Trance Review: DJ Sakin & DJ Eternity - Take Me Away out on ZYX Trance

 


DJ Sakin and DJ Eternity’s collaboration, “Take Me Away,” is a refreshing addition to the trance scene that demonstrates how classic inspiration can align with modern club demands. This club friendly 135 BPM track opens with a clean, driving kick and a rolling bass pattern that instantly signals energy to the dance floor. The producers carefully layer metallic percussion and thumping drums to give the rhythm a spacious yet immersive feel, building a groove that DJs can seamlessly weave into both peak-hour and warm-up sets.

What makes “Take Me Away” stand out is its intricate use of melody and atmosphere without overwhelming the listener. The warm synth lines slowly emerge from the low-end foundation, guiding the audience toward a breakdown that feels both intimate and expansive. The vocal section, with its singalong phrasing, is timed perfectly to give dancers a moment of connection without losing the forward momentum. Rather than cluttering the mix, the duo keeps the production lean, letting each sound have its own space, which makes cueing, looping, and blending effortless for any trance DJ.

The buildup to the climax relies on subtle tension: soft, euphoric synth riffs rise over the groove, creating a sensation of lift without resorting to abrupt effects or distracting drops. When the peak arrives, the combination of melodic proglifting energy and the slightly wonky groove locks dancers into a euphoric state. This balance of nostalgia and freshness is why it’s not just another trance track; it’s a tool DJs can trust to engage both seasoned clubbers and casual festival crowds.

Beyond the club, “Take Me Away” is ideal for mental health and fitness routines. Its evolving structure and uplifting melodies naturally encourage focus and release, making it perfect for running, cycling, or even meditative movement. The track’s gradual flow allows listeners to enter a state of rhythm-driven mindfulness, where stress fades and energy levels are lifted. For anyone seeking a music-driven boost, this collaboration delivers that sense of escape and motivation.

With their first-ever collaboration, DJ Sakin and DJ Eternity have created a track that transcends simple entertainment—it’s a versatile, mood-elevating experience that fits right into a DJ’s toolkit and a listener’s wellness playlist alike.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]DJ Sakin and DJ Eternity’s “Take Me Away” stands as a masterful 135 BPM trance anthem, meticulously crafted for both club and festival environments. The track opens with a tight, driving kick and a rolling sub-bass that immediately establishes rhythmic authority, providing a stable foundation for DJs to cue and layer seamlessly. The production demonstrates exceptional attention to detail, particularly in the careful EQ carving that allows every element—from percussive hi-hats to atmospheric pads—to shine without clashing. Its dynamic range is finely balanced, maintaining loudness and impact without sacrificing clarity, while the use of sidechain compression gives the bassline a breathing pulse that enhances momentum. Harmonic layers and melodic structures are central to the track’s emotional power. Euphoric lead synths are introduced in careful stages, building a multi-dimensional soundscape that feels immersive and cinematic. The build-ups and transitions are executed with precision, using a combination of risers, filter sweeps, and reverb-tail automation to create tension before each explosive drop. Every peak is followed by an intimate breakdown, allowing dancers to catch their breath while maintaining the track’s storytelling cohesion. The polished use of delay and spatial effects creates a wide stereo image that adds depth and movement, making the track feel alive in both small spaces and large, open-air stages. From a functional perspective for DJs, “Take Me Away” shows remarkable versatility. Its BPM consistency at 135 allows for effortless beat-matching, while the intro and outro are designed with clear cue points and loop potential, enabling flawless transitions in live sets. The track’s dynamic energy curve supports set flow, adding both lift and release without overwhelming the listener, ultimately maximizing crowd engagement and reaction potential. Beyond the dance floor, “Take Me Away” offers profound benefits for fitness, mental health, and wellness environments. The driving rhythm and uplifting melodic content can enhance endurance and focus during high-intensity workouts, such as spinning or aerobics. Scientific research supports the positive effects of music on psychological and physiological performance: studies have shown that up-tempo music stimulates the release of endorphins, reduces perceived exertion, and increases overall exercise enjoyment (Karageorghis & Priest, 2012). Moreover, rhythmic entrainment—where the brain and body synchronize to musical beats—enhances motor coordination and flow states, improving both mood and cognitive clarity (Thaut et al., 2015). For stress management and mindfulness-based exercise like dance or cardio-based meditation sessions, the euphoric qualities and uplifting progressions of trance music can transform emotional states, reduce anxiety, and promote a positive mental reset. In essence, “Take Me Away” is not just a club weapon; it is a track that fosters energy, resilience, and joy across physical and mental domains. Its combination of creative sound design, technical excellence, and emotional resonance ensures longevity in playlists, from peak-hour festival sets to personal fitness routines. This is pure musical fuel—empowering, immersive, and unforgettable. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
