We celebrate our landmark 50th release courtesy of Swedish hotshot JP Bates aka Patrik Andersson who teams up with UK songstress Antonia Lucas to deliver one of this years hottest vocal trancers Closer.

Patrik's symphonic production combines beautifully with Antonia's dulcet tones, exposing their twinned talents in truly stunning fashion.

Friend and fellow countryman Jonas Hornblad takes the lead on remix duties and raises the bar with a progressive rework, emphasizing the vocal and boasting an epic big room feel.

Perceptive regular ReOrder also turns his hand to a more downtempo sound yet he encapsulates the energy of the original with an air tight production featuring a rivetting low end. 

Dimitri Kechagias review: Perceptive continues to be one of the finest and most important trance labels in UK and after the massive Fast Distance & Dimension super EP returns with what can be called as one of the finest vocal trancers that I had the chance to review lately. Of course JP Bates is one of the biggest producers around delivering only well rounded and straight to the point uplifting beauties. His brand new anthem is simply not to be missed if you consider that the amazing Antonia Lucas is singing on a really erotic sexy romantic uplifting love song. I can imagine many couples kissing each other on the dancefloor when the the really atmospheric and full of strong emotions breakdown come in. I love the way that the vocals are choped and played around adding summer  feeling all over the place. Jonas is another great producer that he is reliable to take any original and turn it into his own terms and deliver something really unique and special. Progressive bubbly beats, great strings and clear and crispy use of that vocal that will make many girls and boys coming closer and enjoying life. The big synthy swirling riff adds an epic proglifting trance style that is simply irresistable not to let yourself go and dance along with it. Last but not least the lovely ReOrder impress us all with a version that packs sunshine rays, Ibiza beaches and clear and clean seasides. His talent is one that must be highlighted as this producer continues to grow even bigger with his beautiful way of building a vocal track and allowing the voice to have its own space to shine. Awesome stuff, pure quality, Love IT!
