[item value="10"]ARTY x MRYN - Taking Me Higher [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]ARTY collaborates with the exceptional singer MRYN. for the stunning progressive house track "Taking Me Higher," a remarkable piece that showcases meticulous attention to technical detail and sophisticated production techniques. Clocking in at 126 BPM, this melodic, dreamy progressive house anthem is a masterclass in contemporary electronic music production. The foundation of the track is built upon pulsating basslines that provide a dynamic, driving force, underpinning the entire composition with an infectious groove. The bass is meticulously processed through sidechain compression, syncing perfectly with the thumping kick drums to create a rhythmic breathing effect that enhances the track's energy and flow. The kick itself is punchy and well-defined, achieved through precise EQing and layering techniques that allow it to cut through the mix without overpowering other elements. Complementing the low-end are punchy drums and crisp hi-hats, sequenced with intricate patterns that add both rhythmical complexity and forward momentum. ARTY employs advanced drum programming methods, including subtle ghost notes and syncopated percussion, to maintain listener engagement and inject a humanized feel into the electronic framework. The melodic elements are where "Taking Me Higher" truly shines. Strong, synthy stabs and fantastic melancholic chords create a lush harmonic landscape. ARTY utilizes a blend of analog and digital synthesizers, applying modulation effects such as chorus, reverb, and delay to add depth and texture. The use of filter automation and dynamic EQ ensures these melodic components evolve throughout the track, maintaining a hypnotic, immersive atmosphere. MRYN.'s emotive vocals are flawlessly integrated into the mix, processed with precision to preserve their emotional impact. Techniques such as pitch correction, vocal layering, and harmonic processing enhance the clarity and richness of the performance. The lyrics are deeply touching, and their placement within the arrangement allows them to resonate powerfully, inviting sing-alongs and emotional connection. The track’s arrangement showcases ARTY's expertise in structure and dynamics, with carefully crafted build-ups and breakdowns that manipulate tension and release effectively. The percussive melodies and nostalgic touches are accentuated through the use of reverb tails, delay feedback loops, and subtle background textures, creating an eclectic sonic tapestry that appeals to both club enthusiasts and radio listeners. "Taking Me Higher" is not just a track; it's a testament to ARTY’s artistic vision and technical prowess, a progressive house gem that's as emotionally stirring as it is sonically impressive. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Perfect to kick off a club night with, Sascha Braemer’s rendition of ‘Lost In Loving You’ injects some irresistible Afro house flavor into ARTY and Louis III’s original. With warm tones, cushioned piano chords and a compelling groove, this track perfectly channels the early-evening mood.








Lyrics
You’re like an ocean that I fall in
There’s no beginning and no end
You’re like a picture I’m drawing
I wanna trace your every edge
So lost in loving you
So lost in loving you
So lost in loving you
So lost in loving you
I wanna dive in and uncover
Every corner of your mind
I’m on a mission to discover
All the you there is to find

I

Keep looking for the signs
Yeah I
Hope there’s no way out
Way out
So lost in loving you
So lost in loving you
In loving you
In loving you
So lost in loving you
In loving you

ALPHA 9's ‘Save Earth EP’, out now on Anjunabeats.

The EP consists of two previously-released singles, ‘Zara’ (ALPHA 9 Remix) and ‘Before The Dawn’ (ALPHA 9 & Lørean Remix), as well as new track ‘Save Earth’. Road tested extensively throughout his tour and in his ABGT500 show last October, the EP follows on from ALPHA 9’s acclaimed debut album ‘New Horizons’.

Artem Stolyarov, known as both ARTY and ALPHA 9, has earned millions of fans worldwide and filled some of the most coveted clubs and festivals on earth. He arrived at Anjunabeats under his ARTY alias over a decade ago. ‘Rush’, ‘Zara’, ‘Around The World’, ‘Rebound’ and ‘Kate’ are classics that helped define the sound of the label in the early 2010s.

