For DRKTK, XianZai decided to go in the slower realms of trance music and explore the groovy and hypnotic rhythms of the electronic spectrum.
Inspired by the industrial and old-school trance parties, this piece captures the subtle poetry of the dark city streets, the dim lights that shine through cathedral glass, and the gatherings that take place in warehouses. XianZai always aims to surprise the listener with each piece released, and we are pretty sure that this one will be a treat for all!.

The man stared. Five crystal cubes were melting in a pool of fire as his eyes widened with joy. The flames towered over him in response to his sacrifice, pushing his tired body to the ground. He had been trapped in these woods for an eternity, scouring the dirt for five powerful artifacts in desperate attempts for knowledge. Ancient legends had led his soul on a path towards almost certain insanity, but finally his journey ended under the roars of an ancient portal covered in vines. The cubes disappeared into the earth and the flames vanished. Above, the moon shattered the darkness around him with a shining, welcoming light. From the glistening doorway, he emerged with a powerful grin.

The thick forest around them glowed violently, laughing and chanting as the ritual commenced. The strange figure leaned towards the adventurer and chattered frequencies into the air, creating a brilliant symphony of pure, passionate sound. As the trees danced amongst the birth of new vibrations, the powerful being reached out his hand and said, “come, let me take you on a journey”.

You, reader, listener, and friend, are that traveler. Here, you will discover the unknown, expanding your mind with incredibly engulfing sound worlds. The opportunity that lies before you is the result of extreme dedication and hard work from a talented and unique individual. If you take the time to listen, you will gladly want to stay in this incredible, new reality. Close your eyes or get up and dance, a completely different experience awaits…
