More rocking than the Rockies, more Denver than John, Colorado’s foremost trance master Tangle blasts into 2014 with a pair of hot-ticket Jan-blues beaters!
Last year, off the back of a rush of tracks on labels like High Contrast, Lange Recordings and Fraction, Tangle soared through trance music’s production ranks. Culminating with the colossal VANDIT debut ‘Vertigo’ (alongside Tristan D), it capped a huge, career-elevating 2013 for the young Denver-ite.
Without missing a (drum) beat, his new EP for Paul van Dyk’s celebrated imprint sees him raise the bar once again. ‘Aquarius’ opens the release’s score-sheet with toughened beats, running bass and floor frying distortion. Building its synth tension up to white-knuckle levels, at the point of greatest intensity Tangle finally executes a dazzlingly exhilarating lift-off.
‘Radiate’ meanwhile bristles with floor-hardened drums & percs; propellant 303 and an intriguingly coded vocoded vox. Equalising it with a melodic lay-up, he brings Med warmth and immersion to the track’s midsection. As its snares and soaring, sweeping & panning pads bring the track’s temperature back up to boiling, Tangle spikes its apex with electro-driven grind.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The legendary trance record label VANDIT records that had huge impact in the development of the trance scene returns with an exceptional powerful and highly intensive EP by the beloved USA based producer Tangle. His previous productions were moving within the realm of playful proglifting trance sound with heavy house and techo infusions. For this EP Tangle reveals his uplifting side and he does it in the most emphatic way. Aquarius is one of those tracks that catch your attention in the club and can be easily named as crowd pleaser. Full on hands in the air euphoric banging booming trancer that combines elements of straight forward pure melodic trance with tech trance sequences in order to make it more danceable and accessible to those who like it a bit harder. It balances the aggressive rough parts with the more emotional ones while his breakdown is pure trance bliss with euphoric synths that easily crawl under your skin and change your mood instantly. The 2nd track included in the package is the awesome Radiate. Once again Tangle continues on the uplifting full on trance direction with super solid composition with wide variety of melodic soundlayers, acid overtones, chopped vocal samples and drive that will move forward minds, bodies and souls. The breakdown is dreamy and serene with sweet melodic themes and synthy lead that slowly radiates its highly emotional vibes and makes you wanna hug and kiss every human that is close to you. When the beat returns we are on board for the heavy rough tech trance section with distorted basslines and futuristic soundscapes. The melodic part comes in to sooth the proceeding a bit and here we go on the wings of VANDIT records for the uplifting trance section. If you adore the sound of Paul van Dyk & VANDIT records, this release represents it very well and is highly recommended. #PureGold Love iT
