Ethereal Love is the first single from the, as yet untitled, forthcoming Bernie Allen album and it's a corker. Driving percussion and modern production technique's provide a solid backbone for the track, with a dark and moody main riff giving way to some lush pads and a gated vocal breakdown that's a real nod to the old school of progressive trance. It's one for the LL purists and dare we say it wouldn't have sounded out of place in one of Sasha or Oakenfold's sets from 1999.
On the remix we have Adam White (Whiteroom) and Adam Dowling's new Blanka project and what a great sound these chaps make when they get together. Tight drums and a killer bass line give the first half of the track an addictive groove before flooring us with a stunningly inventive take on Bernie's original breakdown. From there the boys lead us into a killer second half with some fresh chord changes and melodies taking things up a level. With their brilliant Red Earth single forthcoming on Lost Language, we see can big things happening for Blanka.
Finishing off the package we have two exclusive tracks from the Bernie Allen vaults, Lychee and Day Blindness, both swimming in melody and packing an atmospheric punch.
Bernie Allen - Lychee by Bernie Allen
Dimitri Kechagias review: Lost Language is one of the most legendary record labels in the UK EDM scene and remains for many years now very respected and beloved for many as a result of the awesome releases. For example don't forget to check the forthcoming Bernie Allen Ethereal EP including the self titled Ethereal Love and 2 more additional production plus the big remix by Blanka. The original track Ethereal Love is absolutely magical piece of high quality electronic music that happens to be called progressive trance. Cinematic atmosphere will travel your mind while your body will feel obliged to follow the rhythm and the rocking beats and basslines. Its one of those cases that you close your physical eyes and allow the eyes of your soul to see the truth inside the superb production that Bernie has composed for us to remind us what real trance is all about. Pure quality electronic sounds, melodies, voices and epic melancholic melodic layers to let your imagination freak out. Nice to see the superb Adam White back with his new project Blanka. Powerful progressive trance on the balearic tip with bubbly beats, tough driving basslines and superb work done in the breakdown with great electronic style melodies that lead us on the psy trance infused main part. Day Blindness is a deep mesmerising progressive trancer with heartfelt melodic layers, breathing effects and vocal lines in the background to add a dark hypnotic dimension to it. Lastly Lychee follows the same path with deep haunting basslines, light drum beats, electronic melodic layers to offer you the best electronic acupuncture and ethnic style voices travelling your mind to mysterious dark spaces and places or in a sun shinning beautiful beach in India. Don't miss it, its a chance to reconnect with trance and feel it pure and undiluted. Love IT!
