Already featured on this month's 'Trance Hits Top 20’ compilation, this remix of Insigma's classic 'In Our Eyes' by Tim Verkruissen & Ruben Verhagen is now released in full extended glory!



Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most beloved trance classics is back thanks to Tim Verkruissen & Ruben Verhagen who attempted to remodel and refresh it for 2015. The mindblowing Insigma and the exceptional Open Our Eyes well known as Open Your Eyes  when was supported back in the days from Dj Tiesto. The track is amazing progressive big room trancer that will push your imagination to its limits. Tech trance grooves, punchy sharp basslines and huge synthy themes on the top. The breakdown is long and atmospheric allowing the main well known melody to get full exposure and the energy to flow gradually until the tech trance climax arrives. It starts dark and techy but soon the main melodic themes appear but quite understated and not at the forefront. If you love the big tech trance tunes with touch of psy trance then you will appreciate this well worth released updated. #PureGold Love It

1. Coming On Strong (Psymes & BlueHawk Remix)
2. What Ya Got 4 Me (Duncan Newell Remix)
3. Any Given Moment (Manuel Le Saux Remix)
4. What Ya Got 4 Me (Lostly Remix)



After his latest release “First Strike” on Armada Music and a feature on ASOT 690 with “Gold In The Sky",

Signum is back with a new Remix E.P. Lostly, Duncan Newell, Psymes & BlueHawk, and Manuel Le Saux all take Signum originals and create a barrage of outstanding trance tunes. So much beauty, energy, and intensity — feast your ears!

Dimitri Kechagias review: Signum aka Ron Hagen from the Netherlands returns on ARVS part of Armada music with the long awaited remix EP of some of the most incredible moments of Signum from the years that they were duo of course with Pascal M. Coming On Strong is remixed by Psymes & BlueHawk who service the full on hands in the air uplifting version that takes advantage of the massive uplifting themes and unforgettable diva house vocal samples while underneath add the rough and metallic basslines along with the pumping drums for the ultimate euphoric trance experience. The beloved anthem What Ya Got 4 Me is remixed by Duncan Newell and Lostly. Duncan does his best to impress with a version that has the right amounts of clean clear crispy energy along with pulsating basslines and excellent application of the classic euphoric colourful hands in the air synthy riff that gives you shivers and recalls the great days of pure trance. Ibiza trance at its very best perfectly updated for the uplifting trance generation. Lostly from South Africa proves why he is one to look out for at the moment. His arrangement tight and solid goes for the full on uplifting hands in the air sound with grounding and infusions from the original. With additional Ibiza style melodies and sunkissed atmosphere he moves to his long breakdown that euphoric classy synthy lead and female vocals will give you goosebumps instantly followed by psy trance meets acid trance climax that will surprise many fans of the all time classic. Lastly Any Given Moment is remixed incredibly from the Italian megastar Manuel Le Saux. The top version is rough and aggressive hard trance with ultra long breakdown that allows the main theme to develop and explode out of proportions on the euphoric colourful and fluorescent climax that you wish to last for ever. With orchestral classical music influences and hair raising themes you will be reminded why trance is the music that bridges the past with the future. I'm very sure that these remixes will be played a lot during the summer of 2015. 100% must play remixes. Love It

DJs take note: if the crowd starts looking a little ‘Faded’, throw this tune in the mix and watch the adrenaline fill the room.

This one is all about the drop, and it’s nothing short of pure fire.

Paul Mayson’s got his sound on lock, and we can’t wait to hear this played on the main stage.











Dimitri Kechagias review: Brand new talent that continues to rise at the top of his game is Paul Mayson who returns on Armada Music with his superb anthem Faded on ARVA sublabel. Faded is full on hands in the air euphoric progressive house banger that deserves to get many plays on mainstage sets. It starts with meaty drums, percussive melodies and aggressive punchy basslines. The breakdown reveals the hugely anthemic and highly euphoric synthy hook that will blow your mind and wake up your senses. His drop is playful and absolutely irresistible with euphoric synths, pizzicato style melodies and heavy foundation of pumping sounds that will vibrate energy and intensity all over the place and will boost your adrenaline levels to its limits. Hands in the air mainstage power banger that follows the successful paths of its predecessors with success guaranteed. #PureBanger Love It

Qubicon & Yoshi Breen's vocal was given not one, but two brand new remixes to shine in! Aytec Kart brought out the Ibiza vibes with this remix, rocking a sexy bassline and laid-back piano combo. Bream & Mekko had other ideas, and they decided to turn Utopia into a behemoth of a prog house number, full of massive synths and uplifting melodies. Each of these massive tunes has the power to brighten up your day, in surprisingly different ways!












