Two years after Richard Durand's remix of Nicholas Gunn's 2020 single 'Fallen', both staple acts join forces on a stirring vocal piece featuring RAEYA. Touching listeners' hearts and souls with a soothing breakdown that marries emotional piano play with a vocal presence that exudes both love and strength, 'Not Afraid' is a soft touch and a whisper telling you that all will be OK.

Currently one of the most prolific and consistent Trance artists to emerge from Spain, DIM3NSION’s fifteen-year journey has seen him transition from bedroom producer to big label regular who counts the likes of Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk, Tiësto and Armin van Buuren as fans. With his 2016 track ‘Dopamina’ being the only record produced by someone besides Ferry Corsten in the Gouryella live shows, residing in the Beatport Trance chart well over a month and releasing on labels such as Flashover, Armada, Coldharbour and more, DIM3NSION’s profile is rising up fast.

Finding inspiration in the turn of the millennium output from the previously mentioned artists, DIM3NSION incorporates a distinctly modern twist into his music and produces a unique brand of mainstage ready euphoric trance. Tracks such as ‘Origami’ and its stellar follow up ‘Mangata’ signalled a step up for the Vigo born DJ, as well as Dopamina. In early 2018 the Spanish Trance master teamed up with Ferry Corsten for the powerful yet emotional single ‘Safe With Me’, hitting the Trance chart at #2 for a week long

With outstanding sets at Chicago’s famous Sound-Bar, London’s Ministry of Sound and Tomorrowland, as well as creating the official anthem for the ‘A Summer Story’ Festival, of which he played the mainstage, it is becoming clear that DIM3NSION is an artist on the rise in both Spain and the dance music community at large.

Fans already dipped their toes in the waters of Mark Sixma’s newfound direction in sound when he released album single ‘Million Miles’ a few months back, and the next wave of musical brilliance has just arrived. Today, the Dutch DJ and producer unleashed his long-anticipated mini album, urging fans from all over the world to explore ‘The World Of Six’ and unlock the story behind Mark Sixma’s most personal release to date, with album single ‘Meet Again’ as the most sparkling piece of all.


  
Showing just how versatile and open-minded Mark Sixma truly is, ‘The World Of Six’ sees its creator step out of his comfort zone to challenge himself. Built around the concept of six different themes – Energy, Unity, Creativity, Dedication, Interaction and Positivity – the album takes a step away from the slew of dance floor stompers he’s known for and instead makes for a six-piece narrative without any creative limitations. 


Mark Sixma: “It’s always hard to pick a favorite, but the track on the album I’m most proud of is ‘Meet Again’. Apart from the amazing vocals by Anvy, I also love that it’s unlike anything I’ve produced before. I just let the vocals guide me to where the song needed to go instead of going where people might expect me to go. That’s what ‘The World Of Six’ is about: embracing creativity and not being limited to just one sound or genre.”


Having been a resident artist of Armada Music for over ten years now, Mark Sixma turn heads almost immediately with some of Trance’s most iconic tracks to date. The Dutch DJ and producer made name for himself through tracks such as ‘Requiem’, ‘Adagio For Strings’ and ‘Restless Hearts’, linked up with the likes of Andrew Rayel, Armin van Buuren, Ben Nicky, Emma Hewitt, KSHMR and more, and turned in some rather tempestuous remixes of tracks from staple artists such as Andrew Rayel & David Gravell, Armin van Buuren, Binary Finary, Cosmic Gate, Sultan + Shepard, W&W and more. In all those years, Mark Sixma has proven time and time again that he’s able to reinvent himself and his sound to ensure his career remains as prosperous as before, and this album sees him take another huge step in the direction of creative freedom in its purest form.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Armin van Buuren & Garibay collaborate for the ultimate pop dance anthem Phone Down. The very catchy track gets the remix treatment of very strong team of artists.  Andrelli delivers the more relaxing smooth version perfect for the chilling moments of your DJ sets with playful tropical exotic touch. It smells summer cocktails for sure. Energetic electro house bomb version comes from the hands of BRKLYN who service a powerful makeover with punchy basslines, pumping climax and great application of the nice vocal.  Jorn van Deynhoven is back with another stunning trance make over. Big hi-nrg driving basslines, pounding drums, sharp synths and superb breakdown leading to the epitome of epic uplifting trance climax. Last but not least the awesome OFFAIAH translates the track into a tribal driving underground house beauty serviced with dub mix if you feel that vocals are too poppy for your sophisticated audience. #PureClass Love IT[/content]

Coming off of a phenomenal year both as a producer and on the live front, Rodg is known worldwide for making every minute count for himself and for his fans. As one who’s always looking to explore the farthest reaches of his own sound and the Progressive scene, he never fails to magnify the magic, ensuring that everyone gets to be high on life if only for a fleeting moment. Now, all of that comes together in his second artist album with an experimental touch: ‘Fate’.



