“Count The Stars” certainly is a high energy track that fits the trance / tech trance description perfectly. With plenty of crisp synth programming, stop and go beats and a piano filled, smooth break, Simon Lee and Alvin have shown what it takes to create an instant dance party in the clubs. Everyone will be ready to “Count The Stars” when the DJ plays this one at peak time.
 
Dimitri Kechagias review: AVANTI continues to build a great global reputation as highly regarded house record label with releases ranging from electro to tech and  epic progressive house. The latest smash is called Count The Stars and is going to be really large in the coming months. It has the needed strength to put fires on any dancefloor with original melodic epic euphoric synths, banging booming basslines and slammin beats that punch you in your stomach. On the main breakdown the piano theme will give the needed positive vibration to carry on the rough ride towards the massive hands in the air climax. Great production by Simon Lee & Alvin that sounds clear, crispy, crunchy and ready to rock. Love it!
