1-Original mix
2-Adam Ellis remix
Luke Terry has built a rock solid reputation as a producer, renowned for his euphoric and uplifting melody lines. In early 2010, Luke Terry was signed to John O'Callaghan's famous Subculture imprint with "Arpora" featuring the vocals of Kerry Leva, appearing once again in 2012 with the pounding single No Control which now sees a well deserved follow up with "Optica".
Opening "Optica" with an energetic, high BPM, Luke steadily works his way towards an almost orchestral composition for strings, creating an instant main room atmosphere with an undeniably classic anthem feel to it. Once the break sets in, "Optica" unwinds with soft padded synths, leading to a towering climax that begs to be dropped at the peak of every DJ's live set.
UK hot-tip Adam Ellis, creator of possible Summer 2013 anthem 'Napalm Poet', delivers the remix, providing a more club edged crisp remix. Top class!
Dimitri Kechagias review: John O'Callaghan is on a mission to bring you the finest uplifting gems. Not only his legendary sets are discussed in the social media many days after but also his record label Subculture goes from strength to strength with beautiful uplifting trance bangers. Next on board is the beloved Luke Terry and his anthem Optica. The original mix is pure euphoric trance at its finest with that special touch that only Luke add in his production. Driving basslines, pumping beats and most importantly strong melodic themes to hook your attention straight away. Cool breakdown with acid overtones and here we go again straight to the top. Breakdown is packed with ambience, romantic piano melodies and the revelation of the main synthy lead that comes at the very front loud and proud. Its simple and beautiful classic uplifting trance arrangement that you can only like. On board is Adam Ellis who gets the full hearted support of John O'Callaghan and if you check his remix is pretty clear to see the reason. Adam delivers the straight forward uplifting trance sound with modern twist. Underground, rough, raw composition that is very melodic and floating as well. Particularly in his breakdown expands effectively the main synthy riff by building even more tension and anxiety until to reach the climax with his wild and nasty drum roll and flanger effects. In his climax we are transported to outer space totally ecstatic with hands in the air. Feel the power of underground uplifting and beloved trance sound. Love IT!
