5.Rock With Me

7.The Thunder feat. Kate Louis Smith



In June 2011, after months of hard work in the studio, Norwegian producer Ørjan Nilsen proudly presented 'In My Opinion'. Days of experimenting, blending and shaping came together in an album that is, sounds and represents Ørjan.  15 jewels of tracks tell the colorful story of musical talent, touching you on the inside with a palette of melody, beats, synths and a whole lot of feeling to glue it together. Free of parochialism and one-style-fits-all, but crossing boundaries and hitting the right spot at the right time, is what 'In My Opinion' is all about.

You’ll find all of its jewels in their full and extended versions, now gathered in this pack. Enjoy ‘In My Opinion’ all over again, and your favourites in their extended mixes.





Dimitri Kechagias review: I met Orjan Nilsen at Tomorrowland festival in Belgium and we did a wonderful interview and he explained all the creative process  involved in order to provide us the amazing album that is In My Opinion. At the moment his interview has the highest scores of viewers in my YouTube channel. Now the superb Norwegian producer is ready to offer us the extended mixes of his album tracks something that is very common after an album to release the dj friendly versions. At the moment in my hands I have 7 of the 15 exciting tracks included in his Opinion of what kind  EDM music should be played in clubs and big festivals the forthcoming winter. Dont expect to get an album that is easily recognisable genrewise. You can widely named it as Trance but definitely this album is more than just only Trance. The tracks included are  progressive tracks with trance, house, electro and tech influences too that definitely trancers will adore BUT will apeal to friends of other styles as well.  1.In My Opinion: Playful electro trance anthem with squeeky noises and strong melodic riff that goes totally mad in ravish style in the main part for pure hands in the air moments. 2.Down The Line: Electro prog trancer with tribalish beats and highly atmospheric breakdown with melodic riff that recalls trance classic for sure. 3.Dominatrix: Travelling balearic trance with heavenly dreamy  rockish guitar part. 4.Le Tour De Trance: As the name suggests is closer to driving melodic trance style with electronic little melodic riffs, dramatic drops, piano melodies and plenty of stamina to dream and dance.5.Rock With Me: Strange outer space style noises and sounds, very groovy funky rthythm and  tech trance beats that for party moments in Mars(the planet) or with Mars(the yummy yummy chocolate bar with peanuts).6.While I Wait: Big rocky powerful stomping beats with great balearic style guitar riff that goes big room and anthemic to the core at the main part for big climax moments. 7.The Thunder feat. Kate Louis Smith: Absolutely stunning vocals that showcase the ability of Orjan to produce with great ability vocal tracks. In my Opinion this album is a must have and without a doubt one of the best albums of this years cause is a  loud and proud proof that the belief of Armin's van Buuren and Armada Music on Orjan is absolutely justified and his future lies within the dance music culture. Dont miss to check out Orjan's fantastic mix on Mia Dahil - Need You Know out soon on Perfecto.
