Veteran in the scene, Johan Gielen, is back on High Contrast with his latest release together with Japan-based Ryoji Takahashi!

Summary

Calima by Johan Gielen & Ryoji Takahashi is what we call as straight to the point Dutch trance banger. The track has powerful groove with heavily punching bassline, fat grooves and understated synthy melody that despite staying at the background still has a lot of energy and dynamism to drive the track forward without mercy. The melody manages to stay in your mind for long as it has certain uptempo epic anthemic sound that unite crowds and make them happier. Calima is simple but very infectious crowd pleasing trancer. #PureGold Love It
