Greg Oakland Feat. Jaime Deraz - Catching The Stars 10

Summary

Nocturnal Knights brings more brilliant uplifting vocal trance. This time the upcoming and quickly rising Greg Oakland collaborates with the sweet Jaime Deraz who performs beautifully the airy vocals on Catching The Stars. Solid pounding basslines, no holes barred here with thumping kicks and spanking drums while on top feel good summery melodies are added to highlight the very strong vocals and infectious singalong lyrics by Jaime Deraz. The breakdown is cinematic and mysterious with piano chords, melancholic strings and cool synths that slowly build the tension until the beat strikes big and bold to crash the dancefloor and invite the listeners to get lifted high and above the everyday reaching the unknown and mysterious. #PureGold Love IT
