Dimitri Kechagias review: The collaboration between Menno de Jong, Stereojackers v Mark Loverush, and Shelley Harland had as a result the trance anthem Connected. Now the legendary and globaly respected and loved label Magik Muzik presents the full package of additional remixes that already rock the clubfloors and are part of many well known radio shows. First of all the remix that seems to come up on many playlists is the Marrs TV progressive house banging translation. Superb punchy tribalish drums, thumping aggressive basslines and high levels of intensity combined with dark sinister synths and combined with Shelley wonderful vocals in the breakdown followed by huge hands in the air rougher and harder climax perfect for mainstage sets on this summer festivals. Luke Terry is on board as well and the beloved trance dj & producer does what he knows best to impress. Uplifting feel good trance at its very best with balearic summery feeling and sunkissed warm synths to send you straight away for your well deserved summer holidays. The breakdown is brilliant with nice piano melodies, synthy plucks and the ethereal vocals by Shelley who always impress with her quality artistic touch in her performance. Massive build up leads us on the full on hands in the air euphoric climax that offers the much needed pay off moment. Pure euphoric uplifting trance at its most exceptional quality so better do not miss this beauty. Last but not least the German dj & producer Tom Cloud is on remix duties and his version will satisfy the neo trance fans. His chunky housey stomping groove, the deep electro influenced basslines are mixed with parts of the vocal and summery feel good melodies in playful very danceable arrangement. The breakdown is mesmerising with ethereal vocals and luscious melodies combined with break beat sequence followed by rough build up that lead us on the full on hands in the air climax that the tone of the main synthy melody used on top is influenced from the USA festival house style. 3 must have translations for this Ibiza Trance Beauty to keep us connected for ever! #PureGold Love it
