REVIEW: Alexander Popov - Olympus out on Armind / Armada


Sharing it’s release date with his highly anticipated ‘Interplay’ compilation, Alexander Popov’s new record is a joy to behold. When the bassline hits, you know something special is about to happen.

‘Olympus’ features energetic lead synths, an epic breakdown, an equally legendary melody, and a huge dose of sheer power. In short, another stunning Popov tune.

Alexander Popov has been a leading figure within trance music, ever since the start of his musical career, back in 2007. His unique and open-minded sound carved him a way to the top, while simultaneously winning the support and respect of fans and colleagues alike.

Now, not even two years after the release of his first studio album ‘Personal Way’ in November 2013, Alexander Popov is back with ‘Interplay’, a product of his unprecedented love for music. Containing a huge amount of his own slammers, complemented with absolute gems including David Gravell’s Remix of ‘Lost Language’ and a stunning collaboration with Cosmic Gate, ‘Interplay’ is another highlight in the career of the Russian mastermind.

When it comes to the absolute best, Alexander Popov’s ‘Interplay’ compilation is where your search ends. It might just be preceding the course of electronic music, guiding it past the existing boundaries and taking it further than it’s ever been. Because in the Popov world, the future is now.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Alexander Popov is a trance star in the making. The very talented Russian producer proves how able he is to compose trance that matters and can move big room and mainstage trance sets on his big tune Olympus. Electro infused basslines, pumping slamming grooves and epic anthemic classical music melody in the breakdown that will make you feel like being at the top of the Greek mountain Olympus along with the 12 gods of mythology. Which God you choose to be from the 12? When you hear tracks like this one only Zeus comes in your mind with his powerful figure and exactly this track will make feel so strong ready to throw thunders all over the place when the fantastic breakdown will be followed by the epic hands in the super large drop that will kick hard for sure! #TrueTrance Love It
