REVIEW: Jason Ross - Coaster / Monarch out on Anjunabeats



Jason Ross continues to turns heads around the world. While last year saw his first Beatport #1, a collaboration remix with label heads Above & Beyond and an ever-expanding tour schedule with festivals around the world, the stage is set for 2016 to be Jason’s year.

Road tested up and down the highways during Anjunabeats biggest North American tour, with Jason as one of the four headline acts, his first solo tracks of 2016 are awash with mainstage energy, the impactful double A side of ‘Coaster’ and ‘Monarch’.

An exhilarating ride, ‘Coaster’s’ twists and turns make for a dark dynamic journey. One of the most sought after tracks throughout the NA tour, the unrelenting groove and sweeping melodies mark a fresh direction for Jason’s sound.

Full of rolling drums and rich vocal chops, ‘Monarch’ echoes the spirit of ‘Cairo’ and ‘Atlas’ (with Wrechiski), two tracks that have become standout moments in the sets of Above & Beyond, Andrew Bayer and many more. With all of Jason’s polished production hallmarks, ‘Monarch’ is set to be a peak-time Miami moment.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Anjunabeats is the top label that each and every single release is a must have. There is no exception for the Jason Ross magnificent Ep. Coaster is an energetic powerful progressive trance anthem with festival house elements with fantastic breakdown and uplifting full on climax that will carry your thoughts away. Monarch is a darker moodier but equally stunning proglifting trancer with magical breakdown with colorful melodies and ethnic vocal samples. The build up is intense with techy punchy booming climax that explodes out of any proportions. #PureGold Love It[/content]
