It’s that time of year when our last remembrances of summer’s splendor begin to transition into the realization that autumn has finally come once again. As leaves begin to shed their vivid greenish coloring and paint the skyline with autumnal hues of orange, brown and yellow it becomes incredibly difficult to resist the overwhelming feelings of monotony that coincides with repeating yet another week’s work. But alas! It’s Thursday afternoon, the weekend is approaching and it seems only fit that we take a little time to yet again rejuvenate our spirits and indulge in our weekly allotment of Trance.
This week we begin our playlist with a remix that needs no introduction, W&W’s remix of Dash Berlin and Emma Hewitt’s track “Waiting”. The dutch duo really have outdone themselves with this remix. The duo maintain the incredible foundation of the original while simultaneously emphasizing the alluring vocals of Emma Hewitt with the addition of grungier electro synths. The next highlight of this weeks selection is the remix of Armin Van Buuren’s “I’ll Listen” by John O’Callaghan. John O’Callaghan is regarded as one of the most talented producers in all of trance for producing outstanding remixes which highlight key aspects of the original amongst robust backdrops of his own creation. His latest remix transforms the lighter atmosphere Ana Criado’s vocals developed in the original into a dark and harrowing tune which expertly emphasizes the ominous undertones of this remix. The fact that John O’Callaghan referred to this mix as a ‘Dark’ mix is a complete understatement. Another great highlight of this week’s playlist is the latest effort from dutch producer Husman, “E.D.M.”. “E.D.M” is a powerful trance gem that contains a beautiful breakdown, an infectious melody, and booming synths. This track truly personifies euphoria. Last but certainly not least, the prodigal producer from Anjunabeats, Mat Zo, gave out a fantastic free release “I Never Knew” which showcases his innate productional finesse. This playlist is packed full of amazing tunes so sit back and enjoy ninjas!
