[item value="10"]Ferry Corsten, Ruben de Ronde & NRG2000 - Rise Up [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]"Rise Up" by Ferry Corsten in collaboration with Ruben de Ronde and his side project NRG2000 is a masterclass in trance production, blending nostalgic elements with cutting-edge techniques to create a sonic experience designed to captivate any dancefloor. At its core, "Rise Up" operates at a pulsating 142 BPM, a tempo that perfectly balances high energy with rhythmic fluidity, ideal for peak-time sets. The track opens with a dynamic build-up, using layered percussive elements that progressively intensify, setting the stage for the vibrant synths that define its character. The vibrating synths are crafted using a combination of analog emulation and digital synthesis, providing both warmth and clarity. These synths employ detuned saw waves layered with subtle white noise to create a rich, expansive soundscape that resonates through club speakers. The domineering rave vocal is another standout feature, processed through formant shifting and heavy reverb to give it a larger-than-life presence. This vocal anchors the track, providing a human element amidst the electronic textures, and is strategically placed to maximize emotional impact during key transitions. Production-wise, "Rise Up" showcases meticulous attention to detail in its arrangement. The drop is engineered with sidechain compression, allowing the kick drum to punch through the mix, ensuring that each beat hits with maximum force. The bassline, crafted with a resonant, low-end growl, complements the kick perfectly, creating a driving groove that propels the track forward. Moreover, the breakdown section utilizes atmospheric pads and arpeggiated sequences, designed with complex modulation routes to add evolving textures. This not only provides a moment of emotional respite but also builds tension, making the subsequent drop even more impactful. In essence, "Rise Up" is a track that embodies the spirit of trance—euphoria, unity, and energy—while showcasing modern production techniques that keep it fresh and relevant. It's a testament to the producers' expertise in blending classic trance elements with innovative sound design, ensuring that it resonates on both nostalgic and contemporary levels. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

[item value="10"]Nikolauss - The Future We See [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Romanian powerhouse Nikolauss returns to Subculture with "The Future We See," an uplifting trance masterpiece that exemplifies his signature blend of intensity and emotional depth. This 142 BPM euphoric anthem showcases meticulous craftsmanship, both in its production process and technical execution. The track kicks off with energetic, pulsating basslines that are meticulously layered to create a driving, rhythmic foundation. Nikolauss employs sidechain compression to achieve that characteristic pumping effect, allowing the bass to breathe seamlessly with the punchy, metallic kicks. These kicks are sculpted using precise EQ adjustments and transient shaping, ensuring they cut through the mix with clarity without overpowering other elements. Pounding drums, crafted with a combination of synthetic and acoustic samples, add dynamic texture. The hi-hats and percussive elements are treated with subtle reverb and delay, providing depth and spatial movement that enrich the stereo field.
The melodic synths, a hallmark of Nikolauss’s sound, are designed using a blend of virtual analog synthesizers and advanced digital plugins. Layering is key here—bright, soaring leads are complemented by warm pads and plucks, each occupying its own frequency range. The synth plucks feature intricate automation on filter cutoffs and resonance, gradually building tension throughout the arrangement. The long breakdown is a showcase of ethereal beauty, populated with haunting female vocal chops layered with lush, ambient textures. Nikolauss masterfully employs granular synthesis techniques to manipulate these vocals, creating an otherworldly, airy pad effect that serves as an emotional anchor. As the breakdown progresses, tension is meticulously constructed through rising synth arpeggios and subtle acid overtones. The acid lines, generated using resonant filters and distortion units, add a gritty, raw edge that contrasts beautifully with the pristine melodic elements. Automation lanes are heavily utilized to control the intensity, gradually increasing filter resonance and drive to lead into the euphoric, head-banging climax. "The Future We See" is not just a track; it’s an anthem that exemplifies Nikolauss’s technical prowess and visionary approach to trance music. Every element is thoughtfully crafted, from the meticulous sound design to the dynamic arrangement. The result is an absolutely magical composition that transcends the typical club track, offering an immersive auditory experience. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

