Following up his 2013 TSR release eMeltwater, Simon Templar - one half of Finnish duo Winkee - returns to Touchstone with another two part release. eTo The Stars is trance music of the highest order. ePt. 1 sets the tone, with rich layers of arpeggiated bass, sweeping pads and a huge cascading synth riff which builds relentlessly throughout the track. Unusually for tracks of this genre, there is no traditional breakdown at all, instead Templar moves the arrangement through twists and turns, locking people in a tight groove on the dancefloor. As if that were not enough, the +10 minute colossus that is ePt. II takes things deeper, with crunchy tribal percussion and washes of ethereal FX, crescendos of compressed pads, percussive hits and an understated lead riff. This is serious late-night, powerful, heads-down trance music.

Hazem Beltagui - You Before Me out now on Coldharbour
Download/Stream: http://coldharbour.choons.at/youbeforeme

One of the most versatile producers across the trance music spectrum today is Hazem Beltagui; a quality he demonstrates in abundance with the beautifully tender piece "You Before Me".

Having made his Coldharbour bow by remixing Markus Schulz and JES' Calling for Love, You Before Me quickly became earmarked by the former as an important cog in his In Search of Sunrise 14 entry. 

Dazzling listeners of that compilation and Global DJ Broadcast listeners alike, You Before Me's gentle beginnings gather momentum as the emotions increase; stirring the nerves no matter the season or setting. 

A track for the thinker, You Before Me will sweep you away.