Artem later looked inward and found renewed purpose as ALPHA 9, the alias under which he’s explored his true musical identity in recent years. Focusing on the progressive trance that he fell in love with as a teenager, some of Artem’s standout moments as ALPHA 9 include ‘Before The Dawn’, ‘Stellar’, ‘Skin’, and his faithful update of Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston’s evergreen classic ‘Good For Me’.

In January 2023, the debut ALPHA 9 album emerged. Entitled 'New Horizons', the album has already amassed over 6.4 million streams, and is an enticing look at the ALPHA 9 project to date and where it's heading next. Tracks from the album took centre stage during ALPHA 9's Group Therapy 500 set at Banc of California Stadium, Los Angeles, and during his 'New Horizons' album tour across North America.

ALPHA 9 has a busy summer ahead with shows at Tomorrowland, our Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge, and Echo Mountain in Colorado for Anjunabeats Outdoors (Tickets on sale now: https://anjunabeats.com/gb/events/anjunabeats-outdoors).

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]ALPHA 9 aka Arty is one of the hottest talents in the electronic music scene with years of experience. His latest  Save Earth EP is a powerful 3 tracks journey that take us all the way to the mainstage with 3 club oriented cuts. Save Earth is an epic progressive 134  BPM  trancer with techy drums, rough kicks and long breakdown that allows the Ibiza style summery synth plucks to fully emerge and uplift your senses. The beat strikes back for the full on headbanging euphoric climax that has drive and dynamism to keep you dancing and pumping all night long by merging techno and trance perfectly. The other two tracks are equally powerful and melodic with always the techno side of them highlighted. His new rework of his classic Zara is just magical with so cool techno 132 BPM driving climax with the big synths and euphoric orchestral strings sending goosebumps and the unforgettable piano melody. Before the Dawn moves on the same pumping 132 tempo with very strong vocals and huge colorful synths upon his full on foundation of great beats and tribalish percussion. OUR scene is so gifted when artists like Alpha 9 continue to provide tracks of high class that are danceable and anthemic.   [/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Alpha 9 aka Arty is an artist that you can trust for producing beautiful tracks with that magic sparkle in them. All We Need is another example of his ability to deliver deep melodic progressive trance with house infusions and extremely luscious breakdown with heavenly female voices and emotionally sweet synthy plucks that will definitely crawl under your skin and recall what good melodies is all about. The climax has the anthemic optimistic flavour perfect choice of any DJ who wishes to build his set with positive attitude as he promises a nice and comfortable journey with his music. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

After the big hit that was Lily, ARTY presents ALPHA 9 returns to Flashover with You and I. Driving forward on a big, bold bassline, You and I sports vocals from the man himself in the break, which then propels toward a melodic and emotional grooving drop.

 [item value="10"]Alpha 9 - You & I[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The incredibly talented Arty presents another superb outing of his Alpha 9 moniker. He continues on his very warm deep melodic dreamy trance sound that combines successfully pulsating basslines, pumping drums, chunky grooves and superbly emotional melodies along with heavenly synths and great strings creating the perfect sonic scenery that will transcend your mind to faraway places and mysterious spaces. The breakdown includes the distorted robotic vocal that sounds pretty good but I would prefer a non vocal or dub version to be included in the package. The build up is intense leading to the very effective and highly hypnotic climax. Quality wins once again with Alpha 9. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Hot on the heels of the inclusion of 'The Night Is Ours' in Armin van Buuren's 'A State Of Trance 2017' mix album, 'Higher Place' rises at the next jaw-dropping single of Arty under his Alpha 9 moniker. From its entrancing atmosphere to the impeccable melody and riveting chords, this high-end composition will cause sky-high elation among fans time after time.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Alpha 9 aka Arty is presenting us the right way to discover a Higher Place to enjoy ourselves. We deal here with an excellent melodic dreamy progressive trancer with soft pulsating basslines, bouncy grooves and superb breakdown with hair raising electronic melodies along with heavenly melodies. The smooth dreamy silky atmosphere slowly builds tension until to raise our consciousnesses and start dancing like there is no tomorrow. The climax is captivating and undoubtedly euphoric. It's already a classic for my trance encyclopedia. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