[item value="10"]DuMonde - Dying Of The Light (feat. Shaun Baker)[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] DuMonde makes a powerful return with "Dying Of The Light" (feat. Shaun Baker) on ZYX Trance, a track that masterfully intertwines technical prowess with emotional resonance. This hard trance masterpiece, set at an energetic 142 BPM, showcases DuMonde's signature production finesse and Shaun Baker's evocative vocal delivery, creating a compelling auditory journey. The track’s foundation is built upon hypnotic 303 acid lines, meticulously crafted through dynamic modulation techniques. These acid sequences employ varying resonance and cutoff settings, producing a squelchy, pulsating groove that ebbs and flows with hypnotic intensity. The modulation effects are not merely for aesthetic; they serve as a bridge, seamlessly connecting euphoric synths with the track’s driving beats. Beneath the acidic layers lies a bedrock of gritty, textured basslines. DuMonde employs multi-layering techniques, blending analog-style sub-bass with midrange growls that enhance depth and warmth. The basslines interact fluidly with tech-infused drum patterns, where crisp hi-hats, sharp snares, and meticulously programmed percussions create a rhythmic complexity that propels the track forward. Central to "Dying Of The Light" is DuMonde's resonant, tribal-style kick drum—a hallmark of their sound. This kick is crafted with precision, balancing punch and warmth to ensure it cuts through the dense mix without overpowering other elements. The kick’s resonance adds a primal, pulsating energy, anchoring the track’s high-frequency elements. Shaun Baker’s poignant spoken vocals infuse the track with emotional gravitas. His delivery is raw and heartfelt, contrasting beautifully with the mechanical precision of the instrumental. The vocals are processed subtly, with slight reverb and delay effects that enhance their presence without diminishing their authenticity. For enthusiasts seeking a pure instrumental experience, the alternate version strips back the vocals, placing DuMonde’s intricate soundscapes at the forefront. Here, the nuanced synth work shines, revealing layers of arpeggios, atmospheric pads, and evolving textures that might be missed beneath the vocal mix. "Dying Of The Light" is not just a hard trance track; it’s a testament to DuMonde’s enduring legacy in the genre. Their blend of technical mastery and emotional storytelling, enhanced by Shaun Baker's emblematic vocals, cements this release as a standout on ZYX Trance. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

[item value="10"]Armin van Buuren & Seth Hills feat. Alessia Labate - Gimme The Love [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Armin van Buuren and Seth Hills have joined forces to deliver an electrifying trance anthem, "Gimme The Love," featuring the captivating vocals of Alessia Labate. Clocking in at 142 BPM, this track masterfully blends euphoric trance elements with mainstage and techno rave influences, ensuring its place as a standout club hit. The track showcases a meticulously crafted structure that begins with a powerful intro characterized by heavy, punchy kicks and tight, bouncy drums. The rhythmic foundation is enhanced by dynamic percussive layers, adding depth and drive to the beat. The basslines are robust, featuring a punchy, rolling design that complements the higher-frequency leads, creating an energetic groove that keeps the momentum alive. One of the standout features is the main synth hook in the breakdown. Designed using a combination of saw-tooth waveforms and lush reverb effects, the melody evokes nostalgia, reminiscent of early 2000s trance classics. The use of sidechain compression gives the synths a pulsing effect, syncing perfectly with the kick drum to maintain rhythmic cohesion. The breakdown is crafted with atmospheric pads and arpeggiated synth layers that build anticipation. Alessia Labate's vocals are highlighted here, treated with subtle pitch correction for clarity, layered harmonies for richness, and light delay and reverb to create a spacious, ethereal feel that contrasts beautifully with the energetic drops. The mixing process ensures each element holds its space within the frequency spectrum. High-pass filters are applied strategically to prevent low-end muddiness, while multiband compression balances the dynamic range, allowing both the vocals and the synth leads to shine vibrantly. The mastering process adds the final polish, with stereo widening enhancing the track’s spatial dimension and a slight boost in the upper mids to accentuate the euphoric melodies. "Gimme The Love" is a testament to the artists' prowess in blending technical precision with emotive musicality. The production is tight, energetic, and designed to resonate with both trance enthusiasts and mainstream audiences, ensuring clubbers are left exhilarated and craving more. #PureGold #LoveIt [/content]

