Sternstunde, as its name suggests, is testament to a producer staying the course. Not letting motivation, or a lack of, get the better of you. A defining moment. Written during a difficult lockdown period, Sternstunde's melody suddenly came together for German artist Solee. It was the catalyst, not only for completing the tune, but also for a stream of new found inspiration.

That same melody was also the hook for Joris Voorn. 'The moment I heard Sternstunde for the first time I recognised beauty in its simplicity.' It soon became a firm favourite for the Spectrum boss, but as with many of his faves he went to work with his scalpel and wizardry, crafting an edit for his sets that takes the track to a new dimension. 'I decided to make an edit that let the melody be more present than the drums. Over the months of playing it I've received so many requests for it to be played at my future shows, so it felt like a good idea to release it.'

A special request. A defining moment. Sternstunde.

Grigoré makes his SPECTRUM debut with a remake of Push's 'Strange World'

It's a brave artist that sets their sights on remaking a true 'Classic', from any genre. Productions that are steeped in history. A soundtrack to millions of personal moments across a myriad of global dancefloors, headphones and stereos. Music that means so much to so many. Some will actively avoid it, while others have always dreamt of adding their signature to a monument.

Push 'Strange World' is undoubtedly considered a Trance classic. Originally released on Bonzai back in 2000, it was immediately overshadowed by M.I.K.E. Push's own '2000' Remake from the same package. The golden era (arguably) for the genre was coming to a close and whilst previous years had seen a slew of historic hits there was still room for more. 'Strange World' with its spine-tingling and unforgettable melody, breakbeat-driven breakdown and the epic finale is still considered one of the very best.

Diynamic and This Never Happened artist, Grigoré, showed no fear when he set out to recreate 'Strange World' in his own vision. 'I remember hearing the track for the first time and having my mind completely blown. That feeling has stuck with me and each time I hear the original I still feel it, physically. When I set out to recreate the track, I wanted to try and maintain that original vibe and energy, but with a new sound and feeling.'

Grigoré's 'Strange World' is a slow burner. Bubbling away in a cauldron of synth, the original melody still shines bright, be it at a slower pace, and the orchestral feeling still sweeps us along throughout. Drum rolls abound and bassline drives, to create a respectful and supremely effective remake.

Grigoré - Strange World

Having rounded out the spring with his stunning revision of the trance classic 'Strange World', Grigoré returns to Spectrum with a new symphonic adventure in 'The Journey'.

As an age old metaphor of the electronic scene and one often used to describe the most epic of DJ sets, the 'journey' became the trademark of the best in the business. Those that took their listeners and dancers to new spaces, exploring musical tangents, surprising, and delivering goosebump moments often across lengthy, but beautifully paced nights. Grigoré's 'The Journey', as its name suggests, is a perfect soundtrack for these occasions.

Piano chords and an escalating orchestral melody sweep us along before we drop, to then rise again, never quite cresting its peak and leaving us wanting more.

With 'Flush', Grigoré turns the dial and ramps the intensity. Firing his staccato synth line and building with shimmering chords that simultaneously drive the track forward, to continue our journey.

Silent dawn unfolds,
Neurons fire, instincts guide,
Fear in silent walk.

In life, a soul frail,
Eyes gleam in the morning haze,
Nature's gentle balm.

Tracklist:
01. Dominik Gehringer - Strange World (Original Mix) 

Release Info: 
Kick-starting 2024 in emphatic fashion, Czech rising star Dominik Gehringer releases his highly-anticipated cut 'Strange World' on Purified Records. Revisiting Push's iconic trance anthem, Dominik's version enters a progressive dimension with masterful synth work and rumbling percussion and has already made a massive impact in sets around the world with its hypnotic presence. The 'Strange World' artwork showcases Daniel Nicholson's spectacular still of a whale shark. Despite their imposing size, whale sharks exude an air of tranquility as they glide through the ocean, mouths agape to filter plankton-rich waters. These magnificent beings are not only the world's largest fish, but they also hold a unique place in marine ecology as gentle filter feeders. Their longevity, reaching up to 70 years, has captured the attention of researchers keen on unraveling the mysteries of their lives. Organizations like the Marine Megafauna Foundation engage in vital conservation efforts, conducting research that not only aids in understanding the species, but also contributes to broader ocean health initiatives. Despite being filter feeders, whale sharks face threats like bycatch, boat strikes, and habitat degradation. Their slow reproductive rate makes them susceptible to population decline. They are listed as endangered according to the IUCN. Located on the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, Daniel Nicholson is one of the globe's most prominent professional underwater photographers. He seeks to share the beauty and magic of the underwater world to inspire conservation and change. Looking to help further protect the ocean? Explore Only One, the action platform for the planet, on a mission to restore ocean health and tackle the climate crisis — with the power of the people.
