New York’s Phil Groot delivers a fiercely melodic slab of high-octane trance, as befits NEON’s label statement. ‘Solstice’ has appeared in Solarstone’s sets over the last 18 months as an ID, teasing audiences to frustration, with every ‘what is this?’ answered with a cheeky ‘Not telling’… well now we are ‘telling’ – and finally unleashing this crowd-pleasing beauty on a very patient public.

[item value="10"]Phil Groot - Solstice[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Pure Trance NEON brings back that early 2000 style trance sounds with hints of the classic Platipus Records sound in it. Phil Groot track Solstice is classy melodic dreamy travelling uplifting trancer that will impress your ears and senses and will manage to attract the attention of the trancers straight away. The pounding drums, metallic basslines, acid overtones, swirling old school trancy piano melodies combined with heavenly female voices that create that lullaby style atmosphere while the intensity and powerful drive inspires the listener to move on and trance the night away. Great breakdown with attention to detail creating the perfect tapestry to meditate and let the spirit go higher for a while. The climax will easily put the dancefloor in motion with hands in the air and smiles in the faces. Life is colorful and neon lighted for sure. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
