REVIEW: Dark Matter - Future Sight out on Coldharbour Recordings

10.0
Overall Score

Danish resident Jack Høye is one of the great new minds invigorating modern day trance music; boasting a broad diversity across his palette of work. For Global DJ Broadcast followers, his Dawn and Dark Matter aliases have been championed in recent years, with the latter under focus with a wonderful first original release for Coldharbour, titled Future Sight.

Already garnering support through Markus Schulz with tracks such as The Great Escape and his remix of You & I for the Watch the World Deluxe album, Jack was on hand to deliver a special piece primarily for the most recent instalment of the legendary Techno Club series in Germany. Further support in the live environment and on Global DJ Broadcast has followed.

A quintessential darklifting vibe, both in terms of drive and atmosphere, Future Sight makes for an optimistic outlook for progressive trance in 2018. Whether utilised for the live environment or for the radio; it sets the tone for an evening perfectly.

Dark Matter - Future Sight10

Summary

Dark Matter is definitely an artist to follow and his track Future Sight is a classy piece of melodic dark moody haunting progressive trance of the highest quality. Superb pumping tribal drums, dark driving basslines, variety of nice synths, strings full of tension and xylophone like melodies. The breakdown is where the synthy comes to the surface to create havoc and build anticipation leading to the brilliant tripping out magnificence of the full on climax. Classy progressive trance that stands out without second thoughts. #PureGold Love IT
