1. Original Mix
Shane Halcon’s career began humbly with “small town” beginnings in Pretoria, South Africa where he, as a teen, established himself as an aspiring professional sportsman, and, after a dramatic career change, turned to a world renowned DJ. After a one year-long collaboration as part of established EDM duo First State, Shane decided it was time to take a step back and return to his roots, back to the progressive and trance sounds that sparked his passion years prior. This return was welcomed by fans and, also inspired the name for his new radio show, “Reprise”.
Shane has performed at Privilege for ASOT550, ASOT 550 Moscow, Ministry of Sound, Kazantip, hosted a residency at Es Paradis, Istanbul Official Formula 1 Gran Prix Pre-party, hosted his own floor at Africa's largest EDM event H2O, Miami Music Week, Amsterdam Dance Event and Gatecrasher. His releases have been supported by Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Richard Durand, Solarstone, Above & Beyond, Myon & Shane54, Judge Jules, Dash Berlin, Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate, Roger Shah, Eddie Halliwell, Paul Oakenfold, Mat Zo, and many more.
"Writing's On The Wall", an outstanding production made in collaboration with Strobe and vocalist Roberta Harrison, offers a new look at tech-trance, vocal trance - all blended with grinding electro house elements. A growling bass line immediately sets the pace for the rest of the track, which unzips like a tight package of big synths, a nice and lengthy break and the vocal workout by Roberta Harrison. The positive undertone of "Writing's On The Wall" makes this a superb feelgood floorfiller.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Shane Halcon is ready to conquer the EDM community with his latest production along with the super talented Strobe with the vocal support by Roberta Harrison. The track is called Writing's On The Wall and will definitely become one of your favourite if you love the progressive trance sound. It starts are chunky, groovy and shaking with distorted basslines and on top Robert Harrison's exceptional vocals that seems to sound perfect within dance tracks. The breakdown is really magical with Roberta's performance that sound really sad and melancholic along with that very touching piano melody on top. The huge epic synths are coming next to raise the tension and lead nicely on the massive full on euphoric sing a long climax. It follows the progressive trance codes and conventions really successfully with a light touch of pop as well and definitely smells like summer when you play it. It would be great idea to add some more underground remixes as well. Love IT!
