Conjure One & Jeza - Wolves at the Door

New modernism aesthetics in vector poster design cards. A4 page template layout with brutalism graphics and abstract geometric shapes, great for poster art, business presentation, digital prints. Having last autumn opened his new album account with the Jaren-sung ‘Animals’, Conjure One (Rhys…


Solarstone - Sovereign

After a brief release interlude, Solarstone returns to the fore with an eminent new single offering. Instrumental in composition and standalone in terms of the studio (some ‘Solostone’, if you will!), it comes in the formidable form of ‘Sovereign’ Unattached to any of his recent longplayers…


Sied van Riel - Rush (Miss Monique Remix)

There were tracks that came before it, but it was ‘Rush’ that truly broke the man out of Rotterdam and in 2008, sent Sied van Riel global. An influentially formative part of her own electronic music history, 2022 sees Ukrainian DJing/studio sensation Miss Monique return to ‘Rush’ and sink her…


John Askew & Shelby Merry - When Darkness Comes

The first vanguard single ahead of the release of John Askew’s 2022-upcoming artist album is a tale of two tones, intricately and ingeniously interwoven. ‘When Darkness Comes’ balances thought-provoking lyrics with Askew’s renowned clubfloor force, to bring something truly extraordinary to the…


BT - Where the Sun Meets the Sea (Nourey Remix)

Never far from the bleeding edge of music, technology and, well, most everything else, BT’s zeitgeist-capturing ‘Metaversal’ LP brought us some chilled-to-wintery-perfection feels last November. Into 2022 and the studio savant is ready to single out some of the album’s tracks for some spotlight…


Cosmic Gate & Greenhaven DJs - Retrospection

There was a major Easter egg tucked away in Cosmic Gate’s Puerto Vallarta, Mexico livestream last month, and one that didn’t escape the attention of many a CG fan. Not only did Nic & Bossi take the opportunity to premiere ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’s opening single (the Olivia Sebastianelli-sung ‘We…


Alex Di Stefano, Zach Zlov And Everlight: ‘The Art Of Skullduggery Vol III’

Where the others tap out… stylistically, the Skullduggery starts! Following last year’s second edition (co-mixed by Beatman & Ludmilla), February sees Greg Downey’s label marque back with a bang. Better make that three bangs in fact, as not only has Skullduggery gone ‘Vol. III’, it’s also…


Richard Durand - Reactivate

A Richard Durand album is a rarer item these days and even more welcome for it. Since the heady times of his ‘Always The Sun’ debut, swiftly followed by 2012’s ‘Wide Awake’ and ‘Richard Durand Versus The World’ the following year, the Dutchman’s taken a more measured approach to the longplayer…


tyDi & JES - Just Believe

With their first for 2022 (and it could hardly have come much earlier), tyDi & JES bring the hope with their new collaboration, ‘Just Believe’. The release comes off the back of challenging times for Australian-born/LA-based DJ/producer, tyDi. Having been hospitalised with a rare neurological…


Cosmic Gate & Olivia Sebastianelli - We Got The Fire

New Livestream, new single, release date news for ‘MOSAIIK Chapter Two’, new North American tour date phase… Now that’s how you start a New Year. The front end of 2022 sees GRAMMY-nominated duo Cosmic Gate up their livestream game once again.…


Tasadi & Sarah de Warren - I Would Do Anything

Last year, cult underground tranceteer Tasadi signaled an end to his epic seven-year studio hiatus. It perhaps wasn’t the ‘when’ that garnered the most attention though, but the ‘how’… Taha Asadi used the last of his latent months to prepare an incredible groundwork for the return. Subsequently,…


Richard Durand & HALIENE - Give Your Heart A Home

Having only last month supplied tranceland with the epically touching, Susana-sung (and ASOT Future Favourite’d!) ‘I Matter To You’, Richard Durand single-pushes on towards the release of his new LP. With the album primed for release early in the New Year, ‘Give Your Heart A Home’ - the next…


Siskin - Electric Love

Sharing common musical cause with their Black Hole debut last month, ‘Electric Love’ (released today) is every inch the natural successor to the mesmerizing ‘Villaneve’. Singers, songwriters and producers Sue McLaren & Suzanne Chesterton formed the group after their musical kinship grew too…


Giuseppe Ottaviani - The Wind in Your Face

We ask in all seriousness, is there any producer in the trance realm as all-out dependable as Giuseppe Ottaviani!!? Having just last month notched a new vocal high with his and Monika Santucci’s heart-stealing ‘With You’, the Italian now expands that envelope again with another…


Paul van Dyk - Wishful Thinking

  After months of isolation and only the digital world to connect through with family, friends and fans, PvD is finally back with brand new music. More alive and direct then ever, yet covered in new, beautiful soundwaves. Together with progressive house talent Kolonie, Paul van Dyk created…

Pavel Khvaleev presents PARAFRAME - Exhale

You were promised two albums from Pavel Khvaleev this autumn and two albums you now have. Having released the - by degrees - clubbier and more immediately Khvaleev-esque ‘Inhale’ in October, November 26 sees the yang to its living & breathing yin arrive. Setting it apart from his…


Solarstone & Stoneface & Terminal - Solarstone presents Pure Trance Vol. 9

If ever there was a moment for Pure Trance to take a year off, it has to have been the least dancefloor-friendly one of the last century. By the same token though, if there was a 365 for it to return (and with a vengeance, we might add)… well you can probably see where we’re going with this! So it…


Cosmic Gate & Diana Miro - Blame (Pavel Khvaleev Remix)

HIGH FREQUENCY SINGLES RUN FROM CHAPTER ONE OF COSMIC GATE’S ‘MOSAIIK’ LP CONCLUDES WITH KILLER NEW TAKE ON THE GROUNDBREAKING ‘BLAME’ It’s already provided us with ASOT1000 - Moscow rocking ‘Vertigo’ and the hot season-capturing ‘Summer Wonder’. Now, to tie off the hot run of releases from the…


Pavel Khvaleev - Inhale

“No, not a lockdown album”, smiles Pavel Khvaleev, albeit with enough emphasis to leave little doubt. When though is an album project, with some remarkably altered sonic states (and produced throughout 2020) not one then? “Well, for one, he clarifies, when it was the (pre-pandemic) plan all along.…


Activa's 'Origins' Album Arrives This Month

Arriving a full decade after his last LP (2011’s ‘To The Point’), ‘Origins’ - releasing Oct 1, is the third album from UK artist Rob ‘Activa’ Stevenson. On the surface ‘Origins’ origin story is a relatively straightforward one. “Its main theme, states Activa is to re-represent the music I grew up…
