A new name to many perhaps, but in his homeland of South Africa, Zaxx has been building a reputation for floor storming productions and just as impressive behind-the turntables-performances. Following the Beatport chart busting ‘Emirate’, ‘Worlds Collide’ and 2013’s Tiff Lacey vocalled ‘Feel Me’, with ‘Illusion’ Zaxx has fashioned an all-new floor conqueror for the New Year.
From the very first boom of its imposing, hold-tight drums, ground up Zaxx constructs a floor-transfixing production foundation for ‘Illusion’. Energized by propellant bass and hyper catchy & infectious sub-melodies, it has the mercury rising fast. With the South African phasing up the mainline and affecting a devastatingly controlled release of the filter, he engineers its critical mass.
Be under no ‘Illusion’, this is a white-knuckle, biggest-ride-in-the-park track!
Dimitri Kechagias review: Vandit records headed by the pioneer and beloved dj & producer Paul van Dyk presents the first release for 2014. If you checked it out I'm sure that you will scream out Welcome Back Vandit to the uplifting classic Vandit trance sound. After the more neotrance/ EDM oriented releases Vandit records brings to the trance masses the awesome Illusion produced by the South African Zaxx. We deal here with a magnificent uplifting trancer that runs fast and furius with 142 BPM so better be prepared to dance and sweat a lot. Banging bouncy metallic beats, punchy driving energetic basslines and warm strings on top along with some vocal snippets. The first teasing parts of the very strong piano melody appear to excite us all and drive us nicely in the long breakdown. What you will notice in here is the highly atmospheric sounds that give you the Illusion that a well known rock band is playing somewhere in the stage. The piano melody fully appears and is impossible not to feel shivers all over your body and the hair standing still. The big synthy lead appears and slowly the drum roll builds the tension for the massive climax. When the beat drops you should fly high with hands in the air and big wide smile in your face. You feel super happy thats for sure but quite melancholic as well cause this piano melody will haunt you and will be remembered for long. Straight to the point epic uplifting emotional trancer of the highest calibre. Let's hope Vandit records will keep on the same uplifting route. Love IT
