Amazing work mate ,,,beautiful track ,,WELL DONE !!!

Great song Simon! Really glad you won Ferry’s contest with this. It inspired me to push my music further (just a hobby for me, the Ferry contest for marked my first track ever--gotta start somewhere😀).  Well deserved #1...Keep up the great work!

The track that won the Ferry Corsten FaderPro Armada University demo contest! Not officially released but you get it first on Soundcloud! Please follow me also for new tracks!

Written during COVID times for those who are nostalgic for what they used to have and perhaps took forgranted and what they haven’t got now. There's also something for fans of more classic trance tunes as well, whilst making sure the old style blends with the new :)

The song was directly inspired by and uses some techniques from the Ferry Corsten FaderPro course (nearly 5 hours of studio production with one of the biggest trance legends ever) so if you're into producing, you should definitely look into it:

About this mix:
This (Revised Version) shares the same tracklist with (Original Version) & (Doonwest Version) both previously mixed by Doonwest using Ableton Live9. Unlike other versions, this (Revised Version) was live mixed & recorded in real time using Pioneer DDJ-SR Serato DJ controller 4-Decks enabled with different launched, mixed, cut points & 140 overall bpm...etc.

Behind trance scene:
Early 2013, severely struck by "nerve disorder syndrome" I could no longer spin records with one hand while the other constantly in sleep mode! Almost gave up DJing until Serato DJ initially introduced to me by our young dj friend whom I met offline. Thanks to DJ Szabo & thanks to Serato DJ! One handed DJing is possible! Although, both hands are essentially needed for knobs, buttons...etc, on controller/mixing console!

Production notes:
Most tracks used in this mix digitally captured from analog sources. Some hijacked from mixed cds (Don't tell anyone!) All newly remastered for mixing & recording. Noise, pops, hiss heavily removed during remastering process! Mixed, recorded in 16bit/48k/1,536kbps. Recently mastered in 16bit/48k using CloudBounce Desktop app with the following mastering specs:
Mastering style: Techno, 100% matching
Mastering options: Neutral EQs, Stereo Widening, Loudness -12.5LUFS

My Preferences:
Live perform & record my sets.
No headphones, no cueing, no looping, filters only used when necessary!
Channels faders rarely used except for tracks loading or pulling Paul Van Dyk's stunts...etc,
Hi, Mid freq knobs used for channels fading in/out
Cross fader permanently duct tapped 30 years ago! :o)

Simon Leon is a progressive and vocal trance producer from Australia, based out of London, UK.

His latest releases 'Haunted' with Christina Novelli and Daniel Kandi, as well as 'Friends Apart' hit #11 and #16 on Beatport Trance Top 100 respectively. A magical mix on the latest 'In Search of Sunrise 18' compilation incorporates soaring melodic vibes with 'The Slow Dusk'. A beautiful vocal trance track with Alexandra Badoi 'Would You' has seen 600k+ Spotify streams. His submission won the Ferry Corsten demo contest: https://www.armadamusic.com/university/contests/ferry-corsten-demo-contest

Classically trained in piano for over 20 years, trance music was a welcome escape from rigorous playing, performance and study during his teens in the late 90s and early 2000's, and later on during working life in the 2010's. This trance project is a 20 year dream in the making and Simon hopes to introduce you to his brand of lyrical melodies, rich harmonies and emotional expressiveness. 

Simon is an avid supporter of great music and to the extent possible, has been and will continue to support talented artists out there directly or via Patreon, Twitch etc.

Welcome and enjoy :)