[item value="10"]AA Meeting - Flashback [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]AA Meeting, the dynamic collaboration between trance legends John Askew and Activa, showcases an exceptional blend of technical prowess and creative flair in their track "Flashback." Operating at a vigorous 142 BPM, this uplifting instrumental trance masterpiece exemplifies meticulous production techniques and a masterful grasp of sonic architecture. From a technical perspective, "Flashback" is anchored by its robust arrangement and immersive sound design. The foundation is laid with energetic, pulsating basslines crafted through precise sidechain compression, ensuring they maintain a rhythmic synergy with the track's thumping kicks. These kicks, likely enhanced with layered samples and subtle transient shaping, provide a driving force that underscores the track's relentless energy. The percussion elements, including the pounding drums, are meticulously processed with high-pass filtering and reverb automation to create spatial depth and dynamic movement. The melancholic piano melody that leads the track introduces an emotional nuance, its reverb-drenched timbre intertwining seamlessly with the underlying acid overtones. These acid lines, likely generated using classic analog synths with resonant filter tweaks and modulation envelopes, inject a raw, hypnotic edge that contrasts beautifully with the melodic components. As the track progresses, big swirling synths come into play, constructed through layered oscillator stacks and complex modulation matrices. These synths build tension and anticipation, employing techniques like filter sweeps, LFO-driven panning, and gradual reverb decay reduction to heighten intensity. The breakdown stands out for its extended, atmospheric quality, featuring a rich tapestry of synthy plucks and airy harps. The plucks, possibly achieved with subtractive synthesis and careful envelope shaping, provide a crisp, ethereal texture. The harps add a delicate, whimsical touch, enhanced by lush reverb tails and stereo widening effects. This section masterfully builds towards the climax, utilizing crescendoing white noise sweeps, pitch risers, and strategic silence to amplify the eventual drop. The climax itself is a payoff of epic proportions, designed for that quintessential "hands in the air" moment. The elements converge in a powerful synthesis of melody, rhythm, and texture, showcasing AA Meeting's deep understanding of trance music's emotional and technical dimensions. #PureGold indeed—"Flashback" is a testament to the intricate art of trance production, where every sonic detail is crafted with precision and passion. #LoveIT [/content]

His latest offering, "Protocol 2F6," is a 142 BPM mainstage tech trancer crafted with meticulous production techniques that showcase his mastery of sound design and audio engineering. The track opens with a gritty, raw bassline that sets an aggressive tone, meticulously processed with multi-band distortion and saturation to achieve its rugged texture. The hard-hitting beats are sculpted through layered percussive elements, combining punchy analog drum machine samples with crisp digital transients. The kick drum, described as thunderous and "Godzilla-sized," is a testament to Ryan K's precision in sound layering—achieved through a combination of sub-bass reinforcement and transient shaping to maintain clarity and impact even in dense mixes. Protocol 2F6’s unique character is further accentuated by its use of horror-style spoken vocal samples, cleverly integrated through time-stretching and pitch modulation to complement the dark, moody atmosphere. The haunting synth hook channels the spirit of late '90s German hard trance, crafted using vintage-inspired virtual analog synthesizers with resonant filter sweeps and detuned oscillator stacks to evoke a nostalgic yet fresh feel. The arrangement is meticulously structured to build tension and release, with dynamic automation controlling filter cutoffs, reverb tails, and delay feedback levels, creating a sense of evolving energy. The climactic drop is engineered to maximize dancefloor impact, employing sidechain compression techniques to allow the kick and bass to dominate without overwhelming the melodic elements.

We are evolving the concept of VII.

We are changing to an exciting new format which will allow us to release music from anyone and not just the seven focus artists on the label.

While the existing format of the label does give a focused spotlight on a hugely talented group of core artists, we also feel it excludes so much good music that we get sent, music that fits our mantra and vibe perfectly.

Also with this evolution we want to evolve our booking policy for VII events - meaning we will now book artists from the list of producers that have previously released on the label. These changes will avoid repetition and predictability, two things we don’t want on our path forwards.

With this exciting change we feel our brand will become more diverse and above all will be able to present a much wider range of music - but all aligned with the core sound and style.

And so with that change we’re now proud to present our first VII release that falls under the new format - this is Drop It from the utterly brilliant Zach Zlov who we’re thrilled to now bring under our wing with his futuristic tech sound that that been blowing our minds for years.

A new chapter begins with Drop It, by @zachzlov - out on VII this Friday!

John Askew commented about the track: “I can’t tell you how excited I am about this release. It’s well documented that Zach is my favourite tech producer and I love everything he makes but this one takes the fucking biscuit. It is IN-SANE. I played this out for the first time on my Asia tour last year, including at Transmission during our AA Meeting set and it just takes the dance floor apart. The quality of the production is amazing, so full, powerful. Zach is a master and it’s an honour to have him release on VII”.

