What an amazing year 2013 was for Susana. She started it off with a collaboration with one of the godfathers of the Trance scene - Lange - landing her in the Beatport Trance Top Ten. She continued with a collaboration with Beat Service that again took her into the Top Ten, peaking at number 6. But the best was yet to come, Susana's third release was the stunning 'Ramelia' that brought her not only to the top of the Trance list but into the overall Beatport Top Twenty.
Whilst Susana's list of successful collaborations include Armin van Buuren, Rex Mundi, Ernesto vs Bastian, Ronski Speed, Stoneface & Terminal, Jorn van Deynhoven, Markus Schulz, Aly & Fila and many more, she still continues to surprise, find new names and explore new sounds.
That's where Hazem Beltagui fits the bill, one of our favourite new producers of the last couple years with a fresh take on 138 BPM. Together they deliver "Silent For So Long" - which will be debuted on ASOT 650.
Enjoy and Play Loud!
Dimitri Kechagias review: Amsterdam Trance Records is an exceptional record label with awesome releases so far! The latest vocal trance anthem comes from the hands of Hazem Beltagui who has many great releases and remixes so far on respected record labels while on vocals is one of the most beloved and adored singer in trance tracks, the fantastic Susana that her voice is so unique and manage always to strike a chord in your heart and talk to your subconscious. Silent For So Long is another dramatic story that can happen to anyone and is wonderfully translated into lyrics that Susana performs with so much artistry and depth that you can easily become part of her melodramatic story when someone for instance within a relationship stays Silent For So Long and doesn't have the chance to express her feelings and views. The track itself is a superb melodic prog trance composition with chunky groovy housey beats, pumping deep basslines, warm strings and luscius mesmerizing melodies. The breakdown is the moment whenthe orchestral classical music strings appear and Susana shines with her voice particularly in the moment she sings "Silent For So Long". You can easily imagine the picture of someone that goes through that situation being infront of you when you hear the expressive voice of Susana. The piano chords are really melancholic and sad and highlight in the finest way Susana's breathtaking performance. The climax is full on hands in the air with rave style distorted synthy lead well known on Armin's Gaia tracks perfect to drop on the peak time moment of your progressive trance sets. The package includes the magnificent dub mix as well but is unthinkable for me to play this track without Susana. Her performance is an integral part of this jewel. #PureGold. Love IT!
