REVIEW: Nicholson - Nitrous / Electric out on Tangled Audio / Alter Ego Records

TA022 introduces one of the most exciting Tech-Trance producers to come out of the UK, Carl Nicholson. Nicholson's Tangled Audio debut is nothing short of epic, with both tracks being peak-time acid-infused bombs.

Nitrous opens the release with a huge rattling bassline, layers of acid and very unique motorcycle racing inspired FX. The breakdown is a pure masterpiece of Trance production, featuring live performance sound effects and an epic solo guitar ballad before introducing the track's powerful main lead. Already supported by Jordan Suckley on his forthcoming Goodgreef compilation, 'Nitrous' is the pinnacle of high energy peak-time Tech-Trance!

'Electric' closes the release with just as much energy as 'Nitrous', with driving basslines, dreamy melodies, an epic Uplifting lead and a gorgeous piano. Definitely the more melodic of the two, 'Electric' is still very much a dance floor destroyer!

A massive Tangled Audio debut from one of the most talented producers to come out of the UK. Not to be missed!





Dimitri Kechagias review: Tangled Audio is considered as one of the hottest imprints to emerge in the trance world lately. Every single release on this top label is a massive hit and received worldwide support. The brand new release is by the safe hands of Nicholson who service two superb adrenaline charging anthems Nitrous/ Electric. Nitrous is an exceptional super hard hybrid of tech trance, uplifting trance, psy trance and even hard trance sounds. It's very tough underground trancer with heavy metallic kicks, aggressive hardstyle infused basslines, various cool sound effects that keep you interested and in the right shape to party all night long. The breakdown is very surprising as we listen for while someone coming on stage perhaps to perform with live rock guitar. The riff used is really emotional but is interrupted for the main rave style synthy hook to come in and slowly build up the tension towards the full on hands in the air climax that is rough, fast and furious perfect for darker tech trance sets. The uplifting synthy melody makes a short appearance nearly the end along with heavy acid layers. The result is a breathtaking banger that keep you jumping for sure. Electric adopts the psy tech trance kick and bassline along with strong melodic epic synthy melodies. The breakdown is truly great as well as again he adds wide variety of cool samples with main elements the synthy plucks and the very sweet and tender piano melody followed by huge hands in the air uplifting synths. His climax is full on tech trance meets psy trance with the main synthy theme coming slowly as it leads  in the final hands in the air section with swirling synths and piano melody to touch your heart! Fluorescent Colorful dynamic trance at its very best! #PureGold Love iT
