Summary

Ruben de Ronde & Donata collaborate for the very beautiful chill out track Open Wide. Magical synths and string merged with nice piano melodies along with great vocal performance of awesomely written lyrics. While the original is perfect afterclub listening experience the remixes will bring the track to the clubs. Eskai version is energetic prime time proglifting trancer with thumping electro basslines, chunky bouncy grooves and great smooth and dreamy breakdown followed by epic hands in the air climax of huge feel good synthy hooks to raise the hair from your neck and lift you up immediately. Hal Stucker remix is moving on the Eric Prydz style melodic progressive trance with strong proghouse references. Beautiful electronic twinking melodies, magical dreamy synths and superb arrangement of pulsating deep basslines and pounding rolling drums perfect to dive in the deep sonic ocean that Hal Stucker knows so well to produce for us. #PureGold Love It
