With a musical output as eccentric as his character, Norway's finest export Øistein Johan Eide, better known as Boom Jinx, has long been one of the most beloved members of the Anjuna family.
A keen ear for composition and appreciation for polished song writing have made his vocal numbers "Phoenix From The Flames" and "When You Loved Me" cult classics in recent years, and latest single "The Dark" follows in the tradition; an emotive tale inspired by a close friend in a troubled place.
His first collaboration with Louisa songstress Meredith Call, "The Dark's" narrative revels in the need for things to fall apart for a better outcome. Full of synth surges and racing arps, Øistein retains a progressive feel despite the track's energetic pacing; relishing in a scintillating dance floor drop.
The Original Mix is paired with Øistein's snappy radio edit, with a further remix package to follow.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Anjunabeats is the top record label of Above & Beyond with many electronic dance music modern classics in its back catalogue. The collaboration between Boom Jinx that many recall with his essential trance anthem When You Loved Me with Maor Levi and Ashley Tombrerlin returns with his collaboration with the exceptional singer Meredith Call for the magnificent modern neo progressive trance anthem The Dark. Excellent arrangement that keeps the suspense throughout making this an essential summer trance beauty that will crossover to epic full on progressive house sets as well. With chunky bouncy techy grooves, electro infused pumping basslines, blissful colourful melodies and euphoric uplifting synths, The Dark is an energetic solid composition that contains dark moody elements that are perfectly balanced with the emotional sensitive melodies as the track moves nicely in the breakdown. Meredith Call shines with her stunning performance and her fantastic delivery of the optimistic lyrics that will offer hope and encouragement to many human souls that feel that they are afraid in some moments of their life The Dark. Looking forward to check Above & Beyond playing this anthem on their Tomorrowland mainstage set and the insane reactions of the crowd to it! #PureGold Love iT
