This great classic was released in 1999 on the Free For Fall label. This was later re-released by Rank 1, remixed with additional vocals as "Breathing (Airwave 2003)". Rank 1 in 2014 goes in a modern style remixing this great ...

Previously known for his numerous remixes and tracks featured on major club compilations, he first broke into the mainstream in 1991, playing at the famous "Hacienda" club in Manchester. After that, no good Ibiza party could take place without him. Who's behind it? Of course, it's Alexander Paul Coe, aka Sasha. "Magnetic North" by Sasha is a legendary track by this Welsh producer, released on July 29, 2002, on Kinetic Records. Charlie May collaborated with him on this track. It's track #3 from the album Airdrawndagger. It has a tempo of 130BPM, which makes th...

He based his production on the original version of Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings from 1936.  It's undoubtedly one of the all-time great electronic music tracks. Interestingly, Barber's Adagio was used in the film "Platoon." Translating the magic of this track into an electronic context while maintaining respect for the original was quite a challenge. Orbit was mindful of the dangers of reinterpreting it. What worked brilliantly for him was br...

Of course, he's also released his own productions. It wasn't much, but it's worth checking out. "I LOVE YOU," a Finnish producer under the alias Cosmicman, was released on the EMT Design label in 2001.  I first came across this track in 2006, when a music video for it was posted on YouTube. It's a melodic trance classic that most people don't remember or haven't heard. The unforgettable melody and energy of this track have stayed with me for many years. Trance music has always been close to Laamanen...

It features the incredible vocals of Jan Johnston. It's a return to the Golden Age of Trance, where we were captivated by the English singer's voice. This is how the Dutch producer recalls the collaboration: ***"Amor Del Pasado" featuring the wonderful vocals of Jan Johnston. Her voice elevates our track to a whole new level. A true 00's vocal trance bomb! You can find it on all your favorite portals. Buy, stream, and share with your friends who also love that big, anthemic 00's trance sound! It was a huge honor for me to have Jan ...

Robert Gitelman ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ – Children Of The Sun (2004)[ID&T] https://www.discogs.com/release/324289-Robert-Gitelman-Children-Of-The-Sun Children Of The Sun ๐ŸŽง As You Wish ๐ŸŽง Robert Gitelman produced his songs together with his colleague Jaron Martinez, who is better known for his project Jaron Inc. They both also led the highly acclaimed G&M Project and 2 Players. In 2004, they released a great vinyl "Children Of The Sun", which was released on the legendary ID&T label.  On the A side is the title track. A thin punch, subtle shakers, and a repetitive stabbing sound are the only things you'll hear when you put a needle on vinyl in the first minute. Gradually, more drums appear, and after a while one of them, a synthesizer typical of these producers, enters the rest of the elements. The synthesizer itself gives the track a lot of impetus, which it needed after quite repetitive expansion. By sounding fuller and more energetic, we move on to the first real break in the...

The legend of groundbreaking Trance classics has also been a producer and sound designer since the late 90s. He has released for labels such as Zone, Collision, and Subtraxx, but is best known for releasing the track "Arisen" on Armind in 2006. This return is a combination of collaborations with Bjรถrn Hรถdel, who emerged on the scene in 2007 with Enhanced, Infrasonic, In Trance We Trust, S107, and Perceptive.  The Swedish producer has also returned after a long time. "Eternity" features an epic intro with a shimmering atmospheric backdrop and a tight bassline, followed by a graceful b...

It was released on July 5, 1999, by Deconstruction Records and features Sasha co-produced by Charlie May, Andy Page, and Gaรซtan Schurrer. In 1999, the Xpander EP won an award at the International Dance Music Awards for "Best Techno/Trance 12."  Sometimes the biggest track is also the best. "Xpander" is a track known to almost every electronic music fan of a certain age. It debuted on radio, appeared on compilations, and appeared in the third edition of Wipeout, a video game series renowned for its electronic music. Named after the Oberheim Xpander synthesizer, the 11-minute original captured everything that was great about Sasha, beyond his playing. I...
