Roger Shah hitting the iTunes Dance Album Charts around the world!
Oops he did it again! 
  
In a time where EDM is getting bigger and bigger, where it's all about mainstream, commercial top 40, big drops and electro noises, Mr Magic Island, the master of beautiful balearic summer melodies went back to his original genre and sound which made him world renown and which brought him to a number #21 spot in the DJ Mag poll a couple of years ago and saw him playing around the world at the most important clubs such as Privilege Ibiza or Zouk in Singapore but also playing at major festivals such as Ultra Music Festival in the olympic stadium in Seoul.

 "As much as I love to play around with a wide range of sound myself, I'm really missing the beauty in the music nowadays, so I felt to deliver a summer inspired album with beautiful vocals and melodies but still keeping a wide range of sound from deep house to progressive, from balearic to trance, just a beautiful musical journey".

It looks like a lot of people from around the world felt the same way and the unexpected happened, with his Magic Island Vol. 5 album he made it into the Itunes Dance Album Charts almost around the world and it just became the most successful of his series over night. With a great #9 position in Mexico, he proved again his outstanding superstar status in this strong musical market. With a big surprise he hit even into the most important and strongest market the US with a great #36 position while in neighboring country Canada he got even higher to number #16.

In Europe we are celebrating great charts in Germany #20, Russia #26, Ukraine #26, while in countries such as Holland #6, Romania #4, Czech #3 Roger became one of the best selling album artists while in Central and South America iTunes reported Chart Hits  in countries such as Honduras #4, Colombia #42 or Argentina #70 as well.

"I wanna thank all my fans for the never ending support through all this years, I'm proud that all you guys are a part of my journey, without you there would be no journey for me at all. It's again that time of the year when I need your love & support, vote for me in DJ Mag Top 100 poll and let the journey continue." Roger Shah

Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most magical compilations for this summer is Roger Shah's Magic Island vol.5 that contains amazing music to keep you the best company in your summer holidays. From the top compilation the dj sampler includes 3 top extended versions to grace your set with some Magic Island vibes. First of all is High Noon At Salinas with the fantastic anthem Iberican Ways. Magnificent summery atmosphere with tribal grooves, bubbly deep basslines, fantastic danceable rhythm and the absolute star on this one is the balearic dreamy quitar riff that will travel your mind and body to faraway places and open your horizon to unforgetable sonic experiences. Relax, dream and dance is the order of the day and don't loose the opportunity to escape on the Magic Island. Second top anthem is by Balearic Session and is called Visitas. It moves on the same dream and dance pathway with fantastic percusions, tribal drums, relaxing deep basslines that pulsate in your braincells nicely and quitar melody that sounds happy, positive and perfect for the soundtrack of your summer holidays. Carefree sound that hypnotize the listener and travel his senses to magical spaces and places! Last but not least is the collaboration between Garrido & Hanski for the stunning anthem Otra Vez. The groove is chunky, the bassline is playful and in places freaked out, the melodies are sunny, the heavenly female voices are travelling and the summery synths will bring sunshine on any situation without doubts. Balearic optimistic moods for a better comfortable living not only to Magic Island but in our everyday life too! If you love to warm up your crowd with positive vibes this package is a must have! #PureGold Love iT
