Premiered to exhilarating effect at Above & Beyond's sold-out 10,000 capacity ABGT050 show at Alexandra Palace, "Mariana Trench" sees Jono, Tony and Paavo return with a forward-thinking blast of modern trance that redefines the sound for 2013 and beyond.
Built around a mesmerising breakdown that combines a nostalgic musicality with a classic A&B piano motif, "Mariana Trench" harks back to the spirit of the classic Tranquility Base sound but adds a modern charge.
With intense progressive grooves and a drop that thunders the track through to an emotive conclusion, "Mariana Trench" was one of many brand new Above & Beyond tracks that will be released in coming months - all previewed during their ABGT050 set.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Above & Beyond considered to be one of the most influential groups in the Electronic Dance Music scene that have influence many young artists and put the foundations for many more talents to get inspired from them and start producing. Excellent as djs rocking the decks and managing to take always their crowd on a nice journey or as radio hosts with radio shows that considered to be the absolute showcase of the most forward thinking cutting edge music. Above & Beyond have left the safe and advantageous for them ground of the trance sound and they decided to move towards a more house oriented sound with deep grounding in trance of course. This transition was really smooth and they manage to keep their longtime followers with them without alienating them even a second. After their historical event at Alexandra Palace is the best moment to offer us another big room trance meets prog house smasher called Mariana Trench. It's what someone can easily label as peak time, mainstage banger with superb techy kicks, pumping basslines and huge dose of acid on top as well. The track reaches the magical breakdown that its main star is the cinematic piano melody that will touch your sensitive chords without doubts. The cool orchestral strings and mesmerising synths build the anticipation on which road they will follow, the big room or the euphoric one. Once again Above & Beyond remain unpredictable and provide the hard full on banging booming shaking and grooving climax with the epic strings and that deep piano melody running on top. They should return on the mainstage of Tomorrowland in 2014. We deal with another Beatport trance number 1. Love IT!
