REVIEW: Marc Simz featuring Emma Lock - Angels out on ITWT / Black Hole recordings


1. Original Mix 

Marc Simz presents his new single "Angels" on the In Trance We Trust imprint. Emma Lock was assigned for the vocals.

Marc's career began in the early days of hardcore, a style nowadays referred as old school. He created a firm reputation for himself by lining up various residencies at known clubs and festivals like Emporium Festival, Reloaded Festival, Summer Festival Nijmegen and Matrixx at the Park. He did remixes for W&W, Ernesto & Bastian, M.I.K.E, Tempo Giusto, Organ Donors, Andy Duguid and many, many more; his all time classic is still the unequalled "Forbidden City', which appeared in a new remix package not too long ago. Marc also delivered volume 18 of the famous In Trance We Trust series; his other releases for the imprint are "Stealth" and "Delusory Hopes". His previous single was a collaboration with Naomi Striemer, by the title "Out Of Sight"; this time Marc teams up with the lovely Emma Lock for "Angels".

Prolific singer/songwriter Emma Lock hit the Trance scene in 2010, wowing electronic dance music lovers with her angelic divine vocals, infectious melodies and flawless lyrics. With 18 releases so far, Emma Lock has worked with a number of established and upcoming DJs and producers. Tracks like "Hiding To Nothing" (with Beat Service) were included on "In Trance We Trust, Vol. 15" mixed by Virtual Vault and "Cut and Run" (also with Beat Service), was handpicked by Armin Van Buuren for his "In State Of Trance 2010". To date, track collaborations with Emma Lock feature on over 80 compilations; adding another gem to this long list with Marc Simz for the new "Angels".

"Angels" serves as the perfect backing track for Emma Lock's touching vocals. Marc Simz focused on an elaborate, trademark In Trance We Trust arrangement that breathes the atmosphere of classic trance anthems combined with the deep and moving elements that define a massive peak time DJ track. Featuring a lengthy break that send chills down your spine, Marc Simz sets a new standard with "Angels". 

                

Dimitri Kechagias review: In Trance We Trust is one of the older and legendary trance labels providing to the world the hottest trance anthems for many years with great consistency and always with the word quality at the top of their agenda. The brand new release comes from the studio of Marc Simz who is one of the finest Dutch trance producers that his fans and labels trust him that he will provide to them only big club smashers like Angels. He is great when it comes to handle vocals within his tracks and he proves his undeniable skills once again on Angels that the lovely Emma Lock is on vocal duties. The track itself is a powerful highly energetic peak time smasher with driving dynamic basslines, pumping progressive trance beat  and cool melodic harmonies on top. The breakdown is superb with Emma Lock shinning with her voice upon an ambient melodramatic soundscape of atmospheres and warm strings  that highlight even more her emotional  and highly fragile performance.  Emma feels deeply every little word that she sings and she makes you feel those words under your skin too. Of course the trance meister Marc Simz  slowly introduce the high nrg synths that will blow your mind for sure. When the beats kicks back for the climax and the top synth layer comes on top you can guess that the club will erupt and the only way for the clubbers will be up to the sky and beyond. Real Pure Marvelous Magical Joyfull Inspiring Vocal Trance, Please more of the same, Love iT!
