1. Whatever Happens
2. In Control
Carl B presents his brand new EP on the In Trance We Trust imprint, featuring the tracks “Whatever Happens” and “In Control”.
Most DJs that play lengthy and carefully built up trance sets, the material of Carl B is always welcome for mix transitions to big tracks with incredible synth and string programming. “Whatever Happens” is the perfect example. Carl opens the title with truly bulldozing beats, almost as if a techno track just hit the decks. But beware for Carl B’s break here, ‘cause that’s where the entire production turns into a deep and emotionally hard hitting deep trancer. “Whatever Happens” opens all the registers on the synths and the rising arrangement of the strings eventually top the whole thing off. Killer track, typical for the In Trance We Trust sound.
On “In Control”, we get to enjoy another side of Carl B’s production skills. Opening at a rather laid back BPM, he rolls out a true landscape of music packed in a smooth swaying trance cut that would even do perfectly in the live set of progressive DJs that aren’t afraid to add melody to their track list. The most climatic part of the break is the unexpected but marvelously overwhelming and towering use of long winded trance chords. Call it one of those classic productions that has a true story telling value in it. The new Carl B EP with “Whatever Happens” and “In Control” make it clear that big trance can still deliver big hit singles!
Dimitri Kechagias review: Carl B is one of those ITWT artists that always make me excited with his releases and I'm always waiting for something new from his studio. His brand new EP includes two very different tracks for different moments of your dj performance. Whatever Happens that is my favorite is what we term as big room melodic bouncer with epic breakdown including piano melodies and large swirling synths that lead us on the main part that is pure hands in the air pleasure starting with claping kind of sound and then all the way to the big room part that all various sound layers are playing together in order to offer that sense of satisfaction and confidence on the dancefloor. In Control in contrast is a deeper techier affair with dark prog house parts, as always great balearic kind of beat that drives the whole track till to reach the first small break that introduces the big melody that take us till the emotional second break. When the beat comes back goes all the way dark and without any hint of melody till to reach the point that the main melodic theme is introduced to take us till the third small break that open its way to the outro part! Overall an EP that elevates Carl B status as a quality trance producer even higher.
