1.Black Tide (Original Mix)
2.Black Tide (Thomas Datt Remix)
3.Black Tide (Phuture Live Mix)
All clad in black the new goth-psy-trance super group Federation return with yet another ground breaking single set to reinforce their position as pioneers of the new middle ground trance scene that has spawned from the area between trance and psychedelic. After their explosive debut live performance at Slinky’s 15th Birthday in the UK earlier this month, where they took the roof off in front of a packed out capacity crowd at the O2 Arena, you can rest assured that live Federation is just as explosive and unique as their studio work suggests.
“Black Tide” is Federation’s 3rd single and it further embraces the bands influences in gothic rock as well as their respective individual abilities as successful EDM recording artists.
This is trademark Federation. Moody guitar riffs, evocative vocals with driving drums and bass, this is slick and classy from the word go!
One of the Perfecto office’s favourite producers Thomas Datt does what he does best with the remix. His remix of “Full Moon Party” early in the year was in our view absolute perfection personified. His remix of “Black Tide” is equally epic. That’s what Thomas Datt does – make epic, driving trance. And we fookin’ love it.
Topping this package off is a subtle alternative Phuture Live mix from the band themselves.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The superb underground trance label Perfecto Fluoro is releasing very soon the massive new single by Federation called Black Tide. This very unique trance project proves that is possible within the trance genre to have a dynamic group that composes very strong songs with lyrics that attempt to widen the subject matter and say something more than the usual trance stories. 9 minutes of pure trance euphoria that starts with cinematic style male spoken vocal sample and very soon goes for a full on hands in the air experience but in dark industrial style without getting overexcited. Quality production from start to finish from the trance group that is making waves in the scene at the moment. If you want a version that is more melodic and uplifting Thomas Datt is taking care of it with a version that has a brighter atmosphere with rock guitar riffs and with powerful banging beats particularly in the climax after his atmospheric blissful breakdown. Thomas is one of the finest producers at the moment with great understanding of what a good trance track needs to raise roofs and satisfy stadium size crowds with unforgettable melodies and solid tight composition. Lastly the group themselves provide the Phuture Live version that starts with mysterious bells and then goes to a full on rocking sound odyssey of the finest melodies recalling great synthesizer classics by composers such as Jean Michel Jarr. Top stuff on Perfecto Fluoro. Don't forget that is included also on Paul Oakenfold's Four Seasons: Spring compilation out on Perfecto. Love IT!
