It's one of those tracks with vocals that contradicts my thesis that "the best trance music is the one without vocals." It was released on vinyl in 2008 by Vandit Records.  It appears on his first solo album, "GO!". A fantastic track, paired with vocals by Stephen Pickup. Great lyrics! Check it out!  ***Everyone is walking on the edge of life Like a ghost of a shadow, barely alive Even times in a rush But its going now...

Released in 2006 on CD by Anjunabeats, it was only many years later (in 2018) that it was finally released on vinyl. Here, we get Trance and Progressive Breaks at their best.  These gentlemen, fascinated by this region of the world, gave the track this title for a reason. Indonesia is an incredibly fascinating country in many ways. Thanks to its colossal size, it stands out with a multi-colored mosaic of cultures, landscapes, scents, and flavors, depending on which region you happen to be in. The modern districts of Indonesia's capital, Jakarta, are bustli...

REVIEW: "Fixated By The Aura" by BLUFELD [VISIONS OF TRANCE]

Image
REVIEW: "Fixated By The Aura" by BLUFELD "Fixated By The Aura" is the sixth studio album by English producer David Hearn, who releases his music as Blufeld. The album was released on Addictive Sounds and is available on CD and vinyl at the following link: https://elasticstage.com/blufeldmusic/releases/fixated-by-the-aura-album It consists of 13 tracks, meticulously crafted to satisfy the listener. Blufeld has been crafting incredible trance and progressive trance melodies for years, and that's exactly what we get here. It's safe to say this is his best album yet. With a wealth of experience and influences from artists like M.I.K.E. and Airwave, this producer knows how to craft a story from every track. No matter where you listen (at home, on the beach, or in the car), this is a pleasant listening experience filled with a rich array of melodies. Each track is a different journey, adorned with incredible sounds. It makes you drift into another dimension and fo...

Johan recalls: ***A tribute to my best friend Robert With this track I celebrate the life of Robert – my former tour manager, travel companion and above all my best friend.

Released in 2017 on Black Hole Recordings.  It’s a well-known truth about trance music that every producer worth their salt of the sea has a Mediterranean-inspired track somewhere in their body. On this track, you get Balearic for a whole eight minutes. The track evokes a season like no other. Wailing orchestral violins hang in the background, only to be joined by a more prominent, guitar-based string theory.  From there, in a raft of fluttering, shimmering synths, a measured bass and countless broken sub-harmonic elements develop the summe...

The songs were released on CD in 2008 on the Intuition Recordings label.  "Tangerine" is a very dreamy track that I loved from the first listen. Jezper is an icon of Trance music and was able to get the best out of this production for the listener. The main melody encourages you to express your feelings through hand gestures. Every growth is unique here and at every step allows you to dream of pleasant moments. A beautiful and unforgettable melody that lifts me high where no one will be able to reach me...

This is the best Progressive Trance of the mentioned year, which attracts with its unique melody.  This piece gives an unforgettable progressive atmosphere, making it a wonderful journey, thanks to which you can forget about your problems and difficulties of everyday life. It is safe to say that it is a very emotional piece, thanks to which you are transported to another world in which you can only dream.  This is the time when you avoid sad moments. This is the place where you charge your batteries to approach each next day positively. The piece is part of the latest album Trilogique 2, which is a continuation of the album of the same name, released in 2006. It is certainly the number one of this powerful album.

In those early days of DJing, he was one of the few who defined how records could be mixed, adding a talent that went beyond playing other people’s music. His sets created new music on the spot, as if DJing was his own art form. At the time he was radical and attracted an obsessive audience worldwide. In 2002 he released his best album called "Airdrawndagger".  It is on this album that you can find the legendary t...
