One of Trance's most exciting producers at the moment is Garuda Music's own head of A&R, Craig Connelly. Back with his second release of the year, Craig draws inspiration from his biggest supporter and other half for a euphoric tribute titled 'Lioness.' Out on April 7 and already seeing support from Gareth Emery and Armin van Buuren, 'Lioness' is sure to take its place as the leader of the pride in this year's Garuda releases.
The follow up to his Beatport chart-topping January release 'Decibels,' 'Lioness' is a beast of a track complete with ferocious synths, sparkling melodies and a stunning progressive string build-up fit for a queen. From start to finish Connelly displays his true talent and ear for music with the seamless progression between the darker and lighter sides of Trance, all while maintaining the big sound fans have come to love from Garuda.
Stay tuned for the upcoming Orjan Nilsen remix of 'Lioness,' and make sure to catch Craig Connelly at his upcoming performances at Global Gathering in the UK and Holland's FSOE Vs Subculture event by following his tour dates on his Facebook at www.facebook.com/craigconnellymusic.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Do you search for world class trance releases that will be played all over the world and dominate the trance charts? If your answer is YES don't look any further than Garuda Music. The label headed by the trance pioneer Gareth Emery brings constantly amazing tracks that stand out on any dj set and you get immediately thousands of requests about the title of the track you were playing. The brand new Garuda chart and dj playlists stormer is called Lioness and is produced the by the sure and safe hands of the fantastic Graig Connelly who is on fire and he is booked to perform on the finest trance events around the world. Its called Lioness and you better get ready for an explosive big room trancer that will blow speakers and create mayhem on any mainstage set. With an open minded approach and high class aesthetics the track has that cosmopolitan trance feel that you get on top labels like Garuda. The tough techy drum beats, sharp rough kicks, driving energetic basslines and most importantly the superb breakdown that goes straight to the business core in very short time and utilises to the maximum the addictive euphoric synthy lead that is so epic and powerful that you can not stand still even for a second I'm afraid. The climax rocks with the excellent rhythm that you can not resist, the strong groove and the emotional synths crawling under your skin and touching deeply your soul. You feel hypnotised and totally surrendered to the superpowers of the beats! Graig gives you Gold, #PureGold to be exact! Love iT
