Where do we start? Summer anthem? We think so. We are now pleased to bring you one of the hottest releases of 2007, with Onova - 'Platitude'. This track brings back the great feeling about trance music and with the top notch production delivered by Christian Lejon anybody would be mad to miss out on this classic. 

Hammered by Paul van Dyk in clubs and on his radio shows, he liked it so much he also signed it to Vandit Records in Germany. Very huge support from the world's No. 1 DJ Armin van Buuren, including 5 plays on his ASOT radio show, and featuring on the ASOT 2007 Yearmix. Not to mention the countless requests and support by all the big names we are sure this one is set to stay and Onova is definitely one to keep an eye out for the future. 

Included in this super package we have none other than Enhanced Recordings head honcho Will Holland delivering a fantastic remix giving it a bit more drive, also we have rising star Sebastian Brandt supplying a tougher mix with a lush piano breakdown, then finally we have a bonus mix from young producer Allan O'Marshall bringing a different angle to the table with a more progressive version.

(Monster Tunes)
4/5
Quality uplifting trance from Onova, that's seen Vandit break 
out their licensing pen. Both the original and Will Holland mixes 
rock, but over repeated spins, it's Allan O'Marshall's re-spray that 
really makes the floor move.
