10.0
Contributing to The Space Brothers' 25th anniversary album project, tech trance guru Maarten de Jong infuses Chakra's 'Love Shines Through' with tremendous amounts of energy. Elevating the tantalizing vocal with thumping kick drums and detuned synths that supercharge the original melody, this rendition of the 1999 classic is where nostalgia, timelessness and modern, stadium-quivering trance collide.

Chakra - Love Shines Through (Maarten de Jong Remix)10
Summary
Space Brothers alter ego Chakra had numerous singles reaching the top of the charts in various territories with their brilliant memorable melody and spiritual vocals. The track came back many times with set of remixes and now that 25th anniversary is upon us Maarten de Jong well known for his aggressive full on pumping style delivers his own take on the original and he did marvelous job. Pumping tough techno beat, thumping dark bassline while on top the beloved vocals drive the track to its long atmospheric breakdown. The climax is anthemic as it should be with infectious synths and dark moody techno backdrop to make it accessible to trance and techno DJs. It deserves to reach again the top of the charts! #PureGold10.0
