"When I was looking for collaborators for my last artist album I listened to literally hundreds of vocalist/songwriters (known and unknown) and the beautiful, dreamy, lush vocals and insightful, intelligent and captivating lyrics of Betsie Larkin completely blew me away. I knew that she was special" Ferry Corsten


Betsie Larkin’s debut electronic dance album, All We Have Is Now, is finally here. The first single, also titled ‘All We Have Is Now’, produced by Finnish duo Super8 & Tab, sent waves through the dance music community shooting up the Beatport and Music Week Club charts.

Upcoming single, ‘The Dream’, produced by John O’Callaghan has everything required of a dance anthem. Energetic and driving, it soars into the chorus, and delivers at every turn. Betsie’s voice cuts through with her trademark strong messaging; ‘I keep chasing the dream. I keep chasing the fire inside me. Throw the map on the street. We’ll find out where this fire was meant to lead…’



Dimitri Kechagias review: Betsie Larkin's debut EDM album "All We Have is Now" is widely considered as one of finest albums and definitely from the highlights of a year that slowly comes to its end. After the excellent "All We Have is Now" with Super 8 & Dj Tab its time for her collaboration with the Irish trance master John O Callaghan to be released as single with a very impressive set of mixes. The original club version is a powerful melodic prog trancer that works perfectly with the optimistic lyrics performed so beautifully from Betsie Larkin. Perfect to use as an open track in a big room set but also sounds so great for relaxing Sunday listening at your living room. The remix package will take the track to its natural enviroment that is the club of course. First of all one of the finest Dutch trancemasters Rafael Frost delivers the tough uplifting trance version with industrial electro prog trance beats and superb new melodic riffs to push the track to a higher level. Just wait for the breakdown to arrive and the large synthy riffs to be revealed to bring the ultimate euphoria. This is real solid pure and powerful trance sound. Jquintel, Jeziel Quintela & Manufactured Superstars remix goes all the way to the electro tribal prog house territory by adding their dirty twisted beats and greedy basslines that are typical of their well known and established style. Its a more playful version so Betsie to get her groove back. Last but not least the awesome producer Jason van Wyk goes all the way to the deepest shades of trance and he skillfully provides his bubbly grooves with balearic guitar riffs and warm basslines to take you on board for a hypnotic magical journey. Its such an inspirational track to keep on chasing our dreams with quality music on our ipod cause music is a driving force that can change even the world. Thanks Betsie and John for this fantastic track.