[item value="10"]Zach Zlov - Drop It [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] VII is an underground collective of boundary-pushing artists, renowned for their refusal to conform to musical norms. Their latest offering, "Drop It" by Zach Zlov, exemplifies this ethos with a sophisticated blend of dark tech-inspired elements and meticulous sound design. From a technical standpoint, "Drop It" is 142 BPM masterclass in production. The track opens with wild, driving dark techy basslines, crafted through precise layering of distorted sub-bass frequencies and mid-range growls, creating a rich, textured low-end. The pounding moody percussion is built using a combination of synthesized drum hits and processed live drum samples, giving the rhythm section both punch and organic flair. The kicks are tightly compressed, offering a driving force that anchors the track, while the live-like drums add dynamic nuances, achieved through subtle velocity changes and reverb automation. Zach Zlov’s use of dark, swirling synths adds another layer of complexity. These synths are likely created with analog gear or analog emulation plugins, enriched with modulation effects such as phasers and flangers to achieve a swirling, evolving texture. This contributes to the track’s rough, raw atmosphere and intense drive, effectively immersing the listener. One of the standout features is the AI-produced spoken vocal samples. These samples are not mere placeholders but integral components designed to hypnotize the crowd. The AI algorithms probably involved text-to-speech synthesis with pitch and formant modulation to achieve a unique, robotic yet human-like timbre. The vocal processing includes delay and reverb effects, adding spatial depth and enhancing the hypnotic quality. The breakdown section is a testament to Zlov’s prowess in tension building. It’s mysterious and dystopic, featuring siren-like sounds that are crafted using pitch-bent synth layers combined with filtered white noise sweeps. The background ambiance is enriched with subtle granular synthesis effects, creating an otherworldly soundscape that maintains listener anticipation. As the track builds towards its climax, automation plays a critical role. Filter cutoffs, resonance boosts, and gradual increases in reverb size and decay times create a sense of rising energy. The climax is characterized by an unstoppable surge of sound, with head-down, aggressive energy that is both uplifting and cathartic—hallmarks of a perfect tech trance experience.

[item value="10"]Allen Watts - S.L.C [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Allen Watts continues to assert his dominance in the trance scene with his latest anthem, "S.L.C.," released under the prestigious Nocturnal Knights label. A testament to his innovative spirit, Allen deftly blends traditional uplifting trance elements with unexpected stylistic influences, showcasing his prowess in production techniques and sonic experimentation. From a technical standpoint, "S.L.C." is a masterclass in sound design and arrangement. The track opens with a driving kick drum, meticulously layered with crisp hi-hats and punchy percussive elements that create an energetic, forward-moving rhythm. The use of hip house-style vocal samples adds a dynamic texture, seamlessly integrated through precision EQ and reverb effects to maintain clarity and prominence without overshadowing other elements. Allen incorporates Dutch hard house influences, evident in the gritty basslines that provide a robust, resonant foundation. These basslines are skillfully side-chained to the kick, ensuring a powerful yet clean low-end presence. The harmonic progression is carefully structured, leading into a breathtaking breakdown where lush, euphoric synths take center stage. These synths are characterized by wide, detuned saw waves processed through expansive stereo imaging techniques, creating a rich, enveloping soundscape. The climactic section is quintessential Allen Watts—high-energy, emotionally charged, and meticulously crafted. The lead synths are layered with precision, utilizing subtle automation on parameters such as filter cutoff and resonance to build tension and release. The use of reverb and delay effects is finely tuned, adding depth without muddying the mix. What sets "S.L.C." apart is Allen's fearless incorporation of diverse influences, pushing the boundaries of traditional trance music while maintaining his signature sound. The track's production quality is a testament to his technical expertise, balancing complexity and clarity to deliver a powerful auditory experience. #PureGold indeed—this anthem is a vibrant, headbanging journey that resonates on both an emotional and technical level.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Brendan Bartels has solidified his reputation as a master in crafting intricate productions, particularly within the realm of tech trance, characterized by its underground allure. In his collaboration with Cari, titled "Road Ahead," Bartels transcends the boundaries of traditional vocal trance, delivering a track that is as unconventional as it is captivating. Cari's contribution to "Road Ahead" is particularly noteworthy, with her vocals being ingeniously manipulated to serve as a melodic element rather than the focal point for lyrical singalong. This innovative approach involves extensive vocal processing, where Cari's voice undergoes heavy chopping, gating, and compressing. These techniques transform her vocals into integral components of the track's melodic structure, blending seamlessly with the sharp psy tech basslines that drive the track forward. In terms of rhythmic elements, "Road Ahead" impresses with its edgy kicks and thumping percussion, forming a robust backbone that propels the track. The percussive elements are complemented by a plethora of sound effects and samples, all skillfully woven into the fabric of the track. This creates an experimental and playful arrangement that is a hallmark of tech trance, pushing the envelope of traditional genre conventions. The production values are undeniably high, with each element meticulously crafted to contribute to the track's overall dark and roasted sonic palette. The psy tech basslines are razor-sharp, cutting through the mix with precision and power, ensuring that "Road Ahead" maintains its energy on the dancefloor. For DJs and producers entrenched in the tech or psy trance genres, this track offers a distinctive flair that is both captivating and enduring, capable of keeping audiences entranced for hours on end. Truly a #PureGold piece of music that fans of the genre will cherish. Love IT[/content]

