REVIEW: Delta-S & Christina Novelli - Alive incl Philippe El Sisi & Type 41 out on How Trance Works

After huge hits such as Concrete Angel, Black Hole, Dynamite, Frozen, waiting For The Sun and most recently Hurricane, we are delighted to welcome one of the worlds most in demand trance singer/songwriter/performer Christina Novelli to Sir Adrian Music!

The original of 'Alive' shows it's early intent and drives forward with a prog edged electro trance bass groove, glitch fx and whispering choppy teasers of Christina's epic voice. The verses arrives to steal the show accompanied by some delightful trancy plucks, bringing together an ultra positive feeing before the breakdown. Huge sweeping pads and pianos build the emotion in the break until the big moment arrives and the anthemic chorus that we have come to expect from Miss Novelli captures your heart and soul with seductive vocal range and shiver inducing tones. The warm and intense lead melody builds an uplifting theme and drops into euphoric dance floor bliss before the chorus comes back to take you up another notch on the pleasureometer!

Philippe El Sisi brings his high quality sound yet again to How Trance Works and the Egyptian 138 maestro delivers a total vocal trance slammer! For fans of the more energetic trance sound, this one is for you and complete with thumping bass, chunky percs, a super catchy vocal chop pattern slick synth work and last but not least, an awe inspiring arp lead melody that unleashes that power trance feeling. This is peak time vocal trance at its best that will energize any trancefloor.

Type 41 completes this momentous release with another high energy remix using driving no nonsense bass, lush violins and a sky high lead that rockets you straight into the trance stratosphere!



Dimitri Kechagias review:  How Trance Works presents the exceptional powerful and extremely infectious vocal trance anthem Alive produced by the newcomer Delta-S and features top remixes by Philippe El Sisi & Type 41 that always impress with whatever they produce for the trance fanatics. The Original mix is an interesting hybrid of progressive trance with straight forward uplifting trance. With quite relaxed groove and summery atmosphere upon the fat bouncy groove and energetic bassline add the various emotional melodies, chords and airy pads to become the perfect blanket for the beloved singer Christina Novelli to lie her emotional heartbreaking vocals. Christina seems to be everywhere at the moment and slowly establish herself as the lady of trance music. The climax is truly epic and full on with 135 BPM progressive influences. The remix package is absolutely first class with Philippe El Sisi who seems to be on great shape at the moment to deliver the old school uplifting trance sound with harsh aggressive basslines, pumping metallic kick and great driving uplifting euphoric synths underneath along with warm cinematic strings and Christina's lovely voice on top. The breakdown is  relaxing with piano melody to die for followed by the pulsating kick and euphoric synthy riff that can even move mountains and the whole planet. The climax is full on and hands in the air with the colourful synths playing on the background allowing more space for the heavy bass to be at the forefront. Pure singalong trance anthem for those crowd singing moments in your dj set. Type 41 remix is on the same pathway of straight to the point uplifting trance with hi-nrg synths, driving fat bassline and pounding kick. The main chord progression hypnotise the crowd and raise the hair from your neck. The breakdown is truly magical with the vocal standing at the forefront and breaking many weak hearts out there. The melodramatic drop reveals the colourful old school synthy layers that manage so beautifully to elevate the crowd and with dynamism and power to land on the massive hands in the air climax that melodies and sweet harmonies create that illusion of diving in an ocean of melodies. The package includes dub mixes for the non vocal lovers and I wish to know at least one person that doesn't appreciate Christina's performance on Alive! #PureDiamond. Love iT
