 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Pure Trance is the absolute and totally genre defining record label with the very best in classy trance from progressive to uplifting and beyond. Now is the time for the extended versions of the majority of the tracks included on the beloved Vol.6 of the magnificent compilation series. The sampler in our hands includes 6 top tunes taken from the extended versions. Firstly Mike Saint Jules service the stunning groovy proglifting trancer with pulsating basslines, thumping rolling grooves, chunky electro touches and great sci-fi synths along with melancholic moody piano chords too. Lostly offers the uplifting Colourways with superb synthy layering and acid overtones to add underground touches and aggressive subthemes. David Broaders delivers Swelter which can be defined as pure uplifting trance beauty that can elevate the mind, body and soul with its powerful stomping driving basslines and emotional sunkissed melodies to offer that fly in the sky experience. Peter Steele is well known for his eclectic uplifting sound that has references to the early trance years. Superb deep haunting melodies, driving pulsating basslines, acid overtones, heavenly melodies and adventurous themes to travel you without moving just dancing actually. While The City Sleeps by Tim & Monoverse is an exceptional slice of electro progtrancer with airy synths, cool rolling basslines, bubbly grooves and sparkling refreshing synths to make you feel truly lifted from the ground while the piano melody will transfer you to magical mythical kingdoms instantly. Lastly Activa comes with Meridian. Once again the beloved British power producer builds a stunning uplifting number with the word balearic dreams written all over it. #PureGold Love It  [/content]
