Emma Hewitt - Ghost Of The Light
The depth of Emma Hewitt’s artistry is on full display as she returns in the roles of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and co-producer on her astonishing new album, Ghost Of The Light. From its inception, Emma has been artistic master and servant to her second longform. Involved in every…
Bryan Kearney & Bo Bruce - Shine A Light
Bryan Kearney and Bo Bruce have history … or at least more history than their shared discography might suggest! The pair have been discussing the right project to collaborate on, pretty much since Bryan remixed Bo & Gareth Emery’s ‘U’ … all the way back in 2014! However, more attuned…
Solarstone - Shards (LostLegend Remix)
Master of the compact title, Solarstone’s been on a single word roll over the last few months, letting the music behind ‘Sovereign’, Hope and ‘Vision’ do all the necessary ‘talking’. While ‘Shards’ continues that run of succinctness, the track’s lineage dates back less months and more years. It was…
Christina Novelli - We're Home
With Christina killer Original, a floor-assailing Daxson rework and a nothing less than astonishing official video (with Novelli 40ft underwater in a Mexican limestone cenote!), ‘Heavy’ made quite the impact last month. Not only was it the DJ/vocalist’s first standalone outing of 2023, but also the…
Somna - Satellites
‘Beside You’, Somna debut artist LP, arrived in spring 2020, fully equipped with all the elements necessary to ensure the artist’s big leap forward. Tour-ready and near enough bags-packed, Benjamin was set to take ‘Beside You’ to all the places he’d designed it to rock. Unfortunately, something…
Alucard - Star Rider
Beyond Solarstone himself, there’s probably no artist that better embodies the quintessential sound of the ‘Electronic Architecture’ albums than Alucard. In one capacity or other he’s been a feature of all four of its to-date releases, which has more than cemented his ‘EA’ credentials. This year…
Siskin - Rest Of My Days
There can be few more instant-catch ways to premiere your new track, than dropping it during an A State Of Trance set. That’s exactly what Siskin did, midpoint of their ASOT1000 performance, sending their ‘Adrenaline EP’ back into high orbit. True to Siskin form, ‘Rest Of My Days’ picks right up…
XiJaro & Pitch with Adara - Invisible
As evidenced by their weekly radio show, their most recent single, and their upcoming mixcomp, XiJaro & Pitch are all about Chasing Dreams. Only last month, that approach took the Dutch/Belgium teaming of Anthony Reyers and Xander van Dommelen all the way to their first A State Of Trance…
Sarah de Warren - Monster (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
While Sarah de Warren’s star has been on a fast-rise for a couple of years now, there’s every likelihood that 2023 will go down as her breakthrough 365. Moving from featured vocalist to solo artist, and accompanied by eye-wowing official videos, killer, all-bases reworks from remix heavyweights and…
Emma Hewitt x Mark Sixma - Raindrop
Since last summer’s ‘Into My Arms’, Emma Hewitt’s been on a consistent singles trip, working in the closest of collaborations with an ever-growing number of electronic music luminaries. X’ing with Markus Schulz, Richard Durand, Ben Nicky, Orjan Nilsen and others, her mind’s been focussed on…
Cosmic Gate - Mirador
Cosmic Gate have been on a vocal release hot-streak over the last 12 months, with ‘Hear Me Out’, ‘We Got The Fire’, ‘Follow You Anywhere’, ‘Emotions Of Colour’, et al, all shaping the sound of ‘MOSAIIK’. Those feels and fires only grow higher this week, as Nic & Bossi delve back into ‘Chapter…
Mark Sherry, Alex Di Stefano & Renegade System - Outburst presents Prism Volume 4
It’s crept up on three years since we last received a mix-comp transmission from Planet Outburst and the science of hard has been left just a touch wanting ever since. However, as April beckons, that drought breaks, and Mark Sherry pours three new mixes through the ‘Prism’. For ‘Vol.4’s, well,…
Christina Novelli - Heavy
Christina Novelli’s not been hanging around in 2023. After the x Paul Oakenfold x Nat Monday team-up, ‘Say You’re Mine’, and ‘Fall Through The Earth’ - her latest with Richard Durand, she’s ready to go again in March. Three months, three striking singles, but it may be the promise of what’s still…
Siskin - Let Go
There are few happenings that better underscore an artist’s arrival than their debut A State Of Trance performance. At the front end of March, the all-singing, spinnin’ & songwriting kinship of Sue McLaren & Suzanne Chesterton flew those colours high with a showstopping set at ASOT1000. How…
HALIENE & Elephante - Hollow
HALIENE came into 2023 still trailing album-heat from last fall’s debut of her by-name-and-nature ‘HEAVENLY’. The first new material to follow is a collaboration that simply couldn’t have come about soon enough. HALIENE connected with LA-based producer and songwriter Elephante over Twitter, with…
RAM - Wanderlust
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAVING SINGLES-TRAILED IT THROUGHOUT ‘22, THAT MAN RAM INJECTS THE SPRING INTO THE SPRING, WITH THE DROP OF HIS SECOND ARTIST ALBUM ON MARCH 17…
Solarstone - Vision
Last year, through ‘Sovereign’, ‘Mist On The Hill’, Hope and others, Solarstone was on a mission to hit some new melodic highs. While those types of feels certainly play their part in ‘Vision’, they are more the start point than the endgame to this extraordinary, boundary-breaking release. A hybrid…
Emma Hewitt x Orjan Nilsen - Warrior
With ‘Warrior’, Emma Hewitt continues her trailblazing run of hybrid singles, leading up to her first artist album in over a decade. First to stores & streams comes her standalone ‘Warrior’ original, which drops today (Feb 15). Just 48 hours later, hot on its tail comes the x Orjan Nilsen…
RNX - Oscillate
A creative outlet must be one of the healthiest aspects of our existence, so, it would stand to reason that a creative outlet of a creative outlet could only amplify that. That, in essence, is what Robert Nickson’s done with RNX - an alter-ego/altered state that he’s been dipping in and out for a…
XiJaro & Pitch - Chasing Dreams
Chasing dreams lies at the heart all good recording artists’ ethos and XiJaro & Pitch have been pursuing theirs for a half-dozen years or more. Today, the Dutch/Belgium teaming of Anthony Reyers and Xander van Dommelen extol that very sentiment, first through ‘Chasing Dreams’ the single, and…
