Miss Rodriguez-Apollo [FSOE Parallels]

 

It is always great to see new talent with a unique approach to the genre emerge into the dance music scene. Relative newcomer "Miss Rodriguez" from Mexico, is without a doubt one of those talented individuals. Mesmerizing her audience with her previous phenomenal tune "Your Eyes" on "FSOE Parallels", the rising star is back once more with her new creation "Apollo". Out now on "FSOE Parallels", owned and operated by none other than Santos Torres, the artist known as "Monoverse".

 "Apollo" grabs your attention from the very first moment as a vibrant bassline paves the way ahead alongside an intriguing melody and a plethora of effects, including plenty of reverse fx and playful echoes. The progression of this one is undeniably surprising as the haunting, distinct female vocal gets tumbled around quite nicely, adding an extra flair to it all, while a dark, somewhat distorted wasp synth realizes its full potential, spreading several amounts of euphoria, building the hype amongst the bittersweet melodies and trance oriented leads that follow. 

Much like the Greek God of music itself "Apollo" is an aural creation plucked from the heavens! Another hit for "Miss Rodriguez"!

Solaris-Waiting For You (Thomas Datt's Heart Activation Remix) [FSOE Recordings]

 

Polish dance music producer and DJ "Thomas Datt", was a definite force in the scene that we all love. Given us two brilliant artist albums plus a vast number of singles and remixes he certainly helped shape the trance genre with his energetic fusion of sound. One day he vanished into thin air, making his departure much like a certain character found in the beloved tale by none other than J.R.R. Tolkien. The years passed and the scene changed and evolved, as it always does, much like a serpent shedding its skin and adorning a new one. 

Lo and behold Thomas made his triumphant reappearance with a new concept, remixing "Dark Matter-Dragon's Tear" which soared like a bird of prey in the dance music charts. His next audio venture led him to another remix opportunity. This one has been dubbed the "Heart Activation Remix" for "Solaris-Waiting For You". What a grand one it is and it is out now on "Future Sound Of Egypt".

 Thomas pulls out all the stops here adding his own elements to this unique tune. A delicate well balanced fusion of magnanimous melodies, chopped vox and female vocal enchanting wails as if plucked from a dream, thus forming images of lush, paradisial lands, untouched and unchanged by human hands, pure and free, blissful as can be. Female vocals appear in the midst of it all, much like an enchantress of old, luring us all along for the melodic outburst and definite ride of a lifetime. Joyous vibes encircle us as our hearts beat louder in sync to each beat. Lush, serene, magical, majestic patterns of sound emerge sucking us further inwards into a world where hate, fear and anguish have no home!

 Another masterpiece of a remix that perfectly demonstrates the qualities of its given name!

Anske-Miami Heat [Coldharbour Recordings]

 

Our beloved Lithuanian producer is back with a brand new tune just in time for the season. Andrej Anskinas is the artist in question and is mostly known under his artist name "Anske". This artist is surely one to watch for as he knows very well how to continue his slow but steady ascend in the wondrous world of dance music. A regular icon in the "Coldharbour Recordings" family, it is no coincidence that he has been there every step of the way, ever since his first release for the label (the all mighty "Epika E.P" ) which landed him a place on the label. His newest tune has been dubbed "Miami Heat" and most definitely must be an ode to the city itself, summer and the label. 

 From the very beginning a sort of turbulence and rush occurs as a frenetic percussion alongside the chugging basslines shakes things up, much like a train eager to arrive at its final destination. The bottled excitement arises as the journey unfolds, scorching melodies gradually join in alongside buzzing synths, like eager locusts, providing us with a sense of adventure, prolonging the drama and anticipation while the jaw dropping leads ultimately seize control taking us all home. 

Truly a tune that instills elements of positivity, radiance and hope within each and every listener. Another sure hit for Anske!

Dark Matter-Dragons Tear (Thomas Datt Third Eye Activation Remix) [Landscapes Music]

 

After a significant amount of absence from the scene, prolific dance music artist "Thomas Datt", marks his imminent return on none other than label on the rise (as I have stated many times before), "Landscapes Music". This is a label heralded by none other than Shyamol Maracci (HORIZONS). Thomas decided it was definitely time to emerge back into the scene, leaving his musical stamp on one of the label's finest releases from the past, the incredible "Dragons Tear" by Danish DJ/Producer "Dark Matter", also known as "Dreamy Dawn". In doing so he brought forth all of his wisdom and experience that he has gained over the years, bringing forward his newly found inner peace and in turn found a way to transmit all of this into the remix you have before you. He dubbed it "Third Eye Activation Remix", a title aptly suited as you will quickly witness.

 We are instantly greeted with magical, mystifying melodies, fresh and vibrant as can be, soul cleansing if you will, as the rest of the elements get to work like a well oiled machine in the background. Acid lines and squelches make their appearance leaving an Earthly attribute as to not get carried away swiftly into the heavenly atmosphere that begins to form. Melodies loaded with an inner calmness follow as images of warm delicate sunlight pierce a quiet, sleepy forest bringing forth a sort of radiance and splendor to the landscape itself. The cheerful leads follow suit enhancing the atmosphere further adding an extra dosage of joy and an emotional "happy to be alive" element that really brings this tune to new heights. Healing, powerful music that will undoubtedly begin a healing process within each individual listener through serene, flawless and rejuvenating beats! A great step forward for "Thomas Datt", who constantly delivers an essence of undeniable quality to the tunes or remixes he has put his touch on.

2022 so far has been a year of new opportunities, a downpour of new and exceptional music and of course the slow and steady ascend of new artists in the scene that we all are enamored with. It has also seen the return and welcome revival of our favorite tunes from the past.

Dan Thompson-Deep Horizon [Coldharbour Recordings]

 

One of the UK's undeniable talents is ever ascending star "Dan Thompson". Dan has been on the forefront of the scene for quite a spell and has constantly attracted positive attention towards his person via his eclectic musical taste in the vast field of dance music and his uncanny production abilities. His solo productions, collaborations and remixes have all had their fair share in the spotlight with many featured on radio shows such as "A State Of Trance" with "Armin Van Buuren" and "Global DJ Broadcast" with "Markus Schulz". 

 Recent highlights include nabbing a spot with his dynamic tune "Airbourne", on acclaimed DJ Mix compilation series "In Search Of Sunrise", featured on the disc mixed by none other than "Markus Schulz" himself. Another is delivering a stunning remix on the legendary tune "Fixation" by "Andy Ling". Inspiration never seems to be that far away for the Englishman and he proves that statement in full by delivering a fresh single on "Coldharbour Recordings" dubbed "Deep Horizon".

 Imagine if you will a world constructed of chugging basslines and ecstatic rhythms that forever build, all the while enhanced by ethereal female vocal snippets that brighten said world every minute. This is only the tip of the iceberg as the tune in question's progression seems to be a beautiful and enchanting attempt at storytelling I daresay. Lush, exotic landscapes form before us while the internal tension and a sort of masked aggression build with every second of airplay. Pumping, "in your face" leads dominate the previously serene landscape like a downpour of rain, a tempest if you like, as a burst of energy is unleashed into the open. One can easily marvel at and detect the perfect balance of harmony within this one. Sweet, serene moments soaked in a kind of tranquility shapeshift and utterly transform into a thunderous trance affair of epic proportions. Large and in charge! Dan is most certainly off to a killer start for 2022!