Dimitri Kechagias review: Armada Music adores high class releases and  one of them was Utopia by Qubicon & Reunify featuring Yoshi Breen firstly released on the sublabel Zouk recordings. Now on ARVAS you have the chance to check out two additional  remixes that definitely add different flavors to the original. First of all  are Bream & Mekko who deliver the stunning epic progressive house version that has all the right ingredients to become an instant contender for mainstage performances at the big summer festivals. Stunning breakdown with break beat sequence that allows the fantastic indie rock style male vocal to shine bright while the euphoric uplifting synths appear to lead the track to the incredible hands in the air sequence that will blow your mind and make you jump up and down all the way through! Aytec Kart remix transforms the original into a modern deep house version with techy groovy chunky beats, playful deep basslines, piano chords, colourful sunkissed synths and variety of early 90's influences to add that retro mode to it. Relaxing, smooth, dreamy and soothing this is the version to calm your senses and hypnotise you on the dancefloor or keep you nice company in a lazy Sunday afternoon! #PureGold Love iT

1. Teach Yourself To Fly (Original Mix)

Norwegian producers The Blizzard and Daniel van Sand created a breathtaking progressive beauty with this one, sending chills down your spine at every turn.  

Jaren’s voice is almost too good for this world, and in ‘Teach Yourself to Fly’, she proves once more why she’s beyond compare.










Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most anticipated vocal trance releases is finally out and that is the original mix of the  stunning vocal trance beauty Teach Yourself To Fly by The Blizzard & Daniel van Sand featuring the stand out shinning vocal performance by Jaren. After the release of the Daniel Van Sand & Ascend remix we are treated first class with the absolutely mindblowing original mix that can be termed as balearic warm driving progressive trancer with haunting mysterious atmosphere. Pulsating deep playful basslines combined with chunky electro groove while on top emotional synths and piano chords coming in to enhance even more the melancholic tone. The breakdown is the moment that Jaren is shinning with her fantastic performance that raises the hair from your neck and you wonder if she is really a human or a goddess from another mysterious world secretly send to earth to guide us to the promised land. The lyrics are exceptional and perfect food for thought for those who dig on the track in a deeper level rather than just a superficial one. It's true that she inspire us to learn how to carry on leaving like the birds which leave their nest and must learn to be on their own. Emotionally charged performance that deserves great recognition. We just hope Jaren to come up with her solo album soon.  The climax is fantastic with blissful mesmerising melodies, synthy stabs to colourise the world and piano chords to add that sweet melancholy we feel the rest we stay behind when a member of our family decides to walk his own path and teach himself to fly! #PureGold Inspirational vocal trance from The Blizzard that never fail to impress along with Daniel van Sand. The Blizzard deserve a solo album too.  Love iT

1. Phase 2 Face (Club Mix)
2. Then, Still & Always Will (Live Edit)
3. Phase 2 Face (Original Mix)

Aerofoil confirms time and again that he’s integrated all the important ingredients to form the wide-spectrum that is professional trance.  

This release is certified to work in any large hall setting, and it covers every possible angle.  

This release is a double dose of exactly what party-goers crave and will undoubtedly fill the ear drums of thousands as they rejoice and celebrate life.  






Dimitri Kechagias review: The Dutch producer Aerofoil aka Nick van Mansum is considered to be one of the strongest in the progressive trance spectrum with unique style that stands out and offer him his deserved respected place within the trance family. His brand new release comes on ARVS/Armada Music and includes 3 fantastic tracks that will satisfy our desire for the next hypnotic trance journey. It includes  Phase 2 Face with Original & Club mix and the Live edit of Then, Still & Always Will. The original mix is wonderful deep dark trancer on the well known Coldharbour recordings style. It's very moody and esoteric with throbbing driving bassline, pounding techy beats and great piano melody that is repeated on top and adds to the track its ethereal feeling. The breakdown has that cinematic atmosphere.that excite your imagination and you wonder what is coming next. The outstanding dark and sinister sharp synthy riff comes to the forefront to create havoc and excitement. The climax is full on and in your face with swirling synths and side chain effects  with less melodic and bass focused. Then, Still & Always Will is a powerful progressive trancer that is more melodic and blissful than the previous track. The beautiful like sonar sound synths on top nicely lead the pounding bassline and the techy groove towards the breakdown that the massive electric guitar melody is introduced that will recall Pink Floyd for sure. The climax is full on and straight to the point hands in the air pure progressive trancer with various synthy plucks performing the summery sunkissed melody that the cool guitar riff introduced to us. It's great production that can be labelled as balearic trance as well and will get multiple plays in Ibiza. Last but not least the Original mix of Phase 2 Face is pretty similar with the club mix with the main difference that rather than following the tech trance direction after the breakdown he rather follows the melodic euphoric arrangement with that exceptional gigantic synthy lead at the top of the manic driving bassline giving the track that hands in the air crescendo moment. #PureGold Love iT

