REVIEW: Johan Gielen - Souvenir out on High Contrast Recordings


Trance legend Johan Gielen returns to High Contrast Recordings with yet another high quality trance release called "Souvenir"!

Soothing piano leads, combined with up-tempo and euforic chords in the breakdown and a pounding bass in the drop characterizes this release.

Souvenir is the perfect start of 2018 for Johan Gielen and definitely sets the tone for the new year!

Johan Gielen - Souvenir is out now on High Contrast Recordings.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Johan Gielen rocks the airwaves with his brand new high class release on High Contrast called Souvenir. This is definitely a timeless piece of trance that you can keep by your side as real and precious Souvenir of trance. The track has definitely the classic Dutch & Belgian trance sound of the golden era of trance. Truly unique and fresh melody in the breakdown with massive uplifting synths while the bassline is sharp and warped while the fat thumping drum along with the superb synthy layers on top travels the listener to another dimension. It's epic and euphoric ready for endless funfair moments of feel good summery trance to make you feel energetic, confident and shinning on the dancefloor. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
