In anticipation of the release, we present a curated selection of the tracks released thus far from Mark Sherry’s highly anticipated album.
Mark Sherry & Kate Louise Smith - Fractured [Take Me There]
One of Mark’s earliest solo releases was “Fractured,” initially released in 2005 as an instrumental on Ed Real’s London-based Riot Recordings. The label was also home to notable artists such as BK and Nick Sentience at the time. Mark later reworked the track and incorporated vocals by the talented Kate Louise Smith in 2010, subsequently signing it to Reset (Spinnin’ Records).
Mark is set to commemorate the 20th anniversary of “Fractured” next year and has decided to celebrate this milestone by creating a technologically advanced version for his forthcoming album. The track has undergone a comprehensive overhaul and received a significant boost of energy.
Mark unveiled this version at Luminosity Events during the summer, and fans eagerly anticipated its release.
WestBam - Wizards Of The Sonic (Mark Sherry Remix)
Mark’s most cherished trance track is the Matt Darey remix of Westbam’s “Wizards of the Sonic.” As a special exclusive for his forthcoming album, Mark has crafted a highly energetic and pristine-sounding rework of this globally acclaimed trance classic. The quintessential elements of the original have been meticulously recreated and seamlessly blended with contemporary enhancements, infusing this timeless anthem with a novel and exhilarating energy.
This endeavor is a testament to Mark’s artistic prowess and is not to be missed.
Mark Sherry - In Spirit
Mark Sherry’s single “Neon City” is an electrifying fusion of techno-trance, hard-trance, and peak-time techno. With razor-sharp synthesizers, pounding basslines, and hypnotic energy, this track is designed for the grand stage. Sherry skillfully combines high-octane techno rhythms with a futuristic soundscape, creating an immersive experience through a pulsating neon-lit metropolis. This track is a must-hear future anthem for enthusiasts of trance and techno genres.

Mark Sherry & The Space Brothers featuring Talya - Angel
After a nearly decade-long hiatus, Space & Sherry have returned with a highly anticipated follow-up to their 2013 release, “Let It Come.” This time, the trio consists of Mark, Ricky, and Steve, who have crafted a euphoric and emotionally resonant track titled “Angel.”
Mark’s distinctive vocals and the seamless integration of Sherry’s signature drumming, bass, and rhythmic patterns create the foundation of “Angel.” The track builds to a climax with intense trance effects, cavernous reverb, and a powerful 303 amplifier, propelling the listener to a state of heightened excitement.
As the breakdown approaches, Team Space takes over the lead, featuring vocalist Talya, who previously collaborated with the group on their 2001 hit “Everywhere I Go.” Talya’s distinctive vocals infuse “Angel” with a distinctly Brotherly atmosphere, complemented by Steve and Ricky’s ethereal melodies and harmonies. The trio skillfully manipulates the synths, applying compression and gate effects to enhance the track’s intensity. As Talya transitions between verses and choruses, “Angel” reaches its crescendo, culminating in a euphoric and uplifting climax.
