1. Original Mix
Securing his position at the forefront of the scene, First State latest single “Lourdes” is ready to take over.
First State's previous single "Batlle Of Hearts featuring Fenja" harvested massive support and marked the successful trail he's been on since his release of "Humanoid”, "Why So Serious", as recorded with the young Boston native Jake Shanahan and "Seeing Stars", which featured Sarah Howells.
"Lourdes" aims straight for the heart of those who dig First State's copious, trademark use of synths. First State drops the beat a few times for calmly floating strings and piano-like melody lines, preparing the dancers for when he brings the beat back. "Lourdes" is prime-cut, hands in the air, outdoor material that may well reach the top of the radio charts.
Dimitri Kechagias review: From the land of Tulips and tasty cheese comes Sander van Dien aka First State. To be more exact his residing at Dordrecht, The Netherlands but his music actually is spread all over the world. The very talented Dutch powerforce of dance continues his adventure into peak time epic prog house and he does something very stunning that you must hear it first to believe it. In contrast with many of his fellows djs who toughen up their sound and incorporate even hard dance basslines in their tracks First State presents the more melodic and trance friendly version of the epic prog house sound. The beats are tough and basslines pumping while the breakdown reveals a such a beautiful melody that you will think that you hear trance rather than epic prog sounds. It will calm you and transfer you to another dimension without doubts. When the epic synths land we all know that things will get hotter and steamier. His master when it comes to climaxes and Sander service another ultra fantastic euphoric part that prog house and trance djs will adore for sure. First State is one of the most capable producers out there and in my opinion he still has great arsenal of ideas that we will hear in the near future. First State is lucky to be with Magik Muzik and Magik Muzik is lucky to have First State. We are lucky to have Lourdes. Highly recommended. Love iT.
