REVIEW: Dart Rayne & Yura Moonlight - Battleship & Athena out on ASOT/ Armada Music

1. Battleship (Original Mix)
2. Athena (Original Mix)

Climbing the ladder of success at a fast pace,  Ukrainian duo Dart Rayne & Yura Moonlight make their ASOT debut with the A State of Trance 2014 approved ‘Athena’ and its sturdy brother ‘Battleship’. 

The melodies of Dart Rayne & Yura Moonlight making always manage to etch themselves in the memory of those they meet. From the vocal jewels of ‘Silhouette’ and ‘Agree To Disagree’, to the outstanding instrumental works of ‘Athena’ and ‘Battleship’. Each is a killer in their own right.  


                                                                       
Dimitri Kechagias review: The legendary record label ASOT part of  Armada Music family presents the ultra hot duo Dart Rayne & Yura Moonlight  from Ukraine with their fantastic tracks  Battleship & Athena. Battleship is an incredibly rich with content production that despite its short duration actually gives you the impression that lasts for longer. Its an exceptional progressive trancer with groovy techy beats, electrified basslines and many cinematic sound effects that keep you engaged with the track throughout its whole duration. A moment that will surprise you is when in the 2nd breakdown we hear some footsteps followed by very cool whistling of the main  melodic motif that comes afterwards in the climax with huge  rave style distorted synths to burn the club down with its stunning firestorming energy riding upon the dark tough and in your face pumping basslines. Very danceable with great rhythm, cinematic effects and very strong melodic themes that seems to be rooted within the music culture of their beautiful country, that will be remembered for long. Athena is an even stronger production that has the word epic anthem that will be labeled as classic in some years. Excellent drum programming to keep intensity levels really high supported by rougher even more in your face punchy basslines. The main part is playful with electrified basslines and chopped vocal samples supported by warm cinematic strings and romantic piano melody that crawl under your skin instantly. The main breakdown reveals the warped synthy theme that will excite and hook you straight away to it. Floating and flowing production with aggressive edges to keep it suitable for clubs and open air festivals like ASOT 650 tour and Armin Only. #PureGold Love iT