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Ferry Tayle and his good friend TonKs have once again displayed their mastery in trance music with their Mirage project, releasing the track "Take Your Flight" on the renowned label, Dreamstate. This track is a testament to their technical prowess and innovative production techniques, offering a journey into the heart of trance music. The track opens with energetic, pulsating basslines that immediately set the scene for what’s to come. These basslines are meticulously layered with thumping, pounding kicks that form a solid rhythmic foundation, creating an irresistible drive that propels the listener forward. The percussive elements are sharp and precise, meticulously engineered to enhance the track's dynamic energy without overshadowing other elements. A standout feature of "Take Your Flight" is its use of intense acid overtones. These acid sounds are skillfully woven into the composition, adding a layer of complexity and excitement that keeps listeners engaged. Complementing these are ravey, synthy stabs, which are strategically placed to increase tension and anticipation, leading up to a monumental breakdown. The breakdown itself is a masterclass in sci-fi thematic elements, incorporating a cool and futuristic robotic spoken vocal sample. This element is not merely decorative; it’s carefully integrated to invite listeners—the trancers—to metaphorically spread their wings and embark on a sonic adventure. The breakdown teases with its length and depth, offering a moment of introspective calm before the storm. As the track builds, a melodic synthy layer elevates the experience, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transcends the ordinary. This melodic element seamlessly transitions into a powerful and energetic climax, characterized by a massive synth hook that dominates the foreground while maintaining harmony with the track's foundational elements. The production on "Take Your Flight" is nothing short of exceptional. Every sound is meticulously crafted and placed, resulting in a cohesive sonic experience that resonates with both the heart and mind. Ferry Tayle and TonKs have created not just a track, but a journey that keeps clubbers moving from start to finish. Their attention to detail and innovative approach ensure that "Take Your Flight" will be a staple in trance sets, captivating audiences worldwide and earning its place as #PureGold in the hearts of trance lovers. In conclusion, "Take Your Flight" showcases Ferry Tayle and TonKs' ability to blend technical precision with emotional depth, a combination that makes this track a standout release on Dreamstate. #PureGold #LoveiT[/content]

Lyrics
I can't sleep on through the night
I don't know if we'll be alright
I forget all that I know
I think you're here, but I'm on my own
Didn't I lose my way
Holding the lights
Hoping you'll come while they burn through the night
Didn't you see the fire
All that we lost
Didn't you hear me cry
Hands in the dust
I drew a map, to bring you to me
You shut your eyes and now you can't see
I walked away, but you didn't call
What if you don't love me anymore?
Didn't I lose my way
Holding the lights
Hoping you'll come while they burn through the night
Didn't you see the fire
All that we lost
Didn't you hear me cry
Hands in the dust
I know that I tried everything
But we hurled the dust, ash on the wind
Didn't I lose my way
Holding the lights
Hoping you'll come while they burn through the night
Didn't you see the fire
All that we lost
Didn't you hear me cry
Hands in the dust
Watching the walls cave in
And you're standing still
And everyone's turning in
Hands on the wheel
You had my what?
You had, my heart
And I don't wanna love you. oh ohh
... if you can't
