REVIEW: John Askew - Running in the Dark out on VII

10.0

Overall Score

Following on from his Beatport number 1 single Aces Hi which landed on Armind last month, John Askew pushes forward once again on VII with the amazing new record - Running In The Dark. A banging peak time track that fuses an infectious, catchy, hypnotic vocal with driving drums and a mega bass line. A precision dance floor rocker and roof raiser in time for the 2023 festival season.

John Askew - Running in the Dark 10

Summary

John Askew is on great shape delivering constantly superb forward thinking trance anthems like Running in the Dark. It's one of those tracks that combine infectious super catchy vocals with energetic psy tech trance basslines, dirty greedy synthy riffs, acid overtones packed with endless amount of energy that simply can crank up your sound system. It's uplifting trance but with attitude of psy trance and the roughness of tech trance turning this into one of the biggest trance anthems of the year. Totally unique different and ultra exciting. #PureGold Love IT
