01: Genix & Las Salinas - Arcadia - Original Mix
With their last collaboration bringing substantial success (inc. rave press reviews from Mixmag & DJ Mag and deck & radio support from a near A-to-Z of the scene's heaviest hitting spinners), a Genix/Las Salinas return match was less 'a possible' and far more a certainty… And without further ado, here it is!
Las Salinas' Israel Bicher and Shaulli Harrari have gotten back studio-side with tech-trance don Genix for the 'Say Another What' sequel. Follow-up it may be, but artistic re-tread it is far from, as the trio hit new stylistic paths with 'Arcadia'.
Seizing on the season, 'Arcadia' may be cool of mind (and tempo), but thematically and thermally it's tropically hot, hot… HOT! With its siren-song female vocals and wistfully catchy, Ibiza-contemplating sub-riffs, it decisively sets out the summertime mood. The drop brings dramatic pianoforte and then, with an emphatic gearshift, 'Arcadia's big pads deliver its conclusive, rafter-raising mainline.
Relative to 'Say Another What', DJ Mag says 'Arcadia' is: "emphatically more beautiful with its beguiling, drifting vocals and melodic thrall" and giving it 8/10, that "the production quality" is "pristine" and "truly 'wraparound' stuff".
Dimitri Kechagias review: VANDIT records is on fire this year with stunning releases every week. Many trance fanatics check frequently the social media and particularly the soundcloud page to find what is coming next on the busy release schedule of VANDIT records. The brand new release Arcadia is the magnificent collaboration between Genix who still has big success with his Anjunabeats single Run and the duo Las Salinas who climb up higher with every single release. Arcadia is a modern neo progressive trancer that adopts electro infused basslines, chunky housey grooves, emotional synths, warm strings and superb female vocal harmonies. The breakdown is deeply sensitive with sweet and sincere piano chords, airy dreamy pads, classical music themes and magical cinematic vocal that build the cinematic atmosphere that will lift your spirit a little bit higher. The climax is tailor made for big venues and summer festivals with the pumping beat, the pulsating bassline and the euphoric synthy stabs that will keep your spirit flying in the air! Open your eyes, ears and hands wide and let the magic of trance happen and experience it with all your senses! #PureGold Love iT
