1. Original Mix
This collaboration between Menno de Jong and Adam Ellis ‘Solicitude’ is definitely not something to worry about. It’s a high level trancer that is up-to-speed and has a real dynamic and vigorous sound. ‘Solicitude’ is featured on the 20th edition of the In Trance We Trust series.
Menno de Jong is primarily a DJ, but is also known as an accomplished producer and the founder of Intuition Recordings. He was already interested in music, classical as well as modern, at a young age and took up DJ-ing as a teenager releasing his first single “Guanxi” in 2004. Since then Menno has done various successful releases and received support from such DJ’s as Tiësto and Armin van Buuren. With the ‘Intuition Sessions’ he showcases his label and his broad style of trance and progressive.
Adam Ellis is one of trance’s fresh young faces. He already made a name for himself with his debut single ‘Napalm Poet', reaching a number one position in the Beatport charts. He remixed tracks by Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Menno de Jong and Andy Duguid and only last December he released his track ‘Mandarine’ on the Subculture imprint. Now it’s time for a release together with Menno de Jong, which is also featured on the In Trance We Trust 020 mix compilation. Keep your eye on this man, because there’s much more to come!
Dimitri Kechagias review: The legendary record label In Trance We Trust part of Black Hole recordings family of labels presents the 20th anniversary edition of the excellent compilation series ITWT in 3CD format. It has been warmly welcomed from the global trance community as it brings together 3 of the hottest djs at the moment that select some of the most memorable tracks that have the words instant classic written all over them. One of the new unreleased and exclusive tracks coming from that must have compilation is the magnificent Solicitude that is produced in real perfection by the legend Menno de Jong who is doing an excellent come back at the forefront of the scene and the beloved Adam Ellis who is truly gifted producer who simply leaves and breathes the fresh air of trance music. Solicitude is straight to the point uplifting trance at its highest quality that follows faithfully the structure and arrangement of uplifting trance with tough driving basslines, punchy bouncy metallic kicks, acid overtones and little synthy riffs. The first short breakdown introduces the main melodic hook and slowly the track builds with its various sound layers towards the exceptional long breakdown with synthy plucks, piano melodies, heavenly ethereal vocal samples and the huge burst of energy that comes when the main synthy riff is unleashed to raise the roof and drive the crowds totally insane with hands in the air waiting for the big pay off moment to come and offer them the resolution they wait for. The climax is straight forward pure uplifting trance happiness that warms your heart and energise your senses to the maximum. Feel good euphoric Ibiza Trance that is of course #PureGold Love iT
