Dirkie Coetzee, Neo Kekkonen & Ekatherina April – Follow You [Subtraxx]

Comments Off Releases

Follow You is one of the finest pieces from Dirkie and Neo’s well working collaboration.

This time the vocals come from UK based songstress Ekatherina April, who’s voice fit’s perfectly to boys modern production.

The remixes are coming from Zage and Subtraxx’s work horse Marko Kantola with two different mixes.

While original mix is modern vocal trance track at it’s finest, Zage’s remix adds a techy, nu-trancey vibe to the track. The way the groove and kick-bass combo works left us amaze how this guy has been able to keep the downtime from producing. Here’s a name to follow in the future!

Marko Kantola adds the trademark prog trance vibe with chunky house beats on top. Big trance chords fill the crossover feel.

For those uncomfortable with vocal tracks, we give you a dub version of original version and darker dub interpretation from Marko Kantola.

Glideslope – Sunstone [Subtraxx]

Comments Off Releases

Sunstone is Glideslope’s second release on Subtraxx. He’s first track Fable was released in summer 2011, and later on refurbished by our own Theta Rhythm.

Sunstone is an energetic trancey track, with amazing groove which won us over from the first listen. The breakdown of the track is super positive yet wistful melodic, from where it is coming back to full groove effortlessly.

Italian George Le Rouge cranks up the compressors and introduces some hard synth work for the friends of more aggressive tracks.

Night Shift Master – Love Like Sunlight Hill [Nemesis]

Comments Off Releases

Love Like Sunlight Hill is yet another perfect hit for Nemesis. Beautiful progressive track with amazing melody. There’s a simple yet effective vocal hook and hooky piano chord riff.

Sourcee gives the track more prog trancey feeling with saw based chord hits. Signature Sourcee sound that you will definitely hear more this spring.

Dima Ashaev is the other half of Russian production duo Rotation. His remix is the hardest, the most aggressive of this trio, yet still fitting Nemesis’ previous releases. The approach is modern, with a twist in the breakdown.

Lope & Kantola – Lonely Ranger [Subtraxx]

Comments Off Releases

2012 brings collaboration between Subtraxx label manager Ville Lope and Marko Kantola, making a huge comeback. Marko and his earlier project White Stars’ releases were frequently spotted in the playlists and compilations of big names like Armin Van Buuren and Markus Schulz.

Lope & Kantola brings the dancefloor just what you can expect from these two talented Finns. Big basslines, solid grooves and huge melodies. Lonely Ranger is only the first chapter in new success story.

The original track introduces a catchy percussive loop, big gritty baseline and great groovy drums.

Jason Seizures can still be thought as a newcomer in the record industry, but with big remix of Alex Kunnari feat. Ben Andreas – Taste The Sun on Magik Muzik can’t be said to be unheard.

Jason’s remix Electro House Remix can be dubbed as Complextro – He takes the already big and gritty baseline and makes it completely his own. This track is totally a party track ensured to make the crowds bounce like madmen. Yes, there’s dustup breakdown in this one.

Airwave’s insight to Lonely Ranger strips down the track – his true trance approach is almost minimalistic compared to the complexity and melodies of the original. If you are into laid back progressive grooves and trance of the nineties, this is a safe bet. Airwave is again on fire.

JDC – Más Cerca [Camouflage]

Comments Off Releases

Más Cerca is one of those releases leading the direction towards “real trance” that has been bubbling underground for quite a while now.

This track gets the inspiration and idea from the trance releases around late 90′ies and early 2000′s but the production, beats and drive are up to date.

Más Cerca is one of those tracks that leaves the audience shouting for more. A driving, dark and techy beat in minor scale switches effortlessly to major scale introducing a spot on beautiful piano theme. The lift off reminds us of the times when the dutchmen took over the trance scene.

The remix comes from our exotic producer Arrakeen, hailing from Singapore. His remix is balancing between ripping dutch leads and light trance arps.

This release is for the DJ’s who want the trance to stay true to it’s origin.

Arran Lee feat. Michelle Richer – Find Me [Subtraxx]

Comments Off Releases

Arran Lee gained the attention of trance world with his previous Subtraxx release Saw You Coming. The raving reviews paved the path to his first vocal track, presenting the marvelous voice of Michelle Richer.

Find Me takes the aggressiveness down a bit from Saw You Coming, but the almost techy groove is still there. The breakdown introduces Michelle’s voice and a main room chord stab melody. There’s a lift off that is made to make the dancefloor move.

The remix comes from new rising finnish trance producer Glideslope. His interpretation leaves the vocal in the background, focusing on the beautiful melodies Arran provided. Glideslope’s sound described in a word is mature, trance for the new generation, bowing to the heroes of the past.
