 Dimitri Kechagias review: The very successful series with the very exclusive tracks and remixes continues with the 4th part. Lets take look on the tracks included in this must have compilation for any Armada Music fan.    First of all is Aqua Diva with her massive vocal prog house anthem What Is Love. Better forget the other remixes because Aki Bergen service a totally different version. Deep progressive house with electronica music twist and with very distorted vocals that in a way sound distant and cold. Its a great remix for deep house sets. Karim Shaker's excellent progressive house anthem A Leap of Faith is touched by Turkish DJ Tarkan and he service a brilliant remix that will remind you progressive house tracks of the early 90s. very strong melodic synthy theme and rolling beats and basslines that build relentlessly in order to travel you in far and away places. I can imagine progressive house and progressive trance djs dropping this exceptional rework of an already high quality original track that you should have in your collection as well. Susana & Dark Matters rework the trance classic Home and Hazem Beltagui is remix it. His version is an optimistic blissful balearic progressive trancer with exceptional cinematic breakdown with ambient atmosphere and the great vocal performance by Susana. He introduces a very memorable synthy lead to get you on that Ibiza mood upon the laidback beats. Ruby & Tony are ready to reveal the monster prog trance anthem Electric Lover. It has groovy beats, playful basslines, optimistic balearic style melodies and chopped female vocal building a heavenly environment to indulge in it.  The breakdown is dominated from the huge synthy lead that will drive the track to its hands in the air euphoric climax. Roger Shah & Sian Kosheen's unforgettable Shine is remixed by Sean Tyas with his tech trance sound that is raw, rough and influenced from Nu rave and electro house. The package includes two all time favourite trance anthems in brand new versions. The excellent Lee Haslam put his hand on Signum and their evergreen classic What Ya Got 4 Me. The result is an energetic pumper  that will make many crowds go berserk this summer. Pure powerful banging sound with the characteristic synthy riff and addition of acid elements as well in the main part for a massive and satisfying climax. Rodrigo Deem transforms the classic 1998 by Binary Finary into a modern electro prog trancer that brings up to date and ready for the current sound this classic that we will adore for ever. In the very exciting breakdown the classic synthy riff is introduced and  lead us on the main hands in the air euphoric climax. Hoyaa introduce us his track Skydivers. Its straight to the point uplifting euphoric trance with epic style melody and sounds to be written by the book by following all the rules and conventions of the genre. Alpha Duo present  in this stand out compilation project their anthemic Requiem. We deal with an euphoric uplifting trancer  that stays attached to the classic well known trance composition sound  with added acid layers to make it raw and underground. Stand out point the super grand synthy riff in the hair raising breakdown that will cause damage when will be unleashed.   Last but not least Rave CHannel bring their balearic melodic driving euphoric and very sensitive Te Quiero ready for heavy use this summer. Great female vocals that stand out as always. So well produced that will amaze you for sure. 10 must have jewels, Don't miss it! Love IT!
