Magnus continues his run of high quality material (starting with his collab with Thomas Datt, Borderline's first release of 2014) with a brand new EP of hybrid uplifting trance with psy elements.
Both 2nd Born and Vermillion are melodic monsters that are a cut above the usual trance by numbers that has infested the scene of late. With a huge amount of DJ's moving towards psy trance, Magnus holds firm with his own mixture which pushes a far more melodic and enveloping sound.
Jirah brings us a flavour of the 'real' psychedelic scene with an awesome full on remix, albeit a little slower than the usual 142+ bpm he is used to, allowing his remix to cross and be accessible to a more traditional trance crowd.
Lovely stuff!
Dimitri Kechagias review: Borderline Music continues to fuel our trance parties with amazing releases that simply stand out and you feel obliged as dj to play them out! The brand new EP by Magnus includes 3 brilliant tracks, 2 original and one remix by Jirah. First of all is 2nd Born that can not be easily placed in a certain pigeonhole. It's great mixture of psy trance with melodic uplifting trance sound that is really eclectic, energetic, powerful and very subtle and underground as well. Without huge synthy hooks but decorated with wide variety of beautiful melodies upon the driving bassline and the chunky groove 2nd Born resembles the underground pure trance sound of the 90's were the focus was on the melody, warmth, emotion and spirituality of the record and less on the quick excitement of drum rolls and hands in the air drops. Vermillion is a deeper translation of that new trend in trance that melts into one psy trance with progressive and uplifting in truly beautiful sound that is driving, energetic but very relaxing, sweet and calming as well. Jirah remix on 2nd Born is the straight forward psy trance translation that is rough, fast and furious with wide variety of synthy layers, heavenly ahh aahh trancestyle voices and superb arrangement that keep you interested dancing with hands in the air! If underground trance is what you are searching for this EP is what you need! #PureGold Love iT
