⌨️ Andy Jay Powell & DJ Fait – Always In My Heart 2.O incl. Official Video out on ZYX Trance
ZYX Trance officially announces the highly anticipated release of "Always In My Heart 2.0," a modern reimagining of the 2003 vocal trance classic originally released under the A.J.P. alias on Active Sense Records. Re-engineered from the ground up by veteran producers Andy Jay Powell and DJ Fait, this updated production delivers a high-caliber electronic music asset specifically optimized for contemporary festival and club sound systems.
The Main Mix is clocked at a driving 139 BPM, executing a textbook definition of the German Uplifting Trance style. Built on a foundation of high-transient, punchy kick drums and heavy, sidechained metallic basslines, the low-end architecture provides maximum driving energy. The mid and high frequencies are characterized by automated, resonant acid synthesizer layers and a highly polished percussion matrix. The arrangement centers around an emotional breakdown featuring organic, warm piano soundscapes processed with rich spatial reverb, seamlessly intertwined with pristine, pitch-corrected female vocal tracks. The track engineering builds tension through automated white-noise sweeps and rising synthesizer filters before exploding into a high-intensity, multi-layered climax.
Complementing the release, the package includes the DJ Fait Remix, a harder-edged alternative designed for peak-time deployment. Operating at a relentless 140 BPM, this remix shifts the production paradigm toward classic German Hard Trance. DJ Fait employs raw, saturated bassline patches and high-impact kick samples engineered for maximum sub-bass delivery. Utilizing wide, detuned supersaw lead synthesizers, the remix pays sonic homage to the iconic early-2000s production styles of Cosmic Gate, DJ Shog, and Pulsedriver, successfully bridging vintage nostalgia with modern technical precision.

Lyrics:
I never let you go
I think I love you so
you are always in my heart
you're still a part of me
and what will be will
but your're always in my heart
