments. “Primary” rounds off this cohesive body of work with further innovative arrangements.

Man/ipulate has managed to capture the essence of the Trance era, drawing elements from the past and giving them a new lease of life via his sound. The OPIA camp is firing on all cylinders in 2022, with fresh new branding, a slew of releases ready to roll out, and a European tour firmly pencilled in their calendar.

After a little hiatus, we are pleased to welcome you to the 6th installment of the Un_Mute Cast.

Alex @alex-pastor has become a standout figure in Miami’s music scene, earning a residency at Un_Mute’s highly acclaimed party series. His sets are a testament to his dedication to digging for unique records and his natural instinct for what gets people dancing.

“I always want to make those weird selections, out of left field," Alex explains. "My philosophy for deejaying has always been playing music that makes you move at the same time as catching you off guard. For this mix, I started with a blend of spooky, driving records on the mental side and let it evolve into high-energy electro breaks. The BPM gradually increases as the vibe shifts from dancey to trippy, creating an immersive journey."
