REVIEW: Thomas Datt - Here and Now feat Ben Hayworth / 1983 out on Discover Records

First featured on Thomas Datt's debut artist album 'Picking Up The Pieces'. 'Here and Now' and '1983' were always destined to be singles.

Both now feature for the first time in their full, extended glory including Datt's collaboration with vocalist Ben Heyworth taking pole-position. Ben's superb voice complements perfectly the retro-style production from Datt.

'1983' continues the 80s-theme, this time as an instrumental, combining the chunkiest of basslines with Datt's melodic intricacies.

With remixes just around the corner - this release looks set to grace playlists and turntables well into the European summer.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The outstanding legendary record label Discover Records returns with another top release. Both tracks included are taken from the exceptional album by Thomas Datt and now are released in their extended versions perfect for pure trance dj sets.  Firstly is the exceptional Here and Now featuring the awesome Ben Hayworth on vocal duties. The track itself is a hypnotic melodic progressive trancer that is floating, flowing with awesome hair raising melodies and Ben's intriguing indie rock style vocals that elevate the track to a higher level.  The 2nd track is  1983   and for sure is another must play Thomas Datt beauty. Progressive trance at its finest with electro inspired basslines, chunky groovy beats, excellent progression of the chords that manage to create the illusion of slowly taking off from the ground reaching the highest skies and feeling the beauty of loosing gravity. The old school synths in the breakdown recall great synthy pop groups of the 80s. The melody pure and simple without excessive effects and based upon simple and effective ingredients that will have impact on your prog trance sets! Love IT
