Those that love music, understand that it unites. To honor the love for music, Armin van Buuren brings his annual mix series, live recorded on party island Ibiza. ‘Universal Religion Chapter 7’ is a fact, and so or the numerous musical jewels selected for it. This sampler brings you three brand new UR7 exclusives, with tunes by Antony Waldhorn, Eximinds and an Aly & Fila remix.
Something must be in the waters of Moldova. Last years Universal Religion has an intro track of Andrew Rayel. This year, that honour goes to his Moldovian colleague Antony Waldhorn. A young talent, producing some of the most outstanding uplifting tunes since 2010. With the grotesque and overwhelming tune of ‘Theatrum’, he may have found his big breakthrough.
The Russian/Belarus duo of Eximinds have ever had a sweet spot in Armin van Buuren’s music taste. There’s just something about their ways with melody… and that’s exactly why their new tune ‘Euphoria’ found its way to CD 1 of UR Chapter 7. A melodic trancers that simply lures you in.
Last but not least, this sampler brings the big boom of Aly & Fila. Their remix of Sergey Nevone & Simone O’Shines’ ‘Apprehension’ shows exactly why, after all those years, Aly & Fila still belong to the absolute top of the trance scene. Purely uplifting.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Armin van Buuren is definitely one of the most workaholic dj and producer on planet earth with a genius mind that works 24 hours to bring exceptional ideas to the front and keep the trance scene growing globally. The trance fans seems to understand the hard work he puts in it and for that reason crowned him for 5 times number 1 dj of the world. Maybe he is about to get the title once again this year. Now he presents the 7th chapter of his exceptional compilation Universal Religion that represents the sound of his dj sets during summer in his ASOT residency in Ibiza and the various EDM festival worlwide incl Tomorrowland & Tomorrowworld. The sampler released this week collects 3 magnificent exclusives that included on this must have collectors item compilation. First of all is the upcoming and slowly rising to the top of the ladder Antony Waldhorn from Moldova who presents his soon to become classic Theatrum. Its powerful progressive trance at its very best with intense drive, deep and dark tribalish beats, electro inspired thumping basslines and incredible breakdown with dramatic film soundtrack melody that will easily transfer you back to the Roman empire times. The climax is absolutely mindblowing with epic synths taking the command to open the gigantic doors and let the huge crowds enter the Theatrum to dance all night long. Eximinds never fail to impress and their track is rightly called Euphoria. Pure hands in the air prog trance anthem that brings to your mind Armin van Buuren when you hear it. It is tailor made to suit the needs of the number 1 to rock the crowds. Epic proglifting trancer with electro, tech infusions and beautiful chopped vocal samples, warm and delicate piano melody in the breakdown that is followed by huge distorted epic synthy lead that take us on board for an euphoric journey of love and unity. Aly & Fila are part of the compilation with their gigantic size remix of Sergey Nevone & Simone O’Shines’ beauty Apprehension. Don't expect nothing less than pure uplifting trance power with headbanging beats, acid overtones, plenty of heavy basslines and heartfelt breakdown with great piano that recall romantic film soundtracks. The climax doesn't disappoint either as it goes for a massive uplifting full on in your face feel good section that will be remembered for long. Highly recommended. Love iT
