We’re releasing a poignant tribute to our beloved Danny Stubbs, who passed away in August 2024 at the age of 40. Danny was a genuinely kind and passionate musician, known for his deep love for his craft. His loss was a profound sadness for our community. Paul, Susie, and Rich (Solarstone) all have cherished memories of working with him, and ‘Reverie’ stands as one of his finest creations. Following his recent collaboration with Cosmic Gate, we decided to commission Ginchy (Spinnin, DOORN, Zero Three, Black Hole, Armind) to create a new 124bpm mix of ‘Reverie’. Ginchy has done an exceptional job, staying true to the song’s melodic soul while infusing it with an uplifting and celebratory trance style.
Lyrics
Lead the way and I will follow
Through spaces dark and narrow
Fill my heart that once was hollow
We don't have to think about tomorrow
Time is all I waited for
Afraid of every open door
Your love will be my guiding light
As we're drowning into the night
Reverie, reverie
Loving you feels like a dream to me
Reverie, reverie
Nothing is quite what it seems
I'll never look back to dusk
On morning I'll place my trust
The life that we seek
The love you give me
[2x]
Reverie, reverie
Loving you feels like a dream to me
Reverie, reverie
Nothing is quite what it seems
Reverie
Reverie, reverie
Loving you feels like a dream to me
Reverie, reverie
Nothing is quite what it seems

[item value="10"]Danny Stubbs, Paul Sawyer & Susie Ledge - Reverie (GINCHY Remix)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Danny Stubbs, Paul Sawyer, and Susie Ledge's anthem "Reverie" receives a phenomenal reinterpretation with GINCHY's latest remix, a track that transcends expectations through its meticulous production and technical prowess. Known for his deeper, darker melodic trance styles, GINCHY surprises the scene by venturing into a more upfront, euphoric soundscape for this remix while maintaining an emotional depth that resonates profoundly with listeners. The remix opens with a crisp, driving beat, underpinned by a solid bassline that sets a compelling rhythmic foundation. GINCHY expertly layers shimmering arpeggiated synths that gradually build tension, guiding the listener toward the atmospheric breakdown. Here, the use of reverb and spatial effects creates an expansive auditory dimension, allowing Suzie Ledge’s heartfelt vocals to shine with clarity and emotional intensity. The piano chords are not just an accompaniment but a central motif, intricately woven into the fabric of the track, enhancing the melodic structure with warmth and resonance. As the breakdown crescendos, the track bursts into an electrifying climax, where vivid, euphoric synth stabs and dynamic piano sequences intertwine. The sound design showcases GINCHY's adeptness in balancing high-energy elements with melodic finesse, creating a sonic tapestry that is both invigorating and deeply emotive. The mastering is polished, ensuring that each frequency occupies its rightful space, resulting in a clean, powerful output suited for peak-time sets. For trance DJs, this remix is a versatile asset—its uplifting energy makes it a perfect fit for both festival main stages and intimate club environments. The track’s dynamic transitions and emotive peaks offer ample opportunities for creative mixing and seamless integration into diverse trance sets. On a personal note, I wish to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of Danny Stubbs. Through our interactions via radio shows and Flux BPM Online, I came to deeply appreciate his support, kindness, and passion for music. His contributions to the trance community will be fondly remembered, and his spirit lives on through the music he helped create and inspire.#PureGold #LoveIt [/content]
