Virtual Vault EP incl. After The Sunset & Clouds Before Dawn, big room balearic trance beauties out on ITWT

Virtual Vault EP[In Trance We Trust/Black Hole recordings]
1. After The Sunset
2. Clouds Before Dawn

Virtual Vault presents his brand new EP on the In Trance We Trust imprint, featuring the two titles “After The Sunset” and “Clouds Before Dawn”.

While checking out the EP, it is clear that Virtual Vault is still true to the In Trance We Trust sound. Of course we can expect that good old big room influence that has made Virtual Vault’s name over the years. “After The Sunset” begins subtle and builds up slowly, but with incredibly smooth synths, soft percussive effects and an all over, say, peaceful sound. It indeed makes it the perfect track for sunset, when the party people come over to dance the night away. It is exactly that feeling that we will get once the break sets in with big, staccato hammering strings, seemingly endless reverb and the right sound for an all night long big room set.

“Clouds Before Dawn”, the closing track in this EP has a bit more soul in its arrangement and is, in a way, a bit of a tribute to that good old trance sound from the early days. Many of the true trance and big room aficionados will appreciate Virtual Vault’s choice of synths here, ‘cause the ones that listen closely will hear that far away, beach and waves-like effect that makes the entire track a heartfelt one. Once again the break is where everyone on the dance floor will crave to be on the dance floor all night long, not thinking about the crack of dawn, but enjoying Virtual Vault with “Clouds Before Dawn”!

Dimitri Kechagias review: I'm so glad that Virtual Vault is back. One of my favorite trance dj and producer from Black Hole stable returns with a smashing new EP perfectly timed for the summer and ready to rock and move the crowds on festivals and open air summer clubs. 2 massive cuts full of melodic goodness and powerful beats that will take us on an enjoyable ride upon the huge sea waves. Open your heart, ears and senses and experience this excellent EP that is destined to get support and many plays from anyone who loves pure honest and driving beats. It is so hard to choose my favorite but maybe because I'm an old trance buddy I'm going for Clouds Before Dawn, the classical music breakdown and that gated synthy riff does the damage for me reminding Rank 1 and others of the same high quality like Virtual Vault. After the Sunset can be characterized as big room pumper that will lead any trance fan to the most beautiful and colorful place in the earth resembling the feelings of deep satisfaction and well being that we get when we dance with our loved ones "After The Sunset" Ben aka Virtual Vault , you are wonderful, many thanks for producing so amazing music for us.
