Talla 2XLC‘s rework of the iconic hard trance classic "Traumwelten," in collaboration with the original artists Das Licht—an alias of renowned German DJ Dean from Hamburg—brings new life to a beloved anthem. Originally a huge hit under Push Up Records released back in 2000, "Traumwelten" has been reimagined through the "Recreate Mix," offering an exciting, nearly eight-minute journey designed to captivate dance floors everywhere.
The track has an energetic 140 BPM tempo, designed to keep people moving with a steady, powerful beat. The deep, pulsing bass gives it a strong foundation, while the punchy drums add intensity and drive. Layered on top are vibrant, colorful melodies that shift and evolve, creating a rich and dynamic sound that grabs your attention from start to finish.
What makes this mix so engaging are its strategic pauses, or breakdowns. These moments let the music breathe, building anticipation before launching back into the high-energy sections. The first long breakdown feels suspenseful and cinematic, with rising sounds that build excitement. It all leads up to a dramatic explosion of melody after a mysterious spoken female vocal, which adds an intriguing, hypnotic quality.
The peak of the song is pure euphoria—a thrilling rush of soaring melodies that feel like being swept up in a whirlwind of sound. Just when you think the energy has peaked, the second long breakdown adds even more anticipation, leading to another powerful burst of uplifting music.
In the end, "Traumwelten (Recreate Mix)" by Talla 2XLC and Das Licht is an experience. It takes listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions, with moments of suspense, excitement, and pure musical joy. Now available on Technoclub Retro, it’s a perfect example of how a classic can be refreshed with modern sounds while keeping its original spirit alive.

[item value="10"]Talla 2XLC & Das Licht - Traumwelten (Recreate Mix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Talla 2XLC’s collaboration with Das Licht (aka DJ Dean) on “Traumwelten (Recreate Mix)” is a masterclass in modern hard trance production that both honors the original and elevates it for today’s dance floors. Clocking in at a relentless 140 BPM, the track showcases meticulous sound design and mixing techniques that will immediately capture the attention of uplifting trance DJs and producers alike. From the outset, the production is crisp and powerful. The low end is anchored by a deep, rolling sub-bass layered with a thunderous mid-bass that’s carefully sidechained to the kick for maximum punch and clarity—ensuring the track hits hard in large festival systems. The kick drum itself is a classic hard trance staple, tightly EQ’d and compressed to cut through the busy mix without ever sounding harsh. Melodically, the track is rich and evolving. The shimmering lead synths are built from bright, supersaw layers with subtle detuning to create a wide stereo image, giving the melodies that quintessential uplifting trance feel. Carefully programmed filter automation sweeps the harmonics in and out during the breakdowns, creating movement and tension. These breakdowns are cinematic in scope, featuring lush pads, atmospheric effects, and reverberated percussive elements that give the mix depth and space. The haunting spoken female vocal is treated with delay and spatial reverb, enhancing its hypnotic and ethereal quality. One of the strongest production techniques on display is the use of dynamic energy flow. After the first euphoric drop, the track doesn’t simply plateau. Instead, it reintroduces tension with a second breakdown that strips the arrangement back, gradually rebuilding with risers, reverse sweeps, and carefully modulated effects. This creates a rollercoaster of anticipation and release, a hallmark of trance designed to keep dance floors fully engaged. For uplifting trance DJs, “Traumwelten (Recreate Mix)” is a dream weapon. Its driving rhythm section and soaring melodic layers sit perfectly in a festival or club set, offering hands-in-the-air moments and emotional peaks that align with the core ethos of the genre. The meticulous production ensures it blends seamlessly with other tracks in a high-energy set, while its iconic melodic themes and modern polish make it a standout selection. With its perfect balance of nostalgia and contemporary production, this Recreate Mix is not just a tribute to a classic—it is a statement track that will ignite peak-time sets for months to come. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
