Talla 2XLC joins forces with his longtime friend York, also known as Torsten Stenzel, and the ethereal voice of Angel City to deliver "Euphoria." This track is a radiant homage to the nostalgic late '90s euro dance era, a sonic journey that stirs the heart and electrifies the soul, out now on That’s Trance.
Clocking in at an uplifting 138 BPM, "Euphoria" is a spirited blend of feel-good pop and euro dance, infused with the unmistakable warmth of Balearic influences. The production is a masterclass in simplicity and emotional resonance. The driving basslines pulsate with a rhythmic heartbeat, anchoring the track with a steady, infectious groove. Punchy kicks and thumping drums propel the energy forward, creating a foundation that’s both invigorating and comforting.
York’s signature Balearic guitar riffs weave through the composition like golden threads, their sun-kissed tones harmonizing with the delicate warmth of harps and lush atmospheric effects. These elements coalesce to form an auditory tapestry that feels both expansive and intimately personal.
At the heart of "Euphoria" is Angel City’s breathtaking vocal performance. Her voice is a beacon of clarity and emotion, each word delivered with crystalline precision and heartfelt sincerity. As her melodies soar, they are met with towering synth stabs that rise like waves, culminating in euphoric climaxes designed to lift your spirit and ignite pure, unadulterated joy.
The lyrics resonate deeply, touching the listener’s heart and soul, dissolving inhibitions, and inviting spontaneous dances beneath the glow of neon lights or starlit skies. It's a track that doesn’t just play; it speaks, sings, and breathes life into any space it inhabits.
"Euphoria" thrives on its elegant simplicity, echoing the essence of classic trance productions. Its core elements—melodic synthesis, emotional vocals, and dynamic rhythms—are meticulously balanced, creating a soundscape that warms the coldest autumn nights and kindles the embers of nostalgia.
Talla 2XLC, YORK, and Angel City have crafted more than just a song; they’ve created a timeless anthem that will resonate across radios, streaming platforms, and dance floors worldwide. This is vocal trance as it was meant to be—where every note, beat, and lyric converge to create pure musical bliss.

[item value="10"]Talla 2XLC & YORK & Angel City - Euphoria[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Talla 2XLC teams up with York (Torsten Stenzel) and Angel City to deliver “Euphoria,” a 138 BPM vocal trance masterpiece released on That’s Trance and crafted with DJs and dance floors in mind. This track stands out not only for its soaring emotional energy but also for the finesse of its production and technical structure. From a technical perspective, “Euphoria” is built around a tight, driving four-on-the-floor kick that anchors the rhythm, supported by crisp hi-hat patterns and layered percussive elements that add movement without crowding the mix. The bassline is warm and rolling, perfectly side-chained to breathe with the kick, creating that signature trance pulse. Complementing the low-end, York’s signature Balearic guitar riffs are processed with stereo delays and subtle reverb tails, giving the track its open, sun-soaked dimension. The core of the production lies in the interplay between Angel City’s pristine vocals and the lush harmonic layers. Her voice is treated with high-quality compression and gentle saturation, ensuring clarity while maintaining emotional nuance. Each chorus lifts with swelling pads and airy arpeggios, while the breaks are accentuated by atmospheric FX, reverse cymbals, and filtered sweeps that guide the listener into euphoric builds. Towering supersaw synth stabs emerge in the drop, engaging in a call-and-response with the vocals, creating an irresistible festival-ready climax. The arrangement reflects classic uplifting vocal trance values: extended intros for smooth DJ mixing, progressive energy builds, and breakdowns that open into transcendent vocal moments. Fans of 90s and early 2000s euro trance will recognize the meticulous nods to the genre’s roots, while modern production polish keeps the track competitive on contemporary dance floors. “Euphoria” is a love letter to uplifting vocal trance. It respects the tradition of storytelling through melody and voice, offering DJs a track that not only moves crowds physically but also connects with them emotionally. For those who crave tracks where every note, beat, and lyric converge to create spine-tingling bliss, this release will feel like home. #PureGold LoveIT [/content]
