  • MUSIC NEWS: Talla 2XLC presents the ultimate vocal trance anthem Journey's End on That's Trance

     


    The always creative and endlessly productive Talla 2XLC is back on his wonderful imprint That’s Trance with the stunning uplifting vocal trance anthem Journey’s End. It’s definitely one of his finest productions so far packed with immense energy, euphoric synths, melancholic piano chords and exceptional operatic female vocals with deep meaningful heartfelt well-written lyrics that will make your hair stand still from your back instantly.

Talla 2XLC stays faithful in his uplifting trance roots and he presents one of the most imaginative vocal tracks of the year that will get multiple plays in clubs and festivals during winter times and  forthcoming Ibiza season. Gorgeous vibes on Journey’s End that is out now on That’s Trance.

  • TRANCE REVIEW: Craig Connelly & HALIENE - Other Side Of The World (Daxson Remix) out on Black Hole Recordings

     

    For many, June’s release of Craig Connelly and HALIENE’s ‘Other Side Of The World’ delivered one of the most memorable (and downright singable!) floor-anthems of the summer. Was there any reason, the pair wondered, that the track couldn’t pull off the same feat in winter!?

    Time to find out …

    From his ‘Skygarden’ debut, Daxson’s gone on to become a mainstay of festival & arena events; served one floor-fuelling release after another, and in 2022 delivered his critically applauded first album. Oh, and he’s proved himself a highly capable set of remix hands too - something not lost on Craig Connelly. Craig originally tapped Daxson for a remix of his ‘Anything Like You’ a few years back. With that in mind, when it came to winter-warming ‘Other Side Of The World’, there was no other name on his list … 

    The Coldharbourite’s treatment takes the stylistic ground already covered by the original wholly into account. While Craig & HALIENE’s version had the melodic, harmonic and uplifting ends on lock, Daxson delivers something later-night-lethal. He’s charged up the bass-batteries, gone full-focal on HALIENE’s vocal, and rewired it into a savage garden of drum-pump, mainline rip and sonic soar.  One for to-the-dawn merchants out there, you can find streaming and sales options for Daxson’s ‘Other Side Of The World’ rework here 

    Tracklist:

    02: Craig Connelly & HALIENE – Other Side Of The World (Daxson Extended Remix)

    [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Craig Connelly & HALIENE combine their creative resources for the anthemic vocal uplifter Other Side Of The World. This fantastic trance smash hit gets the needed remix treatment by the Coldharbour talent Daxson who knows to turn anything he touches into a #PureGold production. Anthemic energetic proglifting trance in his very unique style with techy kicks, rough drums, dynamic super sharp basslines and fantastic anthemic synthy themes that simply elevate the track to the next level. If you go for trance that merges successfully the dark and the euphoric then this remix will be your weapon for months. Love iT [/content]

  • TRANCE REVIEW: Daniel Wanrooy & JES - We'll Be Together out on Black Hole Recordings


    "We’ll Be Together” is the first single from “In Search of Sunrise 19,” the latest installment of the acclaimed compilation series created by DJ Tiesto. JES Partners with dynamic Dutch producer and DJ Daniel Wanrooy. From the start, it is clear this is an immediate JES anthem. Built around a breathtaking vocal performance that would seem understated if it wasn’t for the sheer level of emotion it carries and is underscored with dreamy piano and beachfront sounds. Wanrooy’s production choices match JES’s unique performance step for step, delivering everything the song needs without ever being predictable. 

    “We’ll Be Together” is another stunning example of the depth of JES’s writing and performing, with a simple but touching message that hits the target every time.

  • COMPILATION NEWS: In Search Of Sunrise 19 - Mixed by Markus Schulz, Ilan Bluestone & Daniel Wanrooy out December 1st


    Well … something’s different .... It’s not the name and it’s certainly not ‘In Search Of Sunrise’s to-the-core musical nature! DJs? Well, it’s an ever-evolving cast, so that’s a given. Ah, but of course … it’s the date! Sunrise is a three-six-five affair and while the esteemed series has done summers a-plenty and once dipped its toe into autumn, this is the first modern era ‘ISOS’ that’s sought a winter’s dawn.

    Launched by Tiësto in 1999 and subsequently helmed by Richard Durand and most recently Markus Schulz, the series is now within touching distance of its milestone twentieth. Its third phase has been defined by a pronounced dynamic between its DJs. In Markus Schulz, you have your lynchpin, and then in close support genre progressives like Jerome Isma-Ae, Kryder, Gabriel & Dresden & last year Matt Fax, and classists including Kyau & Albert, Sunlounger, Andy Moor & Orkidea.

    ‘Sunrise’s dynamic is completed in 2023 by arch-Anjuna-ist Ilan Bluestone, and Daniel Wanrooy – a man who’s recording career reaches almost as far back as ‘ISOS’ itself. Alongside Markus, they’ve picked up the mix-mantle and auditioned tunes by the hundred, all the while asking themselves but one question: ‘... is it Sunrise?’ 

    Pre-order/bookmark here: blackhole.lnk.to/isos-19

    As ever, that quest starts in their own backyards, with the three bringing much radiance from their respective studios. There’s been a fair degree of crate digging too, looking for inspirational deeper-cut tracks to melodically and harmonically remix into ‘Sunrise’s realm. The trio have also screened the latest from kindred studio spirits, all of which has been peerlessly mixed into three-hours and forty minutes of epic, atmospheric, day-breaking music.

