Roger Shah's reputation in the international EDM scene spans over 20 years, having worked with and produced for some of the biggest artists like Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten and many more. His last release "Eye 2 Eye", which he did in collaboration with Aly & Fila and Sylvia Tosun, has been Beatport Top 10 for almost three weeks in a row and is still in the Top 25.
For his new release "The Namib", German born Shah has teamed up with Namibian producer, composer and DJ, Pierre Pienaar, whom is also known under production aliases like P.H.A.T.T, Melodia, Deep Sequence and Rebirth. With his tracks being play-listed by music heavyweights like Above&Beyond, Paul van Dyk, Sean Tyas and many more, it proves that Pienaar oozes talent and will be in the scene for a long time to come.
"The Namib" is a true trance anthem. A mixture of stunning melodies and driving beats are ever present throughout the song. The brilliant choice of an African-sounding voice in the background will pick you up just before the breakdown and tease the euphoric feeling in the second part of the track. The heavy breakdown will sweep you away and drag you into the magic of the beat.
A definite winner for Magic Island Records!
Dimitri Kechagias review: Magic Island is the very hot and extremely successful record label headed by Roger Shah that is now part of Black Hole recordings. The latest release on this awesome imprint is the brand new track of the label owner along with the well known producer Pierre Pienaar. The track is called The Namib and will definitely mesmerise your senses and energise your body for party hard nights on the global dancefloors. Roger Shah and Pierre deliver an exceptional composition that moves in and out of what we term as progressive big room trance with progressive house/festival house influences. The beginning is quite short just enough to pass from the previous track of your set to this fantastic production. The long and teasing breakdown comes very early with flute melody, piano chords, airy pads and incredible mysterious atmosphere that is supported by the ethnic exotic male vocals that will manage easily to uplift your spirit and awake your soul. The huge rave style synthy lead performing the memorable theme comes next and after the huge droll we reach the euphoric hands in the air travelling and floating climax with that melancholic melody on top that makes you want to cry! The Namib is Just Perfect! #PureDiamond Love iT
