Vince Blakk-Another Day [Progressive Vibes Music]

 

 

 There are artists out there that manage slowly but steadily to lure in the casual listeners of the genre and in turn captivate them with their tunes, always leaving them wanting more. One of those artists that seems to push himself gradually to the forefront of the dance music scene is none other than "Vince Blakk". An artist with undeniable talent and a keen ear for what the populous may crave. If you have been fortunate to have heard tunes of his such as "The Great Divide" (under his "Angel II Demon" alias) or his exquisite remix of "Artisan and Anki's-Thank You", you definitely know what to expect from this artist. His latest single "Another Day" is out now on Spanish dance music label "Progressive Vibes Music". 

 Instantly from the first moments of play, we are surrounded by the most beautiful and magical sun drenched, summer clad melodies and an appropriate island-like percussion to pair it up with. Extra flair and majestic qualities are added with the use of a soul shaking male vocal performance, instant choir segments and a Spanish guitar to top it off. Images come to life before our very eyes courtesy of Vince's expert musical storytelling abilities. Another delightful surprise in the tune is the divine male/female vocal duet in the midst of it all as the vibrant leads have our hearts beating faster by the minute! Progressive sun drenched vocal emotional goodness from start to finish. 

Vince takes us all on an emotional, vibrant journey to an island where summer never ends, the sea never gets restless and love lives on eternal!

MIYUKI-Would You Love Me [AVA Recordings]

 

It has been quite the year for "MIYUKI". Securing some of the coolest gigs such as her recent one at the "View Lounge L.A-Summer Edition", performing live for her ever growing list of fans, delighting our ears with her frequent "Twitch" streams with her undeniable energy and charisma as well as forging loads of eclectic tunes in her studio. A recent highlight certainly includes her recent release with fellow artist "Pablo Artigas", (their brilliant take on "Final Fantasy VI-Terra's Theme"). It went on to landing them both the 26th placement on the "Beatport Hype Trance Chart". Her latest release finds its way to beloved label "AVA Recordings", a label she seriously considers family and frequently releases on. "Would You Love Me" is her new vocal tune, which includes a special surprise for us all as she took on songwriting duties for this one as well. If you are familiar with her work, you definitely know you are in for a treat!

 Infinite amounts of energy is unleashed into the open from early on. Pumping basslines, acid lines (borrowed from the psy-trance cosmos) and female vocal one liners are displayed here in all their glory, building the tune, preparing us if you will, for the haunting vocal performance that follows. It ties in quite beautifully with the touching atmosphere found in the break of the tune which is fabricated by oh so delicate piano plucks which appear to descend like sudden tiny raindrops on a hazy day. All of this is combined brilliantly with lush strings that enhance the atmosphere to a whole other level. The well awaited build that arrives after such a tender moment, teases us with anticipation, till at last it lets it all out by use of tremendous leads sending out a torrent of emotions and openness much like a rain cloud purifying the earth below, honest and true. 

 A very personal tune from MIYUKI containing a powerful message. She certainly succeeds in transforming the deepest emotions of one's psyche into heartfelt soundscapes and euphoric beats! With this tune she will have fans eating out of the palm of her hand, eagerly awaiting her next musical offering!

Max Freegrant & Donna Marie (NZ)-Turn [Freegrant Music]

 

Another fruitful collaboration sees the light of day in the magical world of clubland. This time two unlikely dance music heroes team up for the first time to create something truly promising. One is Ukraine's "Max Freegrant" is known for a vast number of releases on labels such as "Mandarine Music", "Movement Recordings" and of course his own label "Freegrant Music".

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!