    When it comes to those post-peak clubbing hours, Markus Schulz has proved to be a masterful sun-up soundtracker. His sixth Search features plenty of his own Coldharbour brew, including ‘Rabbit Hole’ Circus material like the x Sarah Warren ‘Light On’ and (in its new In Search of Sunrise Remix form), the HALIENE-voiced ‘Death Of A Star.’ There’s also first-listen Schulz material receiving their premieres, including the majestic likes of ‘Summer Of ‘99’, ‘Forgotten Element’ and (new Daxson link-up) ‘Reverence’. Around those are a veritable wealth of new sonic treasure from operators including Matt Fax, KhoMha, Estiva & Mike EFEX.

    Anjuna-to-the-max, it’ll surprise few to learn that Ilan Bluestone’s disc is ripe with produce from that particular quarter. Amongst those are Sunny Lax’s ‘Cerasus’, Boom Jinx, Nitrous Oxide & Einar K team-up ‘Breathing’ and the Elysian trio’s ‘Light Years’ and ‘Sparks In The Night’. Ilan’s also been in the ISOS remix swing, delivering treatments of Above & Beyond’s ‘Diving Out Of Love’ & ‘Northern Soul’, as well as Chicane’s ‘Saltwater. You’ll also find his recent collabs with Oliver Smith (‘Blue Eagle’) and Giuseppe Ottaviani (‘Futuro’). And speaking of A&B, their ‘Spin Off’ from ‘Tranquillity Base Vol.1’ also plays a key part to his mix, as does Maor Levi’s reworking of Tiësto’s In My Memory’.

    And if all that doesn’t leave you feeling those first rays on your face, Daniel Wanrooy’s disc is here to make absolutely certain of it! He intros with his floor-fresh JES team-up, ‘We’ll Be Together’, before channelling even more of that ISOS vibe with his x BLR collab ‘Cielo’, and solo tracks ‘Terra Incognito’ and ‘How Will I Know’. Further in are the latest from some other classic ‘Sunrise’ contributors, with Mark Norman, Jonas Steur and Cor Fijneman respectively supplying it ‘So it Begins’, ‘Solis’ and ‘In Domo’. At the crest off Disc 3, Daniel touches the sun with some killer remixes of Kamaya Painters ‘Far From Over’ and ‘Falling Back To You’ from Delerium.

    Has ‘Sunrise 19’s moodier art-aesthetic and winter release spot brought an even cooler collection to your door!? Well, that’ll require a Search of your own! Here’s where to begin: blackhole.lnk.to/isos-19

  • HOUSE REVIEW: The Blessed Madonna, Joy Anonymous & Danielle Ponder - Carry Me Higher out on Warner UK

     


    The Blessed Madonna returns with new two-track EP, ‘Carry Me Higher’ – a collaboration with Joy Anonymous, featuring the vocals of US soul singer & multi-instrumentalist, Danielle Ponder.

    Comprised of two new tracks – ‘Carry Me Higher’ and ‘Something Doesn’t Feel Right’ – released as 7”, 10” and demo versions, the record was originally recorded in sessions in NYC with Joy Anonymous’ Hen while The Blessed Madonna was stateside for her residency at Chicago’s Smartbar; the legendary club where she first cut her teeth as a DJ, selector and curator.

    The release of ‘Carry Me Higher’ bookends a year that’s seen The Blessed Madonna reaffirm her position as one of dance music’s most iconic and celebrated artists. From landmark sets at Sonar, where she debuted her ‘Club Within A Club’ concept, Warehouse Project and Boiler Room – she played live from Bali – to playing 3x sets at Glastonbury in June, including a live BBC R1 Essential Mix with Annie Mac & salute and a secret set with Fred again.., 2023 has been another banner year. She also released anthemic single ‘Mercy’ ft. Jacob Lusk of imitable, much-lauded three-piece, Gabriels, and ‘F*** What You Heard’ featuring UK Garage cult hero, Todd Edwards – both to critical acclaim.

    Joy Anonymous, fresh from releasing their new album ‘Cult Classics’ in October – a follow up to 2021 debut LP, ‘Human Again’ – have enjoyed a breakout 2023. The London based duo work through the lens of building community and spreading joy with their music – a mantra that’s taken them on tour with good friend Fred again.. and play in support of The Streets this autumn, as well as both DJ and collaborate with everyone from Four Tet to Skrillex.

    Rising US soul & RnB star Danielle Ponder has enjoyed a whirlwind 2023 of her own. After leaving her career in law to pursue a music career less than two years ago, she released her debut album ‘Some Of Us Are Brave’ in 2022 and has since performed live on US TV (Seth Meyers), made her Lollapalooza festival debut and embarked on a 30+ date US tour earlier this spring.

    [item value="10"] Joe Smooth - Promised Land (1-800 GIRLS Remix)[/item]
    [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Joe Smooth's anthem  Promised Land is one of my favorite tracks in the house music history thanks to its great danceable rhythm and the fantastic vocals with the so important and vital lyrics that nowadays with all the wars and massacres of people around the world becomes extremely significant. The message of peace, unity and common action to solve any social injustice is definitely must be highlighted and talked about particularly to the young generation who think that everything is bought and sold by money. 1-800 GIRLS Remix takes the original in the electronica department for a nice chillin out dreamy version with airy smooth sounds and tripping out breaks. The vocals stay in the background serving their purpose well. The result is a beautiful motivating early morning or late night listening experience. #PureGold Love iT[/content]

    [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Armin van Buuren keeps his crown as the top trance DJ at the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs and he delivers exctatic tracks that stand out from the crowd. Lose This Feeling is hyper energetic feel good MainStage festival anthem and now Maddix comes on board to surprise us with his version that is actually faster and full on with addition of sharp acid overtones, rave style organ riffs and superb breakdown with the cool vocal along with claps leading with cool hover sound to the big climax to blow your mind and make you jump intensively! Are you ready to loose a lot of fat with this old school rave make over? Maddix is on the rise so be warned! #PureGold Love IT[/content]
