REVIEW: Johan Gielen & Ryoji Takahashi - Calima out on High Contrast Recordings



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

Their collab Calima is a true club-banger. With a heavy bassline and an uptempo melody, this track is a perfect fit for the club!

Calima by Johan Gielen and Ryoji Takahashi will be released on High Contrast Recordings on March 5th.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]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 [/content]
