10.0

Overall Score

With a number of recent releases pricking the ears of Trance's global elite, Irish producer Ciaran McAuley returns to DS-R with his second release of the year in the effortless 'Isla'.

Having already picked up airplay from Armin van Buuren and Aly & Fila, Ciaran's latest piece of gorgeously deep Trance, 'Isla', arrives on the label just in time for the Spring months. Elegant, uplifting and warming, 'Isla' shows off Ciaran's attentive melodic production with sweeping harmonies, deft FX touches and surging bass.

A brilliantly warming release from one of the Trance scene's top talents - Ciaran McAuley is back with 'Isla'.
