David Forbes' 'Alcazar' is a mesmerising fusion of colourful trance and hard-hitting techno, enhanced by hypnotic acid influences and ethereal, emotive vocals. The new single beautifully showcases Forbes' knack for creating powerful, genre-blending music, highlighting the polished versatility that he has built a reputation on. With its equally-emotional, club-ready Deeper Mix, 'Alcazar' is locked and loaded to take dancefloors and festivals by storm.
David Forbes is definitely one of the most accomplished producers and DJ with unique approach on whatever style he is delivering to his growing mass of supporters. Alcazar has been handpicked by Armin van Buuren for his iconic label Armind and is serviced in two different summery flavors. The original mix merges full on pounding deep tough kick with slamming dark basslines while in the breakdown the ethereal mysterious female vocal will captivate the listeners straight away. The dark moody percussive synthy stabs build the tension towards the full on and head banging climax. The Deeper mix is an excellent slice of what melodic techno or deep raw progressive trance should sound like. The mysterious memorable vocal and nice synths blended with chunky grooves, bubbly basslines, sparkling synths and refreshing dark kicks to push the audience to the next level. With proper and well conceived composition David stays well ahead in his game of dark raven moody mainstage friendly trance! #PureGold Love IT
