<3 My Favourites: Trance-Classics

Daphni - ye ye

Outside the window the flowers were beginning to bloom. She loved this time of year, not quite blazing heat but warm enough to spend the days outside in the garden, surrounded by the roses and daffodils. She inhaled deeply, taking in the sweet smell that permeated the air; it was fresh, familiar, comforting. Nature always helped to ground her; it was the best medicine. 

A new label has been born in The Hague. Started as a platform to give electronic music from the 90s a second life, return_backspace begins with a look at the work of Bern-based Italian producer Marco Repetto. Made up of nine tracks, split across a trilogy of EPs, the release shines a light on his early compositions under the moniker planet love. Crafted during a period where atari-sequencing was widely used, the music bears a naivety that came with producing at the time, and sees Repetto layer synth stabs, warm basslines and crisp percussion over dreamy soundscapes.

Despite possible negative connotations with our name, we in fact draw our inspiration from an ancient spiritual Britain. Our aim is to make a positive association with an old name and promote the unity of all.
Long ago the Union Jack banner was created as a representation of something positive for this nation. Let go of the negative feelings about our history. It was the past, this is the future – There Will Be No Armageddon.

Union Jack - Red Herring [Original Mix]

First Release by Jeremy Greenspan for Jiaolong Records.

Crown Princess

Tessellate is back for a second round and this time they are bringing out some heat from Turkey via Aleksandir. The A side features two club ready tracks, starting with a euphoric and emotional journey by the name of Yamaha. Following that Belgium’s Asa Moto slow things down and provide a wild and trippy acidic remake of the original. 
 
Flip the record over and you’ve got yourself some heavy chillers. Dreams is a really dreamy (!) piece of work that is guaranteed to leave you relaxed. Friend of Tessellate Seb Wildblood steps up next to do what he does best and provide a lovely remix of the og. Finally we close things off with deeptrak, which as the name suggests is a deep track.