Covering a wide range of captivating music that runs from deep Progressive to Trance to the wonderfully experimental stuff in between, ‘Fate’ is the culmination of every adventure Rodg committed himself to, every decision he’s made and every turn he’s taken throughout his increasingly impressive sonic journey. Featuring no less than eighteen mesmeric records that build toward the inevitable, yet undetermined ending we call ‘Fate’, the album juggles straightforward impressions and idyllic depictions with quirky hooks that unite people in their own way.

Rodg: “I always thought of ‘Fate’ as something that life leads you to, no matter what you do or happens to you, whether good or bad, wonderful or stupid. So, in a way, life led me to writing this album. Though it’s different from what I’ve done in the past, I think it ties in even better with the music I play in my DJ sets. It’s more experimental than any album I’ve done before, and I hope that will lead to some more amazing memories and experiences in return.

Davey Asprey's exceedingly uplifting productions will still be staple tracks when all is said and done, and the same counts for this peak-time banger. Chock-full of exhilarating synth plucks, impactful bassline and sweeping melodies, 'Aftermath' is the epitome of high-impact Trance.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Davey Asprey is one of the most talented producers out there with great sense for trance. His melodies are out of this world and if you check out Aftermath you will agree with me 100%. Energetic full on banging trancer with plenty of acid overtones merged beautifully with this incredibly delicious euphoric melody that will bring goosebumps, excitement and will drive you insane to say the least. When every uplifting melody sounds so generic and boring Davey Asprey comes to add his midas touch and refreshes the trance air with an anthem that oozes originality and class. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Dating over fifteen years back, Igor S' staple classic has found its way back into the hearts of electronic music fans. With this exceedingly powerful remix from Dutchman Maarten de Jong, you get to see 'Boomerang' come back around for some good ol' power Trance.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Maarten de Jong is on remix duty to revamp in 2019 the unmissable classic by Igor S - Boomerang. This new version is absolutely essential for any tech trance DJ set and not only. Ferocious driving basslines, thumping pumping drums, long emotional breakdown followed by bass heavy dark and raw climax. If you wish to get a tech trancer that does the job perfectly to energise and increase blood pressure then this track will do it perfectly. #PureGold Love IT  [/content]

This isn't the first time Sneijder drops a thumping remix and it won't be the last time either. With his remix of Ben Gold's 'Stay', the Irish Trance juggernaut shows to everyone out there that uplifting Trance is still the way to go when you need to make a mainstage crowd roar.

After wrecking Andrew Rayel's inHarmony label on two previous occasions, Chukiess & Whackboi once again turn in a high-impact monster. A gigantic, ferociously powerful link-up with Attila Syah, 'Cyberpunkz' is where devastating basslines meet blistering melodies to really make a crowd go wild.

 [item value="8"]Chukiess & Whackboi x Attila Syah - Cyberpunkz[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]inHarmony provides trance family with wide variety of styles and subgenres and the latest one by Chukiess & Whackboi x Attila Syah that is called Cyberpunkz manages successfully to inject psy tech trance with big room and even some old skool early Atari style 90's melodies. While the whole concept is executed perfectly with razor sharp basslines, vocal chops and rough synths the result is again without any emotional attachment to it that for me makes the difference in a trance track. However I can imagine many mainstage younger DJs adopting it and giving it some spins as it can deliver results instantly. Like IT  [/content]

Don't let the track title fool you, this could very well be one of the most slamming cuts you've ever heard. Armed with dark vocals, droning synths and gargantuan bass, 'Party Groovin' is the reason why you won't be able to feel your legs anymore when the morning arrives.

 [item value="8"]Alex Larichev - Party Groovin [/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Alex Larichev is moving and shaking with his latest track Party Groovin. It's big room trance but with strong electro and hip house vocals perfect for mainstage sets. The track seems to have a certain appeal but my only reservation is the soulless sound without the warmth and tenderness that I personally enjoy in my trance sound. However I can see that there are DJs who will drop it and get applause for sure. Like IT [/content]
