Showcasing his ever-evolving sound palette, Jason Ross continues to broaden his sonic horizons with "The Gorge," his latest single release from the upcoming 'Rooms' EP. In addition, Jason is pleased to release his first Rooms Mix, the debut installment of a 6-part series to be spread across 2019.
‘The Gorge’ sees Jason incorporate a psy-trance twist into the classic Anjuna formula, courtesy of the young producers, Dimibo. Bringing the tune together, however, took quite a while.
"I don't think I've ever had so many different versions of a track before this one, described Jason. "There were so many directions I tried taking it, but nothing was exciting to me. I knew the track was special and I didn't want to put it to the side, so I kept trying different routes. Then I had this wild idea to turn it into a cross-breed of progressive trance and psy-trance, and it all clicked."
The track is a reflection of the eclectic sets he's recently performed alongside the Ophelia label manager, Seven Lions.
Jason went on, "lately, I've been experimenting producing different genres and playing them out at shows. When I played b2b with Seven Lions at #ABGT250, we played a psy-trance track and I've never experienced such a raw reaction from the crowd when that bassline dropped. I knew I wanted to try and recreate something like that which I could also play in my own sets."
Another new project, The Rooms Mixes are another way for Jason to show his increasingly diverse taste in dance music. Said the young producer of the series, "Hosting a 6-part series across 2019 will let me showcase both old classics and new material outside of the live environment. I can give fans a taste of where my heads at in a different way."

Summary
Jason Ross without a doubt is a very talented artist with bright hopeful future. His collaboration with Dimibo is called The Gorge and definitely is an interesting coalition of talents to merge their style and come up with new kind of trance. Progressive trance is mixed up with psy tech trance particularly in the climax. While the first part has the groove, energy and all the right elements to hook you, the magnificent breakdown with natural samples, warm sensual strings and overall very exotic colorful sounds raises our excitement and expectations very high. However the climax is moving to the psy tech direction and Jason along with Dimibo gives us a rougher tougher mainstage style crescendo moment that doesn't sound melodic and emotional enough for an Anjunabeats type of record. In my opinion these types of coalition tracks need to include one version from each artist and in that way to have both sides of the story. #LikeIT9.1
