It has been just over a year since we launched IAMPHOENIX with the seminal single These Chords, from label owner Kenneth Thomas. Now we are back with the next single from KT, 'Would You Believe'.
Joining up with the vocalist Codi who made his debut with Kenneth on his recent Perfecto single Heart On Fire, 'Would You Believe' walks a deep line between trance and grooving progressive. This one is as diverse as it is a driving big room anthem.
Rising star Witness45 joins the imprint with his remix keeping the core idea in tact yet amping up the energy for a more aggressive approach!
Full instrumentals are included for each mix for those that are looking for a dubbier club feel.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The top record label IAMPHOENIX headed by the dj & producer Kenneth Thomas presents the hugely anticipated return of the label owner with his fantastic progressive trance anthem Would You Believe featuring Codi on vocal duties including Witness 45 remix. The original mix starts with chunky house influenced groove with energetic electro kissed basslines and various plucky synths that create a very pleasurable foundation for Codi to sing the optimistic feel good lyrics with his pop touched performance. The breakdown goes hands in the air with uplifting synthy stabs and the nice vocal. The climax is powerful and dynamic with white noise effects, swirling melodies ands synths that build that sense of urgency and intensity. Kenneth is a real magician behind his production decks and he did his best to impress and win our admiration. Witness 45 never disappoints and his remix as you could imagine moves on the proglifting trance category with bubbly deep basslines, chunky wonky groovy beats and emotional melodic synths. His breakdown really atmospheric and relaxing followed by the massive full on euphoric and feel good climax that works like a treat on any neo prog trance dj set. The package includes the dub versions as well for the non vocal trance lovers. #PureGold Love iT
