Dimitri Kechagias review: Someone can only deeply respect Alex M.O.R.P.H. for his gigantic contribution in the growth of the trance scene. He is able to deliver wide variety of EDM styles and substyles equally successful and beloved worldwide. His album Prime Mover was a big surprise for those who typecast him as just an uplifting trance producer. Superb songs that you could enjoy at home or in your night out with great singers and unforgettable melodies. Now its time for the Remixes album to come out and offer the possibility to other producers to offer their point of view to the superb originals. First of all is Sied van Riel's take on Sucker Punch. The always smiling Sied does his tricks and delivers a very tasty version that is techy, chunky, playful, driving and energetic to the maximum. His euphoric climax will send you to inhabit space for sure. With light touch of old school trance through modern trance techniques Sied offers a real peak time floorfiller. For Monday Morning Madness  feat. Shannon Hurley , the superb Alexander Popov offers his progressive trance Alternative Remix that is deep and spacey but at the same time is really energetic particularly when he reveals in his spacious breakdown with the melancholic piano melody, the huge synths with euphoric melody that will blow you away with joy and excitment.   On Waking Up The Stars with Protoculture, the Polish producer Skytech reworks the original in his own very personal style that is big room tech trance with progressive and electro influences. The dreamy balearic original is transformed into a powerful dynamic in your face summer festival friendly trancer.  Last but not least the track Jawa is remixed by Berlin's finest Stone N Forward. The duo inject their progressive trance sound that is very pleasurable and extremely uplifting. Sparkling groovy beats, driving playful basslines and luscious melodies combined with dreamy piano themes in the breakdown followed by full on hands in the air euphoric climax in its purest form. Monday Morning Madness featuring  Shannon Hurley returns through the make over of Shogun who delivers his usual Big Room / tech trance infused sound that is hard, pumping, mainstage but really melodic, addictive and highly contagius. I must confess that this track is one of the finest in the album. Sometimes I walk around and sing a long the perfect lyrics..."It's just another day..." Melody to die for and vocal of the finest. As the Italians say Mama Mia!  Secret Universe featuring the magnificent Christian Burns is remixed by the friend and long time partner Mr genious aka Woody van Eyden. This versions starts with a nice breaks intro that slowly introduce us to the stand out vocal by Christian Burns. His indie rock voice always stands out from the rest.  Woody then drives the tru(a)ck to dangerous zones of ultra hard slamming banging punchy beats and basslines with the feel good vocal on top. His breakdown is emotional and deeply sensational so expect some clubbers sing a long. Particularly when the huge synthy riffs come out to the surface better find something to hide cause the army of trancers is ready for his attack of love, peace and unity. Prime time remix not for the weak hearted. Corti Organ is part of the new generation of producers and here he delivers the goods on Bay of Bengal, that is one of the big instrumentals from the album. His version moves on the proglifting direction with nice techy beats, pumping basslines and powerful drive that keep the body fluids boiling and the steam and sweat coming out of it. Watch out for the very melodic, sweet, tender, emotional piano melody in the breakdown and the way he takes on board for his full on and right in your face climax. Close to the original but with his personal twist. Antara featuring the stunning  Sylvia Tosun is remixed nicely by Den Rize. His version is adding  the techy proglifting touch to the mindblowing euphoric original. Sylvia's inspiring mystical mythical lyrics take a new life and definitely are highlighted even more for those who search for an edgier sound. Last but not least Sun Of Ilena is remixed by the brilliant Ruben de Ronde who rises higher with his sets and remixes. The talented Dutchman transforms the original into his own brand of proglifting trance with psy trance edges as well. With bubbly beats, deep basslines, and exotic vocals and melodies you will transfer your crowd to another space for sure. The result is definitely magical and inspirational too. Of course great moment is the atmospheric breakdown that the various melodic layers are melting nicely to each other while the climax continues balearic with the exotic melody staying at the top. Next on remix duties is the magnificent Andrew Rayel who offers his Aether Remix for the heavenly trancer An Angel's Love. He elevates the track to the highest level with his pumping beats, punchy basslines and highly euphoric synths combined with techy and electroish elements and on top those intoxicating female vocals, in his very own cinematic epic style that distinguish him from others.  Matt Bukovski goes deep progressive trance with his magnificent take on I See You with Woody van Eyden & Tiff Lacey. Dreamy, tripping out progressive trancer to keep us moving through the nights and days. The talented Shane Halcon touches the magnificent Sun Of Ilena and transforms it into a beautiful balearic dreamy progressive trancer that is light, floating, relaxing and absolutely mesmerising. Colourful melodies, ethnic music sounds, sunny synths and bubbly beats work perfectly in harmony for a sonic trip in your favourite club in Ibiza. The uplifting trance producer Darren Porter Remix offers his remix services for Tales Of The Black Panther Part. 1. Darren is an expert on the way that full on, hands in the air uplifting trance should be done and he pushed the original to its limits and extracts from it all the juices and hidden pleasures. Straight to the point uplifting cracker to fire up your sound system. On board is the Russian superstar DJ Feel who smashes and remixes the superb When I Close My Eyes  with Hannah. He does what he knows best with a great mixture of big room tech trance with electro and even some old school rave style elements as well. Peak time make over to fell in love with Hannah's voice once again. Eternal Flame is remixed perfectly by Solarstone in his beloved Pure trance style. Rich delivers a truly epic remix of nearly 10 minutes that starts with fantastic intro and very soon goes full on epic euphoric trance with psy trance influences too. Packed with tones of nice luscious melodies upon driving basslines and pumping beats with old school flavour will recall for sure trance classics of 2000. You will start ask yourself if you are actually in 2013 or 2000 particularly when the long atmospheric breakdown will kick off with awesome chorus style voices and the unforgettable main melody. Pure trance, pure class without doubts. Tomas Heredia from Buenos Aires is on board too and he service an excellent tech meets trance meets electro rework on the heavenly An Angel's Love. Powerful and energetic to the very core its the kind of track that when you drop it instantly the mood changing and the crowd seems to get attached closely to the music is playing. Magnificent to blow some speakers and crack the soundsystems. Great to see how Tomas transforms the original melody in his own unique stand out style. The uber talented and Markus Schultz beloved artist KhoMha retouches  Connected  in his own dark gothic tech trance booming sound to blow your speakers and drive the masses insane with his top bass and sub basslines. For Prime Mover,  Will Atkinson service the update and he goes for an epic nearly 9 minutes big room tech trancer that stays faithful to the original and deliver a monster size hard and rough crowd screamer. Particularly his breakdown will keep many clubbers breathless for some minutes until the beat to kick back and start all over again. Steve Brian is on board as well and the very talented German dj and producer goes for his established electro meets trance meets house sound that is appreciated by wide variety of audiences. Energetic and blissful at the same time you will find yourself sing a long the top vocals by Sue Mc Laren who simply stands out and shines once again. The Dutch upcoming dj and producer Maarten De Jong service his talent  for Exstatic Avenger. His remix is a tough and rough tech trance rework that is so well crafted and balanced that will move big crowds. Exceptional use of the middle east melodies and the live like pumping drums. I can imagine even EDM style djs dropping this version as well. Sure crowd favourite for sure.Love iT
