1. Original Mix
 2. Jaytech Remix
3. Tom Fall Remix
4. Radio Edit 

 Singer-songwriter Julie Thompson and Finnish duo Super8 & Tab recently released their collab 'Your Secret's Safe' on Magik Muzik. Probably the most anticipated trance track of 2013, 'Your Secret's Safe' debuted at ASOT 600 in Kuala Lumpur and set the Twitterverse ablaze with questions about who could possibly be behind the unidentified track. When it was announced that Julie's vocal trance anthem was aligned with Super8 & Tab as the lead single off her sophomore album, Eye Of The Storm, everything clicked into place, leading to the immediate release of the original version. The pulsating bass drives the listener towards an emotional piano interlude that, combined with tug-on-your-heartstrings lyrics and aching vocals, leads in to a synth symphony of epic proportions.

 The original version now appears in a new single package, including remixes by Jaytech and Tom Fall. Each overhauling the song in their own unique way, the producers manage to re-interpret 'Your Secret's Safe' with exhilarating new arrangements.

 It would only seem fair that a collaboration of this level of quality would come once in a career, but 'Your Secret's Safe' is Super8 & Tab's and Julie Thompson's second joint venture, after 2010's smash 'My Enemy.' Her latest track 'Skin & Bones' with Andy Duguid is currently making the radio show rounds, with support from Above & Beyond, Tritonal and others. Now with her next surefire success 'Your Secret's Safe', Julie heads full throttle towards the release of her album this summer.

 Says Julie: "When I started writing the songs for Eye Of The Storm, Super8 & Tab were at the top of my producer list, so I was really excited to have them work on this track with me. They've managed to capture the emotion of 'Your Secret's Safe' perfectly. This song is really close to my heart and I'm really excited for it to finally be out there."

 With an eclectic background almost as varied as her vocal stylings, Julie Thompson has become a tour de force within the dance music scene, first debuting in 2003 with the classic Holden & Thompson - 'Nothing.' In 2007, she hit the world stage for a collaboration with Tiësto called 'Do You Feel Me,' which was part of his hugely popular album and subsequent tour, Elements of Life. Her debut solo artist album Feeling For Corners was released on Black Hole Recordings in 2009 to huge critical acclaim, displaying her matured vocal performance and songwriting abilities. In 2013, the UK-based songbird will give vocal trance music fans ten new tracks to sing along to and blazing hot new material for DJs on dancefloors across the world.

'Your Secret's Safe' is one of my favourite tracks from Eye Of The Storm and feels like the perfect first single as it really sets the tone for what's to come. I'm very proud of this album. It's taken awhile to finish but I wanted to take my time and produce something I was completely happy with," says Julie



Dimitri Kechagias review: The incredible  Julie Thompson, one of the finest female singers in the EDM scene is back with another future trance classic. Your Secrets Safe is an amazing song with lyrics that will stay in your heart for ever and with Julie's performance that shines and make you wanna sing a long with her.On the production front are the magnificent Finish duo Super 8 & Tab who never disappoint and always deliver the goods we are accustomed to wait from them. From their Anjunabeats unforgettable classics to their latest anthems on Enhanced recordings their sound is more mature, delicate and absolutely danceable. For this top anthem they service an excellent neo trance soundbed with electro kissed playful basslines, techy chunky beats and great piano chords on top. The luscious balearic style melodies highlight the vocals strength and take you on board for a nice summer vacations journey. The breakdown reveals huge anthemic style epic synths that will blow your head and get the crowd wild screaming and shouting that they want more. Euphoric to the maximum the climax is pure hands in the air trancer as we love it to be. The perfect moment for the fireworks festivities to begin and the intense lazerwork to be in full effect. Your Secrets Safe is a modern vocal neo trancer with roots in the past of the beloved genre but with an eye in the future. The remix package will satisfy even more friends. TheAustralian Jaytech delivers the magnificent melodic deep prog house meets trance version with lighter balearic arrangement. The beats are relaxing, the basslines deep and the breakdown pure pleasure with piano, balearic guitar riffs and huge synthy riff to excite. The deep prog house/trance djs will be very satisfied with this right and exact version that applies the full vocal. Its actually great idea Julie to work with Jaytech for her forthcoming album. The big talent from Finland is of course Tom Fall who lands with his big room epic prog house meets trance sound. His highly versatile remix will impress you with his breathtaking breakdown that piano melody and Julie vocals will break many hearts. He introduces a brand new synthy riff along with hand claps to tease his crowd until to land on his full on banging, shaking, rocking and booming climax. Excellent remixes for one of the finest vocal trancers of the summer 2013, Highly recommended. Adore IT!
