Veteran of the trance scene and a name synonymous with consistently high quality productions Activa returns to Fluoro with a debut single so luscious we didn’t see the need for any remixes.
Following the release of his recent massive remix of Liquid Soul’s single “Nirvana” (also on Perfecto Fluoro) at the end of 2013 – which picked up extensive support from Paul Oakenfold, Simon Patterson, Aly & Fila, John O’Callaghan, John Askew - and many more - Activa turns in a fresh new original called “Antimatter”.
This is a classy debut and a sign of what’s to come from Activa’s highly anticipated return.
Awash with soaring ’99 esque riffs in a 2014 style, “Antimatter” bridges the gap between melodic, GOA and psy trance while also keeping a foot (or other limb) firmly planted in the traditions of an authentic driving, progressive sound – as championed by the likes of Tilt back in the day.
Also look out for Activa’s latest compilation – the 3rd volume in the Full On Fluoro album series - which is due for release in April.
Activa is back.
About time.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional UK producer Rob Stevenson strikes back on Perfecto Fluoro after his really massive neo psy trance remix on Liquid Soul’s Nirvana. His new highly original and very different track is called Antimatter and is going to make happy the old fanbase of Activa but will support him to communicate with the younger psy trance following as well that seems to be on the rise. Antimatter is everything and anything that a strong trance track should be about. Atmospheric,emotional and inspirational high class journey with driving energetic psy trance infused basslines, razor sharp pumping kicks and of course melodramatic strings combined in perfection with ethnic style voices that add that sacred deep feeling to this very strong future anthem in the making. Top composition that moves within the realms of pure trance as it should be done in order to be hypnotic, dreamy and to sound out of this world like an encounter with an extraterrestrial being. Antimatter is an experience that should be heart to be appreciated in full. Expect to hear it a lot in the coming months. Lastly I must stress that Antimatter has the chord progression and the synths that are classic Perfecto Fluoro and you can enjoy if you listen the legendary Paul Oakenfold Essential Mix on Radio 1! #TopClass #PureGold Love iT
