Trance Review: Amy Wiles - I Never Want This To End EP out on Anjunabeats


Rapidly ascending DJ and producer Amy Wiles ends the year on a high note with her most personal and emotionally charged project to date, “I Never Want This To End” EP, released November 7 on Anjunabeats. Across five tracks, Wiles pours her heart into a collection that captures the essence of her journey—the long nights, the relentless drive, and her unwavering love for electronic music. It’s a record that feels both intimate and expansive, showcasing the melodic trance sound that has become her signature while reflecting the growth and resilience that define her story.

Wiles has always been very vocal about her family sparking her interest in music from a young age. “My mum first introduced me to music; it was all learnt from her,” Wiles says. “She is a dance music and trance head. My dad also absolutely loves bands and indie rock, and my brother is also an artist and releases indie and rock-style music. I’m also really into this as well and I love to see bands at gigs and concerts in my spare time.”

Coming from a musical family that nurtured her from the very start, it was no surprise she quickly found her way into the industry while creating her own music. From intern to leading artist, Amy Wiles’ journey is one of determination and dedication. Since first joining Anjunabeats as a marketing intern, she has climbed the ranks to become a main part of the label’s global roster—performing at stages like Creamfields, Tomorrowland, Highlights, supporting KETTAMA in Ibiza, as well as growing her own headline shows including at legendary London club Ministry of Sound as well as Phonox.

Anjunabeats label head Gareth Jones recalls:
“Amy was already enraptured by the music when she walked through the door. She’s grown into a leading artist with the same passion and spirit that’s always defined her - someone who embodies the very best of the dance music community.”
Now, with “I Never Want This To End”, Wiles delivers a snapshot of where her sound - and her spirit - are in 2025: euphoric, authentic, and full of heart. Each track showcases a different facet of Amy’s artistry: from the shimmering title track’s emotional crescendo to the festival-favorite “Heard It All Before”, and the sun-soaked melodic escape of “Balearic September”. Collaborations with Leena Punks, flowanastasia, and Angel City highlight her ability to bridge classic trance textures with modern energy.
“The title ‘I Never Want This To End’ comes from a place of gratitude and emotion,” Amy shares. “Even though this industry can be tough - the travel, the pressure, the constant pace - I can’t imagine doing anything else. As long as I’m creating music, playing shows, and connecting with people through sound, I’m happy. This EP is a reminder of that feeling.”
BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard recently dubbed Wiles “the leading lady of trance”, while fans and DJs alike have praised her “authentic, quality sound”. This latest collection reaffirms her place among the most inspiring figures in the new wave of trance artists.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Amy Wiles’ 2025 release, I Never Want This To End, is an exemplary showcase of modern trance production combined with emotional resonance and technical mastery. Across its tracks, the EP reflects a finely tuned balance between euphoric energy and heartfelt melodic storytelling. Wiles’ production techniques highlight her deep understanding of contemporary trance and progressive sound engineering. Each track features meticulously layered harmonic elements, sculpted with precision EQ and dynamic range management that maintains clarity even at club-ready loudness levels. The title track’s 136 BPM foundation supports pulsating basslines and expansive midrange synths, reminiscent of late '90s trance, but with a modern polish achieved through multiband compression and subtle stereo widening. “Balearic September,” at 140 BPM, delivers a sun-soaked uplifter with bright harmonic layering and reverb tails that create a floating, immersive experience. Vocal-driven tracks like “Heard It All Before,” featuring Leena Punks and flowanastasia, demonstrate her skill in spatial mixing and sidechain ducking, allowing vocals to soar above the rhythmic intensity without masking the instrumental energy. The EP excels in its transitions, drops, and build-ups. Wiles employs tension-and-release structures with precision, often using filtered sweeps, riser automation, and percussive fills to lead into explosive drops that maintain dancefloor momentum. Tracks like “Dream Away” capture the essence of festival euphoria with singalong choruses layered over 138 BPM rolling rhythms, while “Each Other” creatively samples a classic motif, integrating it seamlessly into a modern trance framework. The energy flow across the EP is cohesive, enabling DJs to incorporate multiple tracks into a set effortlessly due to consistent BPM ranges and clean cue points. Beyond its technical merits, the EP carries significant psychological and physiological benefits. Research in music psychology suggests that high-BPM, melodically rich electronic music can enhance mood, reduce stress, and support cognitive engagement (Thompson et al., 2001; Chanda & Levitin, 2013). Tracks like “Balearic September” and “Dream Away” foster positive emotional states through the release of dopamine and endorphins, making them ideal for fitness sessions, yoga flow classes with an energetic twist, and mental wellness routines. Uplifting trance, with its repetitive structure and harmonic consonance, has been linked to meditative states and improved focus, offering tangible benefits for both emotional regulation and motivation. With BPMs ranging from 134 to 140, the EP is engineered for seamless integration into club and festival sets. Its dynamic energy and loop-friendly arrangements ensure that DJs can leverage each track for crowd engagement, with the melodic components providing strong emotional hooks for peak-time moments. The balance of classic trance nostalgia with forward-facing production makes these tracks highly replayable for both live audiences and home listeners. Amy Wiles’ I Never Want This To End EP is a masterclass in melodic trance, merging technical sophistication with emotional depth. It not only strengthens her artistic identity but also serves as a reminder of electronic music’s power to uplift, energize, and heal. For anyone seeking music that bridges the dancefloor and personal well-being, this EP is essential listening. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
