Engaging the vocals from Audrey Gallagher for his new release "In This Moment", Andy recently presented the track as his follow-up to his collaboration with Julie Thompson titled "Skin & Bones". For this new package, Andy approached Karanda and Philippe El Sisi for some serious new remixes of "In This Moment", at the same announcing that he is currently working on a new, upcoming artist album. 

 Since his introduction with "Hypocrisy" in 2007, Andy Duguid has become a name of fame in the world of EDM. Looking back on the successes that put his name on the world map, the Scotsman has released an impressive range of remixes and singles - with "Don't Belong" and "Wasted" still being his biggest achievements; making it to Tiësto's In Search of Sunrise 6 and 7. Add to that his acclaimed artist album "Believe" and the mix compilations "Miracle Moments" and "After Dark Sessions 100" and it is clear that we're dealing with a prolific artist whose career is only going upwards. Earlier this year Andy was asked by Emilio Fernandez to produce his upcoming album "Suite 16"; later on he was also asked to remixed Betsie Larkin's hit single "No Sustitute For You". Still Andy was able to secure studio time for "Skin & Bones" and "In This Moment", his new single. 

 Audrey Gallagher’s studio portfolio includes nearly all names in electronic dance. Her work with the likes of Armin Van Buuren, Agnelli & Nelson, John O’Callaghan and Claudia Cazacu, resulted in the number 1 U.K. dance hit "Holding On To Nothing" and Armin's Tune Of The Year "Big Sky". Wrapping her vocal embrace around Andy's composition, she gives "In This Moment" a magical feel. 

 On "In This Moment", Andy's production train runs at full speed with sparks flying in every direction. As with his previous single, we hear the development in Andy's sound. Fresh, slightly housey drum patterns, airy synth programming and an overall inspirational feel dominate the track, perfectly accommodating Audrey's adorning singing. "In This Moment" breathes positivity and togetherness and makes for an absolutely massive hit for this summer's ruling outdoor events. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: When you notice the name of Andy Duguid in a release as a solo producer or as a remixer you are  pretty sure that you deal with a high quality production that global crowds will welcome for sure. His latest fantastic track is called In This Moment and features the magnificent vocals by the one and only Audrey Gallagher. The track itself is a driving  balearic trancer perfectly in tune with the summer atmosphere that demands easy going relaxing tracks that will travel your mind and soul to faraway places that only music can transfer you. The beats are techy and groovy with house edge while the basslines are energetic and you feel that are pushing you one step further. The melodies are luscious and blissful while the main synth theme is epic and very euphoric as well. The breakdown is mesmerising with Audrey performing her part in the most effective way, touching you deep inside. Her voice conveys calmness, mystery and reassurance like your mother or beloved lover  that everything will be ok particularly if you let all inhibitions and feel This Moment in the middle of the dancefloor with hands in the air. The climax is full on and straight forward with hands in the air synths and in your face basslines. Andy & Audrey  deliver a high quality vocal trancer that stays truthful to the roots of the trance genre with hypnotic feel good atmosphere. Now the superb Karanda from London and the Egyptian  Philippe El Sisi are on board to add their point of view in this amazing beauty. Firstly Karanda inject their proglifting trance sound that we are accustomed to get from their safe hands. Their two breakdowns are deeply emotional and cinematic but very soon the huge drumsrolls will lead us on the massive climax with raw and aggressive basslines along the pumping beats plus a very strong dubstep infused sequence in the second breakdown that seems to work like a treat with the whole track. The final part is euphoric and punchy perfect for heavy work out on the dancefloor. Philippe El Sisi on the other hand  take us on board for an uplifting euphoric trance journey that will energise your soul and help you to escape in another faraway dimension. Acid touches, euphoric synths, melodramatic piano themes in the breakdown that beautifully lead on that straight forward pure uplifting trance sound perfect for open air trance stages. For the non vocal lovers the package includes the dub mix and for the radio programmers a very useful radio edit. Highly recommended remix package not to be missed. Also do not forget to check out the fantastic music video that has caused already a lot of discussion about its hidden meanings and undiscovered themes. Love iT!
