Dimitri Kechagias review: He is considered one of the first djs to support the balearic trance sound that in a very magical way radiates the summer vibes and the amazing energy of the sun rays to  the dancefloor. Roger Shah with his label Magic Island and his solo productions stays true to the amazing atmosphere that great Islands like Ibiza offers to its visitors. Openminded opened new grounds for Roger who attempted successfully to incorporate progressive house/electro house infusions as well. The remix album was on everybody's lips and now that landed just before the summer season will  refresh the sound of the tracks and reintroduce them to its audience. The talented illitheas adds his big room trance touch on Openminded. He goes proglifting trance rather than full on uplifting by adopting a massive distorted rave style synthy lead. The beloved Signum service an excellent traditional Signum style version on Morning Star featuring the magnificent  Moya Brennan on vocals. Deep haunting basslines, pumping rough beats and epic breakdown with cinematic atmosphere that teases the audience perfectly for the full on climax. Hands will stay long in the air when this will be on. Can we ask Signum to return with tracks like this one soon please?? Obsession  feat. Chris Jones is remixed by Sean Norvis & Seepryan who deliver a stunning proglifting version with punchy basslines, tribal proggy beats, rock guitar riffs  and awesome luscius melodies leading to full on climax.  Roger Shah & Nuera collaboration  Guess is remixed by Arisen Flame in true full on euphoric uplifting trance version with great percussion, energetic driving basslines and long mysterious atmospheric breakdown to die for that carry you away in full on epic climax. The upcoming uk producer Hanski does his playful electro prog trance magic and transforms In The Light featuring Sian Kosheen in his own unique sound. Energetic raw basslines, in your face construction, tribal drums and huge orchestral style music theme in his breakdown followed by epic synths to raise the hair from your back followed by excellent euphoric climax. Roger Shah collaborates with Sian Kosheen for When The World Asleep and his good brother  Pedro Del Mar & Double V do the remix. As it seems Pedro & Double V found their other half to each other and service another ultra hot remix. Fantastic deep progressive trance with travelling beats and most importantly great luscious melodies, melodramatic piano chords, hypnotic atmosphere and Sian Kosheen ethereal voice on top. Lastly the Russian The Madison does his Deep Remix on Save It All Today feat. Ira Losco. This producer never fails to deliver and add his own unique stamp on everything he touches. Tribal techy beats, hi-nrg melodies on top, deep driving basslines and colourful lively  melodies with breaks style beats  in the highly emotional breakdown. An album that deserves to be part of your collection with timeless classics. Love iT!
