Summary

Rene Ablaze & Ian Buff collaborate for the new Always Alive recordings production Stonecold. Rene and Ian are very close friends and collaborators and this track is an excellent example of what they like the most and that is to rock the crowds worldwide with super strong beats, heavy aggressive techy basslines, rough acid overtones and incredible atmospheric long breakdown with magical atmosphere that relax the mind before the kicks strikes back for the full on headbanging bulldozer like climax that is very heavy and in your face but goes after a while on the melodic feel good climax that will please the uplifting and the tech trance followers. Love it
