1.Stellar (Original Mix)
Though you’ll rarely find anyone as down-to-earth as Armin van Buuren, the Dutchman still ever chases the shooting stars of music. Under his Gaia moniker, he created a spark with ‘4 Elements’, ‘Tuvan’, ‘Aisha’ and the official ASOT 500 theme ‘Status Excessu D’. Each piece a patiently crafted, well-thought out gem, worth an anthem’s title. With each Gaia release, Armin sets the bar higher. But higher he reaches, this time with ‘Stellar’.
One of the sure-shots of his residency sets at the Be At Space nights on Ibiza and a highlight of the Universal Religion Chapter 5 compilation, is ‘Stellar’. A solid new Gaia track, that can make any type of crowd explode. ‘Stellar’ is an energetic trancer with a twist of mystery, taste of tech and that spark you’ll only find in the Armin studios.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Its about the right time for the number 1 DJ of the world Armin van Buuren to go back to his roots and deliver a big room trance anthem of the highest callibre. He presents another stunning production under his Gaia project that he uses for that old school uplifting trance sound that many loved in the past and carry on loving in the present. Its XXL Large as it can get when a tune is carefully produced and released from the hands of Armin. It is driving and floating with positive vibrations all over it and that special touch that we all wait from him to add to his productions. The breakdown is a big payback moment with ambient atmospheres, ethnic type of female vocal samples that sound like being a sacred prayer to the gods to protect the clubbers and offer them the best time of their lives. Of course very soon the big room melodic hook is unleashed perfect to make us all jump and dance around with joy. When the beat comes back you can imagine thousands of clubbers as one making waves and following its rhythm with closed eyes for a real journey. Trance is food for thought and definitely this Trance Anthem serves that function too. Straight at Beatport trance chart no1 and it deserves it.
