Dreamstate blasts off with the third installment of its ongoing 'Convergence' compilation EP series, featuring new music from Talla 2XLC & RRAW!, Taylor Torrence, Dustin Husain, and Vangar.
Aimed at showcasing the brightest and most exciting names from all across the trance music circuit, 'Convergence' is the merging point where up-and-coming artists are celebrated. Highlighting the many branches of trance music under the Dreamstate banner, the compilation EP champions artists on their radar. Volume 3 is another surefire package equipped with some serious power.
Veteran producer Talla 2LXC steps in with the latest creation from his RRAW! techno project, which saw its US debut at Dreamstate SoCal last year. "Black Hole" is a thunderous peak-time techno weapon armed with snarling melodies and a dark, chugging groove. Label regular Tayloy Torrence keeps the energy locked with his track "Flashpoint," marked by tumbling stabs and growling low-end.
Dustin Husain, another familiar fixture on the imprint, swings in with his track "Soul Energy." Fast-paced melodies and swirling acid leads combine over captivating vocals and a pummeling drive. Closing out the affair is Dreamstate debutante Vangar. The emerging talent wraps up the EP on a high note with "Mind Killer," a frenetic peak-time offering bolstering pounding drums, rippling synth riffs and lethal acid licks.
