Belfast’s finest Walsh & McAuley return with their 4th single for Touchstone. Gleaned from Solarstone’s Pure Trance Vol. II is the fabulous ‘Ashgrove Throne’. Laced with rousing synth lines and an evocative spoken vocal from Orla Feeney, this is a gorgeous example of melodic trance music. Increasing the pressure is UK rising talent Daniel Skyver, with a 138bpm slammer, which retains the key musical ingredients and serves them with an extra helping of peak-time punch. Added to this package is a neat instrumental of the original and also a handy Acapella for your mixing pleasure.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most consistent and beloved artists is the brilliant Irish duo Walsh & McAuley. Their magnificent melodic balearic progressive trancer Ashgrove Throne is one of those beauties that meet you by chance on the dancefloor and stay in your heart thereafter. The original is the epitome of Pure Trance with fantastic energetic basslines,bouncy groove and fantastic drive that manage to carry you away for a magical ride easily. Very emotional and deep synthy melodies are combined with epic strings and fantastic inspiring female spoken vocal sample that works perfectly with the music soundscapes that the trusted duo have crafted so carefully and gently for us. Daniel Skyver is on board and he never fails to impress. His version transforms the slightly balearic original into a dynamic and superbly energetic uplifting pure trancer. Daniel follows the UK trance dogma with heavy kicks, driving basslines and euphoric synths combined with acid overtones. On top he sprinkles some piano melodies as well in order to enhance the emotional depth of the track. The result is a powerful and highly addictive feel good trancer ready for Ibiza floors and summer festivals as well. The package includes Instrumental version of the original and Acapella as well for those who would like to approach it in a creative manner! #PureGold Trance! Love iT
