[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]JPL, a renowned figure in the trance music world, continues to astonish listeners with his classic productions that stand the test of time. Returning to Elpida Music, his latest work "In Your Youth" proves to be a mesmerizing piece. The original mix is a 128 BPM progressive Balearic trance track, slowly building its hypnotic groove with elements like melancholic strings and tribal percussion. The pulsating basslines provide a steady foundation, while the truly emotional and sensitive synth layers float throughout the composition. The breakdown of the original mix is particularly noteworthy for its calming and soothing qualities, where a harp melody becomes the focal point. This melody effortlessly leads the listener to a smooth, floating climax, meticulously arranged to keep the body moving and the mind entranced in its synthy waves. On the other hand, T.O.M.'s remix of "In Your Youth" offers a different experience at 136 BPM. This uplifting trance version is driven by massive pulsating basslines, thumping drums, and punchy kicks, laid under a layer of superb emotional synths. The breakdown revisits the main melody with an innovative twist: a distorted harp sound complemented by acid overtones. This results in a long, blissful segment that holds the listener's attention from start to finish. The remix culminates in a superb climax featuring swirling dark synths and an exceptional arrangement, emphasizing the melody as the central element. This piece exemplifies what trance music should represent: a journey through sound, guiding the crowd on an emotional ride devoid of cheap thrills or instant gratification. It's a track that grows on you with every listen, embodying the essence of #PureGold. Love IT[/content]
