1-Original Mix
2-Tritonal Remix
A highlight from Above & Beyond's TATW400 set, Super8 & Tab's "Awakenings" has enjoyed a flood of online buzz and anticipation ever since this high profile debut airing. The first full release from Miika Eloranta (Super8) and Janne Mansnerus (DJ Tab) for just over 12 months, "Awakenings" is an electrifying return - teeming with energy, groove and melody.
Beginning on a cheeky electro-house influenced groove, "Awakenings" brings Super8 & Tab's distinctive twist to the modern trance sound - before arriving at a towering, intensely uplifting melodic breakdown with all the hallmarks of classic Super8 & Tab. Dropping into an energetic and euphoric release, "Awakenings" is an impressive sign of what's to come from the Finnish duo.
Another act making a welcome return to the label, US-based duo Tritonal get freaky and technical with the synth riff - as well as roughing up the groove. A futuristic, fresh, highly charged and inventive remix, Tritonal's remix is the perfect companion and another slick modern trance groover.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The finest trance duo from Finland returns for another super large anthem with the very inspiring title Awakenings. Its so true that if you experience this great record in a dancefloor you can sense its immense supernatural powers taking over the clubbers and transfer them into a higher plain that only trance music can do of course. Awakenings is a brilliant progressive trancer that starts quite playful and quirky with electro trance basslines but very soon this fantastic track is shaped to become another huge classic as its melody sounds very classy and brings to your mind Anjunabeats moments from the glorious past of trance music that we can not forget easily. Cool vocal sample remind us about the title of the track and very soon we land on the breakdown. Its right inside that part that the big revelation will happen and the ultra large very strong synthy melody will splash out big time and will send shivers all over your body. You can imagine how the crowd will react to it particularly when the rocking beat returns and on top is that extra fat synthy riff that will drive each and every single listener out of their heads and as the title suggests will Awaken their emotions and senses for sure. The talented duo from Texas sounds the most appropriate to recreate this massive anthem into a bouncy sharp electro prog trancer on their own very characteristic Tritonal sound. Groovy with superb percussion and very exciting composition that is playful and chunky with influences from wide variety of styles will keep the blood pumpin as long as it lasts and is guaranteed that you will get the rush that you were longing for. Two superb versions for one of the biggest trance releases of 2012. Love It!
