REVIEW: Alex O'Rion - The Friendly Giant out on Magik Muzik / Black Hole recordings

1. Original Mix
2. Trance Mix

3. Rolando Vallice Remix
4. Second Way ProgLift Remix

Alex O'Rion presents his brand new single "The Friendly Giant" on the Magik Muzik imprint.

This year Alex O'Rion really has been on a roll as a producer. Singles like "Letters From Jupiter", "Blueprint" and "Satellite" all harvested major acclaim, the telltale signs of an artist whose career is steadily going up. Alex is part of one of the U.K.’s foremost DJ agencies, successfully initiated his own radio show/podcast and handles the A&R for the Terminal 4 label. It was Alex O'Rion's major debut album entitled “The Bigger Room” that put his name as a highly skilled producer on the world map; not to mention the enthusiastic response from all the big names in the industry. It is a known fact that his unique sound first caught the attention of the world’s top-tier of DJs, encouraged from the start by the musically likeminded Richard Durand, after which he laid the foundations for his first long-player. Presenting his brand new single "The Friendly Giant", Alex O'Rion shows the competition one more time that he's still on top of his game.

"The Friendly Giant" continues where Alex's previous EP ended. The original mix breaks down the walls with rock solid tech trance, deep sub bass and a painstakingly composed arrangement. The trance mix almost sounds like a tribute to the big classics from back in the days and sports a truly killer version of the original. Rolando Vallice worked his subtle, techy magic and Alex himself revisited "The Friendly Giant" to make sure that even the progressive DJs can add the track to their live sets.


Dimitri Kechagias review: Alex O'Rion is considered to be one of the big hopes in the EDM scene with great personal album and fantastic remixes for various artists. His latest club banger is called The Friendly Giant and the title describes well the content. The original is a gigantic bouncy banging club trancer with mechanical cold beat, rough basslines and very huge epic size melodic theme perfect for the peak time moment of your set. The release is supported by top additional remixes to widen its audience even more. Trance mix is the trancier more melodic approach. It sounds faster, floating and flowing with great synthy themes on top and big thunderous basslines to energise your innerself instantly. It's Pure hands in the air trance euphoria at its very best. Rolando Vallice Remix is great progressive trance translation with funky edge that is playful, melodic and very groovy indeed. It has certain appeal and warmth waiting to be discovered. Last but not least Second Way provides the more upfront full on euphoric trance version that pushes the original melodic themes to  the uplifting territory with mindblowing effects. Hands will stay for long in the air and smile will be all over your face when the dj will drop it. If you are the dj expect satisfied and happy faces on the dancefloor. Prime time killer weapon from Alex who rise higher and raise the bar even more. Love iT!