1. Force Majeure - Out Of My Mind (Xtigma Remix)
2. The Realm - Lost In Space (The Madison Remix)
3. The Realm - Lost In Space (The Space Brothers Remix)

This double remix release takes Force Majeure and The Realm to intoxicating new dimensions, imbuing these tracks with fresh new ideas. 

Xtigma’s one of the new breed of producers who rose up fair and square, gaining early attention as a winner of a remix competition for Paul van Dyk, and he’s steadily worked his way up with big releases ever since.

The Madison’s name is constantly placed alongside top quality, progressive/trance releases, and his skillful creation is joined by UK progressive trance duo The Space Brothers’ dubby revamp of ‘Lost In Space’.







Dimitri Kechagias review: ARVAS / Armada Music presents an exceptional package that updates in the best possible way 2 magnificent side projects of  Ricky Simmonds and Stephen Jones well known as Space Brothers or Lustral or Force Majeure or The Realm. The characteristic of all these projects is that not only the music component is very strong but also  the lyrics are inspirational and elevate the listener to a higher level.  First of all is Force Majeure with  Out Of My Mind remixed by Xtigma Remix. This upcoming trance producer does his best to make current and modern the original in true big room trance direction. Techy drums, punchy driving basslines, very strong synthy melody running on top and heartfelt pianos are combined perfectly with sweet female vocals that sounds like a goddess from another world is singing them. The revelation of the fireworks rave style synthy lead is the perfect moment to let all the inhibitions go and dance and jump along. Euphoric but with dark edges is an excellent translation of the original. The Realm's beauty Lost In Space is remixed by the Russian The Madison  who manage to establish himself as one to watch and always his name signals quality and must check releases. He recreates the original in his well known style with chunky crunchy groovy beats, electro kissed basslines, epic strings and melodic synths combined perfectly with the very interesting theatrical male vocal that invite us to feel like being Lost In Space. Exceptional breakdown with violins and balearic guitar that will travel your senses to IBIZA without return ticket. If you search for proglifting trancer that will keep the dancefloor boiling and preparing them in the finest way for the big tunes don't miss this beauty that shines. For the chill out / lounge style fans  Lost In Space is remixed in magnificent tripping chill out way by The Space Brothers themselves. Just relax for a while and feel the superb percussion, airy pads, warm strings and classical music themes with the fantastic male vocals transforming your life into an endless galaxy with endless possibilities and unexplored challenges. It reminds me  the trip hop sound of Bristol with Tricky & Portishead,  It is such an excellent idea to remix those beautiful trance anthems from the past! #PureGold Love iT

1. Teach Yourself To Fly (Daniel van Sand & Ascend Remix)

Musical synergy binds the talented forces of The Blizzard and Daniel van Sand, as the Norwegian bond invites US singer-songwriter Jaren for a little trip to prog-trance heaven. 

‘Teach Yourself To Fly’ follows the success of ‘Made For You’ – a gem of a track that heads for deep, warm and delightful.  





                                            
Dimitri Kechagias review: High class progressive trance is not easy to find as it needs special care and attention to each and every single sound layer that is used in order to achieve the depth of the sound. The well known and beloved The Blizzard collaborates with Daniel van Sand featuring vocals from the outstanding singer Jaren. The result of their hard work in the studio is the fantastic Teach Yourself To Fly. The first remix that appears on ARVAS/ Armada music on this future trance classic comes from Daniel van Sand & Ascend.  Deep brooding basslines, playful chunky groovy tech infused beats, cinematic strings,  mysterious moody atmosphere and on top as the perfect icing in the cake Jaren performs the stunning lyrics with her very emotional and highly expressive voice with some surprising moments. The breakdown includes really deep piano melody that stays in the background and it seems to be  the perfect place for  Jaren to shine with her unique story. The main synthy riff comes in the surface slowly and fully appears in the climax. Warped distorted synthy lead drives the track forward for its hands in the air highly emotional climax.Teach Yourself  To Fly remains really deep, esoteric and very inspirational as well during its whole duration so if you search for that extra sophisticated production don't look any further cause you just found it! #PureGold #VocalTranceAnthem Love IT
