REVIEW: Santerna - Envision/Parallax(Intro mix) out on Songbird/Black Hole



1. Envision (Original Mix)
2. Envision (Santerna Large Piano Mix)
3. Parallax (Intro Mix)


Santerna presents the brand new titles "Envision" and "Parallax" on the Songbird imprint.

"Envision" will be a like a refreshing waterfall for the true lovers of well arranged and symphonic deep trance. Santerna carefully builds up his track with a subtle intro and works with a steady pumping baseline towards the theme of the song. This striking part of "Envision" is the break, in which a beautiful grand piano takes over. The result is a fragile, but powerful melody line that will work perfectly for a lengthy trance set with a lot of emotion in it. Also don't forget to check out the fully classical Large Piano Mix.


"Parallax", the second track in the package, continues where the previous single ended and approaches us from a slightly rougher side. Once again the strength is to be found in the superb arrangement and the crisp, full use of synths. As soon as "Parallax" hits the break, it's that time for both the DJ and the light jockey to get everything out of the track to entertain the audience. The new Santerna is an undeniable beauty for every DJ out there!




Dimitri Kechagias review: One of my favorites Russian producer, the very talented Santerna aka Alexander Devyatyarov presents his latest EP on the most suitable label on earth to release his music. Songbird is the mosr appropriate label for melodic progressive music that has certain sensibilities and the  high quality standards that A&R heads at Black Hole recordings are looking for. Envision is a warm travelling and really soothing balearic prog trancer that is constantly building with more melodic layers and wonderful themes  that creates a tapestry of sounds that is rich and full of sybstance. The long breakdown is colorful romantic and really sensual perfect for those come closer moments late at night. Large Piano Mix is a chill out loungy version perfect to mash up or to use it on its own. The second track is the superb Parallax that comes back from the previous EP in a very unique intro mix that can be used perfectly to open your dj set with added value and grace. The track has intensity, drive, superb melodic layers coming and going and overall is very enjoyable listening experience that can do well on the dancefloor as it has the needed sparkle to fire up your set. Exceptional stuff on Songbird that you dont expect nothing less of course
